YT Our Self Reliant Life.

Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.

I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.

So, since this is related to your course and a required part of assignments, get things in writing,

1. Let the Dorm and ISP know that you need an exception due to coursework.

2. It might be in your best interest to temporarily invest in your own internet,I think 5G might have low enough latency to manage the connection.

If all this is for one semester until you move back ? Just get a cheap mini-PC install pfSense or any other firewall/router software to isolate all your devices and Wifi router from the rest of the network. I believe some people have mentioned MAC-spoofing and TTL-reset as ways to bypass detection. And if anyone asks, you can show your written communications and your course requirements.

Always be on the safe side when it comes to dealing with academics and private orgs.

There might be a Dept Counselor or Rep you can discuss about your requirements. Even professors can help with some of these kind of things.

University is your life choice. If your life hobbies are impacting your choice to attend your chosen university, you still are a responsible adult.

Have hobbies, but don’t deny your responsibilities for making your own choices in your own life.

It sucks if the University you chose forced such rules on students and included dorm as part of the tuition expenses. I cant imagine people taking on student debt with such high tuition+boarding. I guess anyone accepting at that local University is forced into this situation.

“schools” ? This is university. Quite surprising to hear that Universities would have a policy “freshmen MUST live on campus”. Must be some kind of extreme private boarding “school”. I feel bad for you if you went to such a Uni.

Yes but dorms are optional. No one attending Uni is forced to live in the dorms. Uni is not a boarding school at least to my knowledge.

Mighty unpopular opinion here.

OP you are there at the Uni to learn to grow and pass the course+exams. If you need to do extracurricular activities, please setup time at home, travel home to do those things.

If home is faraway and you still want to do it, find a reliable off-campus-non-dorm location and do your stuff from there.

Your main objective is to get through Uni without falling behind and managing your time and effort wisely. If you fail Uni because you focused too much on non-essential activities, be a responsible adult and accept the results of your adult decisions.

Edit: I never said that OP shouldn’t do non-Uni activities. Just that time+effort has to be MANAGED between the two. Life isnt fair and life doesnt give two shits if you fuck up. That is what being an adult means.

Edit2: I can see people commenting on Universities imposing mandatory dorm fees. Do you people not choose which university to apply and get accepted? Did you not think…“this uni is very strict, or this uni has a lot of on-campus resources, or this uni has great course-materials, etc etc” … and it would also include “this uni dorm is optional/mandatory and I can live there cheap or live outside expensive or it is bum-ducking nowhere but fields/forests/wilderness” … you did choose that uni to attend and paid up ?

Since the price mentions British Pound Sterling as currency I dont think Verizon would be there. But T-Mobile is probably there in the UK.

A lot of Unis have IT on a shoestring budget.Especially the CompSci dept have the most idiotic IT “professionals” working there.

Usually it is the Sciences dept like Mech-E or Tech-E or Elec-E who run massive Compute nodes for Rendering Physics or Fluid dynamics or something something research …

Unfortunately, the Unis that have massive student dorms on-campus tend not to isolate their networks properly and allow students to directly connect to all depts Networks without any barriers. The isolation happens between LAN and Internet which is where most of the controls and filtering happens.

It would be nice if each dept had their own VPN servers and proper network isolation at the LAN instead of the crazy monkey wiring everything to everything else on-campus.

The social pressure and societal loss of face is very bad in Japan. There has to be a better way.

I think we have to have some context here.

Japan has I believe something called “tenured work position”.

It is literally a guaranteed job for life. The company can’t fire you and usually you will get paid till your retirement whether you work the job decently in your life.

I believe the term is Seisha-In ( https://japan-dev.com/blog/seishain )

In table-tennis / pingpong,

Equipment Junkies.

It is both an insult as well as an addiction/habit.

Amateur and Pro TT players usually have trained from childhood as early as 3 years old tend to have an almost god-like superior ability to learn and relearn in the sport at any age.

But most folks get into TT at an older age around their late-20s.

TT reflexes cannot be gained at the later stages of life. Almost a miracle for an older player to “git gud”.

Hence, you will find the older players have the income to buy equipment used by the Top-10 players in the world. Hence “Equipment Junkie”.

The number of permutations and combinations in TT equipment is crazy for such a “simple” looking sport.

Real problem is when you buy all this expensive stuff and your game gets WORSE not better. You “lend” your equipment to other players and all of them seem to play better than you with your own equipment.

So you spent a lot of money, and don’t want to let anyone touch your equipment ( because it would be embarrassing for them to become “better” players using your stuff while you wallow in misery of not benefitting from your own purchases ).

So EJs tend to have a extremely absurd amount of equipment that they have spent exorbitant prices purchasing and do not want to sell it to others ( again for fear their purchase is fuelling other peoples abilities at their own expense ) but they keep buying the next “Top-10” world TT players latest equipment without even understanding the sport.

It is an endless cycle which continues as more new blood is added to the mix and more EJs end caught up in the craze.

Despite the name, it is rare for the forces to completely balance, and real-world recoilless rifles do recoil noticeably (with varying degrees of severity).

A Vespa cannot take that kind of forces and survive.

That vespa and that cannon do not look survivable if para-dropped. Also an artillery cannon with no-recoil ? How would that even work on a Two-wheeler like a scooter ? Im pretty sure you would have to dismount and re-assemble the cannon on solid ground.

Sony Support SUX.

When you go to Samsung or Moto/Lenovo support, they would give you a loaner phone when yours was in for repairs. Repair centers accepted wherever they were located.

Sony would tell a 1500USD phone customer to F*CK OFF if they asked for a loaner phone during repairs. You have to go to the Sony Mobile repair center to get any kind of help. There are tons of dealers and TV / audio / other Sony repair and none of those have any kind words or help for customers.

Sony Support is DOGSHIT GARBAGE.

Evangelists exist in all communities. I was simply stating that people whose agenda to convert you to Linux may not always have other peoples best interests at heart. Clearly I don’t have that agenda. I would prefer people made their own decisions and choices based on their own needs. Not forced into an untenable situation.

I like how upvote/downvote does not matter on Lemmy.

Its about free speech as in beer. And not censorship. We can have our opinions without fear of being the unpopular opinion.

How about instead of elastic customers moved to Redis or Postgres ?

Does the pricing/licensing suddenly change ? Hmm ?

4-chan greentext almost is ALWAYS trolls and things-that-never-happened.

The story is all kinds of weird shit. I do not want to know what the actual story is anyways.

Even after using CPAN ? I found Perl to be much more “manageable” than Python.

Python with Venv and Pip at least works as expected. Which makes it easier.
