More layoffs today. Looks like I need to start looking for a new job from the amount of downsizing they are doing.
Wow, I wish you the best of luck... maybe you'll find something you like better. Makes me thankful we are still operating at full capacity (remotely), taking on new customers, etc. Our company has no plans to be back in the office until at least June 1 or later, despite the idiocy of our governor.
If you can do that - one would/could, perhaps should - why would you ever go back?
Same question I've been pondering lately... I've had to go in every morning (just in case a power button needs to be pressed or whatever), but everyone else is doing fine from home. Well, I can't speak to whether or not they are actually doing their jobs from home, but I know they have the ability to do so.
This is one of our problems. Using FOP2 it's pretty clear we have at least one operator who doesn't seem to be doing their job while home.. skipping way to many phone calls.

Fire those that can't work from home
If only more companies understood this.
You don’t actually think that @Dashrender‘s company does, do you???
yeah, there is zero actual chance they will be left home. they dont' want to fire and get new staff, not the supervisor, but above her.

Time for me to buy some new drives and make a software raid for my plex server.
One of the old ass drives must have puked.
And the even older raid card is such a piece of shit now. It was never “good” but it has worked for for than a decade. Came out of a backup appliance we bought in 2008.

Did some research on getting a 3D printer. But decided not to bother as once I've used it to print a few things we wouldn't use it again

Find a local makerspace. Should be a few near you.

Those seem so expensive and time consuming. Not much better than just buying a 3D printer for a month of use and then selling it used or just holding on to it.

maintaining a 3D printer can be a HUGE PITA, for a small number of prints definitely makes it worth paying others to just handle the print, you only pay for a successful print, if you own the printer, and it fails, you loose those funds, etc.

Server updates.

Trying to figure out what is causing my laptop to completely lock up with Pop_OS 19.10 (did this with Fedora 31 as well).

Just finished writing a little saxophone duet that came to mind tonight. I'll try to make time this week to record it and upload to YouTube.

Ubuntu 20.04 - Firefox
By default in the Ubuntu Software store only shows snap version of Firefox but the installed version is is a deb file app.

-ish
It started a over a month ago with Fedora 31, and I was able to narrow it down to likely something in the kernel not playing nice with Intel graphics chips starting with kernel 5.4+ (rather than Firefox causing the problem, which was the first seemingly common denominator in all of this). Because I was itching to give Pop_OS a try, I hopped to it at the start of April. All's been fine until the last week or so. Currently my Pop_OS 19.10 installation is using kernel 5.3.
When I gather some more information, I'll probably make a thread about it here.

This was another reason. After reading about setup and just running the things seemed to much hard work. If I got a hobby that would use it more often I would get one.

Taking Avixa online courses for AV certifications my company now wants everyone to have; seems like that's the new direction.
