- Comment on Docker container with a web UI to manage virtual machines? 3 months ago:
Ahh, I see. Someone else mentioned portainer, that has a lot of “click to do bleh” functions. Might be what the doctor ordered. You could also put the command in a bash script, like restart.sh and then it’ll show up with an ls.

I Tailscale in to my home network, and then from one of the machines I’m the network, I can ssh in (or whatever.)
- Comment on Self-hosting paradox: Windows for specifically MS word 3 months ago:
I have a Windows 11 VM running in Proxmox. It works fine. I put a desktop with a Windows license in the cluster, passed the hardware ID into the VM, it didn’t work, so I hollered at an MS rep for a bit and they activated it for me. I don’t use it for much, but it works.
- Comment on Before social media/internet/cell phones/landlines/payphones; how would 2 friends living across the same city arrange in person meetings and stay in touch? 4 months ago:
My parents lived in a part of the world where they didn’t always have phones. Dad lived on a farm, mom lived in town. School together, Church together. After school, Dad would go “help around the house” at mom’s. Or vice versa. Once they got old enough, one or the other would go to the city in the family car for shopping, and bring the other with. Go see a movie, grab a bite to eat together.
- Comment on Help getting started with self hosting Jellyfin via NAS? 4 months ago:
I have a really cheap old as the hills desktop with an ancient Quadro gpu in it connected via a decently expensive but also used 10gb Nic to my nas which is running Proxmox and a bunch of containers, but the two interesting ones are a tailscale exit node and Jellyfin. The Jellyfin gets the gpu via pass through, and I get 1080p on tap anywhere in my house with no fuss no muss, and I can use the tailscale app, connect, and act like I’m in my house from anywhere else, including other continents. Noticeable delay on play and pause on media if I’m on the other side of the planet, but that’s it for limitations.

I do IT for a company that actually makes the world better! (And I live in the Texas of Canada, so…)

I finally have an awesome job!
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 4 months ago:
No, it’s end-user panic. “That report me and Bob were working on? It’s gone! Emergency! Panic!”
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 4 months ago:
sigh I know. It’s my boss that implemented the policy… But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 4 months ago:
Admin here! OneDrive synced home folders at work. Everyone ignores saving because ‘autosave’. Once a week at least, some staff member spends hours on something after the mandatory 90-day password change, never signed back in to OneDrive, and gets to kiss all that work goodbye. Also, once a quarter at least, someone was working on a document shared to the by an employee who just quit, so we have to frantically ‘unfire’ someone’s account so the suddenly missing document can be retrieved.

I have an original framework. I swapped the RAM and SSD in seconds. The add-on ports make changing functions trivial. I swap my HDMI to a wired Ethernet port on the regular, and the expansion cards actually work through a dock, too. I really like it. It does throw the odd “USB port has malfunctioned” error from time to time, but it’s quite rare.

I’m not frugal, just a cheapskate. I have an i5 NUC that I got for 225$ Canadian, so like 16$ USD… (I exaggerate.) I got an old 1080p projector from an Electronics Recycling in town for 125$ CAD, and a receiver at an auction. No remote and the HDMI in was busted, 40$. So I used a USB sound card with optical out. (Another 40$.) Speakers from goodwill. The wall I project to is already white. I have an Ikea Kallax with the receiver and the projector right behind my couch. Speaker wire is scrap cat5 cable from work. The subwoofer has an annoying buzz at the moment, but it was 20$ from Goodwill, so… Otherwise, it’s big, bright, loud. I cobbled it together over a few months, but it’s a great setup and very cheap.

Not stupid at all. I think I read that Disney has something like that for charging communications equipment at the parks. (I could be remembering wrong, I am internet brain-addled.) You know the crazies would hate it, though. Smart money says that there’s an entirely port-free iPhone in the next five years.
