    For a lot of people in the world, it would be cheaper for the governmet to buy their rural property, bulldoze it, and then buy them a house in a town with internet service – than it is to run a line to their property.

    of course that would be cheaper if the government is paying for it.....That would also be cheaper than just buying comcast for someone even in suburbs of the US...

  • How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?

    I used it in my car on the daily until it was removed from the phone. Then i went, in quite frustrating fashion, through a series of cheap aux/jack bluetooth dongles to maintain handsfree and music in the car.

    Finally the radio in my truck started going out. So i replaced it with a wireless carplay/android auto model. And it IS nice.

    But there are still times i would prefer a wired set of headphones. I still use them on my laptop from time to time. But will use airpods as well. One of the issues i have with my airpods is that often 1 side will be signifigantly louder than the other.

  • Do you run a private CA? Could you tell me about your certificate setup if you do?

    I run easy-rsa on a linux box. Just manually generate CSR's and sign them via SSH.

    And simply trust the CA cert in windows, linux and whatever extra places (normally firefox cert store).

    Post the crl.pem to /var/www/html/ and let NGINX use that.

    For most things public like plex or whatever i just use letsencrypt. Easy-rsa is really just for internal stuff like my NAS, VPN etc.

    It is. You are allowed to download it as it has a trial. But when it’s time to pay the only way is through a logged in account on the Microsoft store.

    shit drives me bonkers. I tried to get the Dolby Atmos plugin. Has to be done on the store, which HAS to be signed into windows. No i dont want any of that. let me buy it from your site and redeem a code or something. I dont want to sign into the store. at all.

    I just went with the alternative. Installing the logitech control software, restricting its internet access but using its dolby DTS features.

    In a vacuum that would be fine. But in the current culture that likely wouldn’t overcome the tipping standard/culture and may just drive customers away thinking the prices are too high. Unless you have a huge blatant no tipping sign all over the place.

    This isn’t too indigestible as it stands provided the wait staff understand they are likely to only get a tip for excellent service.

    But to do this on top of an 11 dollar cannoli. That’s a bit different too. I hope it was like a dozen cannolis.

    Based on the bottom of the receipt i would have said to the server something like "great, it says right here no need to tip"

    The ARR tools are basically a search engine website you host. The interact with a few other tools you have to have access to/pay for. Namely an indexing service and a (for some) a download service. They can use torrents, so you dont HAVE to pay for downloading, but using something like newsgroups is really nice and add reliability and security.

    THe "ARR's" basically then are just a fancy UI and scheduler and just search the indexing service, download the files you want, re-assemble them and copy them to the location you want (often a file share that your media player like Plex or Jellyfin will use).

    You can set them to continually look for something too. So for Sonarr, it will auto-download new episodes as soon as they appear in the index. Or if you see a commercial for something upcoming, you can add it and monitor it and as soon as it starts showing up in the indexes it will download.

    Only debt we have a mortgage we owe 226k on. Cars are owned outright and were paid off early. Student loans we paid off early. We generally live below our means. CC's are used for general purchasing and paid off in full each month. They are basically a stop-gap for fraud protection.

    There definately is something. They have a ton of products. I'd have to look through my list as well. The CSS runs switchos lite, but honestly its fine. I can do CLI configs (brocade, cisco, cisco smb etc) but its whatever.

    At my parents house i have been using a Mikrotik RB260GSP since about 2016 on their net. It also runs swos and im not doing anything crazy on it (in fact i never bothered with VLAN's there though i probably should setup a guest vlan. But its been fine for years now.

    if the firewall can be updated regularly then sure.

    Mikrotik makes perfectly acceptable switches at a reasonable price with a variety of features, vlan compat is pretty common. A MikroTik CSS610-8P-2S+in will give you 2 10 Gb sfp , 8 x 1Gbe with PoE+ and vlans for under 300 bucks.

    I’m sure it’s your total concern for AInlanguage models and not totally some contrived argument you can use to never be in the wrong. Too short and it’s not detailed enough and lazy.

    Too long because someone takes the time to add context and it’s now chatgpt yadda yadda.

    You should go back to Reddit with that juvenile logic.

    Given that companies, including ones that are KNOWN to be on the bleeding edge (FAANG) and even some whos entire product revolves around WFH (ie: Zoom, Google, etc) are pulling an RTO im not really sure why you are now trying to pigeon hole and pick apart their point, while at the same time saying its not succint. They dont really need to cite anything if folks have been paying attention.

    I would agree with the OP here. As a working manager and Individual Contributor at my company, I was spending an inordinate amount of time managing people and their tasks that when in office are perfectly fine performers. But at home they were not. My company also doesnt allow you to just fire people not making goals, thats not how it works, it opens them up to lawsuits of all kinds and there are plenty of weak managers out there, including where i work. Theres an entire process and almost any company with more than a couple hundred employees will be this way too.

    I do have folks that are (and were) FTR before COVID and even some of them have struggled because COVID caused their home dynamics to change. Suddenly they arent the only ones home now and other factors become distractions. And not all jobs can be scheduled, many are responsive in nature.

    The reality is, on the whole, most adults these days don't seem to have the self discipline to WFH full time. Some do, and sometimes on sites/platforms like this one or HackerNews you may get an unusually higher concentrations of those rockstars that can handle it also discussing it. But for most, on the whole that doesn't seem to be the case.

    I’m probably wrong but I think the rules are decided before each house convenes (which is every year or two in January after folks are sworn in. ).

    So this year is locked. But after the election cycle it will be time to vote on new rules. They could reverse them then. But the margins are so thin….who knows.

    That’s how bullshit like filibuster rules have been degraded from actually having to stand and filibuster to simply saying “well I would do it if I had the energy so it’s a filibuster speech now”.
