True. In our storage we had complete servers and storage originally packaged in case server in our Datacentar would die. After x years we decommissioned both of them. It was a heartbreaking moment to throw stuff to recycling that was not used and mint packaged. I secretly hide some Pentium I laptops that came with storage and gave them to collectors.
Ah, fitgirl to the rescue :) Helped me so many time to decide to buy the game,., For example Horizon Zero Dawn, played fitgirl release, loved it, purchased original. But still. fitgirl release is better as it does not require Internet!
yeah, I just feel the lag and everything, even on monitors claiming 1ms I can feel it while playing FPS and it is really annoying to me if game is not fluent I will not play it
We had companies owned by people/state in communism. It failed miserably and I would not suggest anyone to try it again. But to be paid with optional stocks or money after n years working for a company, hell yes. I would be the first to take that bonus of stocks and I would care much more for my company then. Now, I don't care whatever happens since no one would care if they throw me out.
Today, the narrative is to lie about everything. Our sales call it aligning truth so we can receive a paycheck but they are lying again, they just need to lie about everything. But in the end you can see everybody does it. Marketing is leading, politicians are following, adjusting LLM to present data they way they want it is just fine tuning us to accept more lies and get used to them.
Switched to Debian since one of services we use is Debian supported only so it was a logical choice. Some clients are still requesting Oracle or RHEL but we are pushing towards Debian. It was a nice ride with CentOS.
Windows are not bad if you have control over them. But in corp env, you don't and the force updates, AV, FW, extra AV scans and other monitoring shit so even with 32 GB of RAM, fast SSD and latest i7 PC would start to act like it's Win98. That's why I switch to Mac M2, zero corporate shit and total control so it works great.
~20 years ago I was building websites and I would spent hours to make things "perfectly" arranged on them. I hate it when it's not the way it was supposed to be. Pixel perfect or nothing. And then I just stopped with web and moved on with my life. It's time consuming, buggy and while it worked in one browser it didn't work in another. Screw that.
I've tried plex but had issues to set it how I want. I have one kodi to share everything, it's my main pc in home and we watch tv (dvb-t2 streamed with nextpvr), online streams, yt, etc. MCE remote to navigate. play emus or PC games with a click. Yatse to stream over mobile. Plex can't do all that. Plex is neat but still not the way I like it. Kodi is a bit messy to setup but once you handle it, it does the job.
they will bloat it more with copilot/edge/online/office/onedrive services so it will be shit like everything else. why can't they focus on core windows making it stable, fast and everything else optional, ah, it's MS, it's impossible to have it my way, they will do it their way, that's why I asked for M2PRO this year in my company and I'm delighted how good it is. Middle finger to MS.
I'm running small hosting service for me and my friends powered by ISPconfig (postfix/dovecot/rspamd) for more than 10 years, no issues at all and it's really easy to set it up these days. Just recently I installed new Debian 12 server, two-three hours work tops to setup 10 domains, mails, etc....
Heh, Rimac sold robo taxi to Croatians, we paid and got nothing. I'm 100% sure whole electric car scheme is a scam. It's just a current thing that will go away in 50 years or so.
I should remind you Tito died in 1982 and that resulted with instability, inflation and war. I was there. Felt it all. Tito fought croats and serbs since we they both had radical groups. But we all fought wars against one nation. Wonder why. Guess we were all bad.
Well, you can check in current Ukraine vs. Russia war how both sides lost soldiers for using mobile phones. People tend to forget they carry device that might hurt them in the end.
Well I would appreciate that, since I was victim of russian hackers and they had access to all my servers and stuff on Hetzer, they even changed passwords and mail on Robot but i restored everything...
that's why three and I think the fourth will leave our company after original developer left undocumented and hard to understand code (it's pretty complex and has tons of hacks to work on different OS'es), first year they learn what the hell is that code, how it works and they are not allowed to comment anything (I asked few times why we waste so much time for basic stuff, they said it is unnecessary...ok I guess). Now they hired original developer for tons of money just to consult newest developer and explain him code. Reasonable I guess.
I worked from home since covid drama and I don't have issues coming to work from time to time, we have to come at least once a week but generally that day my productivity is almost zero since we talk, eat, drink etc. and if I don7t want to come even that one day, nobody would say a thing. International company with over 5k employers. I wanted to change job last year and they told me I need to come to office art least first 6 months... I declined job offer since it's just pain in the ass to get to office. One hour travel to work, one hour travel from work and that's on a good day traffic. I need to buy expensive shitty food on job and pay for train tickets. So yeah I will never accept to come to office 5 day in a row. I might be spoiled but that's how it is.
That happened with WoW, mutated to something after it was bought by ... Activision... so that's why community made their own server. Thousand of players on Lights Hope these days, and now they want to release WoW classic to harvest more money but I think it will fail for good.
