I have dyndns. I don’t recommend them, unless a coworker just gave you their lifetime pro account for free.

Thanks Roody, wherever you are!

For gaming content, I’ve been following CallMeKevin for several years. His stuff is always a good time.

Big artificial one, and one tiny “sad” real tree.

This stems from three years ago when we had to say goodbye to our 12 year old dog that we had since he was a puppy. We had zero desire to put up our artificial tree, but we wanted something so we grabbed the last 3" tree from whole foods that had fallen behind the display. We only put on one Star Trek DS9 Worf ornament and a small strand of lights.

Over the years it’s become our Star Trek tree, but we still try to find the saddest tree of the lot.

No, in addition to the reasons brought up by the other commenters, I’m starting to think that “computers as a service” will start to be a thing.

Google’s Stadia by all accounts wasn’t horrible, but it was pricey and the selection was subpar.

But what if Amazon, Azure, and Google start up some post-AI burst equivalent that provides a use case for all that processing power? Sure, the GPUs used by commercial AI aren’t designed for gaming, but Nvidia could see the writing on the wall and start partnering with hyper scalers to create massive racks of gaming GPUs. And it would be one step closer to the ultimate goal of removing personal ownership of things! Pay a subscription for a cloud gaming PC or try your luck on building your own.

Unifi Protect is what runs on the CloudKey/NVR physical device - you don’t need to have it go through to the Internet.

Remember, for better or worse Ubiquiti is positioning themselves as SMB Enterprise security - some companies won’t want their footage to be accessible outside their network.

This is maybe controversial, but I love the Ubiquiti security stuff. Cameras (interior and exterior) doorbells, etc, it’s all great. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.

And the data can stay local or be accessible via their services.

I chose to go local only, grabbed their UNVR and populated it with 4x 2TB drives and it has enough space to handle 7 cameras HD history for about a month.

Nzb geek and planet are two good ones.

There’s a few - but typically the free ones have limits on the number of downloads per day.

Nzbfinder and bin search used to be okay.

Look at newsgroups - some indexers are free, others have a lifetime fee that’s reasonable. I moved to nzbs and haven’t looked back - I can’t get dinged for sharing copyrighted stuff if I’m only downloading, never uploading.

sudo pkcon refresh
sudo pkcon update 

(Either that or)

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

I once installed the OS of Linux,

But speedy, it definitely wasn’t.

The year '94, a 56k net install,

Mom please hang up the phone this instant.

Sam Altman will be watching this case with interest. Maybe he can get a new round of funding from this guy.
