When I saw the hell in a cell reference I got a little excited. Then slightly sad

I once got locked out of an HP printer because it chopped off the last few characters of a password. Only figured it out because somebody had made a comment online about password length

It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

There are two types connection in this scenario

1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

Except for that time I took out the battery because it was swollen and took the screen off to help with cooling. At least I still have my K and M

Copy paste is easy. You just tap on the, no wait you tap on the, fuck hold on. You tap, there we are, on the word and hold until it highlights. No wait hold on. Fuck. There we are. Ok now you tap on the highlighted word to copy, fuck wait Ah fuck it just type it again yourself

I still come across DCs where time drift happens because of poorly configured VMs

“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…

In our company I’m friends with one of the lead devs. He once told me “no matter what way you look at it, excel is never the answer” lol I’m sure he was a bit biased, but I’ve seen my fair share of macro-ridden abominations over the years

And now for something completely different…

You can either set a DHCP reservation in your router, or manually set the IP on the device.

When I say private IP, I’m referring to the internal IP e.g 192.168.1.X

Means internally I just go to the domain without having to remember the IP I set.

I don’t even bother with the internal DNS server. I just set my A records in Cloudflare to point to the private IPs

Who said it was better? It’s just my favourite.

Like my favourite shirt, it’s no better than the others, but it brings me a little joy :)

• on a serious note though, thank you for sharing your two examples - I didn’t know they existed.

Also my favourite way to push a core to 100% CPU

My money is on it being part of the ticketing computer’s programming.

That’s exactly what I want in a situation like that, the crew to respond like it’s any other Tuesday.

See!!! This is why communism is bad!! Since you’ve started turning everything to the left, it’s all come apart!!

Anybody got slink to the kickstarter / article for those of us curious but unable to see the video? (Or even a product name)

The PC might be yours, but that virtual machine is Microsoft’s little bitch
