Shut up borkdude, we just had a meetup

Kevin14:02:27

Please don't bully him

borkdude14:02:43

Here's something to satisfy your meetup hunger meanwhile

Mno16:02:08

Just had a 5 hour onboarding!

borkdude16:02:00

wow! anything you want to share with us?

Mno16:02:15

My mind is mush, but I have a pretty decent idea of what I need to do which is nice.

Mno16:02:44

Oh I don’t know how much I mentioned here: became a freelancer because I got an offer for a job doing clojure 🎉

It’s been a stressful couple of weeks, but I hope it’s worth it.

Pro-tip: Don’t try to install nvidia drivers on linux distros for laptop 30XX cards.

Kevin16:02:54

Congrats!

Kevin16:02:23

Nvidia on Linux has always been difficult

Kevin16:02:46

Pop_OS! provides built-in support for Nvidia, no idea if that could help you

Mno16:02:11

Pop!_OS was the second one I tried, they have 2 iso options for their releases: With drivers (wouldn’t even boot live usb) and without (seems to work, haven’t installed it yet)

Mno16:02:42

2 days of suffering to figure this out 😅

borkdude16:02:28

And on the 3rd day: Windows Pro with WSL2 ;)

Mno16:02:12

I actually tried that as well, along with a VM installation, but since I might need to use a VPN I was kinda worried about both, they both installed fine.

Mno16:02:08

WSL2 super simple, but I wanted GUI emacs, and I didn’t want to go through the trouble of running XsrvCx or whatever that’s called.

Mno17:02:07

VM worked flawlessly as far as I got… soo… I might use that if I can’t get nouveau drivers to work easily with my 30xx card

borkdude17:02:42

Makes sense

Mno17:02:42

Anyway Thanks for the congrats! Hopefully I can keep my job for a good long while.

borkdude17:02:24

I hope so too!

I just finished an installation of manjaro on my new thinkpad. I had some issues with the AMD gpu drivers a well ;)

gklijs17:02:04

Congrats @hobosarefriends, I'm still not convinced programming language should say much about the joy of working. Having said that, 'returning' to work after a week does make me sad. But it's more the organisation than it is the programming language..

borkdude17:02:08

@gklijs Where do you work again?

gklijs17:02:08

Currently for the National Police, which is a bureaucratic mess (but employed at Open Web).

Mno18:02:14

Beaurocracy can be very painful to deal with for 8 hours a day

borkdude19:02:37

@gklijs I think I heard a podcast with the founder of Open Web on http://airhacks.fm

gklijs19:02:39

I think you're confusing Open Value (Bert Jan Schrijver) with Open Web. Companies are quite similar.

borkdude19:02:57

aaah yeah, sorry :)
