I am glad you have fond memories of it. I had to support them in a business environment so my perspective is somewhat different, lol.

Damn. I read Compaq Presario and suddenly tasted bile. I’d almost forgotten about them.

They screwed up their upgrade script in the release around then. I spent an hour manually fixing it on my system. I’d imagine they sorted it with a point release shortly after but I haven’t checked.

And the one you make at home is always better anyway. Just requires more labor.

Interesting article. The headline is not clickbait. I’ve only been using Linux as a daily driver for about 18 months but I learned something from the issues he laid out.

It sounds like you’re having trouble containing yourself.

I’ve been hosting my own email servers for 20 years without issue. But email systems were a huge part of my IT career so it was easy.

It works great if you have static IPs and know what you’re doing in terms of following best practices. If you’re missing those two things you’re going to have a bad time.

If you have the statics and want to learn, I’d recommend purchasing a test domain and getting the kinks worked out before you move a domain you care about to your own system.

I’m just here for the free donuts.

M’distro!

I need to get a new VPN setup. Been using OpenVPN through OPNsense for years but I’m fed up with the abysmal performance of the OpenVPN client on iOS. Open to suggestions but it has to be fully self hosted.

sudo = shut up dammit, obey!

The right drugs will get you a real girlfriend.

I guess you are saying you only run Kodi? Yes it is Kodi with the jellyfin plugin talking to a jellyfin server that is the source of the few woes I have with it. Honestly it works really well, but when something is wrong I would say due to the UI it’s beyond most non-technical people to sort it out easily.

Yeah, they’ve got that recorded, too.
