- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 21 hours ago:
Minecraft and then just build games inside of it?
- Comment on Do I need a NAS ? 1 day ago:
I went with a nas since I needed storage and barely any compute, and I wanted it on all of the time. I also wanted a cloud sync service.
Keep in mind that SMB and NFS work fine across any network but iSCSI needs a reliable hardwire network with decent buffers on the switch.
Attaches storage uses USB which isn’t that great. eSATA is better. External drives start to add up too.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 days ago:
It’s a backwards compatibility issue. MS has been telling people for years that defaults are not secure. I have enterprise grade equipment in production that doesn’t support smb signing by default.
Shit is crazy.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 days ago:
How did Novell mess up netware? If anything Novell should have teamed up with IBM or Apple to take on end user productivity.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 days ago:
Wasn’t 4 still a flat directory? I’m talking about 5 when it got serious.
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 2 days ago:
Novell solved directory services 25 years ago. It took MS 10 to catch up.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 3 days ago:
A different domain name won’t fix the issue you’re describing.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 3 days ago:
Can you explain the connection issues? Dynamic dns services aren’t much different than a normal domain name.
If the problem is with your ip address changing then you need to get a more permanent ip.
In fact you can usually get a domain name from the dynamic dns provider and they can update it.
A way around this is to use a service like Tailscale. Their ip address for your host won’t change. The downside is you need to be on von to access it. There might be other options.
- Comment on New battery life record: This CPU makes the best known business laptop more efficient 4 days ago:
What a poor take. I’ve been trying g to find the right balance between performance, battery, and heat/sound for business use. Intels previous gen under performed, AMD ran hot, and neither were good with battery.
Jumping from 10hrs to 18hrs in testing is huge, with real world use likely going from 4-8 hrs. Getting an all-day battery is a win that only Apple and snapdragon have been able to do.
- Comment on New battery life record: This CPU makes the best known business laptop more efficient 4 days ago:
32gb is fine for most

- Comment on Portable KVM for console access 5 days ago:
If you want to really tinker there is a uConsole kvm project.
If it’s an intel cpu you might have vapor, which is a native kvm. If you have AMT then I think you get kvm to the bios but it won’t give you kvm once the OS boots.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 6 days ago:
Honestly how did two wires on old phones power the phone, got it to ring, hold a two-way conversation, and also dial out? Only two wires?!?
I took a class at college on it and the mystery was revealed but I’m still convinced it’s magic.
- Comment on Electricians of Lemmy: Planning a kitchen re-wire. Sub-panel or direct run? 1 week ago:
Upgrade to 200A panel if you’re already going through the hassle of significant wiring. You’ll be able to run more circuits to that room.
- Comment on Former Microsoft engineer explains why Windows 'sucks' now 1 week ago:
Not just hardware, drivers. Driver support was abysmal. On a decent hdd with updated drivers vista was fine.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 week ago:
Tracking inventory is literally one of its primary use cases.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 week ago:
The default channel is usually populated enough and I think nodes relay other channels using lora too.
My range to the next node is 7 miles.
AirTags work but chirp and thieves know to dump them.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 week ago:
Buy a few t1000 to see how it works and if you have any other nodes in your area. If you do you’ll have decent coverage.
The t1000 doesn’t have amazing battery life but I think there’s devices that are dedicated to gps tracking that last a lot longer.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 week ago:
I have helium nodes near me. Not sure how blockchain fits in, but they offer money if you donate your wifi or LoRa, and you can buy service to use that wifi or LoRa.
I like the idea but WiFi doesn’t have the range to be very useful except maybe in an apartment building.
- Comment on Air Tag Alternative 1 week ago:
Meshtastic. Be sure to set it up to not broadcast your precise position over the default channel.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 1 week ago:
I played through fhe whole series thinking the good part was about to happen since there was hype for the game.
- Comment on cheapest way to connect several SATA HDs via USB? 1 week ago:
4 bay usb dock? The one that you just attach the bare drive. I think you can find them for $70.
USB sata adapters are like $10 each.
- Comment on Maybe "CAESAR STABBED IN BACK BY BRUTUS AND CASSIUS" was just a metaphorical clickbait headline, and the actual event was a minor policy dispute instead of a literal assassination. 1 week ago:
Might have been an epic rap battle for all we know.
- Comment on Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election. 2 weeks ago:
The play is either “it’s the Dems fault!” Or there is something a lot worse they are covering up with this drama.
I don’t think politicians are smart so I’m going with the first option.
- Comment on Bewildered enthusiasts decry memory price increases of 100% or more — the AI RAM squeeze is finally starting to hit PC builders where it hurts 2 weeks ago:
You can tell just by the fan noise or monitoring cpu usage. Win 11 uses more cpu regularly.
I’m not sure if it’s bad, because they changed other things too like the start menu, and it’s less responsive.
Single app performance is about the same as 10.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t Kmip how this is solved?
- Comment on How to keep adding on 2 weeks ago:
Upsize your NAS drives. Get rid of external drives. Set up one nas to back up to the other, or pay for cloud backups. Synology cloud is relatively cheap.
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
I assumed but without the /s it’s hard to tell on the internet.
8====D~~~[PCs]
- Comment on Why do each gaming fraction (pc, consoles, mobile) hating each other? 2 weeks ago:
Because PC is better than console.
This is exactly why there’s animosity.
I prefer console because: it just works. Devs don’t need to address bugs related to hardware, and they can tune their games for the performance of the console.
I don’t have a lot of free time so knowing it will work within seconds of hitting the power button is worth it to me.
I used to PC game, and still do for a few that are better with a mouse/keyboard.
I don’t hate on anyone that prefers a different gaming system.
