I am British, most people don’t need to even think about taxes here as its all automatic. Only really something you might need to look at if you are self employed or its your job to deal with it.

I would probably take a picture of it, but if for some reason I absolutely needed to print a copy (which I haven’t in over a decade) I would just go to the library to print it.

What is the point of that?

Can you not go from the toilet to the sink without your phone?

You guys have to print out tax forms?

Why would I get a laser printer? I don’t want a printer.

Yeah, wouldn’t want to get bacteria on your hands a few seconds before washing your hands.

The more I hear from big tech companies the more I want to reject it. I don’t even own a printer.

Now add VMs and proxmox

We did have well over 100 tickets in the queue, now they split the support team into multiple sub support teams and each sub team has fewer tickets in their own queue. The total number is still massive but compartmentalising the problem makes most of it go away! I can filter it down to such a degree my queue is almost single figures by just ignoring everything else because that is someone elses problem.

Also my sub team doesn’t have anyone to cover 1st line on some products so I am covering 1st line there as well as 2nd line. Upside is my stats look brilliant now that I am doing all the password reset tickets.

Unpaid overtime = work is just not going to be done.

No mention of Dwarven metal yet?

Yeah, burn them at the dealership instead!

You are focusing on negative news. Stop doing that. There are also plenty of good things as well but they rarely get talked about. For example, we now produce more new solar power production in a day than we did in a year a couple of decades ago. Production is increasing. The average person in the UK (where I live so I would focus on that a bit more) produces less than half the CO² than they did in 2000, which is its self a bit less than was produced decades before. We actually produce less than the global average now.

There is an increasing push on heat pumps now, its likely still in its early phases. I got one a bit over a year ago and its great. So much misinformation about them online though. Which I wouldn’t be surprised if its pushed by the gas industry.

You might have depression

I still remember sticking files on an apache server and openly sharing that with friends. Not had a need to do that lately but I can always start doing it again if necessary.

Certainly could, depends what exactly you want to run and the specs of the machine of course. Something to keep in mind though is if its very old it may cost more in electricity than a fairly cheap new machine. But really it depends on your use case.

A lot of self hosted things have fairly low requirements but not all of them.

I thought it was ok, but not even close to the other two.

I have an sqlite db that is a few GB in size, game saves using the format. Sadly almost all blob data, would love to play with it if it was a bit more readable

They don’t understand joins? How…
