I would do option A, but instead of just not using the free internet, I would use it for everything else not needing server services. So like streaming or general browsing.

Just leaving the Google fiber as a dedicated pipe for all my self hosted services

You can do this kind of split with pfSense easily

A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

Wait, you guys are turning off your laptops?

I’m going through it rn for Proxmox, it’s a pain in the ass.

I think it was better a tad on ESXi, but VMware stuff is a non starter for me at this point.

Because Apple always gotta fuck with and “innovate” perfectly working shit

Windows’s built-in tool can make zips without fucking with shit AND the resulting zip works just fine across systems.

Mac though…Mac produced zips always ALWAYS give me issues when trying to unzip on a non-mac (ESPECIALLY Linux)

Meh it’s a meg, not like it’s the good ol dial up days where you’d sit there and have to wait for a few hundred KBs of a pic to load line by line LMAO

This incident will be reported

Ig we could memes about snap or something lmao

It did more than “a few colors”, compared to today’s fancy modern theming systems it was def rudimentary, but with a single click Win 98 would change colors, the cursor, the entire sound pallette and even button images iirc. I was particularly fond of the Computer theme and the Space theme lol

Windows used to actually have cool theming capabilities in Windows 98 (And I think ME/2000) what the hell happened to that LMAO

Well shit, and it even has a pre built magisk module

Aaaand installed lmao

747.41kW, or around six and a quarter NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks. Max power consumption was rated for around 1.75MW.

I think my electric company would pay me a visit if I fired that bad boy up in my house lmao, to bad the auction closed already. Oh and it closed at 480k lmfaooo

Especially modern macOS, macOS has become…too distrustful of the user IMO. Maybe even as a pathway to getting their user base used to a locked down OS on a Desktop/Laptop for future expansion of that walled garden.

Sure, windows has system accounts with permissions levels above admin, like SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, like macOS. But the difference is you can take control of one of these “Uber Admin Accounts”, macOS does not.

SSDs were properly destroyed

I hate when companies do this, SSDs do not need to be shredded, there’s no security benefit whatsoever. You don’t even need to do the whole “write 0s/random data X times” like with HDDs. So damn wasteful ugh.

Windows warning is like the check engine light in your car, ignore till it starts being a problem lmao

The Coderator 4000!

Pfft as if, P&F would write Linux entirely from scratch for “reasons” making it the best version of Linux ever seen and the proceed to take over the entire OS landscape in a matter of hours

Depends on your perspective, I’m sure the guys who got a 30 minute on the clock break weren’t complaining about poor IT policies lol

I’ve done something similar, “Oh shit, gotta take a break boss, computer decided it wanted to update, fuckin windows amirite?”

NGL I was THIS close to actually looking into trying nixos out, I mean the concept is intriguing.

But after seeing that…

I feel like it was just a few months ago someone else was asking this very similar thing, including wanting to handle payment processing themselves as well.

Seriously OP, do not do payment processing on your own unless you already have experience with going through PCI compliance. And if you did, you would already have made the decision to off load it to an actual payment processer lmao

Don’t be a hero, offload payment processing to a third-party.
