Each month would be named after one of Elon Musk’s children, but the names would be randomized every year (any future children are added to the rotation). Eventually this becomes impossible to keep up with and we just end up using numbers anyway, which is fine with me.
That is helpful, thank you! I will look into the master server option. I can spin up Docker containers on the NAS.
I also use KeepassXC, and it’s great. I’m interested in setting up Syncthing between my Android, Linux desktop, and NAS. Do you have any tips or articles/resources that you used to set it up?
My employer leases our computers for 3-5 years. I get a new model when my lease runs out. I don’t really mind the guaranteed refresh except having to move all my stuff over. I would be way more pissed if they moved to BYOD.
I love it, but it does not work for everyone
I have my own separate office in my basement with plenty of privacy. I stick to a normal work schedule. And perhaps often overlooked: my team is all remote as well.
The last point is important: if your team is both on and off site, it can be difficult to make sure everyone is included in all the casual information sharing. My team uses a shared Teams chat as a low friction water cooler, which works great for us.
We often jump on a voice call with screen sharing too work together. It works even better than in person because we can both have our own computers instead of one person looking over the other person’s shoulder.
If you have a good manager, they may be able to mitigate this, but it’s more difficult than it sounds. If not handled correctly, this can lead to team segmentation and isolation. Working hybrid can sometimes get around this while still being flexible enough that people can wfh when they need to. For any business it needs to be the decision of the direct managers so they can decide what is right for their team.
That all said, I love not having the 1.5hr commute anymore, no walk-in interruptions, being able to run errands or go to appointments without taking the whole day off etc. It’s a major part of my job satisfaction.
If your commute is reasonable and you get satisfaction from going to the office then maybe you’re happier on site or hybrid. Full time wfh can be lonely at times.
If you hate going in to the office, make sure your environment at home is set up so you can focus and work as effectively as at the office and give it a shot. Talk to your manager. You may need to convince them it’s a good idea first.

They’re an old band now, but Raga Rockers (Norwegian). Also Dum Dum Boys from same era.
Great question! Looking forward to checking back in here for suggestions later.
