    Didn’t hang up and call Amex cs using the number on the back of the card. Didn’t hang up and call Barclay’s in the same regard. Believes a number that he is given when he is called by a number that has not verified. Somehow believes that fraudulent charges on a credit card can also impact a different account, at a different bank, and that the two companies would even be in contact with one another. Moves 39k for ‘safety’. Gives the person on the phone fucking access to his debit card via a digital wallet system. Believes that uninstalling the app will make him safer.

    Holy fuck, and this man presumably prescribes medication, treatments, maybe even cuts people open? With this totally sound mind, his work record must be stellar, I bet he’s only blindly listened to patients without checking their claims a few dozen times this year, and only cut people open who didn’t need it 6 times so far since January.

    And he is so upset, so distressed and pearl-clutching, that he refuses to believe that he is a dumbfuck, and is trying to sue over it. And, and, lmfao, the poor bastard has missed two vacation in the last 6 months because of it. Awwww, you poor moron, whatever will you do? And he had to start working on Saturday. He is just scraping by, honest, and it’s not his fault he’s a dumbfuck, it’s the evil bank and their account that he gave a random person on the phone access to!

    lmfao

    E: actually, 5 months. Two vacations in 5 months. Why does someone so stupid get such luxuries?

    I’m just skimming this thread, but paragraph 2 is basically fact. I’m on my second synology box, the UI is simple and I want reliability, I don’t want shit to break because of a git push on some bullshit tool. But recently I snatched a Lenovo server and threw proxmox and Debian on it, and also got a vps.

    The synology is actually pretty capable, especially if it can do docker, and if you are willing to venture into (as a beginner) copy/pasting commands from the internet into the task scheduler as a half-assed way to get at the terminal, it can do literally everything that I want. But I’m a geek, why should I keep a stable, reliable system as my only machine? :p

    My synology does files, some docker stuff. Lenovo does a couple docker stuff, BOINC since it’s just idling most of the time, and docker for game and related hosting on my vps. Hell, this entire thing could be ‘just add a network folder, and install docker and dockge/portainer’.

    Though (paragraph 3) I tried and didn’t like TrueNAS. Maybe it’s because the synology does it already, I was just exploring, but it has that ‘foss feel’ where you have no idea what you are doing, even when you know what all the pieces do, and it just kinda is like ‘here you go, figure it out’ and leaves. I remember the UI being equally… ‘designed by a programmer’ let’s say. It might be powerful but oof, slick it ain’t.

    (not an image but)

    I would take an already-made burger, then inspect it and rip out elements of it, replace several others, add a bunch of layers of new things. It would take a few months and I would have no idea what I’m doing the whole time, but I would persist. The end result would be a delicious burger that occasionally has a missing item. Still working on why/where/how that happens. People would enjoy it, but most would not know that they can customize their burger, or the extent of the options.

    (I used to code as a hobby in VB, C#, and Java over a decade ago, almost two; this burger example is me not knowing a damn bit of Lua, as I fork and modify a game mod to have a lot more features, less confusing variables, and lots of broken commented code as I have ideas but still don’t fully grasp what I’m doing. Weeeee!)
