Ive just started in a government IT role; everything is windows, I use windows myself at home for games, but run WSL for hobby dev, home server management and stuff like that.

This is my first sysadmin role, having come from a Dev background, and administration on windows feels like such a chore. Everything takes ten steps to do, lots of issues, and feels very counter intuitive. I am not enjoying it at all. I suppose actual large scale Linux adminning probably has the same issues and I’m putting it down to lack of experience, but there’s so many small niggly issues that I know I could solve if this was a Linux environment that I can’t due to how windows is set up.

I’m hopefully getting to move into a more hybrid dev/admin role for some web stuff, but I firs thave to convince my boss to let me install WSL so O can have a sane dev environment for web dev.

Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.

This is super useful, I was thinking about writing something similar myself recently. Thanks for sharing! Being able to scribe the acfou t clean and start over is very useful. I have 900+ subscriptions that I guess just built up over time. Too many to manually work through and remove the ones I actually dont watch.

I mean, you’re on Lemmy and Lemmy is social media. Granted its user hosted but its still social media, with a lot of the same pitfalls.

You might not be aware but there’s also a fairly content-rich successor project called SpaceStation 14! Its obviously nowhere near as featureful as 13 is, due to lack of development time but has a very active development community around it.

One of the major (imo) improvements is a move to per pixel “real time” movement instead of the tile movement of ss13, it helps make them game feel much more alive and interactive.

Definitely worth a look for fans of ss13, and its also open source and Linux compatible.

I’m kind of in the same boat as you. My mainstay for the longest time was RockPaperShotgun, probably from 2008–2016 or thereabouts. Once the old guard left the quality of the site drastically changed, and it became significant shallower in terms of reviews. Not really sure where to get the same kind of journalism these days.

I’ve only played the 2006 game, (loved it. 10/10 game for me) and was really excited for what was going to be Prey 2, there’s still a trailer floating around for it, you’d be a human bounty hunter cast into the wider galaxy post prey 2006s story. Unfortunately that didn’t get made.

I’ve heard good things about the 2017 but have yet to play it! Its been on my list for a while.

I went to a house party once that was a lot of different nationalities of Europeans. Two French guys got increasingly drunk and belligerent about the aesthetic quality of French churches versus Irish churches. To the point they had to he asked to leave because they were close to starting a fight. I’ve met several frenfh people over the years and theres always some spontaneous comparison between something in france vs here. OPs story is not so far fetched.

From someone who worked as a dev/engineer for a long time dont downplay DevOps as “not really development” most of what standard development is today is wiring together different services and building a UI on it. DevOps is a critical part of the impillar that is software development. Just because you’re not writing the JS that renders the front end doesn’t mean you’re not developing for the product! Infrastructure is as important as UI!

It does completely. Also, its “Milquetoast”. Milktoast is just soggy bread.

Where did they post? This seems unhinged but also very intriguing.
