I definitely know that feeling.

Now that I’m at a keyboard, here’s the (Caddy) plugin I was referring to : https://github.com/caddy-dns/namecheap

Damn it. I’ve been following bun for a long time and using it casually… Guess it’s good I didn’t get too far into it

Namecheap supports this according to docs. I just haven’t tested yet.

Doesn’t caddy support that (name cheap txt mod) via a plug-in?

I haven’t tried it yet, but the plugin made it sound possible. I’m planning to automate on next expiration… When I get to it ;)

I did already compile caddy with the plugin, just haven’t generated my name cheap token and tested.

Mine runs on my desktop that I built in 2016. So yes. I also tested it on a Lenovo tiny (similar to a NUC) that I’m using as a self host “server” and it seemed fine but I didn’t try any heavy transcoding yet.

You’re creating a time capsule that someone will later discover and say “o shit, remember pennies?”

Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake

I woke up early today so I snuck out of bed quietly and decided to read lemmy on my phone so I don’t wake up the spouse… And then this comment made me snort.

Well played, well played.

I still type ifconfig by habit. Some kid the other day told me that you can judge a person’s age and Linux experience by whether they expect ifconfig and netstat vs ip and ss.

… I’m just glad they kept the parameters the same in ss

They will, however, ask you for the account info/receipt to recover it. When you reply, a different help desk person will reply asking for that info you just sent.

… I got to five replies (in a chain, with history and all requested info attached) before I gave up. Just another reason I hate microsoft

It’s a “deal” they always have, if you find it on their site, but any large 2 topping pizza for $9 doesn’t seem bad… As many as you want.

One of our client support people told an angry client to open a Jira with urgent priority and we’d get right on it.

… the client support person knew full well that Jira was down too : D

At least, I think they knew. Either way, not shit we could do about it for that particular region until AWS fixed things.

I hadn’t even thought of that angle… damn. Thanks for the link.

“Bugfixes and performance improvements”

I see that one all the time from big companies because it sounds nice and tells you nothing.

One of those updates a few years included embedding adware. So, thanks for that… jackhole

This is actually pretty similar to what some coworkers visiting from EU wanted to do.

They were here on a two week work trip and I asked them what they were doing for their weekend. It was something like “We rented a car and are going to go to New Orleans, then to Nashville, up to New York City, over to the Grand canyon, and maybe San Francisco if we have time before we head back to the office”

I had to explain that the state we were in was larger than their country and they couldn’t cover that much ground in two days even if they only drove and didn’t stop once.

We had a good laugh and then just did a hike on Saturday :)

Edit : “in Europe 100km is a long distance and in the US 100 years is a long time”. Forget where I heard that but it seems accurate

I’ll never not upvote Veronica Explains. Excellent creator and excellent info on everything I’ve seen.

I haven’t had squirrel dumplings in ages…

Bonus points for no jailbreak required : D I didn’t even realize there was a jailbreak for it (or what benefits there are to jailbreaking it… I should do some research but I haven’t found anything I couldn’t do with the stock firmware and it sounds like you generally came to the same conclusion).

Mine is using the stock firmware, wifi off unless using Overdrive, but I plug it into my computer to charge and load it with books. It just shows up as a mass storage device like a USB thumb drive and you can copy/paste books onto it (or use Calibre). After disconnecting it will scan for new/changed files and auto-import any recognized formats into the reader application.

Also saying Kobo. I’ve got the Kobo Libra Colour and love it.

It’s the only ereader I’ve ever owned but I used the spouse’s Nook and Kindle a couple of times in the past and the Kobo kills it. Granted, we’re talking about a nearly new release of the Kobo vs a 5+ year old Kindle so it’s not a fair comparison.

Because of eInk and auto-sleep, the battery lasts me well over a month of casual reading (~30min before bed) with the occasional multi hour weekend session. Backlight is present and is totally readable in dark areas at <10% brightness; 100% brightness is like a supernova in your face. While the Libra Colour is not specifically a note-taking tablet like a reMarkable, it does just fine for quick notes/todo lists/etc but I did splurge on the ($60) stylus. There’s a “notes” application that comes pre-installed.
eBook support for writing in margins (or over text), underline/circling, highlighting, etc is really nice but occasionally the highlight is flakey when trying to highlight the end of a paragraph. That seems to have been specific to certain epubs rather than an “always” thing, but it happens in around 20% of epubs I’ve used.

EDIT: Notes and highlights you do in an epub (and presumably other formats) are exportable to your PC via Calibre (“Annotations”). I love this because I like to highlight things I find interesting, particularly good quotes, and this gives me an easy way extract them while retaining a reference to which book it was and where exactly in the book it was. Example attached.

Not that I would know from experience, but I hear there are Calibre plugins that will allow a user to pull the DRM’d book (downloaded via Overdrive) to a computer and remove the DRM.

I’ve read that it’s a polite thing to do because you’re able to return borrowed books much more quickly so other users can check them out.
