Just another chat thread. I love hearing your responses.
Trans-ing my gender. Parts I wish would hurry up, parts I’m still not ready for yet. Overall it’s been positive so far!
That’s amazing. I can’t even begin to comprehend the challenges you’re facing. I’m glad it’s going well.
Hair mostly, it’s everywhere. I’m terrible at shaving bodily extremities. That’s the worst I’m getting now.
My band is now officially a houseband for a local venue. Quite exciting!
I’m also writing a book, not necessarily to be published, but it’s a fun thing to do :)
Congrats! What kind of music are you playing?
What’s the book about?
Thank you!
Well, we play my own folkrock songs and then covers as well. We’re trying to make a chill atmosphere. We mostly want people to leave with a: “oh, that was really pleasant!”-vibe, but also mix in some humourous bits here and there to keep people entertained.
I work with elderly people, so I’m trying to make a book that explores some of the lives left unheard thorughout the decades :)
What I need to do to finish wiring my old truck, its a long project and I’m not gonna make any progress on it this weekend so whatever. What I want to 3d print now that I got it going. I’m wondering how my mom is doing, she was real sick last week and while doing much better still not back to 100%. What I want to do at the formula e race this weekend, part of why I’m not gonna make any progress on the truck well that and ive just stalled out on it. Should I take this lateral move into the office that might make me move back to the overnight shift but get me some office expierence that can get me out this warehouse into a job that pays better and isn’t always freezing or just stay where I’m at.
Wait what was the question again?
Found out about Oracle’s free VPS offering, which I’m so excited about! I’ve always wanted to learn more about system administration, and everything going on with lemmy + reddit has been kind of the perfect storm for me to experiment. I’m hoping this period of general optimism about this new platform stays for a good while longer.
I need to figure out how much power Leandra (my primary server at home) is pulling, so I can determine whether or not I need to get her a more powerful PSU. Because I finally have a GPU that will let me play with some of the more recent ML cores but she won’t boot if it’s installed (which I suspect is a power issue). I /could/ throw a couple of hundred bucks at a new PSU but I want to know what’s going on first.
I also need to get around to writing the modules that will plug my weather station into InfluxDB as well as a couple of different citizen science projects. I kinda regret not going with Weewix because I sank rather a lot of time into writing my own software, and I feel kind of conflicted about it.
Oh man. That all went over my head. I’m thr furthest thing from tech savvy
Is Leandra some kind of OS or Software that I don’t know or did you just name your server this?
That is the name of the server in question.
I’ve been fixated on small web stuff this past week. I went on some bbs boards, and joined ctrl-c.club, and so far those plus lemmy have basically perfectly fulfilled my internet social needs. I feel happy and refreshed after going online, its such a new and exciting feeling.
I’m currently at work, but I do want to make a video game, but I need artist. I have a mostly complete game doc for ideas and what needs to be done, I can code and will learn more, just not good at art sadly. And I suppose level designers too. Making it with gzdoom, so a “boomer shooter”
like where you shoot boomers? /s
what line of work? (don’t answer if you don’t want to)
Actually… A little bit, story is kinda wild lol but a UPS store
I’m working on a project review for an oil and gas site and I’m having trouble staying focused because I’m distracted and worrying about some hip pain I’ve been dealing with. Hoping I can figure out wtf the issue is so I can get back to being more active.
My dude, I can relate to the hip pain.
I was a bush rat for a decade. Tons of shitty walking. My one hip always gave me some trouble but I was too busy to get it looked at. Finally changed jobs, and now I have a 9-5 job. It wasn’t too bad, but I figured since I’m playing catch up, I should get it looked at. Went to physio and she made it SO MUCH WORSE. I was in agony all spring. Tried CBD oil, no luck. Went for a massage just to get some temp relief and it helped. Went back 2x more and it’s way better than its ever been.
I was actually at the doctor yesterday and he referred me to an ortho, but also recommended a sports massage targeting the hips and ligaments there. Said based on where the pain is, it is likely REALLY tight and strained tendons that need help releasing so they can heal properly. Fingers crossed!
I think that’s what is going on with me. Everything has been all out of wack for so long. Funny part is that I have been for massages before, and they didn’t help much. Guess I just needed someone who knew what they were doing
I just started a new job. The team is awesome and I really enjoy it. But I can’t help to feel somewhat useless as I still don’t know the environment very well and have to ask so many questions.
Dude, you’re doing well.
I work in a highly technical field that requires a very broad knowledge base. The first 8 mo of my new job, I felt like a clueless bumpkin.
I’ve been at it for 1.5 yrs now, and I feel less like that but it’s still a lot of learning.
Imposter syndrome gets us all at times. But hey, at least you’re asking, you’ll then know more and you’ll improve! They need to be patient with a new hire too, which it sounds like they are. Good luck!
I’m learning jetpack compose and trying to build a functioning app for an undetermined federated service
I have an old-timey fiddle band and there’s drama about our name.
I had a friend in high school whose dad was big into Bluegrass. Are fiddle jokes still a thing?
