     ^ You reach that stage in life where you just don't have any will or power left to fight stupidity. You know what? Forget the fight. It's about keeping my peace. There, I said it.

     @nixCraft PM: can you make an excel file with just the hits on allowed traffic through the firewall ?
     me: <insert cat grep sed magic here> <wait 5 minutes for the pipeline to execute> there are 8 millions records and they are all deduplicated. Excel is not going to work here.

     @nixCraft I agree, don't waste time and energy to explain them how dumb it is, generally, they dont have the tech level to understand. 😂

     @nixCraft

     What would be some recommendations for databases?
     I'm not in to this stuff (not using it) but just hopped off from a call where people where talking about Excel and it sounded a lot like it would be used as some sort of database.

     @nixCraft Something that is easy to see when you are a teacher is that educating others is a paid job, so you don't have any obligation to do it for free.
