Hello! Some info about me is up on my website: https://wreckedcarzz.com/
Oof. I have my VMs getting backed up to another machine so theoretically (untested) I should be able to recover with less than a day of data loss (very minimal for this box). The annoying part would be getting it hooked up to a monitor and keyboard, since it’s under an end-table in the living room.
This is the first issue in like… 15 months? Hopefully it stays rather uneventful.
I’m always up late (it’s 5:19a), though a good bit more than usual lately. But I did the upgrade because I was anxious, had nothing to do, and there were no users utilizing the machine.
Yay, it only took 2 hours and the help of an llm since the upgrade corrupted my lvm metadata! Little bit of post cleanup and verifying everything works. Now I can go to sleep (it’s 5am).
Wasn’t that bad, but not exactly relaxing. And when my VMs threw a useless error (‘can’t start need manual fix’) I might have slightly panicked…
Yeah, for chat I’ve tried a few systems but honestly I already had signal, they understand that signal chats aren’t texting, the privacy is important to me, and most of all… why rock the boat?
It’s not self-hosted yeah yeah but not everything needs to be. Password management, todo lists, calendar and contacts, grocery lists… sure yeah. But nothing for chat really struck me. And I don’t want to teach everyone how it works just to test a ‘maybe’ alternative.
Ha, I use both wg and zt, for different situations. ZT for multi-player for old games with friends via ‘LAN’ across the WAN, wg for ‘actual’ VPN through my vps.
Though with zt I’m grandfathered on the old free tier, and they try pretty hard to get me to switch. Last time I logged in they had a full-page ‘you should upgrade to our new plans and features’. But I’m happy on the free level, just gaming.
The “not my problem lol you figure it out” mode
Plex was the reason why I learned Docker + watchtower, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about updates (work smarter not harder). Now I have like 35 containers and am comfortable with docker. 🐳
I have a few; my main site gives details about me, has a page dedicated to hating shitty companies and practices, and links to my clan’s website. Has a bunch of subdomains but it’s essentially “tell me about yourself” in webpage form.
I stopped in 2007 and haven’t looked back, and advise friends and family to do the same. This is just more ammo for the “but why” rebuttal speech, and baby, “wanting your cpu to not die” is an awfully juicy bullet.
Watching Intel fuck themselves the last decade has been an absolute delight, but this, I could almost fap to this news.
Another reason added to the CVS-receipt-long list of reasons to never buy Intel.
Thanks, Steve Intel.
Yeah, I was like ‘uh, no’. I had to reinstall FH3 well over a dozen times because their updates would break shit and there was no file integrity check system. The store is garbage, no doubt, but let’s keep it to facts yeah.
If it fits loosely under the food pyramid category and I can therefore eat a ton of it and say it’s just my daily bread, then yes.
But sugars are at the top and we all know the higher a thing is the more important it is. Can we double-dip on the chart? Also yes.
Sponge, mmmm
Though it being difficult doesn’t excuse releasing an untested program or one with known issues…
there’s no wifi
Wifi is a lie! screams, starts looting
I was going to write a long series of events that grew in oddity and hilariousness until we all died a gruesome death, but that’s a lot of effort, so I’ll just put this here.
Off-topic but may I ask what is your disability? I am disabled as well after suffering a stroke that I wasn’t supposed to live through, and am passively looking for others like me to game with (I mean anybody is cool but it’d be nice to have others that are in similar situations, for support and stuff). I play racing / shooters / strategy games one-handed, partially blind, with some cognitive struggles.
It’s okay sweetie, you’ll grow up some day :)
So like, the 0 that use that implementation. Like really, IPsec? No openvpn support? No wireguard support? What is this, 2004?
I use Obtainium and run this (play store link) in the background/scheduled. I use their software on my machines and like it so have been running their mobile solution for a few years too.
I guess you could download the apk and then scan it before installing, manually but that would get tiring fast. I don’t know of any automated system for that.
