Just got back from Alaska, my 2nd kid was born, my wife got her first job in her career field, had to vacate a house that I was rent to own due to a busted foundation and being at the bottom of the hill so got super flooded and found black mold in the basement. Played a crap ton of halo 3. Started work at a NOC after completing my associates. Wasn’t a terrible year just a couple snags. I think my wife became disabled from her maladies at the end of this year as well. Things got pretty scary in the following year for us.

Everyday is a Linux party here! Been running gentoo for like 20 years on my server box, which has now grown a couple more boxes in swarm config and my wife’s machine is now mint.
For me I think I enjoyed 98, XP, 7 it was nearly Star Trek rules every other edition was ok. 7 was the culmination of the best of. But absolute shit ever since. Honestly wish I could just go back to 7 for anything that requires windows( I try to stay away from it whenever possible)
Funny enough I got 7 ultimate for free by having a Microsoft themed Tupperware party and using their party invite platform. They sent me a box with free copy and ms colored streamers and windows 7 napkins. I still have the napkins new and sealed. Had to take like 4 pictures with my friends around a laptop I think. Not a bad trade for the best version of 7. I don’t think they’d ever get people to do the same for the newer OS’s. 7 was one of the good ones
I just lost my ATI X1950XT yesterday after I bumped it installing a replacement HDD into my home servers raid cluster. RIP 20 year old GPU, you had a commendable service life
So either degenerate elder millennials or the S has been passed on to the next generation lol. There is hope for the youth yet!
Ah yes the cool S a relic of the late 1900’s along with Soap shoes and Discman

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a time you stuck to your principles despite it being inconvenient to you?
22·1 month agoI have a fairly strict policy of being honest and not intentionally deceiving people. This cost me back in my 20’s when I was working a call center tech support job for dial up internet.
Our management wanted 10 minute handle times even for tier 2 calls. I was a tier 2 rep and this was in windows 98 era so I would have to walk grandma’s through uninstalling their entire coms stack and clearing certain registry components and reinstalling them. For grannies I could get this done cleanly in 1 hour. My managers would occasionally swoop over and tell me to tell the customer I had to look up something and call them back. This I would not do, it would make me seem less confident in the fix which grandma already had to be encouraged and made to feel they were in capable hands to undertake and what if we got a typo in the phone number or we can’t get back to them so they’re left with their computer largely bricked for internet.
This resulted in me getting demoted, then promoted again to be demoted and then ultimately moved to a different department that had much more relaxed handle times while still performing a tier 2+ experience for an extra dollar per hour. So in the end it was a win but the yoyo happened at a very financially unstable time for me so it was rough

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone could create your "Ultimate Nostalgia Room" - what would it contain?
3·2 months agoA fridge full of Snapple elements, jolt cola in the battery shaped tall cans, a computer running EverQuest 2 release edition. A Commodore 64 with all my old sneakernet disks, a pinball machine, arcade wizard of war, and moon patrol. TV playing all of the original TMNT series, original VHS Star Wars, a crate of ninja turtle fruit pies from hostess, a crate of fruit stripe gum, and a pool table. Think that would be perfection.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•DAE in their 30s/40s/50s not really feel like an adult?
21·2 months agoI know when I first hit my 30’s it dawned on me in a panicked rush that people expect me to be a mature knowledgeable adult. I have accepted that truth but also know that I am still just as “adult” as I’ve ever been
