I had an XYZ back then. It worked overall but was frustrating to use. I also got “back” into it and bought a second hand creality ender 3 V2 in a tent. It works effortlessly every time and I was pleased. Can’t do tpu because bodum can’t do tpu but it is reliable. Then my friend bought a Bambu and another friend bought an anycubic and I was mind blown about how far they’ve come. Speed and reliability and colour change reliability. Crazy. I think the modern machines are worth the extra money.

And if you mean everyone as in everyone on Lemmy? Yes yes.

But… then I’d be compelled to concern myself with those who are getting bombed into the dirt for being born on the wrong side of a DMZ…

Yes random voice on the Internet please talk me out of my hard won respect for reliability.

Buy the 5yr warranty extension. Yes you can delay updates/make them manual. If I were you and weren’t ready to give up the fortinet I’d double NAT it for a while, I think you’ll find the benefit of using the complete ecosystem will convince you to give up the fortinet even if there are a few features that fortinet do better.

You can buy a firewall model that has the required controller built in requiring cloud connection or 2nd to that I’d setup a VM using the http://glennr.nl/ scripts as the controller. The scripts are reliable and capable.

I used to run 3rd party, like Sonicwall, firewalls with Unifi wifi for a few years but recent improvements to their approach has made me switch to the whole eco system now and I prefer it.

Yes the important server computer is Linux, and the others are something else.

Done. I’ll miss you.

Ahh, I think you’ll find it’s Dunder-McKruber.

Y’know the setting in the bios where you can choose boot on power restore, stay off or last state? This relies on a capacitor on the motherboard near the bios battery to store the last state. This 5 cent capacitor can die and sometimes behave like you are saying. I had a repair guy fix it cheap and that server worked normally after that.

I learned one morning that a cmos battery could become a resistor. It can fail in a way that it’s not working nor completely dead but passes just enough current to make a server motherboard that otherwise might A: Work, B: detect it’s dead/missing and boot anyway with defaults to instead C: just freeze and not do anything. That was a fun full day of time wasted.

You can connect a headscale derp server to a tailscale environment.

Neat!

Funny. It had me up until paragraph 5 negated paragraph 3. When you can netinst Debian and do all the things in para 5 with iceweasel without doing a single compile or chore from para 3 it’s a good reminder how far Linux has come in my lifetime. :)

You factor in that it’s SpaceX calculations. So an example could be between 10000 years or 10000 seconds.

Sounds like it would be a super fun nozzle clog situation.

Of course. Plus shampoo, toothpaste, razors and body wash would be claimable on tax. Haven’t figured out how to improve the shower coffee situation though.

Hey thanks, Steam is already an app, should we call it Ploom?

We have plenty of distraction free brain freedom. It’s the formality of the meeting. If I’m fighting to see Karen through the steam and pausing to spit toothpaste I’m less concerned about the passive aggressive way she’s telling me I didn’t submit my code on time.

Half of what I say in a zoom call isn’t worth listening to anyway.

Pfft, what no LXDE
