The Model M IS the weapon

who want their Fedussy broke

The salutation for System Administrator day is “Happy System Administrator Day! Hey, since I’ve got you here do you think you can <insert task here>”

The customary reply is “Thanks! I’ll add it to my list”

If dragons aren’t real, how come you see them in popular media so much? where do the film makers get them? Oh, they used a computer to make them?

Sounds like dragon denier talk

The perfect mint to pop after having just brushed your teeth

My router, (a TP-Link, can’t remember the exact model) will still list itself in the list of nameservers even if I just specify the pihole. Since I can’t seem to find anywhere in the router’s interface to turn that behavior off, I’ve resorted to using the pihole as DHCP as well.

But yeah, usually you can just use whatever DHCP server you have already

I still can’t listen to “time is on my side” without thinking of this movie. 10/10 gave me nightmares as a kid

When I first noticed the memes, I looked at the account making them and it was less than a day old. I just figured they had an axe to grind or it was an election season bot and blocked the account, lol.

It requires your pihole to act as DHCP server as well. From what I can tell, Roku is hard-coded to use whatever address is handed out. It’s easily responsible for 60% of the blocked domains on my pihole.

If you don’t have admin access to the ISP router, your only recourse is to put a consumer router behind it (You’d just hook up the consumer router’s internet port to one of the LAN ports on the ISP router) and connect all of your devices to that. That way you can disable the DHCP server on the router and enable it on the pihole.

I just switched my aging gaming rig to Linux over the Xmas break. One more grain of sand to add to the pile!

If it makes you feel better, the agency representing the class action will be paid handsomley

Silly me, not thinking of the poor little corporations again

What’s unsafe is having to navigate a giant fischer price interface whenever you want to adjust the A/C

Ages ago when I was in college, I had a little Brother laser printer. It was more than enough, as I was only printing B&W documents. It was wireless and you could easily get a few thousand pages per toner cartridge. Hell it even did duplex via a special duplex tray on the front. I loved that little thing, and eventually gave it away when I graduated as I basically stopped using it. If I ever find myself in a situation where I need to buy a printer, Brother is the only brand on my list.

Also, the lights would flicker whenever I fired it up, lol! that baby drew a lot of power.

Little Jimmy wanted to try Fedora, But little Jimmy is no more. For what he thought was his external drive, was actually his cerebral core

Agreed, it’s a waste environmentally, on my pocket book, waste of time (do you have to babysit this thing while it’s updating?) and is unnecessary wear and tear on the engine.

The electrics stay on on my car when you turn the engine off, until you open the door. I don’t see why that behavior can’t be overridden until the update is done, and then turn itself off.

To be fair it’s a pretty cool way to describe an engine

The beast goes by many names

OMG I was obsessed with this game! I didn’t realize it was still around

Ahh, the bad old days where you’d do a clean install and windows would be an absolute basket case until you manually installed every driver. And then after all that you’d still have one unknown device in device manager that you’d pull your hair out trying to find drivers for.

Now you can install windows, do a windows update, and everything is good to go 90% of the time. And don’t get me started on linux, we’ve never been closer to “it just works” than we are today.
