Dylan bettle talks about this in one of his presentation. He made a website that did actor and actress recommendations, I believe for like extras to be hired. They kept getting alerts around 7-715am and then around 12.30pm to 1245pm.

Eventually they figured out that casting agents typically woke up, checked email, and submitted the requests on the website. The actors and actresses typically had other jobs and had to wait till lunch to check and apply.

They had to redesign the system and buy more bandwidth to handle these spikes.

He’s a great presenter and I highly recommend watching all of them, even if you’re not a programmer. And I probably got most of the details wrong… But it was a talk at one of NDC conventions.

Years ago I was working second shift, 4pm - 1230am. My manager had a 2 hour commute and had to wake up at 7am to get his kid to school. He had to be last out by policy and did not want to stay late.

His policy was all your work was to be done by midnight. 12 to 1215 was to clean and organize your station. 1215-1230 was to degown(esd safe/clean room assembly space), get your stuff(lunch boxes, coats etc), use the bathroom, warm up your car and wait for 1230. He was out the door with the alarm set by 1235. If you were still in the building have fun talking to the police.

He would check and if you were still working at 1205 would come by and ask why you’re not done yet. It worked out extremely well.

True, i get that. My question is who called them? Not asking for doxxing information just that who ever it was is probably angry and hateful in general and should be ashamed of themselves.

Why were they “responding to a snowball fight”? What broke law were they investigating? What even made them go there? Yes the police shouldn’t of taken it to this level but also which grumpy person even called the in the first place?

Try to get a job you enjoy. For example I had a friend who liked tinkering with cars, he got a job as a auto mechanic. Some days he would be tired after work but on most Saturdays he would still be outside replacing/installing something on his own car.

I liked fixing things and solving problems. The joy when everything worked as it should and the machine started up. Having a problem in mind and breaking it down to separate components then understanding how it all interconnected and then seeing where the failure was. My favorite job was as a engineering technician.

I worked with someone who was going through a rough patch of life(had back issues due to previous job, his wife left him and they were fighting over custody). He straight up told the manager he just wanted a basic job that didn’t require him to think and he could just get into a zone of work. He was given such a job, basically put unit in machine one, press start, take unit out, clean off burrs with file, blow off with compressed air, put unit in machine two, take unit out and pass it to next station. He didn’t know how the machines worked or did he want to. He would call me over when something went wrong or the machines weren’t working right. That said holy shit could he put out a lot of work. His average was about 1.5 times what was expected out of most people, his peak was over 2 times.

Don’t make your favorite hobby your career or you will likely end up with both a hobby and job you hate. Find something adjacent to your favorite hobby.

I would go longer on the clothes but otherwise good advice. Typically I figure 1 year. For example if OP is in the northern hemisphere, it’s winter and 2 months ago would be around Christmas time… He probably hasn’t worn any shorts and maybe not any short-sleeve shirts since then. That doesn’t mean he won’t wear them in 3 months when it’s warmer.

Typically I try to make it a early December tradition, anything I haven’t worn in a year gets donated for needy families before the holidays. Everything else gets washed and hung up backwards. Next December if a piece is still backwards, it gets donated.

One additional reason for this, if you mess something up you want sine working method to look up a resolution. If you change both and do something wrong so both systems are broke you don’t have a way to access resources that tell you what you dud wrong and how to fix.

Look… The other night I was drunk and mistakes were made

Anyone can sue anyone else for anything…

I could sue you for having anal sex with my night stand… I would lose since you didnt(I hope) and that’s not illegal but I could sue you for it…

Yeah the problem is I don’t have a card reader on my main desktop and I tried a bunch of my old passwords and none worked so I was just going to reimage it.

Interesting, I did not know that…

Yeah I’m thinking my SD card is failing… I know it’s slow but I tried to do a fresh install in recovery 7 hours ago and it’s still initialing the “noob” installer.

Supposedly I was thinking to small, I was thinking like trying to use nmap to discover all ip addresses on my lan or load vim to practice vim motions (I get the idea but I’m still too slow put in alot of commands cause I’m like ok… Up 10 lines, ok, up is… Look on cheat sheet… I… then number of lines… That was 10…look on cheat sheet… Oh just enter 10…it didn’t work… Figure out because it’s not ingrained in my head the time looking at a cheat sheet is making commands time out).

Yeah, I tried virtual box on my main system and kept running into odd problems with every distro. For example Debian had a full second of input lag, with 2 cores of a 13th Gen i5 and 16 gb of ram dedicated to it. Kali would install and I ejected the “installation medium” aka the iso and reboot and the virtual box couldn’t see any bootable drive. I tried fedora and it kept freezing on installing(sat at like 35% for over 3 hours)

Pretty sure it’s rasp2b but maybe a rasp3… Its in a case so I have to open it and look at the markings

CCC would also work. I think at either convention that talk would be standing room only if not shut down by the fire Marshall

You know if somebody did this with an encrypted data but only like every 50th frame on a video like that old “smiling man” videos or they “watch Ian sleep” videos then someone saw it and posted it either here or Mastodon or one of the forbidden companies it could generate a new conspiracy.

Would be great if a bunch of people did like a full deep dive. Getting the raw videos, figuring out the frames to extract, determining the encryption method, find a method to decrypt it, combine all the fragments back together, figure out its in some obscure latex format, write a custom interpreter for that format which hasn’t been used since the early 90s…people online thinking it’s some state actor or like a command and control module for some bot net… They finally crack it all and access the raw data and it’s just a backup of pornographic slashfic from usenet back in the day.

Especially if breaking the encryption was like a novel and new approach. Imagine like a talk at defcon “how I found about Harry Potter’s sex with Gwen from Spiderman…and broke aes256 in the process”

OP - I’m not saying this is what you are backing up but the idea of this was so funny to me.

Possible but with no other evidence I would reserve judgemtof this man

But it should be attached to his sleeve…

Is it just me or does this look like a photoshop/Ai as the badge on his arm doesn’t contour to his name like a sewn or iron-on badge would??

I honestly feel very similar. The closest I can kinda understand is like a guy at birth wanting to wear a skirt, in which case I say go rock that skirt. Or maybe a girl at birth wanting to feel accepted in certain male dominated activities in which case it’s a problem with those activities and not the girl.

I’m a guy at birth, I guess I identify as a guy but it’s meh. If I was misgendered at most I would make a overly dramatic joke but it wouldn’t effect my physiologicaly.
