I don’t have the attention span to draw out a Pepe Silva looking graph (even if I periodically have to try to explain it to newbies haha)

Remember those parents forgetting their toddlers in cars on hot summer days? Being forgetful is a sin in the sense that if you don’t work to resolve it early or be mindful of it, that parent could one day be you.

No joke, that worry kept me up on more than a few nights because I’m forgetful as hell.

While my kid was that young, I had a stuffie that was in their car seat when they weren’t, and it went on the passenger seat anytime they were in the car. Thankfully nothing ever happened, but that was one of the many anxieties that came during the pandemic…

Oh man, you’re probably in a decent spot comparatively. It took me a couple years to get a therapist (past trauma with them), but that’s what finally helped me work through it.

Best of luck on your path. Though it is never easy, may the path be walkable.

Thanks, and it wasn’t an easy or quick process to get here, but I’m glad I did. Along with my void I’ve got an Odin who loves to give out love too.

As for when you’re ready, that day will come eventually and fretting about it doesn’t make it come any quicker. Good on you for finding something to put that energy to, I didn’t and it was a rough first year. Hopefully that will help the process.

I can’t do anything more than offer condolences and say that it gets easier over time. I lost my void of almost 20 years a few years back, and I’m happy to say that I finally overcame the grief and rescued another void this past year. Before then they’d make me cry, so I’ve made a lot of progress.

Nothing will replace your kitty, but the feelings do get easier to deal with over time. I still miss my old girl fiercely, but sharing that love with another kitty has helped, once I came to terms with it anyway.

Even if I’m already fixed?

Yes, but you’d be surprised how many times it takes for some people to realize that the “inadvertent mistake” was something the other person never cared to resolve.

Only once or twice. Past that, they’re not fixing the problem intentionally.

It is unreasonable to expect users to understand.

Or read, be it app popups or error messages. Or learn how to use tools that have been in place for years. Or take basic responsibility for their inability or unwillingness to learn and understand.

At some point, saying “it’s unreasonable to expect the user to understand something” is itself unreasonable. Maybe it’s because I’ve been in IT for like 20 years, but I have minimal sympathy for people who choose not to understand the basic utilities that they have to interact with for their jobs that have been in place for a long time. At the very least, you should know how file management works if you’re making files as part of your job, and that you don’t just delete files from your system, especially important business files…

Our work does basically all of that…and I hate it

Respectfully, no they fucking didn’t. Having to be on the VPN and deleting shit after 2 years are BAD configs and falls under beating them with hammers as noted in the previous comment.

It is unreasonable to assume you can delete a file from a sync app’s cloud dashboard and not expect that the deletion would be synced to the device.

I get that OneDrive is a mediocre product that gets forced on end users, but so many people turn their brains off and just try to kill it with fire instead of thinking through their actions before making rash decisions. Deleting it from the OneDrive directory is marginally less rash, but again, people delete files without validating the original is where they thought it was.

Because they don’t know how to use it properly, or intentionally use it wrong and complain when they lose data.

I’m not going to defend one drive in the slightest, because it irritates the shit out of me. But reading through this thread is giving me flashbacks to end user support and listening to old people not understanding why they’re causing their own problems. Like the number of times I’ve seen ‘it appeared in one drive and I didn’t like it so I deleted it and now my data is gone, what the hell’ both in this thread and irl is nuts…

If you self host, go Joplin. I was unimpressed with obsidian’s ability to use the same notebook in multiple systems easily, and Joplin lets me easily sync my notebook between systems using a docker container I host as the sync server.

Don’t point out people are misunderstanding the product, we’re here to shit on the product for anything and everything

It sounds like your ubiquity and your ISP router are on the same LAN segment, which is not a good config.

You should never have multiple DHCP servers configured unless you’re intentionally split braining your vlan (only ever done that for HA purposes and using half of the pool on each). Im pretty sure you need to have your ISP connected to your cloud gateway, and all of your gear connected to the ubiquity. Your ISP router should only see your ubiquity, and that’s likely a good part of the reason you can’t see all the DHCP leases on your ubiquity gear.

Were I in your position, I’d probably disconnect everything and slowly reconnect stuff one piece at a time until you trip over what’s causing your issue. I doubt this is the case, but you could also have another DHCP server running on something you forgot about causing issues. Seen that many times before when doing small business network overhauls.

Idk, ‘higher horror’ doesn’t sound like a super cool dimension to hang out in

The VR one is about the only one with a possible positive outcome
