I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.

My main issue was it doesn’t play well with Macs.

Oh I have. And I have never gotten a notification. 😒

I’d love a dream router … if they were ever in stock. Instead they all end on eBay for $100 more than retail. Wonder why that is? (Fucking scalpers)

Well true but I was assuming the circuits had some things drawing a little power. Flipping on a device and tripping a breaker with 12 machines on it wouldn’t be ideal :)

I have done this before in my upstairs home lab. 3 beefy ESXi machines, some nas storage, and a basic 10gbe switch eats up a lot of a single 15amp circuit. And apparently turning on a TV pushes it over the edge. Luckily the UPS saved my but while a reset the breaker and shut some stuff off.

This is only about 21 amps. Most outlets in a home are 15amps but 20amps isn’t unheard of. From one outlet doubtful but yes one house would provide that much power easily if you split them up to three or 4 rooms on different breakers.

Now it would be fun to watch his electric meter spin like a saw blade … (yes I’m old … I remember meters that had spinning discs)

HungerGamesOS. I love this idea!!!

Which is funny because when I first started my CS degree in the late 80s (get off my lawn) we used to make fun of the beginning Java classes because it seems 90% of coding was to import the right library.

Good because I was confused. I’ve written similar code

What I’d really like is something more akin to google drive streaming. Let me see all the files in the file system but only go get them if I try to open it. I don’t have room for all 2TB of files on my laptop but I don’t want to constantly go click on which folders to sync either.

Pfsense and opnsense are also very good for this.

Thank you!!! I feel the same way and I felt like I was losing my marbles.

Discord is just way too ephemeral and the answers you get depend on who is logged on at the time. I don’t expect an immediate answer but I also don’t wanna wade through 14 conversations either.

As an old coder this is the only religious war worth having. 😂

(Totally church of vi btw)

I totally feel you. I’m in IT and design these incredibly robust systems. But I don’t have that budget for my house and they say “the cobbler’s children have no shoes."

Not sure if this is common knowledge but Pi-hole can also run in a docker container, it doesn’t have to be a raspberry pi. I have it running on portainer on two different machine in my house. I’m a systems architect by trade so there no kill like overkill 😅

You might be a nerd when you have to schedule maintenance at your own house.

Check out Tailscale.

They made a software jailbreak?!?! So I just looked this up and I have Splinter Cell and MechAssault. I may have to dig that thing out and give this a try.

Yeah this “pretty major UX refresh” line bothers me A LOT. Kinda like when Amazon fucked up the UX/UI on the cheap fire tv sticks.

Yeah I think I do too in the attic somewhere. Mid chips on those things where a bitch back then when it first started up. I think they got better though.
