  • Sure, but comparing what people thought 2000 years ago to what they think now is a fruitless endeavor.

    The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn’t the first but I digress) but should we exclude women and foreigners from it? That’s what the early proponents of democracy wanted.


  • First, you should probably lessen with the therapy speak. This is a personal thing but the commodification of therapy is actually a huge problem that we should talk about. But I digress.

    Second, maybe clarify this up a little bit? Are these people your roommates? Your upstairs neighbor? Downstairs? Next door? I genuinely don’t know who you’re talking about.

    But (I’m assuming these are your up or downstairs neighbors?) I had a buddy who was in a similar situation where even the microwave beeping would cause the upstairs neighbor to thump on the floor. He just had to complain to the apartment complex a bunch (basically every time it happened, as it happened) and eventually they got it sorted. The upstairs neighbor stopped being annoying and moved out shortly after.

    In an apartment you will hear your neighbors and it’s unrealistic to expect them to be perfectly silent all the time.


  • Ubuntu Server supports Windows Active Directory. I haven’t used it for anything but authentication (and authentication works flawlessly) and some basic directory/share permissions but theoretically it should support group policy too.

    It’d be cool if there was a mainstream FOSS alternative though (there might be, I’ve done literally 0 research), but this works okay-ish in the meantime.

    But for management of the actual production servers at work I use a combination of ManageEngine (super great and reasonably priced) and Microsoft’s Entra (doesn’t work well, don’t do it)


  • I actually just switched my tablet from a galaxy tab S8+ to an iPad pro. I use it for work a ton too so it needed to be able to keep up with me, and the iPad is enormously better in basically every way (except side loading which I don’t do anyways) than the Galaxy tab.

    Plus its not even like the Galaxy tab was cheaper. It was like $200 less than my iPad and my iPad has cellular which is incredibly nice.








  • I “technically” have busses near my house. The bus stop is on the corner and the grocery store is about 2 miles away. No brainer right?

    Nope. Because the bus only comes every 45 minutes (according to the schedule, good luck if you trust it) and it takes 2.5hrs to go from my stop to the one next to the grocery store.

    Or I can just walk the 25 mins or whatever it takes me to walk there.
