Synology with Emby (do not use the connect service they offer) running behind my fortinet firewall. DDNS with my own domain name and ssl cert. Open 1 custom port (not 443) for it, and that's it. Geoblock every country but my own, which basically eliminated all random traffic that was hitting hit. I've been running it this way for 5 years now and have no issues to report.

This brings back a memory... this is like 20 years ago and our early 20's, we had one friend who went through a weird phase of self harm, but only around people and it got worse the drunker we got through the night. We all had no idea why, and we all got weirded out by it. Anyway, this reminded me of the time he carried around a glass jar with barbed wire inside and other things to cut you with $5 at the bottom. I believe he copied a scene in family guy. He kept asking people to try, and of course nobody would, so he would then say look its not hard and jam his hand inside. It was super creepy, and we think he enjoyed seeing us squirm and squint our eyes. During this same phase one night he carried around a kitchen knife, and he actually ended up stabbing our friend in the leg as he looked at us in horror and us back at him the same. Let's just say he isn't really friends with most of us anymore and also moved thousands of miles away.
As everyone has pointed out, people and content. Its good in some ways since not every post is drowned out with one thousand replies nobody will ever see, but at the same time, you're not getting much of anything at all sometimes. Not even very niche ones either. Even groups that represent entire states has limited info or replies still. If it can grow to that size and see some more unique and local content more I think even that would be a much better place for it to be.
Yeah, it's the one I was leaning towards. I liked what I saw, but I want to try it out first before diving in. I like that it offers up the newest updates first. I just had issues with getting it spun up as a vm and all I get is a black screen after it installs. I don't seem to be the only one with that issue so I'll have to think of another way to test.
I was already looking around. I work in IT, so I am not completely oblivious to using Linux or how it works. I tested a few out a long time ago, and we have a few systems in production at work. I was going to try out Mint, Elementary, Pop, and KDE Neon before deciding. So far I got Mint spun up as a VM and played around a little. KDE Neon just gave me a black screen after it installed, which stinks because it was the one I was leaning towards the most. I haven't gotten to the other 2 yet.
Yup, I finally may be trying out some Linux versions soon to find one to switch to... I have always been whatever about what Microsoft does, and it's always been simple enough to fight back and stop whatever crap I never wanted. This announcement just feels like there's no way it will stop, and it's becoming way more frequent. I hate AI, and im tired of it being shoved in my face or running my services.
I find it funny to see all the stuff they try to add or do and really wonder if they came out with windows 12 in 2 flavors, 1 being a continuation of what it is now, and 2nd being a completely stripped down version that offers nothing but the OS with nothing else in the background running or spying and no apps built in which one would sell more. The funny thing is they would probably charge you way more for the stripped-down version, and it would still probably sell more.
To this day, Maxtor was the only drive that took a complete dump on me... because of that, I have always had bias towards that brand. This is over 30 years of using computers and as someone who worked tech support for a company of 5 thousand people. This failure happened at my job, and that person was not very happy.
That's exactly why i originally used it, actually. Our group policy is set to go to screen saver and turn off screen after lile 10 min then 20 min. Whenever I played music and stepped away, it would always turn off, so this fixed it. I understood the policy at work in case you stepped away, but I am at home now, so who cares if I leave it unlocked.
Thanks! I heard of that as well, but i am pretty sure that activity is recorded, and if they look at Teams activity, it would definitely be odd to see someone being in a meeting all day. I've been using this app for 2 years now, and it doesn't install on the system. Part of my responsibility is application management, so if anyone's looking over apps, it's me anyway!
Nah, I hate breakfast. Give me that extra sleep anyway. It's not like they are very good either.
Dam, where you going that has 12 checkouts? I see mostly 11 with some being 10.
I'm definitely in the minority, but i really never had or have any issues with Windows or Teams like everyone seems to complain so much about. With that said, I absolutely love that they are making this move. As someone who works in the area and sees the pricing and how much our company spends on Microsoft I find it appalling and absurd that anyone is willing to spend that much on licensing... I wish I could work on a project like this just to see what the savings could be overall.
It says they will be replaced soon, so im assuming it's phase 2.
Based loosely on real events.

All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?
Super Furry Animals. Probably seen them about 15 times if not a little more. This includes solo tours since they started doing there own thing near the end of SFA sadly. Still hoping they get back together but it doesn't look very good. I wanna say the last time I saw them was a really random tour they did a few years after thinking they were split up. I think that was around 2016?

Early 40's married and 2 younger kids. I watch trailers and sometimes play demos, lol. I keep up with the news and over the years my game list that used to be about 10 games a year was 5 then 3 and now it's been like 1 or 2 games a year that I buy. I haven't actually finished any of them either... friends poke fun at me for it as well. I really wish I could play, but it's just not in the cards these days, sadly. I feel like as soon as I sit down, I'm beckoned to take care of something, or one of the kids needs something. I stay up later than everyone else just to get a few hours to do something but I almost never feel the need to play something because I'm either to tired or I play the same 1 game for the past 5 years which is fall guys since a bunch of us hop in and chat while playing something quick and dumb. Mostly, I've just been watching TV shows and passing out within the hour. Always tired these days lol.

I took this statement as don't have any more kids because it's most likely having them is what lead to their own divorce. Having kids is insanely hard and you have to change who you are to make things work. Some people are awful at that, which leads to fighting and being miserable. As someone with 2 kids, I can say it's very, very hard...
Please stop! I just forgot about OKRs... they tried pushing them on us like 4 years ago, and 1 year later, they failed so miserably that our CIO sided with us and told us we're not going to continue this path and everyone cheered. They either were implemented so badly that we weren't doing it right or they just suck that bad, and it just doesn't work for our department, which is IT.
Sadly, it may not be an option for a lot of people, but on the fortinet firewall you can make policies and set up geoblocking.
