@mian you's, of course, is just the possessive singular form of you. For example "Can I borrow you's phone for a minute".

On the other hand yous is the plural non-possessive form such as "Wow I see a lot of people turned up, yous people are awesome"

Finally yous' is the possessive plural form of you, as in "I want everyone to take out yous' phone and hold it up"

@KolokokoBird Please dont turn into that obnoxious person who warps everything into something good. Just be realistic, if something sucks, recognize it and fix it. If something is great, praise it and replicate it. We dont need cheery fake-happy people all the time, it makes the world an annoying and miserable place.

The magic of dogs isnt that they act happy all the time, its that they are completely transparent with their emotions, when they love you or a thing they wont hold back and show it, when they hate a thing they will let you know its the worst day of their life too.

How to know when to use you're vs your:

you're - Use this whenever you want to sound fancy or sophisticated. Much like using résumé instead of resume.

your - Use this one if your an unsophisticated simpleton who doesn't care what anyone thinks of you.

As long as there is an engineer sitting at the ready watching the automated update and ready to jump in should it break then yea, I see no problem.

But if thats the case then why schedule the update to happen automatically at all. If someone is already required to be present and alert at the time why not just have them push the buttom that starts the update just so the system verifies a human is present for the process. Almost like a deadman's switch.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn cron is a great tool but really doesnt fill the niche int he examples I gave. The issue with using cron is that if your doing system updates or certificate renewals or anything system critical then if it fails your system may go down until you respond to it. For this reason it shouldnt ever be used on anything mission critical like the aforementioned examples. Doing it by hand means you can fix it quickly (hopefully) when it fails with minimal downtime.

Now something like a backup that wont break things if it fails, yea by all means stick that on a cron job.

@SneedsterSpeedster

Very true, to each their own.

I am probably bias as I think Kheira Knightly is pretty sexy.. then again penolope cruz is a nice second-place sexy to. Hell even in the last movie in the series which I thought was awful, Kaya is beyond hot and a decent actress too... so maybe that had less to do with it than I speculate, I dunno.

All I can say is by the last movie I was looking more at the cleavage than anything else.

@SneedsterSpeedster

I just finished watching the whole series over the last few weeks during my TV time. They got progressively worse. The first two were good, after that it falls off a cliff. The last one int he series was so poorly written with historical inaccuracies that it was cringe worthy.

@PonyPanda

@PonyPanda I cant understand a word of this but I can still tell it is perfect :)

@tripu When you tell jokes like these boos are effectively indistinguishable from applause :) So thank you :)

I tend to keep a lot of reminders about system/network maintance I need to do. Things that are every few weeks or months like updating the system or renewing certs.

Sometimes I find that there is a bit of a mental hurdle to do a task when it comes in. Even though its not much it can feel daunting when you dont remember the exact steps and need to pull up a how-to again or remember where you stored your notes, if you even have any.

So what im doing now is when i create a reminder I actually copy and paste the step-by step instructions from the documentation into the comments itself. So when the reminder comes in I literally just copy and paste them into a terminal, hit enter, and im done.

I also add the links to the documentation and my personal notes in the reminder itself. That way if something doesnt go as planed I dont need to start digging around for the complete instructions, its all right there for me.

This has cut down my procrastination significantly. Instead of waiting a day or two and maybe forgetting to do the task at all I now have it over and done with after like 5 minutes max from seeing the alert.

Has anyone seen that documentary about the economics of pie manufacturing in the Caribbean? I am not sure if its worth watching or not but but it keeps popping up for me on Netflix. It is called The Pie Rates of the Caribbean. It must be good because they even did a few sequels.

Happy to help. You can repay me by enjoying yourself here :)

@QOTO

@nyquildotorg I just put a strip of masking tape in the middle of my monitor so I can use it to hide my mouse pointer when I dont want to see it.

In all seriousness this person is a little dim witted considering you can already hide the mouse pointer by just moving it to the extreme right of the screen where it falls of the edge by a few pixles.

Just paid for another year upfront for the #QOTO servers. Cost me about $1,500 and there are still some monthly fees added to that... QOTO aint cheap :)

#mastoadmin @QOTO

@louisrcouture thats the plan, to head out on a SCUBA trip for a few months in the very near future. I just tied up my last loose end today.
