I guarantee this was their goal all along. Build up something to have a larger entity come through and buy the company. Wish I had thought of it but I’m not a fan of screwing over the user base.
NPM is awesome until you have a weird error that the web GUI does not give a hint about the problem. Used it for years at this point and wouldn’t consider anything else at this point. It just works and is super simple.
I think of AI as Beanie Babies. All the rage (excitement, not anger) and will eventually (hopefully) die on the vine when full AGI never comes.
It will always be Twitter to me. X is a variable in a math problem… not a company name. Oh, I’m also lazy and have never used Twitter.
I primarily listen to podcasts when I’m driving, which isn’t much as I work from home. Once I hit my “I need music” I am reminded how extremely happy I have been with SiriusXM for two decades. Octane, for example, is all music with occasional DJ chatting about something music related.
If I load up the app, they have “only music” stations which is just a straight up list of song after song after song.
Not an ad… I genuinely love Sirius Octane! I have found so many new artists I would have never heard on FM radio.
I think I am going to be one of the people buying into Zen 5 but mainly for the longevity of the platform aspect. I’m in the preplanning stage of my next ProxMox server that will be my NAS (unRAID VM), local infrastructure (Samba AD, Adguard, etc.) & Gaming PC via Parsec/Moonlight or plugged directly into the PC with GPU/NVME passthrough to a VM for gaming.
Firewall is on a separate ProxMox host so if the ProxMox host needs a reboot internet will be fine.
I’ve been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn’t have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?
Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.
I’ve had zero issues without ECC, so I’m just curious about your need for it.
My personal favorite is the people that say it is a hair on fire emergency but then you can never get a hold of them to fix the problem.
I love telling whiny users who claim they’ve always had “this” problem that I cannot fix what I do not know is broken. If there’s no ticket, then nothing is broken, so quit your whining.
I feel like this is what the comment section is used for.
Ahh. Thank you for the info! I too was in that group who did not know! Can’t wait to see what the final picture comes out as!
For those not in the know, what is Canvas? I do not recall seeing this last year.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the Bitwarden client itself already does this. I store several of my TOTP’s in my self hosted Vaultwarden/Bitwarden install.
Oh c’mon! Why must every damn thing have AI crammed into it?? At this point I miss my first StarTac flip phone…
Two users and a handful of service accounts. I use it so I have a centralized user authentication system instead of managing multiple individual user accounts.
I tried a couple of LDAP solutions out there; Windows Server AD, Open LDAP, Samba4 in Debian, TurnKey Solutions LDAP before finally settling on Zentyal. It has a nice to use web GUI and can work in conjunction with AD RSAT tools that I have installed in a throwaway Windows VM for when I need more granular controls the web GUI can’t do.
All my Debian VM’s and laptops connect to Zentyal AD via SSSD.
I just cannot find a use case for Nextcloud. I have gone as far as installing it and sync’ing it with my LDAP for user auth and sync pictures from my phone to my NAS. All the other features are just a big ole m’eh for me.
This has just been my experience, so maybe I’m missing something that would just make it all click and make me not live without it. So far though, I’ve spun up and spun down an instance 3 times and never missed it afterwards.
I have not looked for stats but I’d love to see what the actual usage of the Microsoft Store is. I know I have never found a use for it and went as far as disabling the MS Store via GPO because I got tired of seeing it and for learning experience.
I have never found a reason, for myself, where I would need to use the MS Store… ever.
But if I have a backup Internet, I have no excuse to be to not work during an ISP provided break time!
