    @craigmaloney Before I suggest this to ccMixter & Mike (the 2 biggest contributors), I'm thinking next year to simplify things only #FMA things will be eligible. I have FMA upload privs, and I'm pretty sure Cheyenne would give you privs if you wanted them. Worst case scenario, #CCMA has a curatorship, so we could add you to that. I think this is best since every other place has some sort of profit motive.

    It's not perfect, but there are some positives.
    1. It'll make onboarding judges much easier.
    2. It will be good for the FMA. As far as helping FMA...Jamendo hasn't done anything to help us out and I think ccMixter will be cool with the idea. They are already putting their mixes on other platforms. Soundclound and Bandcamp are just going to do what they are going to do. I've never been that um, in tune, with Magnatune

    3. I can just make collections rather than uploading everything on the backend ones nominees selected.

    I suppose archive.org would be another option, but archive.org is more of a jungle, and less of a garden, as far as I'm concerned

    That's all my char, so probably good stopping spot

    @craigmaloney You've played them before, but if you haven't checked out the January release, it's worth a listen: https://nolens.bandcamp.com/ -- as you're probably aware, I'm not super into #grindcore, but this has enough #doom / #sludge to keep things interesting. !metal

    I'm wondering if I can get away with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJhi43RntJk as song of the day at work. I mean it is !Minnesota, surely we should be in touch with our Scandinavian brethren.

    definitely would seem that way: https:// www. forbes .com/ sites/ericwagner/2013/09/12/five-reasons-8-out-of-10-businesses-fail/

    I intentionally broke the URL because you only need to read the headline and Forbes won't let you see anything with an adblocker, so why send them traffic anyway?

    I don't remember where I heard the story, but there was a guy that outsourced all of his work to China. He got caught because he picked up a gig at a place with strict auditing requirements working with the government.

    The point being...it's not the worst idea in the world.

    It'd save people a ton of time though.

    I would sometimes be frustrated by the pop-news aspects of the show, but if you've never listened it's certainly worth giving a shot if you do anything legal-related to the web.

    @craigmaloney there seems to be a delay in your notices getting to federati. I saw you post about equity on loadaverage. It can work, but delayed payment is likely to be at least quarterly. It's been so long since I wrote those blocSonic docs, I'd have to look, but I think we're quarterly.

    Does TWIL (the TWiT network show) count in Minnesota? I wouldn't assume for bias, but just curious. I know it counts or counted in some states.

    I don't want to belittle the shooting, but it has to be said...

    YouTube comments are the worst.

    someone in management probably saw a dollar sign, but the curious thing about that is they are moving away from...well, I don't know, but something UNIXy. Let's say they are on Solaris. Why the hell not just move to Linux? And if cost is that big of a concern you can run plenty of distributions without paying any support fees.

    Windows being case-insensitive is a huge pain for migrations. Going the opposite direction is easy-peasy for probably obvious reasons.

    UNIX to Windows definitely *can* be done, but the flags needed to make it work need to be run like that forever, and basically, you're turning any sort of consistency checking off so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's the you're literally running on fumes version of YMMV.

    It is a design flaw in our software? Possibly...but it's not like we are hiding that this is an issue. Multiple instances in bright red letters saying this is a problem in a migration KB.

    in this case, I know for a fact that some things will work, but just general lol for using Windows 10 as a server.

    More broadly, the admin is being put in situation not of his own doing, but aside from the Windows 10 issue, this is serious you-need-to-have-a-heart (ok, I'm done with hyphens) to heart with the CEO/CTO/etc territory if this is what you're trying. It's a situation where it might work today, but you're putting the system in a state where data loss is highly likely in the future.

    It's not my case. I don't know how old it is. I'm not sure if it's ongoing or not, but I think the admin is going to give it a shot and if it doesn't work going to the manager with the fact that it doesn't work and he's got the documentation from us to back it up.

    The worry though is that it does work now and he'll have a system in an unrecoverable state in the future. We'll certainly try to help if things go sour like that, but I feel like we're at the point in the horror movie where you're just shouting. DON'T GO IN THERE!! We're going to be like the sheriff going into a place with a lot of dead bodies.

    I dunno. Being smaller means it's easier to go in things. Cycling through the winter though, I always made sure my phone was in an internal pocket instead of a bag. I'm in no way equipped to have much of an argument about physics though.

    I can say this about our Leaf: They tell you it might not work at temps lower that -19F. Of course, Nissan not Tesla.
