  1. Dneska jsem chtěl trochu zabrouzdat do historie mé konverzace s vedoucím Bakalářky, kterou jsme vedli v Microsoft Teams, jakožto oficiálním školním kanálu.

    Bohužel tím že jsem s dokončením balkánského studia studium ukončil mi škola účet v Teams zrušila. Takže konverzace s ním, jinými vyučujícími a spolužáky, na které to byla často i jediná komunikační metoda, už asi nikdy nuvidím. Fakt super...

    Tak jen pro ostatní, abyste si své školní/pracovní či jiné účty v Teams a podobných platformách nějakým způsobem zálohovali. Je to taková nedozírná nevhoda přechodu z klasického e-mailu na proprietární organizací ovládané komunikátory. Mě to nenapadlo. 🤷

  2. @searls Change all of your phone numbers in Contacts to include the +Country Code -- no ambiguity, and safer for when you travel.

  3. just wasted ~2 hours trying to connect using only find out needs a slightly different update-resolv-conf script than your typical distro ... it's always freaking dns!

  4. Do put 20 tablets of pseudoephedrine in your first aid kit, because in some countries it is prescription only, and those 5 are only enough for 36 hours 😩

  5. Before booking accommodation make sure you actually have a connection to that city on that day. Especially if it's a holiday.

  6. Gauge swatch pro tip: if your piece is knit in the round, best to do a gauge swatch in the round if size really matters.

    For example, if you have a motif that has a pattern row on round one and a knit row on round two, it's tempting to swatch flat, converting that to pattern row/purl row.

    But if your knits and purls have a different tension (and they probably do) then your gauge swatch won't represent the final piece.

  7. Have a photo of your passport in the cloud so that they let you into your paid hotel room if your passport gets stolen. Have 2 spare passport format photos in a separate bag (mine are in my first aid kit) so that you don't have to hike up-the-hill down-the-hill searching for a photo studio that charges €25 for 4 shitty photos. #travel #LearnedTheHardWay

  8. @dressupgeekout FWIW, if you use LE certs for your mail-server, you need to also restart both your SMTP server and your IMAP/POP server. :flan_aw:

  9. Many companies I have worked with over the years were so in love with their companies and products that they rarely focused on their users. Be more in love with your users than with your products and services. Users ultimately purchase your offerings. So tend to their needs. Just sayin’ #learnedthehardway #marketing #business
