For me, the DVR functionality is basically non-existent. Having to pay a third-party for channel programming is just lol. The UI too, it is one that a programmer thinks is peak, but any outside user sees era Windows 2000.

Those were the two killers; I know there was more but without /complete/ DVR functionality ootb, it’s doa for me.

Counter point: so it should automatically update every night when updates are available, and should have or migrate to an open standard at mfg EoL or from the factory.

It’s still the mfg fault, full stop.

I get the point

I mean I get the point you’re trying to make, but also maaaaybe don’t go that way too

I’ve been subbed to the newsletter basically since it started a year+ ago. It’s nice to get a glance at what’s new/updated, but I especially use it for the “breaking changes” info as I have setup my system to basically be hands-off, if-i-get-hit-by-a-bus-it-keeps-going, except if the docker config change. I have watchtower set to run every week, a day after the newsletter, so I’ve got time to check the email and make changes if needed.

I thought “oh, I’ll just be notified through github of new releases” and went through, setting that notification up, one by one, set to be put in a specific folder in my inbox so it’s right there, no external stuff needed… I’ve never looked at that folder, except for “holy fuck there’s a ton of mail in here” and then closing thunderbird, lol. So the newsletter is essential.

Open hb, edit the affected backup plan, change nothing, okay/save. Happens when you set up a service to be backed up and then uninstall the service.

Vista, followed by XP.

Quick deploy and poking, in order: nicer UI; supposedly compatable (sync) but I couldn’t get it working; and no idea never heard of it.

The .env for the compose file is confusing and it slowed my deployment way down, but other than that, it’s pretty painless. The variable names are… not clear. Just delete all the sso stuff unless you use it, set a secret and a db password (no special chars, nothing beyond 100 chars, in my testing/struggle; at least for the db), change the url to your fqdn otherwise it will go to localhost when you log out, and disable registration after you have done it yourself. Import/export from linkding to linkwarden (and I assume vice versa) is fine.

I’m all in, as long as the hookers are guys. And gay. And free. And furries. And hung. And kinky. And…

I’m sorry, what were we talking about?

Okay, so, how does this work? The horse bit, I mean. Does she want a horse, or was this just a gesture where the brain was off and the penis is at the wheel? Even if she wants a horse, they are kinda high maintenance. Does the horse deal come with a stable, and adjacent home? What about food and care for the duration of the horse’s life? Someone to tend to the horse while she is working? What about the taxes on the land that this sits on? Does she get the land too? Is the land going to be in a geographical area that she wants? Good access to nearby towns, power, water, sewage, municipal trash services? Good school district? Who is paying for the utilities for this land/home? Good access to emergency services? Low crime, pollution, risk of natural disasters? I could go on.

I mean there’s a lot involved when you’re being asked for a handy. Gotta make sure you get all the details!

I just moved my home assistant docker container to a new-to-me Xeon system. It also runs a couple basically idle tasks/containers, so I threw BOINC at it to put it to good use. All wrapped up with Debian 12 on proxmox…

(I needed USB support for zigbee in ha, and synology yanked driver support from dsm with the latest major version, so ‘let’s just use the new machine’…)

interesting things and not just office work

I dunno about you, but at a younger age I was definitely into, uh, “interesting things” on the computer. And games, too.

No, not at the cost of locking in customer choice and flexibility. I have soldered-on ram in my ThinkPad, but not in my Predator gaming laptop. There is a -157% chance that Lenovo was trying to extract a few percent of extra speed so that I can open Firefox 0.13 seconds faster. Perhaps they’d try to cry “but battery life!”, in which case I’d respond with “well it’s not fucking working” as that machine barely gets 2.5h on a brand-new battery, browsing the web + terminal windows doing server admin stuff. (ThinkPad X13 Gen 2, Intel, with WWAN if you’re curious. Fucking 1.5k and it’s just passable for basic usage on the go.)

I’m not really upset with this ‘new’ standard, but the fact that oems are absolutely going to use it as bullshit marketing “look, we fixed the problem! get our un-fucked ram for only $129 per stick!”. That’s what the fuck I’m pissed off about.

“they did it to save power!!! 111 one eleven”

there was perfectly fine memory that was upgradable before. They (system integrators/oems) saw it as a way to kill the upgrade market, boosting profits.
