And that’s how Microsoft moved into irrelevance under Ballmer until Satya Nadella started focussing on innovation again. When sales lead technology businesses they always decline.

sunbeam60,

AN order I said.

After 20+ in software, my loyalty towards my current employer is as strong and unyielding as theirs is to me: Not at all.

sunbeam60,

Everyone believes what they look at every day “looks right”. It’s just habit.

Engine breaking braking destroys the engine.

Today: <Bing!> DO NOT ENGAGE CLUTCH ABOVE 1300 RPM.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

sunbeam60,

I’ve cancelled Netflix. Just wasn’t using it enough for the price. Instead I will entertain myself by downloading Linux distributions on BitTorrent.

sunbeam60,

I haven’t done this myself because it’s obviously very illegal, but I’ve been told you set up a server with docker and set up the following containers:

  • gluetun for VPN (exit in Switzerland with a fallback to Spain) as these countries have the laxest regulation re downloading licensed media.
  • radarr for film
  • sonarr for tv
  • other *arr instances for subtitles, music, ebooks etc
  • qbittorrent piped through the Gluetun container
  • jellyfish, plex or XBMC in front as a player.

But what do I know? I haven’t done it myself and only download large Linux distributions because I love distro-hopping.

sunbeam60,

I exclusively use qbittorrent to download Linux distros.

sunbeam60,

There are just so many distributions.

sunbeam60,

I’ve been told some use an app called LunaSea to to manage their arr instances. Apparently it brings all the arrs under one simple interface.

sunbeam60,

It’s qbittorrent all the way down.

sunbeam60,

Me neither as I haven’t done it.

But apparently it basically creates your own Netflix. You write a title you’d like to watch and within minutes you get a notification that it’s there, ready.

sunbeam60,

Most people I speak to about this assume that the “good VPN” provider can be trusted not to keep logs.

sunbeam60,

I don’t think it is but the headline clearly mimics a standard newspaper headline. I don’t think it’s trying to say something about genders, just saying something about how media communicates.

sunbeam60,

Scale. Look at a programming language like Zig … tiny, but managing to have three people full time.

sunbeam60,

If you fund, you influence.

sunbeam60,

Well, sort of.

If he chooses to install an atomic distribution, for example, he might have a simpler time ensuring that he can help undo any curiosity damage his kids may have wrought.

sunbeam60,
  • My self-hosted docker server is called Ark.
  • My NAS is called NAS.
  • The two remote servers are simply called the name of the country they reside in.
  • The OPNsense router is called, wait for it, Router.
  • The TV client is called TV.

It’s not very colourful :)

sunbeam60,

Yeah. I’m sure the Chinese manufacturers will get on to this right after faking the CE markings. Any second now…

Banking security is so bloody awful it’s insane. I just want passkey support.

sunbeam60,

What’s wrong with PIA’s track record?

sunbeam60,

Yes I’m aware, of course. But then you take on another set of trade-offs. It’s not like shallow cloning SOLVES your problem.
