This doesn’t even look right stylistically for the time, let alone the subject

We wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t already answered the second question affirmatively.

I have an Optiplex that at one point I had 4 2.5" drives in, had to use some duct tape and glue, but it worked fine.

I’d sooner use Lineage than /e/

/e/ is another walled garden. Not as high-walled as Apple, but they want to be your everything.

I would suspect he’s getting relayed, and I suspect I was too for my test.

Yea, Jellyfin is far from perfect, and it’s what I use.

It’s a bit more work than it should be, like it loves to identify stuff as Asian if it doesn’t have a perfect match, sometimes with folders properly structured with year and IMDB ID.

I’m constantly having to fix metadata or even remove a specific movie, rescan, return the movie folder, rescan, and then it sees it right.

I’ve had to blow away my entire Jellyfin database multiple times this year because it just loses it’s mind and won’t properly identify something.

It’s what I use, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect, but it is an incredible value, and it doesn’t phone home or any other nonsense.

But you MUST follow the folder structure rules or it won’t know what you have.

Connecting remotely to your home devices is dependent on your home internet connection’s upload speed, which is usually a fraction of the download speed.

Then add the overhead of the VPN (Tailscale) and how direct of a connection it’s able to make.

Then the connection of the device you’re testing from - it may have some bandwidth limitations.

I just did a quick test - copy a specific file from a local server to my phone - just enabling Tailscale made that copy take twice as long, so it’s definitely adding significant bandwidth constraints (could be an Android limitation).

Haha, 500 word padding.

You did more work than the author!

I don’t even hibernate unless I’m on the move.

What am I saying, I don’t even hibernate anymore, as sleep is so much better on power than it used to be.

Like my battery would have to be below 15% for hibernate to kick in - I’ve manually set it there more as insurance that I don’t lose work in case I’ve accidentally forgotten to hit ctrl-s.

As someone who cut their teeth on DOS, then Win 3.1, saving all the time has been ingrained - you just can’t trust a system to not lose it’s mind occasionally.

Not just Windows 11 - any OS that has a hibernate feature, so all modern versions of Windows.

This isn’t a Windows thing, it’s a product of how SSD/NAND memory works/ages.

What a nothing article.

I prefer the idea of a script that changes the birth date randomly, on a random schedule.

Or to always be the bare minimum “adult” age every day.

Or always be 99

To add - by doing pulls the backup server uses different credentials to run than the credentials used to perform pulls.

Backup server has it’s own credentials database, machines being backed up have their own database. Backup service in backup server uses appropriate credentials from machine being backed up to access the data there (shares, etc). So credentials from compromised machine are unrelated to credentials for backup server.

And if backups are done properly (full on a schedule, daily incrementals, or something similar) you should be able to revert to a known-good state with minimal data loss.

Careful, this is how you get labelled a conspiracy theorist. Even though you’re right.

And nothing of value was lost (that is, VW).

Thanka for clearly being dicks, VW. One more thing on top of your cars being as bad as American cars.

So does a $3 paint pen.

It’s a shame, I like the idea of messenger choice.

The problem was I found no reason to use Session over any XMPP setup.

Of you ever feel like you can’t find the right screws or it just doesn’t hold back together well, just Goop the bastard back together.

So much stuff in my life is now Gooped together - I even Gooped some drives into a desktop that lacked enough mount points.

That stuff is magic in a tube.
