  • Back in 1999 the company I worked for was growing so fast that they couldn’t hire fast enough. They paid EXTREMELY well but everyone was always overworked. They attacked the problem of lost time by having fully stocked kitchens, and food delivery runners (free). They alao added a coffee station with early version of the automatic barista machines Starbucks uses.

    If this dumb idiot has a problem with his employees leaving the building for coffee, he can add a free Starbucks to the office and hire staff to deliver the orders placed from each cubicle. Cheap fuck.






  • I am a control freak when it comes to my systems. I don’t like them doing their thing on their own schedule. The network servers (Thinkpad Thinstation and a Raspberry Pi) controlling access, DNS, etc. are updated and rebooted regularly but in a staggered order so that my network is never down. One kicks off at 05:01 and the other at 05:31. Five in the morning is normally the time when I can’t function, so it is the best time for a break. Not even my insomnia can withstand 5AM.

    It was 6.9.3 once I booted after the move. I assume it had been updated but waiting for a reboot to use the new kernel. Until I rebooted, it was probably still running on the 6.0.9 image.

    If uptime and having the latest kernel ever becomes something I care about for this server, I might switch to Ubuntu Pro. It is free for personal use and it includes kernel livepatching. I can’t imagine why I would need it for this use case though.
