please don't do this to your synology

leave it to serve files and iscsi. it's very good at it

if you leave it alone, no extra software, it will basically be completely stable. it's really impressive

not just not care, a lot of companies actively hate what you are doing :-(

as you say, cutthroat

Specifically looking for non-growth mindset, non-toxic, normal jobs. If you work weekends, please move along. If you grind people against each other in weird secretive stack ranking exercises, please also move along.

I'm nice, helpful, communicative, and open, and I would like to work in a place that expects that. Please.

Weirdly, Windows Server is a better desktop experience.

It does not ask you to play Candy Crush, for example.

use rust or go, please

single binary, no complex deps, ftw

shared libs happened because memory was scarce

pretty cool that we are undoing it as a design decision

but it will take a long time

an economist sees a 20 dollar note on the floor. Doesn't pick it up. If it was there, someone would have picked it up already.

maybe you're running a reverse proxy? it can direct you differently depending on how you refer to it

I think you're being a bit unfair here. Apple does care about security and privacy. It's part of their culture.

i like octopus' style too

but i called them to sign up, and they told me my house was two apartments. it isn't. it never has been. and when i asked them to update their data, the operator said that isn't something she can do.

i would be a customer otherwise. sigh.

Zyxel and Fast Networks are also good on the ISP side (Not sure Fast Networks is still a thing - website seems to be down - but I run one of their DSLAMs and am happy with it)

not really

i so desperately want it to work, but it messes up often enough that it's not worth it yet

fwiw, using local intellij with nfs mounted source is a better experience

if you have any twisted pair (or even untwisted):

Works well for me (600mbit down / 400mbit up, over a single pair of cat 3)

I would try two things:

(1) Running gigabit ethernet over the cat 5. Maybe it works?

(2) Look at GFast. I run a GFast service in my apartment block. We have Cat 3 (yes, 3!) cable. We can do 500mbit. You would need to buy a DSLAM.

one option - buy an av projector they have modern hdcp so content will play but don't even come with speakers, yet alone apps

Mikrotik

BT have left a large number of people on ADSL. No VDSL upgrade.

Belkin TB3 Pro dock customer here. Is it garbage? no. Does it like to go wrong in new and mysterious ways every couple of days? yes

I bought from this company: https://www.ksrlighting.com/ (UK based)

Very impressed with the colo{u,}r purity

You can disconnect the transformer and power with 36v DC. Dimming works well with a PWM Meanwell dimmer (0-10v input)

If you're like me and want to avoid proprietary/locked-in stuff, highly recommend doing the 0-10v thing. Your control system is then separate from what drives the lights

Long-time Ubiquiti fan here

Their lack of Wifi 6 across the range, and the security problems drive me to look at alternatives. Found the Netgear WAX610. Very happy with them.

vigor 130 -

not the full web interface, but... try wireshark on it

if you have the right setting enabled, you'll find it is broadcasting its status onto the network for you to pick up

vigor's routers use this info. to show line speed etc. when using a modem via the router

The male/female split in our industry is something like 90%/10%. Something is wrong with the status quo and we should fix it.

London here Max. normal offering: ADSL2 only, 12mbit down, 1mbit up We had to buy a leased line for the building (1gbit down/1gbit up)

humans: go is hard. machines will never be able to play at the highest level.

machines: I have won

humans: oh

Because 665 is a bigger number than 10 and 40

:-)

TV in Europe is 50hz

Things get sped up, slowed down or played back with jitter. It's not great. Older devices (DVD/BD players) used to change framerate automatically. Newer devices (streaming) seem to default to 60hz with an obscure Settings menu to manually change it. Nearly everyone ends up watching the content in the wrong frame rate :-(

I hear qt is excellent, but would encourage you to do distinct ui code for each platform, in that platform's native ui libs. You'll look like a fish out of water otherwise.

Anecdata: I live in central london and the best connection I can get is a 12mbit ADSL2+ line :-(
