I love seeing ads touting “military grade” things, it basically means…it probably isn’t worth buying.

I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

You want hoarder…my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It’s insane.

HAHAHA.

Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

For me it’s…

• Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn’t come close)
• SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
• Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
• Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn’t fly.
• More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I’m juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I’m not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I’ve tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
• There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn’t available on Linux.

But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it’s almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft’s ecosystem, it’d be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.

I’m 5’2 and do this (when I can) which is…thought provoking. I just like the feel.

Portland, Oregon.

Fair enough, appreciate the insight!

Portland, Oregon.

Wherever is easiest to get up and out and go pee because I snuck in beer and I have a small bladder.

I’m confused by this and totally open for evidence that proves otherwise, but literally everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan is a bit more or…insanely more on the conservative side.

I don’t know any liberal vegetarian or vegans.

Just curious, haha.

If you’re there, can you hear them if you put your ear to the ground?

Do you mean Vivaldi runs in Gecko or is Chromium?

Umm, I don’t think so. I know my foot tapping speeds up and my heart rate goes up.

But I don’t think I really perceive anything else as speeding up. And, if anything, sounds drown out.

Total points comes back from an endpoint, so if you hit that endpoint it tallies it for you.

Plaid Pantry?

Kidding.

I have no fix to offer, but in googling around it seems like you’re not alone…unfortunately, I also didn’t find any solution. Kind of weird to see posts about this going back two years but not finding a good fix…

Could you explain more? Almost everywhere I’ve worked from Fortune 250 on down has used stored procedures with applications and it seems extremely clean and performance-oriented.

If anything, it separates code from the data more as far as I can tell, so maybe I’m missing something?

Also, if something is somewhat data driven and there’s a bug, you simply alter a procedure versus doing a build and deploy of the entire application.
