Which genre is the song Eggcelerate?

Some sort of trip-hop most probably... with some breakbeat elements.

That you feel comfortable sharing/compiling, what are your various identities or roles in your life?

I am an engineer, a father, IT staff for the family, somewhat of a coder, house maintenance person/engineer, sowing machine operator, glue operator, pest exterminator, AC maintenance staff for the household, chef... 🤔... I probably missed a few.

Have you ever lived next to a neighbor who always had an interesting soundtrack or audio that you could always hear and actually appreciated have them as an free input source nearby?

Wow, quite a story...

Have a a lot similar ones, also related to music, but I was already into Psytrance, so they're all related to Psytrance, lol 😁. It was sort of like the vibe back then, everyone found out things on their own, either through digging around or stumbling intentionally or unintentionally.

It takes a pot of practice, but it is doable.

TTT... no matter how much we don't like to admit it.

Yeah, they tried that a few times, the software would glitch and Windows would either BSOD or just freeze (had something to do with how their HASP dongle license communicated with the software and the drivers it used, nothing to do with our issue whatsoever, lol). In the end, they had to come down and debug the issue on a separate rig and install. We just couldn't have those interruptions in production.

Yep, I know the face... made it a few times with colleagues that don't know basic Windows scripting, but somehow got bonuses... but I don't kiss upper management ass, so I never do. That's life I guess...

Me too, but apparently, that wasn't the case.

My reasoning was, they'd have to send someone over to do tests and build the project on site, install and test, since we couldn't give any of those NASes to them for them to work on the problem, and they'd rather not do that, since it's a lot more work and it's time consuming.

Exactly what a dev would say... you guys don't have to deal with that 3rd gen i3 Jenny from accounting is running.

Agreed. I have colleagues that I write scripts for (I don't do that any more, I stopped and shit stopped working, so they solve things manually now), they don't know shit about scripting... and still don't.

On the other hand, I've had the pleasure of working with a dev that was just this very positive, very friendly person and was also very knowledgeable when it came to hardware, so we were on the same page most of the time. He also accepted most of my code changes and the ones that he didn't, gave him an idea of how to solve it more efficiently. We were a great team to be honest. We're still friends. Don't see him as frequently, but we keep in touch.

Well, at least you admit it, not everyone does.

I do agree that they're out of date, but that wasn't their point, their software somehow doesn't like the NASes, so they had to look into where the problem was. But, their first thought was "let's tell them they're no good and tell them which ones to buy so we wouldn't have to look at the code".

Yep, unrealistic expectations.

Or "you need a 12th gen i7 to run this thing"... the thing is a glorified Avidemux.

MiUI is not that bad IMO. The ad services and the integrated apps are horrible (even without the ads), but apart from that, the UI is fairly usable. They really haven't changed that much from what Android comes with by default.

Simple example, our NASes are EMC2. The devs over at the company that does the software say they're garbage, we should change them.

Mind you, these things have been running for 10 years straight 24/7, under load most of the time, and we've only swapped like 2 drives, total... but no, they're garbage 🤦....
