@movq Oh wow! Better not mess up with that responsibility. :-)
@movq @prologic Hahaha, thanks for sharing, @bender! :-D

> IBM has realized it's cheaper to buy Hashicorp than to buy Vault licenses
@movq Yeah, things like that can really make one ill.
[47°09′32″S, 126°43′40″W] Dosimeter overflow
@movq I can't think of a single one. Pretty lucky so far.

@bender Holy cow, congrats on that title. I do have plugged in the more important equipment in a power strip with surge protection. The weird thing was, that only one of the monitors went black for a second. The other one (both are behind surge protection) remained operational the entire time. Maybe EMP? It was closer to the window than the other one.
I don’t know why or how, but using gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has the desired effect (now?). Reading GTK’s source code is too convoluted to find out what’s going on here. I can’t find a corresponding Wayland protocol.

Sway gets *very* slow when resizing such a window, so I’m a bit inclined to think that GTK does some weird trickery to get this to work. 🤔

Either way, xiate now sets geometry hints again and floating windows have the correct size now. Finally.

@mckinley I'm not sure to be honest I think it's just a straight up duplicate post. This _actually_ does happen, it's not a bug, it's a "human problem", but yeah it's annoying, so it's making me want to figure out a way of keeping some kind of similarity db to strip duplicates out like this.

@lyse it seems you don’t have a decent UPS with surge protection. Invest in one! We have one everywhere there is a constantly-used valuable appliance in the house, including refrigerator.
@lyse Oh my god, that sounds just as awful. Yes, that really makes you want to quit. Such a waste of time and energy. It’s really dangerous for one’s mental health as well, burnout is lurking just around the corner.

No, it’s not IBM. 😅 I won’t say what it is. 🥴 I don’t think I had contact with any (contemporary) IBM software since around 2010. I love toying around with retro IBM stuff (cause that’s what I grew up with), but really no idea what they’re up to these days. Even the IBM building in our city is long gone.

After a nearby lightning strike one of my screens turned off for a second. That was the signal to call it quits today.
@movq Such piece of shit software makes me want to quit. Esp. if it is just for useless compliance garbage that never helped anybody accomplishing any real improvement. Is it from IBM? We once had to build a threat model with some terrible generator and my goodness, you can't believe what a myriad of hopelessly useless, wrong entries it produced. Thousands of thousands of lines. At least it was markdown. We basically removed like 99% of its output after reading through every single item. Did this once and refused to touch it ever since. All hand-written now and actually helpful.
Thank you very much, everyone!

One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done *manually*.

Even Word 97 could do shit like that …

I am supposed to come to office today, but I have caught the same cold bug wife has had for the last three days, so I am staying remote to spare cube-mates. Nose stuck, dripping, and a general slight sense of malaise is what I am feeling right now.
@movq we had one of those at the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was sent home. It truly was painful. Now we are having another university to evaluate our processes, and procedures; not much security based, but still a pain.
@prologic that would only be logical! :-)
