  This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don’t know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I’d say yes, the DC was in it’s own VM and then a separate VM would’ve been used as a NAS.

  They probably didn’t have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of “We can’t work!”

  They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead

  I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.

  I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.

  There’s a period at the end of it. Remove that and it’ll work

  I work at an MSP and while it wasn’t LastPass, when you search “Microsoft Authenticator” in the app store there’s a similar looking Authenticator app that’s also blue. Had a user install that and was confused why they weren’t able to get MFA working.

  Aussie chiming in: haven’t heard hands up before, might be a US thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana Pi BPI-M7 - More Reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got one of those cheap Rockchip rk322x TV boxes and it took me fucking literal hours to get the Mali driver working and the performance, while noticeably better, was still way worse than if I ran it’s stock Android image on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming costs are rising, and there are more platforms than ever to choose between. Some people are going back to piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d imagine it’s a more generic term for a small PC (or maybe an Android TV box) running something like Kodi (home media centre program), and Kodi would have access to a drive (usually a network drive) full of pirated MP4s or whatever. I’m sure there’s even more elegant solutions out there, but you get the gist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ASUS Eee PC and the netbook revolution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have my 1000H from 2010 and even used it for school and uni right up until 2019 when I no longer was doing on campus work and I could do everything on my desktop.

  Granted, I went down the rabbit hole of Linux on it around the 2015 mark because Windows 7 onwards was too much for it, and it always had overheating issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has HP printers always been this bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have a LaserJet 2200 and it will be pried from my cold dead hands. The plastic has gone brittle on some spots of it, and the front manual feed cover has long broken but it still dutifully works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracking on ad blockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For me personally, even when it’s to my detriment, I intentionally go out of my way to use Firefox because other than Safari, it’s the last major independent browser engine and I want to be at least one user of it, if it helps keep it relevant. That being said, I feel that Firefox might become more relevant and arguably already has because of crap like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My new favourite password manager⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be a KeePass user, but moved away because I was ultimately syncing the database using OneDrive, which I felt at that point it was a cloud password manager, which I didn’t like for being open to the internet and entrusting the security of the company hosting it.

  And yes, I moved to self hosted Vaultwarden with Tailscale and haven’t looked back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my gosh. I have been trying to figure this issue out with my docker containers for months. If this is the fix, THANK YOU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree, but where I have a problem (and I imagine a lot of other users here) is that you can’t fully opt out. You can only set “minimal” tracking but not none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it’s probably pretty demanding of the hardware but my Pi4 4GB runs:

  • Heimdall
  • Portainer
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flatnotes
  • ownCloud
  • FreshRSS
  • Paperless

  I always saw it as her just saying in her mind, “This. Statement. Is. False.” thus just being some four individual one word sentences.

  Was that Msushi? I think I heard that same fact from him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tutanota vs Proton Mail for daily use⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I use Proton for my mail needs but then Tutanota for my calendar. Perhaps something you could consider so your Tutanota account doesn’t get deleted.
