    Something Random

    Even the best case scenario so far I've seen is just using them as a domain registrar (we've had a couple companies that used to pay for GoDaddy to host their email -- a couple of disastrous M365 transitions have been the result) and even then they suck eggs. Me personally, my domains are...

    Something Random

    Vaguely related to work stuff, but my dealings with GoDaddy have convinced me to never, ever, not EVER be their customer.

    Selfhosting fun

    We're hitting the point where if they won't let us at least get them set up with Entra ID (which they're usually paying for as part of their M365 sub) we don't take them as clients or make them sign risk acceptance forms. I'd idly played around with the idea of setting up a domain controller in...

    Empire in Decline

    Something Random

    Where I'm at it hasn't been much over $4/gal but we had cheap gas to begin with, and it still went up almost 100% relative to what it was. My gas budget for the month has had to eat into my "everything else" budget. My old contacts from the truck stop have reported less traffic for trucks too...

    Disk Issues

    Any strange happenings that you think could be caused by your SSD probably are. Their failure modes tend to look much more abrupt than a traditional hard drive, including being shunted to read-only operation, which very few if any operating systems in their default configuration will tolerate on...

    Yeah, we're hitting on-season where we're at -- living in a tourist economy means EVERY field has an on-season because about now's when the money comes in and everyone wants stuff done, they tend to want to coast through the fall and winter -- and I'm just ridiculously busy.

    Here is a thread to talk about gaming

    Whatever the KDE solution is. I'm not swapping to GNOME for this lol

    Here is a thread to talk about gaming

    Yeah, overscan is why I never ended up using Linux on my TV PC. I had to change a setting to get my 1440p display to run at 120Hz instead of 60, but I haven't noticed Wayland willfully defying me like it does you. Do you think it might have something to do with it autodetecting everything all...

    Something Random

    My sister took in an orange boy a year or two ago when their neighbors moved out and left him behind. His name is George and he is a single-celled organism who enjoys eating phone chargers (as tirelessly as my sister works to keep them away from him) and making noises at birds in the window.

    Merc's Useful Tools of the day

    Until it gets rolled back with a feature update. ;) At this point I'm going to set up a home domain controller just to add all these toggles to my netlogon script or Group Policies. At least there it has less of a chance of just being quietly overridden. Then again, I've been using Debian on...

    Ryzen

    I use my old Ryzen 1600AF for that purpose, myself. I think it might be a little funky on the very earliest Zen boards that have weird problems even with Zen+ (the 1600AF is a down-binned 2600) but in practice I've never had an issue.

    DNS issues?

    Bridge mode may show up as something like a Passthrough mode like on my AT&T gear. That was a pain when I first moved over to fiber. If I had thought ahead and got a router box with an SFP port I apparently could have obtained a modified module that’d connect to AT&T’s network wholesale without...

    Here is a thread to talk about gaming

    Been scratching the Asheron's Call itch again, this time with some friends from my classic days on the new Conquest server with a fair helping of custom content and the like. It's actually really fun to go back to what I actually played circa 2007-2015 -- at this point, I've played nothing but...
