This is a plot point in The Caine Mutiny

Not even when the vendor stops fixing it. Anytime you want.

How do you solve dynamic DNS? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Yeah this has been the biggest problem with hosting. For SMTP to work outbound you gotta have a good static IP. Everything else can be DDNSed. So either you get a business class connection or proxy through a VPS front end.

Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale? in c/games@lemmy.world

This is truth, although i did pick up Cities:Skylines. I've got to get through all the other Paradox games from the time they had the bundle sale

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

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.
