My middle son, who is non-technical but anti-microsoft, runs Fedora 44 (same as I do actually)

He actually really prefers it… :)

I actually would prefer windows people stay on windows…becuase I don’t want my favorite operating system dumbed down…

You might be able to. You might not. At this point, 50/50 chance. ;-)

TLD’s aren’t the limitation… Public IPs are… If it wasn’t for Cloudflared, I couldn’t run half the shit I run.

This is my shocked face.

Honest.

This is why I run Linux.

I like to think the justice system works…but I’m not convinced these days.

I hope you’re right.

All you have to do to get evidence admitted is show you could have arrived at it via a different (legal) path.

Usually it takes a really good lawyer to argue fruit of the poisonous tree successfully.

In the short term…but the US would fold pretty quickly…

Yeah, but you and I both know once they’ve identified a target, no matter what the means, they’ll use that identification to build a case that doesn’t involve the location information… Arguing “inevitable discovery” the whole way.

And either way, they’ll prosecute.

Exactly, that’s why it’s the ultimate threat…

Except that this administration only gives a shit about what the courts say when they find in their favor…

Watch them say “well we just won’t sell to the US anymore”

Small Datacenter…

Hardware: 3x Dell R630’s, 256G (in 2) 512G (in 1) (Proxmox, Vmware ESX, NutanixCE) 1x Dell R730XD, 240TB, 256G-Ram (Truenas) 1x Dell R730XD, 50TB, 128GB Ram (Proxmox Backup Server)

In truenas containers I’m running my entire *Arr stack, cloudflare, Paperless, Ollama, Immich, etc.

In Proxmox I’m running a few Linux VM’s (mail gateway, Desktop VM’s for work, etc). VMWare and Nutanix are disposable hypervisors I use for deployment testing for work stuff.

I stopped worrying about IT illiterates long ago… Same reason I don’t want the masses flocking to Linux. They’ll find a way to ruin it.

Team Arrrr here. ;-)

Yet one more thing pushing people to Piracy…

There is nothing more maddening than advertising during a show that wasn’t written for commercial breaks.

First it’s about having it available when Netflix inevitably decides they’re not going to license it anymore… But for Netflix originals, it’s so my extended family can enjoy the good stuff without having to pay Netflix their stupid rates… especially now that I’m not allowed to share my netflix password with family (which used to be encouraged)

I don’t download directly from Netflix, though I understand it’s possible, but I find stuff on Netflix I like and then go dig up the torrent… Someone else has always pre-done the heavy lifting for me. :)

*.gov is currently blocked at my firewall…nothing they do is safe.

My wife gives me shit for downloading stuff from Netflix…This shit is why.
