Disable windows updates
  • Very helpful thank you.

  • Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
  • give up gaming

    What? Most games run better on Linux

  • Disable windows updates
  • Yeah was standard pro I saw it on.

  • Disable windows updates
  • Good, it's been my experience, at least on fully updated 10.

  • Using HA to start my work laptop
  • So all that effort to spare 1 watt of "suspend" power? Running home assistant all day long probably burns 500x that power.

    I have to be missing some detail because that sounds absolutely insane in my head.

  • Disable windows updates
  • Hate to be "that guy", and maybe OP's no updates since 2019 exempt them from this, but modern 10/11 both immediately auto-restart the Windows update service when it's manually stopped.

  • Literally! Taking it!
  • I wonder what life is like with an IQ that low. I thought dumb people were supposed to be cheery but I guess not.

  • Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture?
  • I haven't had anything beyond a hug from my mother in 10 years.

    A boss of mine some time ago would sneak up and pat me on the back, scaring me most of the time. Back then I hated it.

    These days something like that would make my whole week.

  • Vaccines don’t cause autism, but the lie won’t die. In fact, it’s getting worse.
  • And the tech school I got a degree from now hosts courses on "Reiki healing" and "Crystal healing". America is fucking doomed.

  • Gay Republican candidate melts down when he figured out that his party is homophobic
  • Incredibly daft person is surprised to find out their fellow incredibly daft in-group has spewed hateful nonsense 24 hours a day for the last two decades is daft

  • MINISFORUM AtomMan X7 TI now available for pre-order (Mini PC with Core Ultra 9 185H and a 4 inch touchscreen display) - Liliputing
  • I have 2 Minisforum mini PCs that I really like, but this thing- this one particular thing- is stupid and pointless.

  • Reminder...
  • ...And yet all sorts of people want to talk about "not voting for Biden" says the opposite

  • It's just not fair!
  • can WILL

  • 2meirl4meirl
  • Does it help to know that you're not alone in that?

  • Give all your loyalty to the soulless predatory entity
  • As much as people agree with it, they won't do a single damn thing to change their choices. I've been in IT for about a decade and absolutely nobody has changed no matter how much they hate what these terrible companies have done.

    Bumped into this- the vocals in the middle of the track absolutely floored me. Had to replay that bit a few times.

    And then I looked up the band and found THIS https://youtu.be/Osqf4oIK0E8 I have questions

    Anyone getting app crashes on launch recently?

    Not long after installing/subscribing, was suggested to update. Since then I've had the app crash when opening.

    In case anyone else happens to see the same issue- at least for the time being, uninstalling/reinstalling seems to have done the trick.

    New Zimaboard, weird ass SMB issue

    Got a new Zimaboard yesterday, running through using it to migrate the Plex workload off of my Synology NAS- but running in to a strange issue.

    When mounting the NAS (which I'm still using for the storage of my media) everythiing works great, authenticates with a user I created just for it, finds the shares and displays them correctly, but entering any of the shares, they "appear" to be empty in CasaOS's file browser, which of course they're not.

    Things I've tested- connected to my NAS with that same user credential in a VM, shares appear/work correctly. User has read/write permissions inside those folders.

    Triple-checked file permissions on the NAS- all good from test VM.

    Updated the Zimaboard's Debian OS from SSH, updated CasaOS afterward. Rebooted numerous times.

    Anyone here familiar with CasaOS that ships on Zimaboard who might be able to enlighten me?

    Any suggestions for extremely quiet fairly high core count pc for a homelab proxmox platform?

    I do a lot of VMWare work but I'd like to tinker with proxmox at home- I just don't want to bring an awful old HPE server/etc home to try it out on-

    Anyone have any reccomendations for a quiet, small homelab server with a solid (12-16 thread) core count?
