  • IP is fine, they just didn’t buy a domain to point to it.

    I’d maybe feel better if there was some sort of repo to show the code.

    I personally despise everything moving to browser based, and I intentionally steer everyone in my org to Outlook Classic as well as physical apps where it makes sense. This is all going the way of, “You will own nothing and be happy”.

    Like people who don’t want to give up on hard cover books (my wife), there’s something about having the physical copy that feels good. Even though software isn’t physical, I’m more so talking locally installed and perpetually licensed or, better yet, FOSS.



  • I don’t get it, how tf they gonna stop you on phones that already exist?

    A. You can disable any new OS or device updates from Google.

    B. You can keep your existing phone on Android 16 or prior (hell, I’m on 12)

    C. Use alt OS like Graphene, Lineage, Iodé, /e/OS, CalyxOS (they’re back!!), etc

    D. Sign out of Google on your phone, install F-Droid or something from APK package on FF derived browser.

    I’m sure on brands new devices with that patch, plus anyone who doesn’t disable the auto updates will be blocked. But no way no how can Google stop us all!! 🖕🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏼


  • Some drives are older. My 8TBs are 2019 enterprise SAS and are meant to be on all day. They don’t get much workout cuz once full they’re not doing a ton of writing. So they’ll last. Lady year picked up several 16TBs before the price jumped. Thankful I pay attention and jumped on it when I did!

    I’ve ripped all ~2.5kDVDs, ~1.2k BD, and ~600 4K BD (plus several dozen 3D) I keep pretty high quality copies, strip multi lang or auto tracks and stick to higher DTS or Dolby, strip subtitles, etc.

    Crazily, I keep a 2nd “older” 7700K for playing the DVD and BD content for friends and family, I do the better stuff for me and a couple friends who actually care about quality. Now I need to add JF alongside Plex and Emby just bc.




  • ZimaOS was a love/hate relationship for me. I setup a i7-7700K, 32GB DDR4, dualc10Gb SFP+, 24-bay SAS with x2 LSI 9300-16i raid cards… Technically that’s only 12 PCIe lanes (8 for x2 cards and 4 for NVMe’s) but ZimaOS, even after paying for the premium upgrade (< 4 drives supported), couldn’t handle large quantity disks with large capacity… I had 10x 8TB drives and 8x 16TB drives, each in raid5 with a hot spare, and Zima would constantly become unresponsive with <50TB of data.

    Idk if it was a power issue (850w PSU), raid card, or the OS, but I found myself struggling to keep it usable. I had attempted the arrs stacks but ran into issues. Idk if it was corrupted eventually, but I went back to my old server shell until I can resolve it and make it stable. Lemme tell you, moving 50TB+ across 2x 1GbE is excruciatingly slow… I was so thrilled to be on 10Gb for the short time 😢
