Sick of microsofts shit (popups, AI, random unknown settings changes that i dont notice until its too late and shit is broken) and i wanted to learn Linux and get some home server experience.

It runs an HDMI cable to a TV instead of relying on a crappy abandonware TV OS.

I mean… that worked fine for teenage me with a DSI.

Oof, yeah, sharepoint is horrible

Active Directory is a hell of a drug, as is Group Policy

That and i hear macbook battery life is absolute black magic fuckery

I’ve got a Latitude XT2. some of the plastic bits aged badly and developed a sort of weird film, including the charger brick; if you’ve had the same problem, I scrubbed the hell out of those specific parts with goo-gone and a microfiber cloth and its smooth and shiny again.

They could also deliberately go out of their way to make it worse.

Okay, that’s pretty sweet. Imma have to look into that, i know a guy who just retired a home server with like 10+ old HDDs

Was trying to order food online and that was apparently affected.

Gotta love having all our eggs in one basket, eh? We learned something from the big ass east coast AWS outage!

Furthermore, smoking is disgusting.

Fuck mandatory fun. I work, then i go home. End of story.

The sheer market share that forces websites develop for chrome for maximum visibility, to force websites to allow their content to be scraped to be usable by the average user.

See, and here i thought it would be children of terrorists!

Anything but the fuckin’ metric system…

Im frankly shocked VR as a whole didn’t completely die when facebook bought oculus

Best we can do is require photo ID for porn.

Will troubleshoot Windows 11 for food/shelter!

Ohio had nazis parading around in Columbus before the election. Literal, swastica flag waving, nazis.

Dayton survives almost solely due WPAFB and military contractors as far as i can tell, and with that comes a heavy republican presence and nationalism from retirees (and their family) who never left the area after getting out.

Much of the rest of ohio is either agriculture, shipping/transportation, or former industry that hasnt quite fully died yet.

It hasn’t been a true swing state in quite some time. And a place to live hasn’t been cheap either (unless you like roaches or mold)

Ngl, id be down for it. I’m just so done with reading news headlines, wondering if i need to be afraid of my own government; and if so, where it lands on the scale of “careful what you say out loud” to “flee for my goddamn life”.
