Yeah this has been the biggest problem with hosting. For SMTP to work outbound you gotta have a good static IP. Everything else can be DDNSed. So either you get a business class connection or proxy through a VPS front end.

Really more about the skillet queso and frosty margs, but the more traffic from people thinking they found out our secret spot, the better

The Chili’s at 38th and Lamar in Austin is famous for this too

Worth watching for Rutger Bauer’s acting alone. That man put his all into being a hobo

And that’s a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.

This hugely depends. Most places will happily split it.

The Microsoft Minecraft login thing is getting pretty insane.

You don’t even need much cash. An old N40L and four 250gb ssds will get you 750gb running Truenas and raid.

OK I had no idea this existed so thanks! I’m one of today’s lucky 10000 I guess. I have an old Panasonic with Viera and had no idea it did this. Not working perfectly yet but not far off.

OK I’ll take a look at it, interesting.

What TV do you have? What are you running Kodi on?

What TV remote?

Pretty much this. Imagine some untutored user given the jellyfin client. They can figure it out pretty quickly as it is much like Netflix. Compare that to a Kofi on a Pi, first you have a keyboard/mouse. OK, then arrow keys and spacebar get you a ways in - now how do I stop the video? Panic till you find out it’s the X key.

It is the simplicity vs functionality debate. Kodi is amazingly configurable but it is not accessible for your normal household user without a ton of work. Jellyfin(as an example) just runs on the Roku they are already using.

Eventually I’m getting off my old Roku 3 permanently for Kodi, so I’m just saying I wish Kodi had a dummy mode.

The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.

Oh yeah I plan to update. But only when I really get annoyed.

Er I’m still running a FX-8350 as a gaming machine (not AAA games obviously). I had another one as a host for a few VMs and it was more than enough till the motherboard went. One day I’ll upgrade I guess.

Corel Linux

idrac console? I tried open web start, no joy

And to think Butt Hole Road used to be in Doncaster

I don’t know about slim but I love OpenSUSE. It is super stable, I’ve run it for about a billion years. You can use the installer to just choose the server light install.

II use Debian for some build machines.
