02:24 <midfavila> kris_ acquire dot matrix printer

02:45 <midfavila> speaking of printed documents et al any of you ever use neatroff?

03:08 <kris_> midfavila i ended up just using normal blank printer paper

03:08 <kris_> it worked out surprisingly well

03:08 <kris_> my phones camera is shit enough that its not really noticeable

03:08 <midfavila> lel

03:09 <midfavila> reminds me of a printout at my old job

03:09 <midfavila> i'm assuming it was the boss'

03:09 <midfavila> he took a picture of a printout, printed it out, and taped it to the wall

03:09 <midfavila> nobody has any idea why

03:09 <midfavila> it's literally just some random note from a year or so ago lo

03:09 <midfavila> l

03:10 <kris_> https://share.boba.best/6syMWACn

03:11 <kris_> it's kind of crazy how well this worked

03:11 <kris_> like all of the white you see here is printer paper covering a mirror

03:11 <kris_> meticulous placement

06:04 <sewn> meow

06:27 <sewn> :(

08:22 <midfavila> alright i'm gonna do something stupid and ask the internet for advice on a major life decision

08:24 <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

08:24 <midfavila> experience

08:24 <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...

08:24 <midfavila> i'll probably talk to an admissions officer about all this

08:24 <midfavila> esp since my two-year diploma could count towards my credits. idk.

11:27 <midfavila> wow nvm lol

11:27 <midfavila> after adding up basic living expenses and the other school expenses that works out to almost 100k over four years

11:27 <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

11:27 <midfavila> that's bullshit

11:28 <midfavila> that's two mortgages

14:35 <sewn> maybe if you were a nicer person and didnt just hurt innocent beings

16:15 <kris_> midfavila if you can afford certs, certs are the general advice as opposed to uni in IT

16:20 <kris_> fun, openssl vulns

17:28 <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.

18:02 <midfavila> sewn ur not innocent

18:02 <midfavila> pls

18:02 <midfavila> kris_ yeah so i hear

18:02 <midfavila> ALSO

20:09 <midfavila> nobody else at the shop knows how to work with techshit

20:10 <midfavila> so theyre bringing me back

20:10 <midfavila> they need someone to stay in the building too bc retail stuff

20:13 <kris_> that's nice

20:14 <kris_> so ig you're set for a bit lol

20:14 <kris_> idk personally if i had the money to buy a bunch of certs that

20:14 <kris_> that's what i'd do instead of going back to uni*
