  • No, there’s a longstanding pattern to solve the group issue.

    1. Add users that need write perms to the same group (create a new group if it makes sense to do so)
    2. Set the directory’s group to that group
    3. Set the directory perms to group writable
    4. Set the SGID bit for the directory (chmod g+s for existing dirs, but you can set the umask so new dirs get it too)

    1-3 ensures everyone that needs to write can, and 4 will make any file created in that dir inherit the group from the dir instead of the creating user. So future files will still be writable due to group write perms.



  • In no particular order:

    • Kerbal Space Program
    • Factorio
    • Rimworld
    • Valheim
    • Minecraft (Java)
    • Ark SE

    Those are my main games and easy for me to pick.

    The last 4 slots are tougher. They’re likely to change the longer I think about it.

    • Some version of Civilization. I’m not sure which I’d prefer.
    • Something technical. Shenzen IO, Human Resource Machine, MHRD, etc
    • EverQuest. If a live service MMO isn’t allowed, I could arguably run a private, emulated server using the EQ emu project.
    • If I can pick a sold-as-one collection that I bought years ago but is no longer available for purchase, it would probably be a collection of Infocom text adventure games.









  • It works except when it doesn’t.

    Our previous cats (who have all crossed the rainbow bridge) were happy to use scratching posts.

    Our current cats are a different story. We’ve tried scratching posts with various coverings, including cardboard, jute, and carpet, and even uncovered, bare wood. They all prefer one particular chair, and occasionally the wood trim on one corner of the kitchen.

  • I think it’s normal.

    I made a similar move a few years ago, from 10+ years at the old job. There were red flags that came up a couple months in, but I decided to stick it out.

    It took me over a year to really feel like it was the right decision. But the red flags faded as it turned out there were just some growing pains going on. Leadership managed to resolve the major issues and I’ve turned out to be pretty happy in the new position.

    I’m not saying the same will be true for you… Some red flags signal issues that are correctable, but others signal toxicity or other things that are unlikely to be fixed.

    But IMHO, 3 weeks seems like a short time unless the issues are really egregious.

    Also consider that if you go back to your old job, your old boss may treat you worse than previously.

    If you don’t like the new job and don’t want to give it more time, consider starting to look for something new immediately (you were headhunted, so your skills are obviously desirable) and continuing to move forward rather than going back.
