I dunno. That sounds like a Sturgeon’s General Warning.

The issue I was having was getting a hyper-v host to connect to an iscsi array on a nimble. That first result was pretty much exactly what I needed. It didn’t highlight it in the preview, but it was on the page once I opened it.

I’m starting to give up on Google. I’ve literally copy and pasted the same error message in Google, DuckDuckGo, and Kagl.

Google will respond with “no results found” while the others will actually give me a response.

Or the docs are just out of date and literally don’t mention this feature added 2 years ago.

Unifi. I’ve got a box of APs as ewaste just sitting in the basement. Every so often I would get more ewaste from companies I work with.

I don’t need the most demanding of wifi systems. I hardwire most of my stuff whenever possible. And I have a fairly small home. A single AP on the main floor, 1 AP on the basement. 1 AP in the detached garage.

Most of my wifi devices are iot things on their own vlan.

Oh man. I’ve had this kind of thing. I started inviting people I knew wouldn’t come. I wouldn’t feel bad when they didn’t. But I’d occasionally get a couple that I didn’t expect and had a good time.

My girlfriend hates hearing no though so she only invites those she knows will say yes. It’s a bit of a bummer. Because I always enjoy the surprise of someone I didn’t expect.

I’m a big fan of ipmi so I can remotely manage it. I’d look at one of these now: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/supermicro-superserver-e200-8de300-8d-review/

I don’t really like having to connect a monitor and keyboard when working on my servers now.

Storage is really limited for TV and movies though if you are running Plex.

If you want to host something like libre office, just remember how important backups actually are. If you take the risk of hosting business documents, make sure you do everything necessary to protect them.

I have haix, but have to get their boots in extra wide since they run more narrow.

I love their sneaker style composite toe though. Huge toe box that never feels tight.

I don’t know what you are developing, but I mostly play RPGs. And sure, I tend to go towards older games I’ve played and know a lot. But I also picked up Eiyuden Chronicles, Sea of Stars, and Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 and played them through completely.

The issue for me is that new games try really hard to emulate and reference older titles in the genre. They act as a love letter to the original games and, in my humble opinion, end up worse for it.

The developers chase nostalgia and don’t let their games stand on their own two feet. They don’t trust the game they made to be good without being propped up by the old games they reference. They fail to write a compelling and unique story instead of filling them with references to games they loved. In some cases, they try to have all these different systems and mini games that were innovative in their original form, but now are clodged together and fighting each other for my limited attention.

Take Eiyuden Chronicles for example, I loved the Suikoden games and have played them multiple times. But they added every single minigame from the 5 games that came before it as well as adding new ones. I couldn’t focus on the story while trying to navigate all these little systems. I’m not young and with a ton of free time anymore. I don’t want to study in order to figure out some skill tree with hundreds of branching options. I don’t want to feel like I’m missing out on story or game play because 20 minutes in I had to make a decision where I wasn’t aware of the consequences.

Personally, I just want an emotional story that I can immerse myself in without having to study how to play a game or time pressure where I can’t enjoy the journey.

Anyway, if you take anything away from that long winded rant it should be: if you make your game good, trust that it will be able to stand on its own against those old ROMs then people WILL play it and love it. Don’t compare yourself to the past and people falling back to their “comfort games” and make your game as great as you can. Create the game that you love and would want to play and know that others will want to as well.

I find the limit to be useful. It prevents random relationship drama and filler.

But I think both film and television series work great for different stories. Having television without a definitive end makes stories weirdly convoluted and meaningless as they try to change another season, just the same as the empty film sequel.

I keep trying to get into it. I have one and do some neat things with it. But personally. I’ve found it to just be another tool to fabricate for some other projects. But the little knick knacks keep being the main models showing up on printables and thingiverse.

I’d love to see a repository of 3d models of parts for various machinery and car parts. My entire interior is basically molded abs, why aren’t there models of all those pieces I can just print?

It’s how I determine my favorite car. It’s the one I get to drive now.

The bestest dog? The one I get to pet now.

Depending on what people do, the government already has their fingerprints.

Personally, I work around schools so I had to get a background check and fingerprinted for that. I also am licensed to handle explosives, both federally and at the state level. I been fingerprinted for that. I’ve gone through TSA for hazmat endorsement on a commercial driver’s license. That needed fingerprints and a background check.

Getting fingerprinted to get through airport security is the least of my privacy concerns.

But my threat model isn’t the TSA. They aren’t a concern of mine, although I do opt out of their facial recognition.

I am concerned with internet surveillance, corporate surveillance, and communication surveillance.

I hate how corporate Plex has become. Instead of making their apps better, now it’s how many “free” services they can try and get you to use.

All I wanted was my hosted media. And to easily share that with family without having to manage user accounts.

I run jellyfin along side it, but Plex still gets the most use.

Bowling For Soup - No Hablo Inglés

Tombstone, AZ has a population of 1,313.

I specifically will boycott places if their ads annoy me enough.

I want a replica of the ocarina from Lunar: A Silver Star Story.

It’s such a beautiful instrument.

That’s not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.

I’m at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.
