[2025-02-11T02:24:11Z] <midfavila> kris_ acquire dot matrix printer
[2025-02-11T02:45:53Z] <midfavila> speaking of printed documents et al any of you ever use neatroff?
[2025-02-11T03:08:23Z] <kris_> midfavila i ended up just using normal blank printer paper
[2025-02-11T03:08:27Z] <kris_> it worked out surprisingly well
[2025-02-11T03:08:54Z] <kris_> my phones camera is shit enough that its not really noticeable 
[2025-02-11T03:08:58Z] <midfavila> lel
[2025-02-11T03:09:04Z] <midfavila> reminds me of a printout at my old job
[2025-02-11T03:09:11Z] <midfavila> i'm assuming it was the boss'
[2025-02-11T03:09:23Z] <midfavila> he took a picture of a printout, printed it out, and taped it to the wall
[2025-02-11T03:09:29Z] <midfavila> nobody has any idea why 
[2025-02-11T03:09:43Z] <midfavila> it's literally just some random note from a year or so ago lo
[2025-02-11T03:09:44Z] <midfavila> l

[2025-02-11T03:11:03Z] <kris_> it's kind of crazy how well this worked
[2025-02-11T03:11:13Z] <kris_> like all of the white you see here is printer paper covering a mirror
[2025-02-11T03:11:37Z] <kris_> meticulous placement
[2025-02-11T06:04:08Z] <sewn> meow
[2025-02-11T06:22:53Z] * midfavila gets the spray bottle
[2025-02-11T06:25:34Z] * sewn blinks slowly
[2025-02-11T06:27:05Z] * midfavila sprays sewn
[2025-02-11T06:27:26Z] <sewn> :(
[2025-02-11T08:22:47Z] <midfavila> alright i'm gonna do something stupid and ask the internet for advice on a major life decision
[2025-02-11T08:24:10Z] <midfavila> i'm thinking of going back to school since the local university offers an accelerated course load for a bachelor's in computer science over three years instead of four, and a lot of jobs here expect you to have a uni degree instead of just a college diploma, but that's also like 21000CAD and the opportunity cost of not being able to work full-time for three years, meaning less money and less work 
[2025-02-11T08:24:16Z] <midfavila> experience 
[2025-02-11T08:24:31Z] <midfavila> at the same time, for a fraction of the time and money, i could get more certificates, but i'm not sure how valuable they are on their own...
[2025-02-11T08:24:41Z] <midfavila> i'll probably talk to an admissions officer about all this
[2025-02-11T08:24:53Z] <midfavila> esp since my two-year diploma could count towards my credits. idk.
[2025-02-11T11:27:00Z] <midfavila> wow nvm lol 
[2025-02-11T11:27:14Z] <midfavila> after adding up basic living expenses and the other school expenses that works out to almost 100k over four years
[2025-02-11T11:27:47Z] <midfavila> unless i worked full time through school i would have to take out about 30k in debt accounting for grants and part-time work
[2025-02-11T11:27:51Z] <midfavila> that's bullshit
[2025-02-11T11:28:54Z] <midfavila> that's two mortgages
[2025-02-11T14:35:37Z] <sewn> maybe if you were a nicer person and didnt just hurt innocent beings
[2025-02-11T16:15:05Z] <kris_> midfavila if you can afford certs, certs are the general advice as opposed to uni in IT
[2025-02-11T16:20:57Z] <kris_> fun, openssl vulns
[2025-02-11T17:28:56Z] <kmf> How exactly do you close encryption? I added "cryptsetup close --deferred root" to the end of /lib/init/rc.shutdown, But I am unsure if that is enough.
[2025-02-11T18:02:07Z] <midfavila> sewn ur not innocent
