I know it hasn't been a great year for the Browns, but goddamn Garrett.

If it wasn't for DeCastro (66), that would've been a far more dangerous hit.

Yooooooo.

For anyone doing that XBox Game Pass on PC thing:
Anyone with a Discord Nitro account (I just got one the other week to poke around with it; was gonna get rid of it after the month) is being given 3 months of XBox Game Pass free.

and I keep a small test server on the same droplet.

I need to do this.
Well.
I need to, uh, get help doing this. I tried. It failed. I cried*

*I did not actually cry.^
^I just wanted to.

do you have that Discord chat? I'll send my account # over via PM. I'd like to chat about costs, what is available, what I need I think now and just general user experience with it

Ares can run fine on the $5/month DO droplet. Probably forever. It's got 25G of disk space, and there is a referral bonus where you can get your first month free.

this is what SGM has. Have had no issues. Do recommend.

I have to pull all my screenshots, videos, and references ('let me do that myself so I can best describe....') from a test instance at work. Understandable. Don't want me mucking about in production.

U N F O R T U N A T E L Y we use a spot instance* for this. And it has been spottier than usual lately. Like, 'back down 15 minutes after it's brought up.' Our liaison with the dev company emailed them today to go 'Get us an on-demand instance or put a higher bid.' They said nah, money. Business manager went 'Uh, I'm sorry?'

I was on the other side of the table like: '......I just hate pestering them every time it's down.'

I got a round of: 'No. Pester them. Email them every single time. This is getting ridiculous.' (80% of the time, I am the only one using it.)

I love my team.

*A spot instance, in our case, is basically low-level 'highest bidder' cloud servers with AWS. So for something that is low need/use, it works. Your server will be there, but if someone has a higher bid in the system... you can get knocked out. So either AWS (possible) is having more issues of late or their bid (also possible) is way too low.

@Bananerz
Faraday needs to invite you to the Discord, but she should be avail. soon. (Prob. working rn!)

The directions are also not very difficult, but yes, @faraday will gladly assist.

I recommend joining the Ares Discord!

Being a supportive sibling, I was like suuuuure, I'll try keto with you. It's fine. We can do this together.

Ignore the fact that my job LITERALLY is baking sweets, pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, and all the carbs daily.

FML

my love of baking bread is p much the #1 reason I will never do keto

@Auspice Booooo .. I don't even know what a pop socket is supposed to do.

Yeah. I know. I'm out of touch. But I'm friendly?

You are!
It's like... a way to hold your phone? I have small hands and all phones are big now. I rely on mine a lot.
They also tend to be like, $10 and I got mine on sale for $4 so it's like gdi.

"Again, 99 problems and the trolley isn't one of them."

booooo the pop socket on my phone broke.

(the most irkiest of irks but I'm irked)

@Arkandel said in Recent banning:

It can also point to situations like what Theno posted where history is effectively rewritten and there's no record of their posts any more.

As a note, it already does this, given that you've got it set up to blank all the posts by the banned party.

I think magee blanked a ton of their posts manually

@Ganymede said in RL Sads:

@Auspice

Perhaps a jealous RL partner? I’ve heard of that kind of bullshittery.

Frankly, any person that asks me to dump a long term friend for sex is probably not worth the trouble or the sex.

That DID cross my mind. Last I knew, there was no RL partner.
But, it is entirely possible they got one between the last 'sit down and catch up' because the two of us have a very long history together, have been very close (did briefly date, disastrously, when we were 21), so I could see that sort of scenario. And while I am with you (I want my SO to have friendships: my ex-husband was so clingy I would frequently shove him out the door to go hang with his friends), I know not everyone feels that way.

google (name) (city) death notice

I actually saw them pop up like, an hour after I posted that, on a chat program we're both on.
Sent a message.
They were off shortly after.

So Something Is Up.
I dunno what.
Our last convo was literally cheerful, upbeat, catching up about life and work.

I guess the upside is I know they're OK.
Downside is... I dunno why the sudden radio silence.
