Linkwarden user here. Can confirm - it’s a great tool to dump links for later. I’ve setup an iOS shortcut that lets me share links directly to linkwarden. Super handy

I’ve tapped out of tipping culture for multiple reasons.

1. I don’t tip at fast food joints because all you did was the bare minimum. Tipping is supposed to be rewarding for extra service. All you did was take my order and ask if I wanted fries with that.
2. Prices are going up, so more of the amount I would have expected to pay is going to the base meal. For regular food, I try to tip so the final price is around $15 or $20. I don’t want to pay $30 for a burger and fries
3. I’ve seen what tipping culture looks like when it gets out of hand. Go to the Hotel Zone in Mexico, and you’ll see what I mean. Nothing is genuine, everything is about milking the tourists. I was pretty disappointed by the end of the trip. Would not recommend.
4. The base % is going up to try and milk customers, so I’m putting in the effort to counter that bullshit by picking no tip.
5. Sometimes the tip doesn’t even go to the workers; Sometimes it goes to the owner. How can I tell?

Edit: I should add that there are times when I do tip, and it’s when good service beyond base expectations was provided. Like if I asked for recommendations and it wasn’t just the most expensive item on the menu, they were pretty prompt about taking my order, and/or it’s busy / during holiday season

To reiterate other points in the thread: they used to be pretty good and Canadian.

But in 2014, they were bought out by Burger King and the quality absolutely plummeted. Their coffee supplier went to McDonalds, and all the baked goods are now frozen rather than fresh; making them stale

They’ve cut enough corners that the brand is now associated with low tier trash. But because they used to be Canadian, and still try to market themselves as Canadian, it’s become offensive. This is not what Canadians want to associate themselves with anymore

Before it was bought by Burger King in 2014

I was thinking OP could give everyone their own VM to use as a workstation so they could access the files on the server easily, and/or run programs based on their work. When their coworkers leave, OP can easily destroy the VM and the resources would be automatically reallocated (depending on the servers configuration). With a physical device, the storage on that device is only allocated to that device and can’t be shared when it’s not in use

Me, personally? I have multiple VMs for different contexts: my teaching job (super clean, video sharing tools, presentation tools), gaming, media server (has scripts to download stuff off of YouTube), server management (just a regular Debian install), and a fuck around box (I just use it to try new OSs like Fedora, or try breaking OSs like deleting the system32 folder on windows)

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re asking for, but I’d recommend also looking into a VM OS such as proxmox or unraid (I’m running unraid)

They’ll let you create/destroy VM instances you can access remotely. So in theory, you can give everyone their own VM to use and access the files on the server.

However, unraid / proxmox may have performance issues running in a VM on a Mac mini…

This is why I’m not going to buy RAM / Dodge / Chrysler/ Jeep / anything Stellantis owns, and this is why I’m not buying any new car with “smart” / “built-in” junk.

I don’t know of any car that has an actually good head unit. Its either garbage because its a giant touch screen, making it super difficult to navigate without looking (that’s why all the controls in an airplane are different shapes and sizes), or its just a hub for you to run Android Auto / apples equivalent.
