I tried running a forum… With 24 hours I had 10k posts for Russian porn… And I followed best practices to set it up.

He’s as disappointed in the witcher as the rest of us

So many devices come with those now… I open up my products and remove the card, the antenna, or the whole board if possible.

For example, my sleep apnea machine had a wifi for home and a LTE modem. Data gathered by the machine was sent off-site…no reports available on the host. Privacy policy read it would gather info, run diagnostics on itself and the local network without explanation of what it was doing.

My sleep data could not be viewed by me, only through the 3rd party, so I ripped out the wifi board and LTE chip. I haul the machine into my doctor office so he can cycle through data on the tiny display.

He hates it, but I remind him he picked the machine without asking me if I agreed to to the data collection.

Government says there’s no more draft… Just a registry for boys who could be drafted…not that it’s gonna happen.

So rest assured, there’s no more draft, until Congress implements a new draft

I just put the vacuum in the doorway.

Might as well be the gates to Mordor

They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…

God my last sales team were annoying. You can hear their bullshit from the floor above. They never shut up.

Seeing the windows 3.1 interface took me back to a much happier time.

I have a rack in my garage.

My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

I run Minecraft server

I run home automation server

I run a media server.

Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple
