Death scrolling ML, been a while since I've had a chance to post here. How is everyone doing?
I got a new job around 6 months ago. I'm now a network engineer, and like the job/coworkers/manager.

Just finished collimating my telescope. It needed done badly now that I got a new mount and tri-pier.

I've been meaning to ask how your setup is going.
Have you been able to get out with it lately? -

Have you been able to get out with it lately?It's going well now. My main interest is astrophotography, and with what I had, my biggest limiting factor was tracking (mount/tripod). I don't have a big aperture scope, so of course that doesn't help, but it's way more than enough to fulfill my needs with the proper foundation.
The camera I have is absolutely amazing, I'd get it again. The downside is compatibility with numerous astrophotography tools (as well as the fact it's not a dedicated astrophotography camera). It's working mostly fine on Linux (Astroberry rPi), thankfully, but still has it quirks. We use the camera for regular photography all the time so it's definitely worth it aside from that. Maybe I'll get a cheap ZWO sometime in the future.
But yeah, it's going well now... has been cloudy literally for the past few weeks straight until clear two nights ago and tonight, maybe tomorrow night will be okay (we'll see), but after that more clouds. Not exactly normal for here at this time, but whatever. I'll make the best of it one way or another.

I've only been here about 2 months - I stayed at that previous company 5 years too long
-
I’m still looking,… but the dynamic has now changed. Not the work though… the Director is leaving so we will see how management absorbs the responsibility or finds a replacement ..
-
I'm about 6 months in, and am starting the process of looking. I underestimated how rough the commute for the 3 on-prem / 2 remote schedule would be.
-
Morning all, had early morning customer calls. I'm up and working way too early. But at least the coffee is already here.
-
How is everyone today?
-
Has been a long day. I feel like I've not been productive at all... but I did manage to get a bash backup script to work nicely on a couple of servers.
tar /var/www
tar /etc
mysqldump
send it to file server.Even better, I fixed it so that it can simply be copied to any of our servers that are setup right and can be run and all the things happen... it's like magic, lol.
So much other stuff I needed to do, but that called out to me today.
-
it's been a fairly busy day, created 3 new email accounts for customers and took on some so pretty fun calls. excited for my 3 days weekend coming up starting Sunday morning (I pulled the short straw and got weekend on-call duty Friday and Saturday overnights)
-
Coffee time and trying to wrap my brain around the day. Lots of Ubuntu updates going on as not all our machines are up to 22.10 yet.
-
Has anyone here made cold brew coffee with a vacuum funnel? Seems like it might be an interesting method.
-
Coffee and catching up on tickets from over night

No, but it sounds delicious

Just looked into vacuum brewing coffee... Definitely looks very interesting.
-
Just looked at the process.... and then went and drank a Mountain Dew..
It's an interesting process and pots appear to be from acceptable to completely out there in pricing. Of course depends on how elaborate they are. Regardless for me though - as I rather don't like coffee, It's of course not for me.

I stumbled across the idea while looking at Buchner vacuum filtering equipment (for another project). So if I made coffee also, that setup wouldn't be a unitasker. At the very least, I would be able to filter my own regular cold brew much faster. And quite a bit finer than the 150 micron screen I currently use.
