Managing #permissions in OneDrive (or SharePoint or whateverthefuck) is a total trash fire for users. I hate to praise Google, but they do it so much better.

Spent the first 3 hrs of my Saturday cleaning my house. Like bathrooms and bedrooms and kitchen and just scrubbing and disinfecting and toilets and everything. 3 hours of my day and I'm completely wiped out.

Are you sure Gen Z and Milleniels can't afford houses? Like maybe they can but just don't want to... Cuz it's backbreaking labor as soon as you buy one. The work is CONSTANT.

Have a hobby? Fuck that, you need to scrub your toilets and wipe down your mirrors.

Have energy? Fuck that, you need to pull your Christmas decorations out from the crawlspace under your stairs and lug them to the living room just to pull them back downstairs in 30 days.

Fuck homeownership...

Thank you

I need #LibreOffice to make CTRL+Y functional. Agh.
Moving an object farther down the layer stack needs to be once a second with CTRL+Y (or even their weird CTRL+SHIFT+Y), not a right click in just the right spot (which might now be unclickable) followed by two or three selections in a context menu.

I love LO, but stuff like this (and there are a dozen or so such glitches) makes me want to tear my hair out and just go use PowerPoint, which works pretty seamlessly for these details.

AWS had a little #oopsie, and now all the cool kids are losing their minds 🙃 over their broken apps. #DynamoDB in us-east-1 is #down, but at least #Reddit is still up for everyone to #whine about it! 🤦‍♂️ #FirstWorldProblems

Halp! I want to charge my phone but the plug and cable are 6ft away and I'm comfy! #whine

So apparently a very successful, popular entertainer has announced a new thing and it’s somehow going to be pumpkin-related, as in orange. I’m mildly bummed about this only because my car is orange. I like my orange car. It’s easy to see in parking lots, for instance. It stands out amongst all the white and silver and ugly gray cars on the road. But now, against my will, I’ll be assumed to be a fan of this person. I’m not not a fan, but still. #Whine.

Frustrating couple of hours.

1. Drove half an hour for a #vaccine appointment I made at a CVS location through CVS.com (they tried to upsell me, made a specific appointment time, told me firmly to bring my insurance paperwork, etc.) only to be told by people at the counter that they have no pharmacist who can administer vaccines and don't know when that will change. Sounded distinctly like I was being scolded.

2. I'm still on #facebook because of friends & family, and one of the groups--Welcome to Night Vale--has become unusable: first 20 posts had 13 for a performance group and 5 for merch sold through non-NightVale-affiliated companies. Two actual posts.

In positive news, I soothed myself on the drive home from #1 with some potato salad from a nearby grocery store.

Ugh. Big gig done, now I need to get on with trying to promote the next one in a week and a bit. #ffs can I just get on with writing and playing music? None of this other bullshit please? #socialMediaIsKillingUs #smallBands #gigs #whine

I have been having Secure Shell hangs when sending/receiving bulk data (large packets) between my workstation and a WAN server. I think I've discovered bad behavior somewhere in the WAN.

I figured it out by pinging the remote host using different sized packets with the Do Not Fragment bit set. Above a certain size, one is supposed to go from receiving ping responses to getting back ICMP error packets indicating the packet was too large and that fragmentation is needed, along with the MTU size to use. This called Path MTU Discovery.

Instead of that I get three behaviors: ping response for small packets, silence for midsized packets (bad!), and error response for too-large packets.

This is really bad news, and it seems TCP just stops working if it can't get those too-large packets through.

Anyway, the WAN provider apparently autonomously rebooted their equipment, and the problem is now gone, but it has been dogging me intermittently the last several months. It's a real pain when ssh craps out when cat'ing a long file or git fetch sessions hang.

I now have the start of a tool that I can use to monitor that bad behavior is happening, though.

I had a mailing list back in 1989 called "Morning" where a bunch of us systems managers from different universities sent their morning whines into the universe to make them go away. I am the last person of the original membership alive now.

Another #whine about Microsoft. I use the 365 web suite. If I go to office.com now I am redirected to a Copilot page which I want nothing to do with.

I found this out when trying to show a new employee how to access all the web applications which I now have no clue on how to access.

Bright idea! Ask Copilot how to completely disable it in 365. I get an answer (see the image) which is

FUCKING WRONG!

There is no Microsoft Copilot setting in the Admin Centre!

Second bright idea: Ask Copilot how to access the Microsoft 365 Web apps. The answer?

Go to office.com and access them there.

Fuck this circular shit!

I don't want this AI shit shoved down my throat. I don't want to use. I don't want to see it.

Tiiiired (#whine). Came back late Sunday, straight on shift Monday-Friday, even if lates, I don't feel I've stopped yet, so this weekend is going to be a very welcome respite.
I figured it might be physically hard as we pushed ourselves very much Sunday and it's definitely been that.

I think I've earned some of the good whiskey tonight ☺️

@numist that's fair, and maybe it'd be less jarring if the older commit was on the left, but SOME indication of order/flow of time would be REALLY nice. :/ #whine

Friday is my day off. The day where I lay around, reading utter fluff and try to regenerate energy for the week ahead. It’s a terrible day to have off because everyone else is working.

Sadly this morning was the only day the hairdresser had, so I dressed, caffeinated and dragged myself there. Only to find out my date was wrong, it’s next Friday instead, and now I’ve ruined two Fridays mornings in a row. #whine

I have cramps, and I must whine. #whine
