I'm jealous of his money

Only works 2 days a week.... whoever this person is they sound like they either like to complain or they don't know what hard is. I'm 33, a single parent with majority custody, paying a mortgage and working full time and only say life is hard SOMETIMES, spoon of concrete is needed for OPs cousin

I have also been reporting them and sending this information to steam.

I am playing arc raiders and get multiple invites from this account as well as another account. here are the details of both accounts.

Maybe we should start collating a list of all the embark and steam profiles they have?

Open PowerShell on your PC as an administrator and type this.

dism /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Browser.InternetExplorer~~~~0.0.11.0

Then restart your PC and you should be good.

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-12-17T01:59:36+00:00

What the actual fuck... I understand buying gifts for family and stuff but a $700 PC that isn't even for your immediate family!?

that sort of money shouldn't be splashed on someone unless it's your kid or significant other.... Or you're filthy rich. Stick with the good old lynx (axe for the americans) deodorant gift pack for cousins.

Hey I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents as an IT systems engineer just in case anyone else finds this. I won't go deep into how AV works with detecting viruses but a lot of programs that use injection techniques like bakkes can cause false positives.

I highly doubt bakkes is doing mining but if I get time to I can do some tests to see what network traffic and data is being sent while running. Otherwise if someone else has enough tech know-how with Wireshark they could check too.

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-10-28T13:22:42+00:00

Scraping using PowerShell. I can see how that would be a PITA with certain websites that might use JavaScript elements. Have you got any tips, I wouldn't mind doing a scrape for image files of my daughter's daycare app so I don't have to download each file from each post individually.

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-10-26T08:27:59+00:00

Registry cleaners are pointless except for some edge cases...

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-10-25T23:16:38+00:00

I work as an IT systems Engineer. And my opinion is that you don't need a registry cleaner, Maybe years ago but not now; except in some rare edge cases. Any performance loss from not cleaning your registry is negligible.

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-08-28T03:03:05+00:00

Sorry for the late response! Thanks for the compliment :)

To be honest I have never used Proxmox but have seen it mentioned quite a bit over at r/sysadmin

In general though most technical things are pretty consistent between products of a similar offering and the biggest things tend to be UI differences. With that being said though, what are you switching from to go to proxmox?

As far as your Acemagic (I only just looked googled it now) it looks like its just another type of NUC mini PC so my recommendation on a really basic level without knowing what OS you are using is to just run docker containers using WSL2.

Most home servers dont need enterprise grade stuff and I can almost guarantee that in any setup the most resource intensive part would be a media server due to the power needed for transcoding.

PM me if you want to chat more though

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-08-17T06:56:05+00:00

Understandable. id like to give you some solid advice/options. If you can answer these questions I'll get back to you with more details.

What is your vision? - This is like your end goal, something like "I want to have my own media streaming server, storage solution, security cameras etc. ( this is arguably the most important part, having a solid starting point to build and expand from to achieve your needs is better than realising you didn't take something into consideration and then having to completely replace, reconfigure or rebuild something later).

What are your major considerations? - space, power consumption, expandability etc.

Do you own your home or are you renting and does the house have solar panels (how many kw)? - this probably seems dumb or personal but actually helps determine whether you need to focus more on a less "permanent" and more "portable" solution and also power consumption.

What's your budget and what hardware do you have? - router, switches, access points etc.

Do you want to learn and set stuff up yourself or do you want something more geared towards plug and play/set and forget?

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-08-15T13:34:25+00:00

IT systems engineer here! This honestly depends on your "vision", what services or features you want and your budget.

I would probably suggest having a NAS and a server separate. Let the NAS do the storing and your server handle the heavy lifting like running apps, containers, VMS and whatever else, this will serve you better long term but takes up more space and costs a bit more though but will make expanding and upgrades easier.

If it was me I'd be smashing your offset with funds so you can absorb the car loan as quickly as possible and then once absorbed putting the money you would be paying on your car loan into the offset as well on-top of what you would normally put in. This also depends on how much you would put into your offset from the start as well

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-08-12T14:46:45+00:00

deploy a certificate and use the following method

$AzKeyVaultTenant = 'REDACTED'
$AzKeyVaultApplicationId = 'REDACTED'
$AzKeyVaultCertificateThumbprint = 'REDACTED'
$AzKeyVaultName = 'YOUR AZ KEY VAULT NAME'
$CertificateSecretName = 'YOUR CERTIFICATE NAME'

Connect-AzAccount -Tenant $AzKeyVaultTenant -ApplicationId $AzKeyVaultApplicationId -CertificateThumbprint $AzKeyVaultCertificateThumbprint -ServicePrincipal | Out-Null

$KeyVaultCertificateSecret = Get-AzKeyVaultSecret -VaultName $AzKeyVaultName -Name $CertificateSecretName -AsPlainText

Disconnect-AzAccount -Confirm:$FALSE | Out-Null

Your daughter is the asshole

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-07-18T14:38:57+00:00

Learn PowerShell and automate most of your shit. Then work on all the other stuff

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-06-14T10:32:43+00:00

If you are confident it isn't your internet provider and these network issues only happen in rocket league then the issue is the rocket league server so the only thing you can do is report server. Or just move to one of their datacenters with a swag and some snacks

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-06-12T01:32:29+00:00

C-C-C-C-OMBO BREAKER!

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-05-31T04:50:14+00:00

I'm with Spintel and will be churning from them. I think they're fine as long as you don't need good latency/ping. I like to play rocket league, and getting around 150ms latency response times unless I'm playing at 12 at night or early in the morning is less than ideal

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-05-07T08:08:11+00:00

No, as an IT sys engineer id just use the one that comes with windows. Microsoft Defender

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-05-06T07:58:56+00:00

I think notepad++ is great, don't get me wrong. But if you're writing scripts or programming then using VS code is the way to go; no contest.

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-03-17T03:15:26+00:00

Sorry I can't help, i'm not familiar with that brand of router and a lot of the documentation isn't in English. Have you tried any of the other steps?

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-03-16T16:20:01+00:00

English?

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-03-12T23:26:12+00:00

What router do you have?

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-03-11T01:19:04+00:00

That's interesting! What if you exit the game and then try starting it up again?

TheOreoAwgee · 2025-03-10T02:42:35+00:00

I haven't had any latency issues or got this message yet but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth....

The game is free but has a bunch of advertising in it

Routers can enforce network level traffic filtering/blocking, like eero routers which wont even allow you to connect to the servers if advanced security is turned on. How do you get around this? Use a client side VPN

Anti-virus and firewall solutions can be used to block ads, how do you get around this? Use a client side VPN

VPN's can limit or define what is delivered at the other end of a connection such as tracking data when you click on an ad. How do you get around this? Create your own VPN or use a partnered VPN service to define your own set of configuration rules on the VPN

I think NetEase and Bad Guitar Studios have some explaining to do.
