I’m afraid dongle refers to something else.

But it is a funny word, though!

50% of the time I would be handed a cable. Who knows what’s on the other end of it.

I’m no Plex fanboy but from what I’ve read Jellyfin auth leaves a lot to be desired from a security standpoint, particularly if you are opening it to the web. And chances are if your jellyfin server was breached, you wouldn’t get an email about it.

Yes. Using sub-files and related features makes a 100+ page document with figures and links much easier to work with.

One of my favorite parts of being a math teacher is getting to write in latex all the time.

It’s such a bummer collaborating on a document because they all use Word.

I’m okay with that!

Yeah. I also appreciate the ability to actually fix most problems. I probably ran into fewer problems on windows, but when I did, the problems were beyond repair.

As a math teacher I make booklets per unit. They’re almost entirely based on a textbook or two, but they’re all typed up by me in latex.

It works well — one small booklet to haul around at a time. There’s also room for them to write notes as well as work out practice problems. And an answer key, depending on the class.

What does Microsoft have to do with that? You can make the same AI PRs anywhere you want.

It’s a similar idea to how some RAID configurations work.

I just learned this on 2.5 Admins.

Almost all routers can handle gigabit, which is almost certainly what you want if you plan on doing local networking. A typical hard drive has speeds of about a gigabit. There is no reason to get anything slower. You can also get some gigabit switches (or even faster if you are using nvme on both machines) and connect two machines that need fast speeds between them to it. Most switches will be able to send packets to each other without going through the router.

If you really want to do some learning you could try to set up an opnsense box on an old PC and connect that to a switch. It’s feature rich and completely modular and upgradable. This is probably the best thing you could do if you want to learn something but also the worst thing to do if you want consistent uptime since you can pretty easily break stuff if you don’t read the docs.

That said, as others have mentioned openwrt on a used router is probably the best of both worlds - feature rich but less breakable.

Radarr and sonarr. And any other software based on that codebase.

I had so many OSX and Final Cut Pro DVD-Rs. And Adobe CS.

Nowadays I just use FOSS alternatives. Pirated software isn’t worth the risk anymore IMO.

public infrastructure

acceleration of climate change

noise pollution

impediments for non motorists

Damn.

The whole point is that it’s open source and they want people to be able to print them themselves.

I primarily use Libre Wolf but playing back hdr videos in Plex might just be easier to use Chromium than mpv.

If you have a car with a CD player, I’d recommend burning some CDs. It’s so refreshing having a small collection of banger CDs to choose from. Not to mention that you can insert and eject without being too distracted.

Some governments have been starting this transition already.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.
