Is this real, is this how it happened??

If only Iran had nukes…

Probably not.

The worst case scenario is when you know you have something, you cannot find it after multiple raids, and you end up buying it again. Then of course you eventually find it during the course of doing something random.

That’s nice. I suppose you could do the same by printing a bunch of UUIDs on QR codes and add the UUIDs to the respective location in the system.

What I’m doing is even easier. I use an X-Y coordinate system. I assign a letter to a storage unit, e.g. a Kallax is assigned “A”. Then each bin horizontally is X and each bin vertically is Y in A:X:Y. Then fairly easily I can determine that the third bin on the second shelf is A:3:2. That’s short enough to type in a search field. It’s also easy enough to locate a shelf coming from A:X:Y. If the shelf has only one dimension, like a bunch of drawers, I use just one number. This system is fairly easy to learn and eliminates the need for physically tagging every bin or drawer. Doesn’t work for unstructured storage, like boxes on the floor or other shameful things that we all have. 😄

Any suggestions for alternatives while we’re at it?

I’m currently using Google Keep (don’t judge) with special title format and gotta move out of there.

It’s probably a bit of both, plus still functional memory.

Snaps

What you want to look at is the size of the hate and the material reasons for it. And that’s fairly difficult to measure if you’re not paying close attention. Plex hate has been growing dramatically over the last few years because they materially changed their service. They began collecting data some time ago and now they are selling it unless you go and opt out. So the hate is much larger and louder for that reason. For me those last changes were the straw that made it clear we’re just one small push for profit away from my sailing habits getting sold to the American copyright lobby. So I’m currently trialling Jellyfin.

In addition as some have highlighted Jellyfin is markedly different from Plex or Emby in that it’s open source and if something happens to it, forking is the way out, which already happened since Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Migrating from one open source project to its fork is usually trivial compared to migrating from a proprietary service to another one. And there’s no reasonable chance of my data ending up in the RIAA/MPAA’s hands. So the Plex -> Jellyfin switch everyone is doing is not merely switching to another horse. It’s more like switching to completely different vehicle that you can maintain indefinitely.

E: This process we currently call “enshittification” (not a new process) has now been experienced by wide swaths of people where previously only a small minority understood it. I think that drives faster and wider reaction to these patterns as they’re now very familiar. I think that’s a good thing. I used to give corporations more benefit of the doubt and think in balance but then I did not understand why they do what they do. Now I do and the benefit of the doubt is gone unless there’s something material to support it. Like having open source clients.

Sorry, C-2. 😄 It’s got some Patriot Act-y stuff in it. Look up coverage on it.

I’m currently trying that but the proposed information sharing changes with the US in Bill C-5C-2 change the calculus. I’m sure part of the push comes from the American copyright lobby.

Can you segregate connections between different nodes on the tailnet, like say node G and H can only talk to each other and no other nodes?

What do you mean by going in a similar way? Towards an IPO?

Not so much ire than awareness and planning so we don’t get caught pants down. I’ve been using them for 5 years, in part because their clients (for my OSes) are open source and there was a path out of their infrastructure. I paid for it and have a pretty elaborate setup which supports services for family and friends. I’ve been happy so far, but will be decoupling from their infrastructure. No ire for them, just for the system. The system makes people and firms do what they do. 😄

Huh, I actually didn’t know this because I don’t use Windows/macOS/iOS. Somehow completely missed this.

Yeah, as I said, it’s a friendly reminder. I’m personally probably doing it this year. It’s entirely possible that enshittification could come even years from now. It all depends on how their enterprise adoption goes I think. The more money they make there, the longer the individual users are gonna be left unsqueezed.

Well not “the” backend server but “a” different backend server. As far as I know Headscale is a separate implementation from what Tailscale run themselves.

I think it would be cool if Tailscale made it into the enterprise arena.

I think they already have started. Telus is on their list of clients.

You know, I looked at my shifter just now and it’s actually XTR. The rest is as stated. 😂

Yeah, I think it’s the mechanical manufacturing precision that takes a great derailleur system like SLX, XT and gets it that extra step to feel magical. With that said, it’s very impressive how good the cheap stuff is these days too. CUES is quite something for the price.
