Used PRTG for many years. Works ok. Has a free offering too. It's a bit of an artistic process figuring what to log and how to interpret it in an actionable way. Good luck and try to have fun.

Kudos to NirSoft, and long live them as well!

Lichess is one of those things you just have to sit and appreciate like a fine wine. It's absolutely wonderful for people in the chess community. I use it every day and am inspired by the functionality and performance, especially knowing it's a 1-2 person shop with limited budget.

Klingon for animal?

Ditto

Thanks for this. Just seeing the word "PowerShell" gets me excited every time... been using it for hours a day for years and it's so much fun. It's how I first learned to code, professionally. Kudos and Cheers!

I dunno man, but I tell ye what, he did just very that indeed. It's from 1968.

I just passed a lot of time going through all the examples/demos—render me impressed!

Love it!

Absolutely. Good for Scarlett, and my gosh Sam and that org need to learn a few lessons. What were they thinking?? So gross.

#1 annoying thing for me after landing on a blog... Never figured out why a company would make it so hard to see the actual product for new users. I can't imagine how many potential customers are lost that way.

Absolutely fascinating, thank you for sharing! I just want to order new phones computers laptops and servers left and right now.

Thank you for raising that, we need less cars! (More bicycles and related infrastructure would be nice) :D

They raised him right. Typically takes a lot of time wisdom and luck to get to that level of self comfort with the basics. It's a soulful choice that can influence all walks of life to harmony, if only more widely the case.

Similar. Just along for the ride. It's still rewarding and can last a long time in good health. Hope you're enjoying it too!

Can't tell if you're kidding bc my first thought was that if DoD can't host their own email, how can they do anything else correctly?

Loved loved loved the book, so when I heard there was going to be a movie I thought "NO WAYYY they'll pull it off" but, somehow they did a pretty darn good job and with A list actors too. I've read all his stuff now :)

It's not that big a deal if you're someone that considers getting on a 6+ foot ladder not a big deal, or changing your own oil, or going to a shooting range with a rifle, or I guess driving a big rental truck. It REALLY helps to watching someone do it in person the first time, like a handy neighbor or something. Definitely error on the side of calling a pro than doing yourself unless you can easily do a couple pull ups or lift a 50lb weight. Definitely ensure the rods you use fit snugly. It's super satisfying to get the job done though.

Excellent read right before shuteye.

I wonder where we would be if a printed copy of that post was delivered back to TI and Intel etc R&D labs 50 years ago.

Watch the movie Alpha some time :)

Fantastic! I just finished Chip Wars, so this post was very much enjoyed. Cheers.

Life is just hard. I don't know how folks managed 50 years ago, 100 years, 500+ years, it was just our ability to keep pushing through the mud, the cold nights, the loneliness, sometimes letting a glimpse of a beautiful day or sparkling night be enough to keep going.

Someone told me that life and work and relationships are sometimes just pushing everything you have in a giant deep dark hole in the ground, and every now and then, something pops back out. If you're lucky, it makes it all worth it. The only way to know is to keep trying. Maybe you'll give up on all your hard work and be even more depressed, but eventually get a job that doesn't even seem good, but then the days get better and better and one night you feel pretty darn good before bed and your realize all that behind you was just part of the journey, and it's ok. Let yourself feel sad, doubt, fear, get it out, behind you, make room for the good. You will discover it, I'm sure of it. If it's really hard to keep going, then you're on the right path. Life just is not easy! Gl

I'm very curious about number one as someone that grew up using Microsoft solutions and made a nice career from it as well. Their products have gotten so bad though that I am close to living in denial for continuing to recommend their offerings to clients. Win11 and Edge and Teams are the most terrible trio. Their 365 ecosystem has almost become a joke of a mess too. I not familiar with better complete alternative just yet, so it may simply be a poor time for the industry and I have to deal with it for now.

The Water Knife by Paolo Bacigalupi. Exactly that story and wonderfully done. Essentially a horror story for someone living in California etc.

I found several interesting exchanges, such as around/after email #212.

Some day, perhaps soon, YouTube may charge for serving content. A lot of folks will fork it over, and a lot more folks will scramble.

I gave it a quick test drive but almost immediately uninstalled it because it wouldn't let me dismiss the cluttering messages on top of the app list :/ Looks promising though. Thanks for sharing.

I like your style, amigo.

In many many years of Firefox use, it has always loaded my sites with perhaps only one exception, but that was an odd graphics css treatment the signed out Patreon homepage used, probably fixed by now.
