7, because it’s got character. Way cooler than any other single digit number especially. Except maybe 0? Is 0 a number, or a lack of number?

“Well well look who finally decided to show up!”

I’m not actually sure what happens if you have multiple cloud devices on the same network, but I think the cloud versions often have some impact to the capabilities. The routers might have less VPN throughput in the cloud version, or only able to run one or two of their services at once instead of all since they’re also tasked with routing etc, don’t remember the specifics but stuff like that. It’s also confusing as they have lines like the dream machine that combine multiple capabilities into one, and it ends up being a mess trying to figure out what exactly is the best route to go. Frustrating but I’ll say the equipment itself has been quite nice spare for the occasionally buggy software

Took me awhile to figure this out when I was first considering getting their stuff. Basically, you need some kinda server on the network running their programs to manage their devices. The “cloud” devices include this capability, otherwise you’ll need either their cloud key or to set up your own server running it. It’s definitely poorly explained and the weird pricing schemes don’t make any sense really.

That’s one of the benefits of the smaller community here too, the block button actually feels like it does something. If you’re frustrated by comments that add nothing to anything or are fishing for drama etc, a short commitment to blocking repeat offenders really improves things quickly

… but they should be, right?

One iPhone, located centrally in each town within a booth for easy use. Maybe there can be a system to collect a tiny payment for using it to offset the price?

I didn’t realize my setup wasn’t usable. What does plex offer that makes the usability so much better? I considered plex for my newish setup but if anything, all the privacy controversies and charging for features was more unusable to me than anything I’ve noticed with Jellyfin

Reducing support for one candidate lowers the threshold for the other to win, so staying home absolutely supports Trump, same with voting third party thanks to our wonderful system here

I think the release date is on the 16th, they’ve had a couple rounds of RCs and it seems like it’s finally happening!

It’s late and with all the other politics in my feed, I read that as Macron at first, and spent longer than I want to admit seriously imagining him on stage demoing this to show a new French foray into tech or something

I never really understood why etcher was the choice, it was a crazy bloated program that was like 100 or 150mb? To do the same job as Rufus could do in like a dozen or so, and if you’re on Linux you can just use gnome disks or something, never had any issues there either. Just made no sense to me why they recommended it in the first place.
