That app probably

Often times better… I have a 1080p 5.1 surround version of sg1. Prime has a 4:3 version with 2.0 audio, not to mention it’s super dark.

Gnome-disk-utility or “disks” in Linux will clone a partition and then restore it to another disk.

Pihole will log DNS requests. The requests come.from the TV. So when it pops up, Block it.

Had one in highschool. Good times

I would go wired… get a switch, run an Ethernet cable from the dorm wall to the switch then out from your switch to your PC.

That said the university is probably handling DHCP and dns… You could use a USB WiFi plug to generate a hotspot off your PC. if you wanted to run your own wifi…

But honestly the dorms WiFi with you using a VPN to a major service is probably easier everyday use wise.

Let me just say this… my college lost WiFi connectivity for about 2 months once when I was there.
The only people who had WiFi were the folks connected to the pirate wireless. Because folks were doing the wired device --> hotspot deal with their desktops.

So might not hurt to be prepared.

Also… The dns settings for your device… you should set those. If you use DNS from your university… It lets them control what you can and cannot see on the net.

Worked in the docudrama “the Flintstones”

It’s a visio.

Literally the cheapest 32inch TV that best buy had.

It’s absolutely unusable with the ads disabled.

Horrific television.

Pihole on your network… And block Internet access to the TV…

Tho… a while back the wife and I bought a dirt cheap 32 inch TV from bestbuy… it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app. (Skipping the home page)

Pihole crashes it.

We bought it for watching football outside so it’s unplugged for the majority of the year… but that’s still absolutely unacceptable. Imho

I did perfect media server It’s got mergerfs for splitting data and using disks in various sizes .and snapraid for a level of redundancy. Tho raid isn’t backup.

That said I’m now running this setup on a n100 machine with a qnap tl-800c jbod USB c box.

Works great for downloads / Plex and home server needs.

The b100 chip isn’t amazing… Don’t get me wrong but it works really well for Plex.

Hope this all makes sense. I’m on mobile with out my glasses. Lol

Yeah my ex wife initially made fun of my server with my Plex media on it…

Guess what she wanted after our divorce? That’s right Plex.

If she scoffs at your media setup she’s wrong for you.

I work for a small dev company. We have no idea what other silos are working on. Only 1-2 people at the very top have some sort of inkling… Maybe.

In a company that large… I don’t doubt that projects get filed under a very large encompassing epic (or the equivalent for what ever scrum software they are using) and not overly discussed with the business majors / marketing people that are the c-level people now.

I’m of the mindset that you bought the domain you can do with it as you please. Where I think you’d get into “trouble” is if you were talking about piracy or something associated with their IP.

And the best possible outcome is they contact you and buy it for some much larger amount than you paid for it.

My fiber company double natted me.

It was really messing with my Plex remote connections and my VPN.

If you can’t sort it out locally might want to give your isp a call and find out if they e done the same.

P.s sorry for the shit website link.

Bunter2

Man for real.

Folks will say arch.

But honestly any modern Linux system with 3rd party drivers will work. Mint pop_os arch Manjaro Debian Ubuntu etc

I’m running a 1660 and an i5 64xx on kubuntu 24.04 Granted that stuff is older but you’ll have the same experience.

Unless you’re running the absolute bleeding edge… You’ll not have a lot of problems.

*Ymmv of course but majority of folks won’t have issues.

If you can’t trust green text, can you really trust anyone or anything?

My stuff is named after planets / ships in Star wars.

Server is coruscant

Desktop is malastare

Laptop is anaxes

Portable hard drives are ships
