sometimes… the 911 operators had machines that connected to a shitload of audio sources simultaneously… think all emergency service radio bands (police/fire/sheriff) as well as the land-lines and cellular networks… this was back before texting to 911 was a thing.

i was always testing external radios and phone sources. the cell providers were the worst (at the time)… sometimes 911 would work for Primeco but not Verizon or whatever so each cell provider had to be tested independently.

it was just weird first doing it as i grew up terrified i would accidentally dial 911.

i got a job working tech support for 911 and had to make test calls regularly from different sources

Dudes got 1.5 billion. theyre good

sorry, they stopped adding useful things in 1982. now its only how build it cheaper and apparently extract ad revenue from their market.

kinda on brand for samsung actually

im a firm believer in task appropriate stuff… 24/7 server apps should be on a dedicated server box… network storage should only perform storage tasks. i wouldnt use a primary workstation also as server cuz i want to do crazy shit on my workstation. i wouldnt ever want to interfere with my ‘production’ stuff on the server.

ive been quite happy running a headless server and various nas boxes for storage redundancy… my home related i.t. tasks are very minimal now that everything is solidly automated.

oh you sweet summer child

theyre just people, with possibly very shitty opinions. your issue is weighting their opinions disproportionately to your relationship with them (none).

if youre happy with yourself, other peoples attacks hold no power.

also, i like to keep the old quote in mind ‘be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.’ as it helps maintain perspective when speaking to people who could react negatively.

if i can make it to 60 on a diet of corn syrup, hotdogs and microplastics i think youll prolly hit 40

i get it, this shit sucks… but this is a bit hyperbolic

nope, i’ve not had any issues with ports, but im using deluge.

the container network management handles most of that nonsense, the vpn is treated as a native internet connection

I prefer containers…

theres one available called gluetun that can run proton vpn…

then I have a deluge (torrent client) running in another container that specifies gluetun as it’s network source.

this way if the VPN drops I don’t bleed my actual ip

these containers are pre-built and public so config is fairly minimal

slip past them?? im pretty sure trans-genocide is a part of the official republican platform

haah right… the country that cant even provide healthcare to its people, ejects brown children with cancer because ‘paperwork’, and provided israel all the material they needed to complete an actual genocide…

thats who is claiming some moral point? hilariously hypocritical

elected officials stock trading

is it the idea that you should only ever care about yourself and fuck everyone else? cuz that seems like priority #1 for united states conservatives

I’m sorry

troll-y mctrollface is sorry? awsome!

its a troll, pure and simple. zero substance, all antagonism

im sorry, we couldnt hear you all nestled in your armchair like that.

we get it, you are severely butt-hurt by this for some reason. to each his own.

how about this… when you get a trans kid, you can handle the situation the way you want. in the meantime, you can mind your own fucking business and let parents be parents for their kids. let those parents chosen professionals do their jobs.

its clear you cant hear yourself being absolutely incapable of minding your own business. what are some other parents and their doctors decisions have to do with you?!

prolly the same reason arm-chair reactionaries make wild assumptions such as ‘that transitioning children is both physical, sexual and emotional abuse’ instead of leaving it to, you know, professionals.

idiots.

youll have to be pretty cognizant of the pathing within those commands. also, i noticed i had to run it using sudo to get it to work…

i did just discover an issue… my installs wont let me save the game. it just locks up.
