now that i think about it, this would be handy for remote support techs walking a user on-site on what to do..

"you see the 3rd switch from the top that has the cisco logo? i'll need you to power cycle it"

2 hours later

"oh i found it"

vs.

"you see the girl with the blue hair? unplug the box her hair's connected to"

their good devs and engineers have left

thanks. i have a laptop i deliberately installed debian on.. but that's about it lol

i'll take you up on the support suggestion too.. i recently had to figure out why a unix server went down at work. luckily we had a set of scripts and commands archived from the manager that supported it before he left. all i did was just run them with a little bit of logic and context applied, but it forced me to poke around a bit and seeing what each command did. i was careful enough not to break anything but i found it quite interesting

that being said.. what's a good website i can at least go to and learn some linux basics and progress to more advanced stuff? i'd at least want to check that out before i start bugging people..

i had the opportunity to take a class back in college but 18 yr old me couldn't handle a 7am class and know-it-alls in the back always interrupting the teacher and trying to show off in class..

ahh yes the "portables"

or you know... talk to your kids

the $7 per gallon gas prices and my previous boss forcing me to drive 50 miles to work with a car that was going to give out any moment soon...

piece of shit humans

but what about getting one for your dog?

when crazy stuff happens and people ask me "can you believe a person would do such a thing?", i'm like "actually yes, very much so"

they're so shockingly inept, i can't believe it anymore

i never wanted to strangle someone so much in my life
