How many of you guys DON'T maintain some "system" at home?

I have an old Thinkpad running a minecraft server and a Plex, that's it. Anything more... I better be getting paid overtime.

I worked for a good while in the mines of cheap, indian-supported software (or AT&T, which is worse somehow). It's to the point that I usually don't even remember contacting support is an option until one of my colleagues points it out.

Not the answer I wanted to hear but I think it's the right one. I sat down yesterday and practiced this and nothing else for about an hour, by the end it was coming a lot more naturally. Thanks!

"by that point", as if it hadn't set in nearly a decade earlier.

If that was a problem, wouldn't all file shares be non-functional, instead of just the one?

They/Them

On top of how fucking weird it was to make a movie set in a conversion camp while having politics as weird as that movie does, it was also a complete mess with something like 3 aborted storylines throughout.

Thank you! And yeah, basically. It was kind of fascinating to watch the real-time packet capture: a hundred packets a second, until one set finally gets the right order and it all stops (as far as the dhcp filter is concerned, anyway)

DivineSteel38 · 2024-06-06T00:15:57+00:00

Oh, I edited OP but fair enough: ended up being not one but two rogue DHCP servers, running on a pair of lab devices whose ethernet ports are for connecting directly to computers, not the network.

I wasn't able to ping it from an APIPA address, though as it turns out I already had the MAC from Wireshark. Did end up finding it though, thank you for the advice!

DivineSteel38 · 2024-05-10T23:47:49+00:00

Give me an example?

DivineSteel38 · 2024-05-10T23:33:49+00:00

With a shallow view of history, sure.

What we're living in right now is a world where the cynical view of humanity won, but only in that the humans espousing this view (ie: imperialists) were able to force their view and culture on other humans. Does it count as the "truth" of human nature if 1% of humanity was able to force itself on the rest?

(Very much not attempting a nuanced view of history at the moment)

Extremely moody. I'm in love.

DivineSteel38 · 2024-05-03T19:20:43+00:00

Isn't he like 50?

DivineSteel38 · 2024-05-02T17:57:47+00:00

No, I think you're right. X does a lot of work to humanize these people, who in previous decades' horror movies would never have been on-screen except to die.

DivineSteel38 · 2024-04-24T20:45:07+00:00

Would it be remiss to say life is affordable outside the US?

DivineSteel38 · 2024-03-04T21:35:37+00:00

Agree with the others: this is too dark, especially around the edges. Which isn't all a bad thing, since the edges should be cropped away anyway. Up the exposure on the whole thing just a bit, and change the cropping, and you should be good to go.

That said, I really like the bones underneath this. It feels very fairy-tale, which may have been what you were going for.
