Mostly instance admins, but also some users such as @case_when@lemmy.world and @okokimup@lemmy.world due to their really good art on !artshare@lemmy.world.

Management loves to say everything is critical, but never seems to realize that when everything takes priority, nothing does.

Like others said, you did fine. Make yourself safe, report it, call security if required, but also understand that when people are under extreme duress such as the death of a loved one, they want to blame anyone and anything.

People have a really hard time coping with the fact that people often die without reason, unceremoniously, to such a degree that they feel they have been wronged by something or someone, even if there isn’t anything to blame.

When this happens they may pick something they perceive as being in proximity to the event to blame to try to make sense of it. It might be disease, the equipment, the medication, a family member, or in this case yourself.

You deal with this by knowing the facts of what happened, and knowing you did your best and aren’t to blame, and by understanding that people lash out when they are upset.

Nothing you could have said would have helped the situation with this person in their state, so saying nothing and leaving to de-escalate the situation is 100% the best thing you could have done.

1 - Ask them if they can either not drop the weights, or if the time this occurs can be adjusted to make it less of a problem. Document that you asked them somehow including date, time, what was said in the request, and how the request was sent.

2 - If nothing can be fixed through step 1 review your condo rules and verify if they are breaching them by doing what they are doing, see what fines are like for each breach of whatever rules is covered by this. If there are no rules for this, you are basically screwed and should either lobby your condo board/property manager for a change in rules or move.

3 - Set up a camera/mic and have your phone handy. Record the noise when it happens noting the date and time.

4 - Submit a complaint to the condo board/property manager every time this happens including the date and time and the recorded evidence, citing which rules are being broken. Be prepared when you start doing this that your neighbor might try to retaliate. If they retaliate by making the noise worse, do the same thing recording it and sending it up the line. If you play music really loud or whatever, they may also try to retaliate by submitting complaints about you - try to not let them catch you out on that.

Eventually, if your property management/condo rules are set up in a reasonable way they would either stop, get evicted by their landlord who is now receiving fines, or be evicted by proxy because the fines are too numerous and expensive. Repeatedly making complaints to your board/property manager usually gets them involved pretty quickly because it creates a constant nuisance they can’t easily ignore.

True enough.

If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.

Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.

Have it dim and brighten N times over the course of a few seconds to chime the hour on the hour, or have it blink a color.

Preach.

The owner of the software company I work at openly said to a room full of multiple clients that he believed that AI is a bubble and that it is going fail, but nonetheless let them know the business would be adding an optional AI feature to one aspect of the software product for those who want it, and even at that it’s not an LLM or anything, it’s intended to try to speed up the re-creation of specific types of diagrams based on an input of the original diagrams.

There is no requirement or suggestion to use AI as an employee at my company, personal preference for how each person works is generally respected and everything goes through a few layers of review regardless. All the management cares about is that the work gets done somehow.

There’s one dev who uses it for 1 or 2 things on rare occasions, no one else ever uses it.

I used to be unable to do this but took an interest in music as a hobby at some point and developed the ability to do it over time. I think it really helps to have built music from the ground up in a DAW or some such to begin to pick up on that.

Wow that’s a cool one haha.

I agree that this has been very useful for me. Initially taught it to myself when I was working in IT, and it has come in handy a lot.

I touch typed with qwerty for over 20 years before learning it, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. It’s just a matter of consistent practice.

I see, that makes sense. To try to avoid that, I have a hotkey configured that remaps my keyboards between the two layouts so that I can maintain a sense of both.

I haven’t had much of a problem switching back and forth between QWERTY and Dvorak between work and personal usage. I feel like you would have to be using Dvorak exclusively for a long time to experience that kind of problem.

For me, it seems kind of like learning to ride a bike in that just because I have learned another thing has not meant I forgot how to walk.

Practicing mindfulness through the lense of stoicism. Aurelius really had some good advice.

I’ve also been learning the dvorak layout which has been fun and better for my fingers.

Also learning a bit about how to work with docker containers as they seem super handy for self hosting and whatnot.

If you have a machine and/or the storage for it, you could deploy a docker container of linkwarden and do it yourself for a lot of things.

It says it’s for “bookmarking” but in addition to storing the outbound link, it takes backups of pages as text, html, and PDF and can do so recursively with the pages links. Nice interface, makes stuff searchable and taggable etc.

True what people are saying about no ability to roll back, but if you want to install windows 10 to the device, you used to be able to buy 1 time activation keys for stupid cheap (under $10). Then you just have to flash a USB with the windows 10 installer ISO and use the key when you get to that point.

The downside of a one time activation is that if you ever brick the OS or some such, you have to buy another key and can’t reuse the original you purchased.

Yea, in my case im not sure what the impression of me was. I am single and work full time and don’t have the money or time to cook meals for 4 people let alone the dishes and stuff for that many.

Not in my experience. I guess it might depend on the brand or affect individuals differently, but I’ve been using grocery store off-brand dish soap for this for like 10 years and never had a problem.
