Fair enough. Then yes compression would help, though I'd probably have done it as "mysqldump | gzip -c | ssh blahfoo ..." assuming you're just making a backup, not then restoring it on the target host.

It took me a few goes to accept that it might be someone actually being serious rather than trying to sound like an idiotic techbro instead.
If one of my engineers ever tries to do this, I will forcibly remove their work laptop from their posession.

If you ever see the 'time to leave' notification and you're not already on your way out -- just treat it as "you're late already" :D
I like that google calendar lets me say "remind me X minutes beforehand" but it's sad it can't combine that with traffic data etc.

Fortunately while work is a stressor (it always is) I'm fairly happy where I am - but 3 weeks off sounds like utter bliss. I managed two weeks and I'd say the last couple of days started to actually feel like I was relaxing. So 3 sounds like I might actually recharge a bit.

Can we please stop calling trans rights a βcontentious issueβ and making it sound as if thereβs some valid debate to be had. Gender criticals and terfs are simply transphobes with no moral, scientific or logical leg to stand on.

This so wonderfully describes how this whole shitshow has been since March last year. Even a few weeks off work doesn't help because we can't do what we might normally in order to recover. If this is you too, you have my sympathy - I know, all too well, how you feel.
Does anybody else feel like theyβre in a constant state of burnout, and that sometimes the burnout becomes milder, but you never fully come out of it? I have no idea how to recover, and thereβs never enough time and space to do so. Life is exhausting.

Do you need them to be lock-step sampled? if no, then some (cheap?) USB input devices perhaps? Assuming they're fairly cheap they'll derive their ADC clocks from the USB anyway and so be pretty close to lockstep.
The QL had a nice set of productivity tools back then. I remember doing essays in Quill. Looks like they're up online too -- dilwyn.me.uk/psions/
