I have family photos starting in 2001, scanned/captured photos and video going back 50 years, music, and backups of all my Xbox DVDs (WTF is the original Xbox even called today?). But that’s a few terrabytes. It can all fit on a few USB sticks. (Which I do as a third level backup.)
The real space killers are the TV shows and movies that I will watch at most once every 20 years. I could delete almost all of it. But I don’t. Instead I keep looking for bigger storage options.
How did you handle the reverse proxy in Windows for remote access?
That’s how it was done 30 years ago. My friend built his basement around the TV so it would be in the wall and he had a room behind it for all the cables and equipment.
My house has it too. It’s not a full room but a cut out with a door. Because originally if there was a big TV there would be no way to get behind it.
That makes no sense? Why not play small bands that would be happy to have their music on the air for free?
Would you be fine doing those jobs if you were paid more? Be a model employee until you meet with the person that can change your salary. Find the number that would make you happy and ask for it. If they don’t meet that number, then slack off.
Don’t be emotional. You are a tool like a wrench to them. If they can buy a wrench cheaper, they will. If you are a great wrench that they will profit from purchasing, they will pay extra.
The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them.
Hitler shouldn’t be taught because you don’t agree with him? How is anyone supposed to learn from history if you hide everyone that did anything bad. That’s how we got Trump. It was a failure of education.
It’s important to remind everyone that he was a piece of shit. Republicans are whitewashing his history.
. it’s a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff.
It’s also a big deal to the extremely competent developers. The other person I saw use AI which makes me want to try it is Limor Fried. I watched one of her videos where she input a 50 page microcontroller pdf and got useable io mapping header files for her c code. Matching pins to ports in a doc that’s spreads the info out across many pages is a huge grind.
It’s not like I’m illiterate, but I’m open to using a plastic ball point pen instead of catching and killing a goose to make my own quill.
A dude DYI’ing his bike isn’t something to even take into account…
I’m old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.
Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn’t matter. It was a tool for regular people.
Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.
I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.
It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.
But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.
.net isn’t Windows.
Don’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.
It’s absurd but Linux is far worse. Instead of addressing library bloat and versioning we have Docker which just throws EVERYTHING into a bag and makes you download an entire OS environment space to run one app.
Unless you are on a private tracker, the trackers go up and down and require changes every few years too.
Thanks but as I said, it’s about the collecting, not the watching. I captured/filtered/converted shows like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for my nephew 25 years ago. I’m not going to delete it despite that no one is watching it or will watch it for decades (maybe when nephew has kids or if I have grandkids). It’s not even available on any streaming.
I think if I ran maintainerr, it would tell me to delete everything except the home videos that my mother in law likes to watch.
I’ve hosted my own media since before Plex existed. But I understand that almost all of my video is “collection”, not actually useful.
My server was useful for about 5 years when my kids were young and it provided all their shows without ads.
I’m starting to delete stuff.
What is AOT? Attack on Titan?
Ultimate rule and order…
Doesn’t Aaragon become King? Sort of the same thing. Seems like two billionaires squabbling over their property line.
" The Missouri State Water Patrol said he used the hose to snorkel 30-feet below the surface, with a 20-pound boat anchor tied to his waist to help him reach the bottom. "
You can approach the speed of light but you cannot reach it. Your equations are missing the relativistic corrections.
