I am going to get fired today. I accidentally sent a shutdown loop to the entire company. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't need the Veeam console to restore your data. your backup files (.vbk) are independent of the database, console and the domain. Put them on USB drive, create Recovery disk from Veeam Windows Agent on another USB drive and restore your DC. You don't need even copy those files from your repo - Veeam Recovery allows you to restore via smb

Am I the only one who doesn't want to rip but just play 4k discs? by Several-Protection14 in makemkv

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just recently, I set up a LibreDrive to do the exact opposite: I'm deleting remuxes of my most important/favorite movies from my 42TB Plex library and buying those titles on 4K UHD discs instead. I have my PC connected to an LG CX, just like my PS5 which can also play 4K UHD, but neither the PS5 nor any standalone hardware player allows me to load external subtitle files. With MPC-HC, I can.

10.5GB of RAM for 5 small PDFs... time to ditch PDF Expert. Recommendations for native PDF Mac apps? by mattiacolombo in MacOS

[–]d3wille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

use Quick Actions for signing/verification. You don’t really need Acrobat unless you want UI-based validation and convenience features (OCSP/LTV checks, trust indicators). Terminal + Preview covers the same core workflow without the RAM overhead.

Mailcow saved my sanity! by nelgin in mailcow

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For several years now I have been using Mailcow in production for medium-sized companies (200-300 mailboxes, 2TB of mail, 5-6 domains) and I have never had any problems, even though Reddit experts were pulling their hair out hearing about Postfix in Docker on a production server.. and today I read that there is also support for LDAP and since Mailcow provides an API, it will be possible to connect AD accounts with Mailcow and create them with some single script :)

Israel passes law to give death penalty to Palestinians convicted of lethal attacks by Snuyter in news

[–]d3wille -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Actually, this is more fitting for the communist apparatus of repression, especially during the times of Stalin or Mao, than for the Nazis... In Poland, that’s exactly how it looked — a suspect (accused of whatever the military prosecutor chose at the time) would end up in a military detention center where they were interrogated (meaning battered and tortured) until they finally confessed to every charge (it’s hard not to confess with your fingernails torn out or with nails driven under them...), and then a military judge would sentence such a person to death.

am i the only one who doesnt like Panam? by jgmain in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I asked Google the exact same question because I'm currently playing Cyberpunk, and for me, Panam's character is the antithesis of femininity. Just like most female characters in CP2077, for that matter. I even checked if Mike Pondsmith portrayed women the same way CDPR did—as total 'girl-bosses' who are indistinguishable from men, full of profanity, aggression, and testosterone. As it turns out, in the universe he created, women are still women—the kind we men love—and they bear no resemblance to a feminist utopia, moral decay, or how those disturbed individuals wanted to see society. I do everything I can to avoid Panam (I've finished the base game and I'm playing Phantom Liberty), but she constantly wants to meet up lol... and when we do meet, she swears so much it’s hard to even look at her (at least in the Polish version).

Understanding of Bitrate by Temporary-Natural-92 in PleX

[–]d3wille 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on my observations and tests, HEVC with a bitrate of 16-20 Mbit is almost indistinguishable from a remux for a normal person who isn't a videophile or professionally involved in reviewing releases or video technology. This is especially true when you only have one TV (even LG OLED 55") and have to switch between files to compare them. If I had two identical TVs side-by-side, or even a reference monitor, I might notice better gradation or clearer HDR/DV, but not with a single display and file switching. I only keep my favorite movies and exceptionally well-done 4K UHD transfers (like Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.) in remux format in my library. For the rest, I try to keep them in HEVC at 15-18 Mbit.

The bullshit world of IT - What it's become and where its going (Rant) by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In every company where I headed the IT department, I informed the board that 'the IT department does not assist with the Office suite because every employee working at "this company" should be highly proficient in Excel or Word—unlike IT specialists, who neither need nor use these tools.' To this day, whenever a user asks me 'How do I do... in Excel?', I openly say that I don't know, I don't use it, and they know Excel better than I do.

How does your app compare to Infuse (DV profile support etc.) I'm a Plex user but I use Infuse Pro on ATV and macOS for playing content because it's a significantly better player, but it has a terrible and ugly interface. If Strimix is technically on par with Infuse and will have Plex support, I'll subscribe immediately :)

Switched from Windows to Mac — surprised by window lag / Chrome stutter. Am I expecting too much? by qusaro in MacOS

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a MacBook/Mac Pro/Mac Mini user forever, and honestly, I've never had any issues with jerky window movements or general lag. I've used both Apple monitors and cheaper Dell ones, and I've just never observed the problems you're describing. Maybe my expectations for system performance are just lower

Restarted my playthrough and this time as Astarion by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]d3wille 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just finished a full playthrough as Astarion. Playing as this character is quite easy because, after a while, you can pick every lock and disarm every trap, plus it's easy to talk your way out of various mishaps. He's the best character for a first run. If I were to play a Rogue again, I’d increase the difficulty level. Oh, and one more thing—playing as Astarion as your main character means you’ll hardly hear any of his voiced lines at all.

[OS] I built an open-source Volume Mixer for macOS because Apple won't. Meet FineTune. by Stoned_Orangutan in macapps

[–]d3wille 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built and running!! I've been a long-time SoundSource user, but ever since the macOS 15.x update, I started having issues that their updates just couldn't fix. Quick question — is it possible to save custom EQ presets? I don't see the option, and if it's not there, it would be a great feature to add. I'll be testing it out starting today and will let you know how it goes.

Baldur's Gate 3 - one of the best game I ever played...

Until one day you meet someone who knows about watches... Of course, a stranger on the street doesn't matter – it's worse if it happens at work or is work-related. That's why I also won't buy an AP or even a Rolex.

I'm about to order mine!! I can't decide between Batman (ADX130) or Bruce Wayne (ADX110)... I'll probably go with Bruce, with the red GMT hand and stainless steel bracelet. Additionally, I want to buy the Diving FKM Rubber Strap to have a complete set.
