wtf

Microsoft Teams is dog shit in c/technology@lemmy.world

Also the surveys after eveey call. Drives me crazy. And the weird file editor, never edit PowerPoint slides in Teams.

And the way it absolutely freaks out when the computer is in standby.

No reason not to go now.

Evolution is really not bad either

The Samsung bloat is real. I have two identical Galaxy Tabs, one with Lineage and one stock, and the software on the stock one is so annoying to go back to after using the Lineage one.

Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes in c/technology@lemmy.world

And it works well enough. No one is ditching Windows

That's what I have, except networked. . Works fine. Just meant out of all the things, printers are still the hardest

I'd get a whole second machine and a KVM switch, it would save you much trouble

Nope I haven't had trouble with drivers in a while. Printers are still probably thr worst but not bad.

You don't even need much cash. An old N40L and four 250gb ssds will get you 750gb running Truenas and raid.

I hear but have not verified that they will connect to an open network without letting you know.

virtualizing PFSense. What else works besides ESXi for virtual networking? (lemmy.world)
 

with the demise of ESXi, I am looking for alternatives. Currently I have PfSense virtualized on four physical NICs, a bunch of virtual ones, and it works great. Does Proxmox do this with anything like the ease of ESXi? Any other ideas?

Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately (kb.vmware.com)
 

I'd expected this but it still sucks.

Zoneminder is awesome if you want to keep your security footage to yourself. (zoneminder.com)
 

Zoneminder is a pretty solid setup for IP security cameras, and the zmninja app is really nice too. I had tried it years ago but got back to it recently with some sketchy IP cameras. I just put them in their own VLAN, no Internet access, Zoneminder does motion detection and event recording, and so far I'm quite pleased with it.
