  • I mostly work from home, and the schedule is pretty forgiving, plus lunch is the only time I have the house and the kitchen to myself. Today I had lightly dry brined wagyu ribeye/entrecote, and sautéed mushrooms for lunch, paired with a nice beer. Tomorrow it’s going to be Stilton cheese, peach marmalade, and crackers.

    When lunch comes around I’ve usually cleared out the inbox sludge for the day, as well as checking up on the stuff for which I am responsible just to make sure everything is working as it should. If it is, then I can take my time to do things properly, as long as I’m available in case someone else’s fan hits my shit.




  • I rolled my own, as I grew frustrated with catbox limitations of filetypes and sizes. Mine looks like shit, but it works and its purpose is for embedding/linking, so it doesn’t matter.

    Mine is more geared towards “publishing” in that users (I don’t want to deal with the headache that is anonymous uploads) have a control panel displaying all their uploaded files and then choose what should be available to the public, and whether it will also be available via bittorrent.

    Next up is setting up the signup system so users can actually be added without me running a shell script. I’ve been meaning to implement a sort of sign-up-via-lemmy feature, in that if you’re a lemmy user without trash reputation, you can use an OTP to upload files associated with your username@instance instead.

    It’s not production ready yet, but it works well enough for testing. Most of what I’ve posted/embedded for the past half a year has been from my own host.






  • Mostly WFH with “when I’m needed” as my schedule. Very flexible, and pretty chill. In the morning I usually catch up on my inbox, check that everything is running as it should. Then a few phonecalls. I usually have another hour in the evening to catch up with coworkers in different timezones.
    When I’m doing field work it’s usually 10-12 hours days, weekends included.

    I got promoted to this position after doing 12 hour shifts offshore, five weeks on, five weeks off, for ages.
