- Comment on What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear? 1 day ago:
True but it’s designed to be on networks that don’t have internet.
- Comment on What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear? 1 day ago:
Tplink Omada doesn’t need a cloud connection. There’s plenty of other reasons to not like Omada but it’s something to consider. It’s also dirt cheap.
- Comment on Am I doing this (networking) safely? 1 day ago:
If any service has only username and password instead of mfa or password less then it’s not safe.
You also didn’t mention if you have automated patching or immutable backups enabled.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 1 day ago:
Plenty or horizon fans would be fine with another full price dlc.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 day ago:
Amd is arguably more affected. Intels CPUs have memory built into it, and intel bought about a years worth of memory.
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 day ago:
I don’t think a newcomer could do it, but a company like Intel is posed to be in a good position. They don’t have much market share but they have a good product.

Someone is going to make bank by catering to consumers. Will the market accept nvidia back with open arms if/when the ai investments fall through?
- Comment on TrumpRx Denounced as Corrupt Scheme to Line Pockets of Big Pharma—and Don Jr. | Common Dreams 2 days ago:
I experienced the Singapore system first hand. They apologized for charging me around $30 usd for an urgent care visit that was walking distance from the apt complex and 30ft away from the pharmacy that charged me $5 for Rx sinus medicine.
My partner at the time had told me I didn’t need to buy “travelers insurance” for this trip.
That’s when I figured out the us healthcare system was a giant scam.

It’s sad that the GOP will do anything to avoid improving US healthcare for their constituents.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 3 days ago:
Yikes. Hope this doesn’t kill the horizon brand.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 4 days ago:
Even large streaming services drop their servers close to the users to make the experience good. They just do better at scaling.
You could federated authentication so only one ldap service is maintained. You could also sync media from one device to the other so you don’t need to manually update both.

You know you can decline the onedrive folder sync during initial setup right?
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 1 week ago:
When a post to a website gets popular but the website doesn’t have enough resources to handle the number of people visiting it.
- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 1 week ago:
DDOS is a symptom. A DDOS can cause different failure scenarios at different points.
Maybe the attack is causing the service to access a backend database that isn’t equipped to handle the traffic. The web server queues requests but they can’t be handled in a timely manner.
Maybe the attack causes a firewall to spend too much time inspecting the traffic by sending a malformed packet.
Maybe the attack simply overwhelms the bandwidth of the firewall or router. The Reddit “hug of death” is a common example.
In short, lots of things can lead to a service interruption. A DDOS is just a description of a way to cause that interruption by using distributed source hosts.
- Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 1 week ago:
They are still up 25% over the past year?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Win10 is dead. There no going back.
There’s no next version. It’s all iterative.
I agree that they should lean into open source though.

- Comment on Microsoft just issued a second emergency OS update for Windows 11 this month 2 weeks ago:
Fixed: After installing the Windows update released on and after January 13, 2026, some applications became unresponsive or encountered unexpected errors when opening files from or saving files to cloud-based storage, such as OneDrive or Dropbox. In certain Outlook configurations that store PST files on OneDrive, Outlook may hang and fail to reopen unless the process is terminated or the system is restarted. Users may also see missing sent Items or previously downloaded emails being re‑downloaded.

No they fessed up. Infrastructure failure then they messed up load balancing when trying to fix it.

- Comment on RAM shortage chaos expands to GPUs, high-capacity SSDs, and even hard drives 3 weeks ago:
I’m expecting software development to begin focusing on optimization in about 3 years as businesses begin to complain about feature updates slowing things down on the machines that they are keeping longer than before.
CTOs/CIOs that were holding off on purchasing new hardware because of the upcoming improved CPUs from AMD and Intel lost a horrible gamble.
