Seems like maybe if you meant “security guards” that’s what you would have written in your original comment. But that is not what you wrote. We are working off of what you give us here.
Even if you HAD written that, who pays security guards enough to give a crap and how many of them ever have the chance to stop a heist in progress?
Seems like there’s a head of security feeling pretty stupid for not having better protocols, but your blanket statement is pretty 🤡 to me.
Idk… I mean how many robberies have you stopped in your life? Are you a clown? 🤷
Usually at least once a day there’s a number 2.
Man I miss it like crazy and I frequently think about the lost connection to friends who still play.
I’ve got too many things to do to get back in, but it kind of stops me from gaming at all because part of the allure is being really invested and really GOOD. There’s the UI investment, the research, and just the casual play and chat time… I miss it all.
The guild I was in really kicked off at Cataclysm and we were alliance first for heroic end game (server second) for like 3 xpacs. I quit wow 4 times before it stuck. I started in vanilla in 2005 in college and played until… 2014? Pretty sure my main (and I had 3 characters) had about 370 days in /played.
It lives on a pedestal of gaming and I basically have to leave it sitting there until my family is grown, playing a casual chess game or two instead.
TL;DR: When it comes to games I’ve got no chill now. Even with casual chess I pay for lessons.
Edit:
As an aside, it’s wild to me how many people ITT didnt even raid at all, it’s like 1/3+ of the game! That’s carving some space for PvP, which was also hella fun back when PvP servers and griefing and casual raids of enemy towns was a thing.
It’s possible.
I’m more likely to say anyone who writes others off as bad people from a 1 dimensional, 3rd party anecdote is not an exemplar of “good people”. But that’s just me.
We also did a record amount of candy this year. Nice weather for it.
Edit: I would say we did between 350 and 400 pieces, 2 per kid. My neighborhood started at 5 ish and I turned out the lights at 8.
“sir they’re hailing us!”
“Thanks wife, put them through.”
“HEY FUCKER YOU DIDNT SIGNAL”
* my bad hand wave *
The older I get, the more I’m sure it’s healing/regeneration. Wolverine didn’t have a sore back after digging an afternoon in the yard or sleeping without a pillow between his knees.
Chess puzzles. Sometimes informational YouTube. There’s not usually that much time though.
Bro. How could you do that and not post to tell other people the things they like are wrong?
Folgers should be.
Which also means there should be rigorous standards to continue; similar accountability to any other job.
You shouldn’t be able to collect a hefty check and be like my college friend. He who failed out of our college 4 times because he was just there to go to bars do his own thing (which was not going to class or doing homework or really anything else).
Couldn’t say, for me it was way way easier than ESXI which was my first break into the space. And also more complete / straightforward than bare metal which was what I had been doing before unraid.
I paid for the lifetime license. No regrets.
Because it’s easy and does all the hard stuff out of the box? Also any sized drives!
Oh hi I picked up Linux for the CLI and shell and the UI for me has nothing to do with it.
There is no easy way to break into the scene and unraid is a one stop shop. So you want to set up a few little projects on your own? It’s learning containerization, learning networking and NAT, figuring out filesystems (and shares and share locations) and backup strategies, how to integrate with VPN, deployment strategies and templates (think Ansible, docker compose, make scripts, etc). There’s a shitload to know and not a “for dummies” place to learn it.
Considering the “easy” first project of ARR suite + jackett, integrate with transmission, and integrate with jellyfin or Plex: this is not a couple hours of work if you’ve never done it before. With unraid it’s probably one video tutorial and less than an hour? Idk I haven’t done that one yet. But it’s a common request.
There are a lot of things that need to hang together for a good homelab to work, and unraid for me has made it so I don’t have to spend all my time doing plumbing and background work to try a project and see if I even want to use it.
I would absolutely do a 101 on self hosting, but it seems everybody has different priorities on what to host and how so it’s probably not cut and dry to implement.
My last project is using machine learning to sort data for a company and the flow kinda goes like this:
Idk it’s not a super sophisticated problem but it has a lot of moving parts and you have to kind of tackle them in order. Mostly it’s “hey here’s an obstacle to the end goal, how do I fix it on my own in a smart way?”
Then do it.
Cooking and getting riled up by tankies I guess.
Banning people for downvoting carnivore**
It would not surprise me to find out that the louvre doesn’t pay much for security.
The few times I’ve been to the pyramid the guards have been less than unhelpful. They seem more decorative than anything. I left my phone once and someone took it to the security office there and I tried to ask a guard where that office was and he just kept saying “give up your phone is gone”.
I have no idea what their upper level security is like though.
