dear introverts, what can I answer to a needy and clingy coworker who believes not talking means something's wrong (with me), so he leaves me alone?
  • I have a similar coworker, was constantly coming by and trying to start up conversation. Asking what I did the weekend etc. Why I don't like their pears etc.

    Finally one Monday morning when they came by wasting time I pulled off the headphones and asked "do you have a work related issue you need help with? " their response was "no I'm just socializing" I responded with something implying they'd actually be good at their job if they did that instead, and I'm not now or ever interested in socialising with them. They finally buggered off.

  • Wait, you mean providing people with opportunities instead of fines, makes it so they can start to afford to live?

    I'm shocked!!! Shocked I tell you!

    Ok not all that shocked.

  • It sinks.

    Tungsten isn't reactive with water, it's not an alkali metal.

    Sodium, lithium, potassium etc (alkali metals) would react violently with water though.

    When they were called weird, the only response was "no U R".

    When they claim that Tim Walz is a sexual predator.... that's projection.

    Yes I'm in a "safe Republican" state. Don't care, that "party" shouldn't be in power.

  • Because the assumption that there's no danger, coupled with the fact there's now oxygen inside the tank, much more likely to be near the flammable or explosive ranges.

    When full or in use you expect it to have fuel in it and usually take more care (obviously the welder isn't), and if a leak catches fire it then turns into a torch, until the tank overheats and bleve's (very unlikely that you don't notice the torch before the bleve)

    The big risk of full is, you might have a steady leak that stays in the area, and then you ignite it somehow. But the likelihood is very low that it would get to the flammable or explosive ratio in open air like this.

  • V2V level 3 is quite a bit different than V2L.

    V2V level 2 is very similar to V2L, but much slower than level 3.

    V2G is different than both, as you have to sync the phases.

  • Hypothetically, you're a bridge inspector. Someone reports a bridge in your area has problems and should be looked at. It's part of your job to inspect bridges that have reports filed. You go "look at" the bridge but don't inspect because "99% of reports are fake". The bridge collapses killing someone.

    Did you cause the death?

  • So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

    on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

    If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

    I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

    Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

    Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

    A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

    If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

    I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

    Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

    I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

    What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

    Thanks

    I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

    I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

    I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

    I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

    What bootcamps would you suggest?
