  • Exactly that. Tech enthusiests will have smart everything, their fridge will tell them when the milk goes bad. Tech workers know where the IoT data goes, if they have smart things, they built them themselves... Except the printer, but there is a loaded gun kept next to it, just incase it makes a noise they dont recognize.

  • I saw that clip... Its normal current-level unhinged. In times past, it would have been a black mark and his colleages would use it to mock him for ages, and it would cost him elections... But in [current year] its Tuesday...

  • Secular socialism? Threaten me with a good time, when does it start?

  • It is the most unrealistic, dispite [gestures broadly to everything] because.

    1. President Dwayn Elezondo Mtn. Dew Herbert Comacho has a problem.
    2. They find the most qualified person to solve it, even though they are not sure 😉
    3. They (reluctantly) listen to his advice.
    4. Finally, once the day is saved, President Comacho does not take credit for it.

    That is the most unrealistic part of the film.

  • Correct, but im rather nostalgic for these jokes as they were told to me during a simpler time, one when the internet was more LOLCAT memes and less enshitified.

  • Hey now, Vance already has a restraining order, he isnt allowed within 200 feet of sofas, ottomans or Ikeas.

  • No one ever truely grows up, some people are just better at hiding it.

  • Yah, thats why you slap GraphenOS on it before it leaves the lot. All phones spy on you of you dont gut the OS, because there is nothing left that hasent been enshitified.

    Right now, GraphenOS requires a pixle due to hardware limitations. Some time next year they are planning on testing Snapdragon support which will greatly expand the number of phones that can use it.

  • I look out at Lemmy and see all these wonderful and creative instances, then go back to eating my glue.

    .world has a reputation, but I dont care, sorta just waiting for an account migration feature and then ill go spool up my own instance, but until then. \shrug.

  • Fairphone or a Google Pixle (optional GraphenOS, ive had non-tech people install it with no issues)

  • Yes, What have the Romans ever done for us?

    ...the aqueduct!

  • Ha [Internet high five], there is a thing about EvE online players and being opinionated nerds about VOIP solutions.

  • Sounds perfect, my TS3 instance was running on a 10+ year old Dell Optiplex until a while ago when I moved it to a VM.

    You seem to have everything covered, VOIP services are not that heavy, and its great having a residence on the internet where your nerds can drop in and out of. The main issue is getting people off Discord or understanding that old programs are just as if not more functional. (Plus, the whole "If TeH PrOdUcT is Fr33, UR da PrOduCt" thing, but im preaching to the choir here)

  • Some expirence on some self-hosted VOIP solutions from my EvE online days and I self-host a Teamspeak instance (my nerds like it, get off my lawn).

    Mumble in terms of its UI and user expirence, the worst of the major VOIP projects (looks very 2008), however it is by far the best in terms of server stability, plugin compatibility and security. To quote my old EvE admin "Mumble will take the team two weeks to set up correctly, and drive them mad, but once thats done they will not need to touch the config again". Plus it not requiring a license allows large orgs to use it freely. Ever have a need 2.5k+ VOIP users all trying to talk over eachother? Mumble is the only free application that will handle that without issue.

    Teamspeak3 is what I run, and for small communities its perfect. TS5 exists, and the devs keep trying to make "We have Discord at home" and its just a UI fork, they all run the same server backend. As for features, TS3 has the best of ease of set up and granular permissions with API tools to allow for remote or automated managment. For user counts, anything beyond that of a small guild in any game will require a license, they are cheap (I just renewed my 30$ a year license and didnt have to reboot). Its drawbacks are that it struggles after several hundred users (its heavier on server hardware than mumble is) and user accounts with permissions can break the server. Fortunatly settings are managed by a local database so backups of server state and files are easy.

    I remember Ventrilo existing, thats about it.

    Hardware wise, a new pi should be fine, older models might have issues based on expected user load. Network load is not significant for normal hobbiest user counts, security is not any different than normal homelab internet services.

    Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

  • This all happened in 24-hours. Nature is healing.

  • Have fun figuring out the point of reference of your new powers. It would be hillarious if it was not the nearest grvitational well. Earth moves, the sun moves, our galaxy moves. Watch it be not the most obvious thing, and you teleport into empty space.

  • The dems have to engage the left they have completely alienated. The people on the edge of their overton window that think the dems are a complete and total failure and also invoke Godwins law every time a GOP policy is duscussed. Instead the dems think the people they need to seek are the centerists... And well... Look what that got them last time.
