I can totally relate. I went and built a NAS then installed Proxmox on it to then create a VM for TrueNAS in which i then created a docker for Nextclound. Then I installed Arch on a different VM and used Nextcloud sync so I can have access to my files on my laptop that also runs Arch. Humblebrag over, I apologize for trying to relate to a windows user.

I once had an Excedrin get stuck in my throat sideways. That was a pretty uncomfortable several hours of my life.

So NixOS is like freebasing Arch, got it. I’m still tempted to spin up a VM, just a taste…

Lol I named my wifi this. No one gets it but me. 😢

No one could ever remove the French language pack better than Grandma.

That’s pretty interesting about the scout cars.Is there any sort of indication thats what they’re doing? I will say given Google’s track record I wouldn’t put it past them to intentionally route traffic near where their paid advertiser’s money comes from.

I think the argument boils down to the same one that created both a Senate and House of Representatives, which is does the US have allegiance to it’s citizens or it’s States.

Well how was I supposed to figure out that my docker node running on libreelec won’t connect to the swarm because the kernel was compiled with out the The Berkeley Packet Filter protocol.

Sounds interesting. I know there’s technologies like LorA and BLE that create networks on different frequencies other than what standard wifi uses. But they don’t really have a lot of bandwidth.

Are you talking about Ham radio

Gotcha, https://paulgo.io/search seems to be working if you want to try a public instance of SearxNG. I’m also a class of 2000 damn dirty millennial.

I’ve self hosted a SearxNG for about a year now. If your familiar with docker it’s pretty easy. I always forget I have it because I pay for Kagi, but I set it up so ollama could use it. It absolutely seems better than going directly to Google or Bing.

My kids are around that age and it’s a real struggle when all of their friends have one.

And now I will think of beer when ever I forget my local IP address.

Lol, you got 4 days of pre 9/11 military. Must of been glorious.

Same boat dude. That’s how I got YouTube premium. I uploaded like 500 GB of music for Google Music to host it and I could stream my own collection. Now I use Navidrome and my own server.

It’s only a matter of time until the premium users get ads. Just like Netflix, and cable TV before that. You will inevitably wind up paying to be advertised to.

I mean dd claims they can handle a quettabyte but how can we but sure.

Lol, I’ve been on that train for a decade. I just wanted to try using my own personal VPN server to torrent which kinda defeats the purpose of a VPN I guess.

So I’ve rented a server for years. It’s in the US and it’s a couple bucks a month. It’s fun to play with and I use it however I want. I’ve had an email server, a next cloud instance, and an open VPN instance to name a few things on it. Well I decided to connect a torrent client from my home to the openvpn instance on my server to see if I could do it. It worked really well until the company I rent from forwarded the DMCA hit back to me for downloading Rick and Morty. I should’ve known better but I thought a nameless faceless server farm wouldn’t be worth the hassle of a DMCA but I was wrong.

I’ve never seen this particular error, but CPU stall warnings seem like a fairly common thing. I wouldn’t jump straight to hardware fault, but it’s a possibility.
