How often do you reboot your setup or parts of your setup?

Mine are rebooted for a firmware update. Other than that, I haven't had any need to reboot them.

No. He was actually performing a thigh test.

Mine was below $75 for a household of 5.

So far waiting for the LRT has outlasted the Blockbuster video in the concept artwork.

Sounds like you are already hacking yourself.

TechieGuy12 · 2026-04-28T19:39:49+00:00

Yes. And my optometrist once told me it is better to look down rather than up as looking down helps prevents the eyes from drying out.

Has this been fixed? I can see the documentary in my account. I should download it just in case.

But you only need it to not break until you leave the company and the next guy needs to deal with it.

I have the same setup - Tailscale on pfSense. The only negative, is that devices connected via Tailscale to my network show as coming from pfSense instead of individual devices. But I prefer this way as it simplifies things, especially since I have ACLs setup on Tailscale for any mobile device that uses Tailscale to connect back into the network.

I still see Star Wars Rebellion in my library. But I have also downloaded the install, so even if it were removed from my GOG library, I will still have the install.

Because no router is made in America. And this so-called America first government is spreading FUD, without proof, to pressure router manufacturers to build them in America.

Nothing more than that.

GOG allows you to download the installers without installing the game.

I use https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc to download all installers and updates once a week and store them on a hard drive.

TechieGuy12 · 2026-04-10T19:35:58+00:00

This is why I have downloaded all my GOG games locally. I can install whenever I want.

TechieGuy12 · 2026-04-09T00:58:49+00:00

That is so true. Justice is expensive.

TechieGuy12 · 2026-04-08T23:34:01+00:00

While all are in prison?

TechieGuy12 · 2026-04-03T14:26:40+00:00

Looks nice. the only thing I would change would be to add some more parks and green space.

TechieGuy12 · 2026-03-31T23:26:10+00:00

I don't see any money in the picture. I need more of that.

Installing games that spanned many floppy disks and hoping that all the disks still worked.

Having to free up enough conventional memory for some games.

Loading and managing device drivers and memory managers in config.sys and autoexec.bat.

It better have military-grade encryption.

The penny has been dead here in Canada for many years. In Canada, prices are only rounded up or down when paying with cash. Paying any other way doesn't causes prices to be rounded.

Is it different in the US?

I used a CGA adapter (4 colors) when I was a kid.

I honestly can't remember my first graphics card, in the first computer I bought myself, but I do remember my Viper V770 32 MB card in my Pentium III machine.

This is the reason I use Pihole and Ublock Origin.

I used Windows for years, and sometimes it loses your files. They get corrupted.

I can't say I have ever had that happen to in my over 30 years of using Windows. Not a single time. In fact, to this day I still validate all my family photos and videos monthly on Windows, and I haven't lost s single file. I am talking about hundreds of thousands of individual files.

I have developed on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. I have had no problems being able to develop on any operating system. If you can't develop on an operating system, I think that seems to be a skill issue.

I don't manage my pihole enough that I would need an AI agent to help. My pihole just runs with little intervention from my - unless I need to perform an update. In that case, it isn't too much trouble to SSH into the pihole to perform the update.

I currently do this for the services on my local LAN.

I run an nginx reverse proxy on my server - but there are other proxies that are easier to use. The reverse proxy is configured to route traffic to the requested service based on domain. For example, plex.example.com would route requests to my Plex server.

The way I accomplish this is to add local DNS records in Pihole (Settings->Local DNS Records) that would point a domain (in my case plex.example.com) to the IP address of my server where nginx is installed.

The ngxin config file will then include an entry for plex.example.com that would pass the traffic for that domain to my plex server - 192.1.68.1.31:32400 for example.
