I use the reporting tools on my opnsense box.

I mean, PZ has been in alpha/beta state for so many years… What does stable even mean at this point :)

And that’s okay, for you. I used to do the same. I have dozens of button up shirts collected over the years (most of which don’t fit me anymore, unfortunately) from back when I had to go to the office daily. When I started working from home, not having to care about what I’m wearing removed a stress factor from my life that I didn’t know I didn’t need. Now I go to the office a couple days per week, and I just make sure I showered and that my d&d t-shirt is clean.

Project Zomboid. B42 is out!

Maybe it’s my job (IT), but sometimes I’m the only one in shorts or a hoodie in the technical management meetings. Fuck that shit, you hired me to do lead a geek team (myself included), and I am doing it. Them servers don’t give a shit about what I’m wearing. I’ve trimmed my mustache once this year, my beard is way too long, and I’m also expanding my tattoo sleeves, going for the neck soon. 🤷

Just a thought, but instead of a full windows install / live USB - what about a freedos live USB? You should be able to run exe files from there (assuming the bios exe does not need any GUI libraries).

I’m actually doing the opposite :)

I’ve been using vms, lxc containers and docker for years. In the last 3 years or so, I’ve slowly moved to just docker containers. I still have a few vms, of course, but they only run docker :)

Containers are a breeze to update, there is no dependency hell, no separate vms for each app…

More recently, I’ve been trying out kubernetes. Mostly to learn and experiment, since I use it at work.

What do you mean it’s hard to update containers?

How do you get the data on to the cloud storage? Maybe use something like restic, which can handle encryption, snapshots, etc.

beleaguered = besieged, surrounded by enemy troops. til.

I… guess? I don’t know how I would classify these games. But they all are able to steal from me 8h in a day, no issue :)

Project Zomboid, Rimworl, Dwarf Fortress, Stellaris, Starsector…

How is duckdns unreliable? I use it just to have wireguard access, been using it for years. Just curious about your issues…

Look into mattermost. Quite powerful, and free.

Are the Republicans the good ones? I dunno this stuff, am iuropean…

We’re using a self hosted Nexus instance at work. You probably don’t need all the features it offers, but it does its job really well. For free, too.

Zen & DDG. Fennec on mobile.

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).
