From now on, I will [continue to] not use ChatGPT.

Not sure it has quite sunk in yet for Sarah that she is never going to be POTUS.

Almost time to drag out the banner again.

I’m still looking for a good solution that includes support for notes. I’m migrating off Exchange Online and using mailcow temporarily but the built in notes feature is sorely missed.

You can pull the fuse but this also disables Bluetooth iirc.

“Lets use Oracle DB for that.”

Statements made by the utterly deranged.

No. But there are a number of advantages of using PostgreSQL over the others.

Some of us are very sorry that our country, particularly our leadership, is a giant fuckwad and we would put a stop to it if we could.

He should resign as governor because I guarantee he does not have time to do both jobs at the same time.

That said, Trump received 60.22% of the popular vote in Louisiana in 2024 so I’m gonna guess they’re fine with it. Republican voters are usually fine with their politicians doing nothing to improve society. In fact, that’s kind of a selling point.

Those Protectli Vaults are neat little devices.

It definitely makes it more difficult to switch endpoints manually. I have multiple VPN connections with different exit nodes configured for failover in case one (or more) of them is unreachable. I don’t run into geoblocking issues very often but I also don’t route all my WAN traffic over VPN. Just some of it.

What you can automate depends on your routers capabilities. Mine is a Mikrotik which does have fairly extensive support for custom scripts. However, detecting Geoblocking is probably going to involve parsing HTTP responses which is beyond the capabilities of almost all consumer grade routers. You would have to effectively do a MITM attack (aka deep packet inspection) in order to accomplish that on something other than the client device.

TLDR: I manually change routes to a different VPN if needed but I very rarely run into Geoblocking issues.

I exclusively use my router as the VPN client for a few reasons. There are multiple services on my network that use the VPN. I’ve got static routes configured which effectively act as a kill switch and I can use QOS to prioritize traffic. It’s pretty much set it and forget it. You can use any VPN service as long at they offer a protocol your router supports. I use Proton via WireGuard and have for years.

Everyone else should just ignore us (the US) and tell Russia to fuck off. You probably don’t have to worry about us interfering too much since we’re too busy planning to lose a war with Venezuela.

The news has prompted scrutiny online, though there is no evidence of any connection between the award and prosecutors’ move to dismiss the charges.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

We begin to care about it as soon as it shows up as black sandy globs on the beach and sticks to our feet.

Why not just use what you have until you can afford to and/or need to upgrade? SAS drives are more expensive because they typically offer higher performance and reliability. Hardware raid may be “old” but it’s still very common. The main risk with it is that if your raid card fails, you’ll have to replace it with the same model if you don’t want to rebuild your server from scratch.

I’ve been running an old Dell PowerEdge for several years with no issues.

Ok. There’s clearly been some instances corruption and that warrants concern. On the other hand, this article seems to lack …uh… situational awareness. Foreign countries trying to micromanage the aid they’re providing Ukraine while the country is fighting a full scale war is assinine.

That’s like having to deal with FEMA (which is a huge pain in the ass) while a tornado is ripping through your living room and you’re just trying to not die.

US Farmers having the day they voted for:
