If there was a way I could leverage the unlimited bandwidth/storage as an offsite backup, that would be amazing, but I’m not sure it would be a great idea backing up stuff to a webserver where there best security I can add it via an .htaccess file.

Your off-site backup solution shouldn’t have to care about that level of security because you should be encrypting your backups before they leave your network. Even if you have a solid backup host in the cloud, you still want to encrypt your backup data before you send it to their hosted repo.

Unless your vendor has a reason to read your backups, they shouldn’t be able to.

Look into FileFlows, I used that after my tdarr server shit the bed to act as my conversion utility for my media libraries. Done a very good job of transcoding my Library into a consistent format.

If you have any inclination to use docker, they offer a generator to make the compose file for you

most people manage just fine getting exes online

Spoken like someone who has never had to support tech illiterate people who install software they find online.

Insta is still owned by meta, so it’s all under the same roof.

I am continuously amazed at how far cowards will go to be able to carry their metal binky with them anywhere and everywhere they go.

Looking over your licensing model, I noticed this

The following systems are classified as enterprise operating systems within XPipe and connections to those systems are only possible starting from the professional plan:

• Windows Enterprise systems

What do you classify as an ‘enterprise’ system? Is that any server OS, or just like a datacenter license or something?

And then you give it more and more information, but it keeps giving you the exact same answer.

To be fair, 20 years ago your computer would have choked doing 1/10th the stuff either one of those apps do today. Hell, I still remember writing a prank program that would lock up my school computers because I made it beep too fast.

Experian does it with every. single. login. Really fucking annoying when you have to login multiple times for thawing and whatnot when necessary.

Omfg, one of my banks did this to me and was infuriating. I was able to call in to fix it and made a bug report, but goddamn, what idiot silently truncates the sign up password but not also the login form?!?

Specifically, spitting on a dick.

My wife will. She regularly falls asleep to streams on YouTube and has to rewind to the part she fell asleep to.

I’d be interested to see if you swapped the cables back if your local interface negotiated to FE instead of GE. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that you’ve got a pair that’s not properly terminated or broken and dropping you down to 100Mbps.

Man, I’m super glad I gave up on kbin at Christmas and migrated when I still had access to everything.

Sorry to hear you lost your community, but I’d be lying if I said this was a surprising outcome. Even back then people were seeing the writing on the wall with ernest’s personal issues, and personal issues are fine and we all have to deal with it. But as someone who has tried to run microservices for friends, I could tell he was less than a year from just turning the servers off.

Here’s hoping you can at least partially resurrect your community. And that ernest is able to get to a good place.

Thanks, I hate it.

LOL, as a noob I went with caddy, then traefik before settling on NPM. Ironically, all the “QoL” features people brag about just made base configs harder and lead to shit randomly failing.

NPM has been solid as a rock, even if I have to do slightly more work, it’s more reliable and does what I want quicker and easier than the alternative.

Yep, that’s what happened to mine. The jacket frayed until the wire got out and strangled itself. My 502 is still rocking strong after 5+ years, but here’s hoping your g5 sticks around for a while, that was a great mouse.

I had a G5 for close to a decade and I miss that heavy little bugger. I’ve got a G502 right now and its rather good, but the max weight isn’t as heavy as my old one.
