You really need to tell Mom to stop spamming you.

Yep, instant sync is never a guarantee. There still has to be a queue for command messages along with authentication plus authorization of said commands. And just like you said, you must be connected to a network that then can reach their cloud to even receive the command queue.

I run a sync service between multiple Active Directory domains as a result of a merger and the directories haven’t been cutover yet. Along with this sync is a password sync that is normally instant. Most of the times (> 90%), less than a second. Sometimes 3 seconds. Other times? 2 minutes. Even when things are within the same LAN, there’s the possibility of a backed up queue.

So yeah, this is purely on him trusting the sync implicitly and not verifying. In my case, I trust it too but will on occasion have to assist users because it’s not infallible. Karma got him and I have zero sympathy.

The funny thing is, it’s not actually hidden if you know how to see them. Just throw “/likes” after a profile. They only hid the fucking button.

That’s what 25 years in IT did for me.

Yeah I’ve done both LFS and Gentoo stage 1 before and it’s a fun learning exercise. Too bad the stage 1 isn’t a supported option anymore afaik.

I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it’s pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there’s some things lacking.

Because no one addressed it yet, you won’t be able to use Game Pass at all on Linux (unless you’re using the streaming service). There’s no way of making that work currently, and may never be a way. But for most everyone else? Most things just work out of the gate with no tweaking. But for things that don’t, use https://protondb.com

Btw, I use Arf.

Lol oh I never said it’s a good solution. The worst part isn’t running IIS, it’s running IIS on a domain controller. The better option is using a different domain for AD than your web domain, as long as it’s a publicly registered domain for certificate purposes.

Hilariously, I bet it’s because their Active Directory domain is the same as their public domain, and it becomes a massive pain in the ass to hostname the root domain. Yes, externally you can do it just fine, but then it’s not consistent internally on their private network.

One solution is you run IIS (or any other web server) purely as a permanent redirect for the internal host, but it would then need to run on each domain controller which brings its own set of issues.

I have to say, I like your hardware.

I never got far at all in 16, but not because I didn’t enjoy it. I just got stuck in a rut last summer and stopped gaming entirely for a couple months and just didn’t pick it up again. Maybe when I finish Rebirth in another 100 hours I’ll jump back to that lol.

6 though? Have loved that one for a very long time though I may have taken longer to finish it than most anyone ever. Way back when it released as FF3 on SNES, a friend bought it and played for a short while but let me borrow it. I played the hell out of it and had something like 80 hours into it (not sure if I just sucked or idled a lot, don’t ask haha). I had made it to right before the final dungeon. But then my friend wanted it back and I said sure, with the intent of finishing it at his house the next time I spent the weekend there gaming, which was common.

Right after I gave it back, his cousin wanted to give it a try and the very first thing he did was delete my save. I watched him do it and just had no words. He didn’t realize I hadn’t finished and wasn’t trying to be an ass, but it just crushed me.

I never went back to play it again until the 2015 release on Steam. Played it on probably 2016. So a minimum 21 years, maybe 22. Lol

Considering they are putting out a monthly subscription for access to all DLC? Yeah this thought is very valid.

Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

Pretty much. Being liberal myself, it drives me insane seeing the absolute triple people will buy into. Websites aren’t the things to target, let’s look at things like cruise ships and transitioning to renewable energy.

Report it to spamcop.net and/or dnsbl.info so they actually get thrown into email blacklists.

I almost bought OGSL many years ago too until I realized there was no damn chance I’d need the sharing functions anyhow lol… But same deal happened to me with aCar. Was a great app for tracking all my car mileage, service, expenses, fill-ups, etc, but even though I paid for lifetime unlock, that’s no longer valid. Such a crock of shit.

Same, I do that. I have it integrated into Todoist which Alexa is also tied into, so I can manage it from voice commands or the app all the same. I don’t need a very complicated set of features in the lists themselves, but I’ve found that if I can use voice commands while cooking, I’m far more likely to remember to buy things I need as I use them up.

Explain-explain, like-like

Yeah, I’m not a novice to Linux in general, but it was my first time using Arch. Was testing it out after many years of admin of Ubuntu servers and then trying OpenSUSE for gaming. I don’t think I could ever leave Arch now, it’s just so easy to maintain and I finally get the hype.
