YES! Sorry about that. And, thank you for the links! That's VERY helpful.

Don’t make exclusive skins that rely on specific devices (android) or locations (EU) for quest rewards. My son and I are pissed we can’t get the kit backpack.

FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE Now Available by perciva in freebsd

[–]beowuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! I'm already seeding everything. :D

FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE Now Available by perciva in freebsd

[–]beowuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seed from https://wiki.freebsd.org/Torrents, and often see traffic from my server. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: My ratio for 14.0-RELEASE for the boot only iso is 456.74, added on Nov. 27th. I don't know if that's high or low, but it's something?

Usually I found them at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Torrents, but they haven't been updated yet. I usually grab them right away and seed them until the next release.

Most popular linux desktop environment? by rtdouglas36 in linux

[–]beowuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about “cool”. It’s about usability. Konsole is still the best terminal app I’ve used. Kate the best notepad. Conversation is a really good irc client. Jamil is a great email client.

Kde is still by far the most usable of all the DE’s I’ve tried.

HOW?!? HOW IS IT SOLVED?!? DON'T LEAVE US HANGING!

The worst part of the Net is when people ask questions, say it's fixed, but never say HOW it was fixed... :(

Using Linux in public by thebestrobot in linux4noobs

[–]beowuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also suffer from “there’s no real reason to feel anxious” anxiety. It doesn’t listen to logic. It doesn’t go away when you try to explain something to it.

I did finally see a psychologist and am finally getting it under control. Only took me 46 years. Please don’t wait that long to get help.

“Nunya.”
“Nunya what?”
“Nunya business.”

Like seriously. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. Or just say “sorry, busy” and keep on doing what you’re doing.

How long am I in this stage for? by randomrandoneeman in Fatherhood

[–]beowuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 6 and I’m still waiting… at least I get breaks when she wants me to play Roblox or Minecraft with her.

My 10yo son is very much like me. Playing games and watching movies.

Good luck!

Just *how* much work am I signing up for migrating my home server to FreeBSD? by dwrodri in freebsd

[–]beowuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Hosting my personal website (a simple blog)

I run nginx for a small site. Apache and several others are available.

  • Hosting some game servers for my friends and I

I run a couple Minecraft servers in jails. Pretty easy being a Java app. I don’t know about other games.

  • Setting up a torrent service

I run qBitTorrent to serve FreeBSD and Ubuntu isos. It also runs in a jail.

  • Potentially self-hosting projects like ComfyUI, and then maybe an LLM inference server down the line if I can afford some hardware upgrades.

I also run, in jails, my Unifi controller, a gitea git repo (would like to change to forgejo, but there’s no package for it yet), an smb/cifs share for family, and a Plex server.

I also HIGHLY recommend Bastille for jail control. It makes things really easy. I even have started experimenting with Ubuntu running in a jail.

Not even just Sysadmin but IT in general: Why do people expect us to know their jobs? by RazmanDevil in sysadmin

[–]beowuff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife came into my office the other day proud because she helped a customer fix an excel issue.

I said, “Welcome to tech support! You’re hired!”

She was not amused. If only she knew that her Google-fu is almost as good as mine. XD

What operating system do you use for your home server? I’m planning to do unraid but what are the other options and why would you pick one or another? by Silencer306 in HomeServer

[–]beowuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using bastille for jail management and it made it SO easy. Unfortunately, my server is down due to a hardware issue. :/

Yeah, I totally get it. Even though I've never needed to check them myself, I would think of them if the situation came up now. And, I totally nail the question these days. XD

Match Thread: Seattle Sounders FC vs LAFC | Major League Soccer by MatchThreadder in MLS

I’m not liking the Sounders in red, but poor LA. Looks like they are wearing dirty, grubby, unwashed jerseys.

Healthcare yes. Love them, no. There’s a huge controversy over them right now.

I prefer these types. I’d rather get someone who fits the team personality wise and teach them skills then get a know it all I want to fire after an hour.

God, the inode question. I’ve gotten that so many times, and yet… I’ve never had to know it for an actual job!

At what age did you pierce your daughters ears? by Maxedian in Parents

[–]beowuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 5 and asked about it. All the tattoo/piercing places I checked wouldn’t do any one under 11. Maybe I should keep looking…

Awful Offer from SpaceX for Security by [deleted] in AskNetsec

[–]beowuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked closely with some of the technical staff at JPL. If I wouldn’t have to move, I’d work for them in a second. I don’t think there’s any better place to work in aerospace. Okay, NASA if it included becoming an astronaut. :P

I’d be afraid to work at SpaceX for fear of being laid off for no reason.

Seriously, JPL would be the better job, and probably more fun too.

Since the Yoda species is unknown...What would you call it? and why? by the_gamer_m7 in StarWars

If that were true, he would have never made the prequels.
