Definitely. What I didn't mention is all that took over a month!

Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we're doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an "expert" to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn't an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn't do what we were trying.

I think its more that they're worried labour voters won't bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.

That was my thought too, why's that not a thing already?

I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don't have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

Same for me. Last day i worked in an office was March 2020. Haven't done a single day since and don't intend to ever again

Cave people didn't have lead poisoning either

Several years ago I was working on water sites and they didn't even have accurate info about the stuff on their own sites. The head office staff thought they did though. Just the computers did not match reality. Running many of the sites was entirely reliant on the knowledge of site operators who were all about to retire. There was no younger staff being taught anything either.

Not really answering the question but have you ruled out medical issues? You could be describing our dog and it turned out he's got pretty bad hip dysplasia on both sides. Because both are bad he doesn't limp at all and the outward signs are really subtle but he's now on a bunch of pain killers and has gotten much better. He's also booked in for a hip replacement next month.

I've worked on SCADA systems. The most the keyboard was used for was logging in then then putting something heavy on it stop the computer going to sleep. System was entirely controlled by the mouse and head office didn't consider that 1 person might be monitoring 4-6 computers on their own for an 8 hour shift and enforced a 5 minute idle lockout on all of them.

I've been using silverbullet.md

Its more notes than wiki I guess so depends what you're after.

I use restic but I switched from Borg because of the cloud features. Outside of that, there's not a lot of differences really. If you're happy with Borg keep with it.
