Turns out we die every night ¯(ツ)/¯

Ahem, Ireland would like a word…

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

I had a thinkpad for YEARS running various flavours of Debian / Ubuntu. It never had an issue with drivers and even the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box.

The battery was shot to hell, the hinge was gone, it was time to upgrade. So I bought an ideapad. There’s something funky with the audio quality on Linux and the fingerprint scanner is now a face scanner camera. Howdy is not easy to configure and I’m pretty sure I can trick it with a photo.

That’s a long way of me saying I have buyers remorse and not all Lenovos are made equal :(

If I travelled somewhere for work, and a storm rolled in. I wouldn’t expect to leave work early. I’d expect work to put me up in a hotel while the storm passed.

Have you seen the waiting lists? Much easier to throw a brick through the local mosque’s window

Immich is pretty impressive, but I have dozens of relatives who take photos and have ran out of storage on their phones. Signing them up to google photos / iCloud Photos is the only automatic way to save their photos and free up space.

You bet your ass I’m not taking responsibility for other peoples backups

Hopefully EU can turn the screws like they do in other areas and force better integration with third party backup solutions

I just don’t connect the snoopy bastard to my network 😂

Cats jumping on tinfoil are proof we’re in the simulation and the AI can still get physics wrong from time to time

I work for an MSP. I can assure you, those who believe they need excel to do their job are willing to die on that hill, and take the whole department with them

Bloody pink skins taking our jobs again.

Took me ages to realise the rug they wrapped the body in was the rug on the floor. That’s like next level effort on photoshop

I’m sure you’re taking the necessary precautions; but in case anybody reading this gets mixed ideas. Using the contraceptive pill will ONLY help prevent pregnancy. There are hundreds reasons why you should still wear a condom for sex with a new partner with unknown history. That goes for both parties!

Haven’t got my hands on it yet, but I’d be very surprised if they close that mehod

On the pro versions of windows we select “work or school” then “sign in options” and “domain join instead.

This prompts you to set up a local admin to do the domain join later.

Can’t tell if the bowls contain tokens or snacks 🤔

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll make a full backup before they do something as drastic as try to re-write the system. /s
