One company I was at allowed me to primarily WFH as an accommodation, with the condition that I would appear in-office as needed. Worked out pretty well.

I also struggle with “out of sight, out of mind”, so having an extra monitor at my office workstation could be considered a reasonable accommodation.

Another example would be providing noise canceling headphones or a more private/secluded workspace to help you retain focus.

Keep in mind that the outcome of requesting accommodations like the above examples will largely depend on the company you work for, and the type of work you do. Some places will play ball, others might tell you to pound sand. Always worth a shot, though - imho.

Idk if it counts as crazy or unusual, per se… but, another OpenStack deployment.

Yeeahh… I’m thinking (hoping) he means an alternative LDAP/IDP, like Keycloak or Authentik…? Wanting to reduce reliance on Windows = kicking AD to the curb, too.

After about 20hrs, I couldn’t take it anymore. I popped open the console, increased my carry weight, added a bil creds, set my level to 666, and finally, tgm. Let chaos reign, baby.

I had already added a couple UI mods (because Bethesda still ships UI components at 30fps for whatever reason) and patched the achievement disablement function, so now I feel like I can actually kinda enjoy the game (when I’m not in a loading screen).

I’ve put another 20hrs in playing like this, and have zero regrets. It makes my time in the game feel arcade-like, in a good, nostalgic way. I went from being stressed out and annoyed, to relaxed and able to laugh at the endless jank that we’ve all come to expect from Bethesda. It’s like GTA back in the day… if you weren’t using cheat codes, you were straight up missing out on the fun.

All that said, overall the game does feel like Bethesda threw Fallout, Skyrim, and No Man’s Sky in a blender and then ran it all through a sieve to ensure that only the worst parts made it into the final release. I’m actually shocked by how much they seem to have outright copied elements from NMS (from UI, to gameplay mechanics, to storyline elements). I’ve got hundreds of hours in NMS spread across the last 5ish yrs, and I can’t help but feel kinda greasy when I play Starfield because of how much appears to be straught up lifted from NMS.

Ultimately, Starfield is a new(ish) experience and fun to fuck around in, but if I want to explore space, I’ll go boot up NMS.

Netbox was a total game changer for me, both at work and at home. It’s overkill for a homelab, sure, but its still an incredibly valuable tool. I highly recommend giving it a chance.

There are also a couple plugins available that will auto-generate interactive diagrams that you can tweak before exporting, which should scratch that visual itch.
