All this « editorial » content is so unnerving with so much shit happening in the world. It does not feel like a safe place if you doomscroll every time you browse it…
I’m ok with an article, but I much prefer it when someone accompanies it with a discussion in the body or comments.
When the migration started on early June, the content on Lemmy was mostly organic (people writing posts/requests and actual discussion).
Now, a few months later, it is mostly links to articles in mostly every instance. I wonder how many are bots flooding the human voices.
The communties I’ve come to follow are good, but not numerous.
I mean, I can narrate about the 20 Windows Server 2008 machines that I’m going to have to bump up to Server 2019. But, depending on how it all goes, I might just spoil the mood even more. :D
Please narrate lol! Your life is cool, maybe you can give a few anecdotes here and there :((( I don’t understand why people think they’re not interesting
Anecdote #1: Don’t put yourself in a position where you’ve got a bunch of servers that you have to upgrade from 2008 to 2019.
Anecdote #2: The warnings against doing in-place Windows Server upgrades can’t stop you if you don’t read them.
LOL. The second one sounds awfully familiar. Not with Windows, but I’ve had my own cases where I didn’t read before breaking. How did it work out in the end?
Going okay so far. We’ve had a lot going on this week, so I didn’t want to touch any of our critical systems for fear of adding even more shit to the plate for my coworkers. The non-critical system upgrades went smoothly. You can’t upgrade from 2008 R2 straight to 2019, so I do an intermediary upgrade to 2012 first (hooray, the Windows 8 start screen!) VMware’s mouse driver seems to break during the upgrade, and my RDP doesn’t like connecting to 2012 servers, so I have to navigate by keyboard to the file explorer to start the upgrade from 2012 to 2019. There’s probably a better way to do this, but I can’t be bothered to find it.
‘Wracking’.
Just sayin’.
In the future please don’t be dismissive. We have many non-native English speakers on the internet. Providing them feedback that they are saying something incorrectly so that they can correct themselves in the future is feedback that can be helpful, but doing so in a polite way is much nicer than a condescending one 💜
