Those are Animal Style fries

It definitely improves them, but not by much

Tossed $6 your way on Buy Me A Coffee yesterday!

Excited to get into the beta

This is actually an insane take

Furries at large don’t care about the e2ee or security features

They care that:

1. their friends are the platform

2. custom stickers of their fursonas are easy to make and import

That’s basically it. Telegram has become entirely ubiquitous in the fandom. No one group/ideology claims it as their own.

Sincerely,

a progressive leftist furry who uses TG

The furry community is in absolute shambles

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

As a furry

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

Nintendo is just on their own planet when it comes to… Basically everything, including game pricing.

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

The weird gargoyles are still there, near baggage claim.

That’s the main terminal above security in the photo.

Great photo!

For context: they’ve been remodeling the interior of the airport for a few years now, all the walls here are temporary

Vector Pinball is solid for sure.

The customer is only right if they threaten to cancel their service

Even then, if the cost of improving service is more than one customer’s cancellation, the customer can kick rocks

Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.

Free hardware is the best hardware!

I’ve had trouble using any kind of VPN on ABB. It’s pretty frustrating.

Second time Sony has done this in almost as many months. Fuck Sony.

Hello! Would you like to destroy some evil today?

The World of Tanks/Warships fans are getting out of hand again I see

Guess I’ll be putting Helluva Boss on my Plex server.

Meh.

My prime was already cancelled because they billed me in early January, when that extra $100 could be used on Christmas gifts, so it always snuck up on me.

I didn’t use it enough to justify it anyway.

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

• Plex
• 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
• Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
• anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

• Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
• Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
• single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”
