ADHD as a kid, only treated for a few months.

Got kicked out and shuffled around in my early teens, spiraled until I was in my early 20's.

Military until I couldn't take it anymore, I think the 24/7 activity and walking a narrow line helped the ADHD but got tired of getting threatened with jail for being forced to do things that were not legal.

Forced myself out of the military (long story but they let me do it because my 1SG was the cause of the above statement and he was force retired immediately after I got out) lived overseas for a while, watched as my home (the states) slowly started going crazy, started spiraling again and dreading moving back, moved back to the states cause I couldn't make it work anymore, visa ran out and I didn't have the energy to try to figure it out.

Two weeks after moving back, got a job (somehow), got therapy through the VA and am now properly treating my issues. Constantly dreading the near future even moreso with clarity now. Yay.

That's the short version lol.

They are probably just trying to keep consistency between an AD instance and Exchange or something like that. Or just laziness.

When we generate new user accounts we run a script that generates an email (so we don't have to manually do it). It gets generated with the username of the individual which in our case would be first initial, last name. Then another alias gets generates to [email protected] and is set as primary. While the [email protected] is left as an alias, but would still technically work if you emailed it.

If a username already exists we will use the first and second letter of the first name and then the last name, etc.

In the above I mentioned consistency and laziness, but there is also another side, and that is your user base. If you are servicing hundreds of thousands of people or just a ton in general, consistency is very much preferred. Try having to explain to an end user that their login is simply "username" for their computer, but their email is "[email protected]" oh and let's go ahead and loop in Azure SSO so now their software license login and login for all these other portals is "[email protected]".

You end up with a mass of confusion. Sometimes simplicity is best when it's possible.

Sure, please do!

FML lol. I'm still recovering from the flu.

Will update title shortly.

Thank you for pointing that out.

That is a much better though than I had.

I was over here like, wtf, did you just defile that grub by shoving a bullet in it's butt, uhhh head? I know nothing about grubs lol.

Glad to know it's not that.

How is immich by the way?

Been considering trying it out.

Don't trust remote servers with data that you find precious.

Multiple on site backups. The investment might be a little steep at first depending on what or how much you have, but in the long term it's worth it.

So, printing a solid object with more steps.

That uhh, dead chicken on the ground there seems to say otherwise lol.

This sounds very much like an attempt to generate traffic outside of their system so they can use it as a defense against a potential lawsuit for having a monopoly.

"See, we aren't a monopoly, we push users to external platforms to purchase goods directly from other businesses."

Not saying that's what it is but it would make sense.

All four sites are already back up.

Doesn't mean they won't go back down, but I really hope these fuckwits going absolutely batshit rings some bells so damn loud that people finally wake the fuck up and throw their asses in prison.

Doubt it, but one can hope.

Edit: changed three to four

Lol
