That’s just barely thoughts-and-prayers level. They could at least schedule a mandatory meeting that interrupts everyone’s day for half an hour.

I guess no game is better than a shitty one, but can someone please make a modern sims game that’s not EA and their endless DLC crap.

This isn’t really a novel approach. Ads with fake links that lead to malware is basically the state of Google search results for every damn thing now.

Everyone should adblock, but especially low involvement actors like Google until and unless they sort out their malware, fraud, and scam ads. (They won’t.)

Open source people “cheering” for Broadcom and Qualcomm based chips? I’m horribly confused as to when the open source types decided they liked greedy, horrible, shitty companies?

Honestly, it feels like being a tech bro requires you to have a brain defect where you read or see something meant to be a warning and it causes you to somehow interpret it as the best idea you’ve ever seen.

Basically sums up the last 20 years of Silicon Valley and their nonstop hopping from dumb to dumber to dumberest.

Looks like your landlord and the people who flipped my house hired the same electrician. They did the same stupid thing jumping the load and ground so that it’d pass inspection (the little tester will show everything properly grounded).

Unnnnfortunately, that’s also a good way to cause serious damage to things and in my case it managed to short in such a way that it melted one of the phases coming into the house and damn near burned my house down.

Don’t do stupid shit with your outlets, kids, because uh, yeah, fire.

Jellyfin and/or plex will do that, and it’s what I’m using.

The BF has an account and a music library, and I have a different one.

One thing to consider, as well, is that SSH is extremely well reviewed, audited, and battle tested.

If you get “hacked” via SSH, it’s almost certainly because you had a bad password (don’t use passwords!), and not due to an exploitable bug in SSH.

Some random Docker management tool? Eh, I wouldn’t wager any money on you getting hacked, either through missing a configuration step, or a permission being too lose, or a flat out stupid decision made somewhere in the code that’s exploitable.

SSH + lazydocker is a reasonable choice if you want to go the SSH route and is my ‘oh shit, portainer-via-vpn is fucked’ backup.

There’s stuff for sale like that on the ARM side, but you’ll pay out the nose for it, as it’s all enterprise-y server-y stuff. For example, you can buy Ampere chips and boards that have ram slots and pci-e slots and all that jazz, but it costs way too much to make any sort of sense at the consumer level.

But yeah, on the consumer side we’re never going to get modifiable and upgradable systems from the current crop of SOC vendors, and, worse, the x86 duopoly looks to want to head down the integrated RAM and non-upgradable path too :(

So wait, they’ve gone from getting wet and having the bumpers fall off to getting wet and then instantly crashing?

I’m not sure that’s an actual improvement.
