… This is a really bad time for a “I am Spartacus” thing.

I would recommend a VM to try a few things. HyperV, while not the greatest, is good to start off and comes with Windows Pro. Set up a Debian or Ubuntu and a Windows VM and take away its internet. That should get you most of the way.

Does the island protection with if you have two inverters running independently? (legally or not)

Also, emergency service hazard. The PV won’t turn off if firefighters take out the mains, which makes a house potentially inaccessible during an emergency.

And understandably you wouldn’t switch plans if all you’re talking to is sales without context.

we use vmware because customers do. if they migrate - which they might because of the licensing thing - we will too. so it’s an actual possibility already.

fingers crossed!

and we still can’t get vmware to run properly on our company laptops. current theory is p/e core scheduling shenanigans. it’s only been two years, what can you expect from the global leaders in virtualization and os.

i swear, before i upgrade I’ll move my team to Linux. I’ve been mainlining debian for six years without issues, INCLUDING RUNNING VMWARE.

You see, because of the stark absence of women, we kinda had to make our own.

They collected incognito session info, whose entire existence was ‘not keeping a history’, so almost 100% the latter.

Fair point!

and you’ve never been up with friends past your bedtime. 🙄

Not even that. I’m sure you’ve heard “it’s tomorrow when I’ve slept”, no matter what the clock says. Switching terms at midnight will cause confusion more often than not.

Obviously it would require some getting used to, but already people can’t comprehend time zones, so that won’t change. My grandma called in the middle of the night all throughout our three year stay in Australia.

Sure, I don’t mind. I live in CET.

Personally, I think it’s just easier. Yes, computers and stuff, but we’ve perverted local time long ago with DST and country spanning single time zones, so might as well use one global zone and get rid of the confusion altogether.

In Europe we’ve been talking about ending DST for years now and it hinges on countries deciding which zone they want to adopt permanently. Why can’t they decide? Because the notion of getting up at six and having lunch at 12 is stronger than the cosmic fact of the sun being in the middle of the sky. We just need to decide how we want daylight to fit into that grind.

I say fuck that. If we can’t decide, don’t. Since we’re changing everything anyway, going to UTC will force everyone to think how THEY want to live their lives. When to open stores, whether to move opening hours in winter or summer, when to go to work (both early birds and night owls are great).

Plus in today’s globalized world, 14:00 will be 14:00 everywhere. You decide for yourself if you’re working then or not if somebody sends a meeting request halfway across the world.

We’ve gone too far. Everyone just switch to UTC please. Yes, it means some will go to bed at 2pm and get up at 10pm, so what.

I’m not visiting any of those sites regularly. I’m not subscribing to any outlet without sampling their content, either. So that was always going to fail.

In the before times you were able to purchase one edition of a paper and be done with it. Now it’s subscription only, so they won’t see a dime from me.

And THAT’S why you don’t roll your own datetime class/column format. It’s a solved problem, people!

Yeah, and then everyone involved in GME left the sub. What remained was what remains today.
