I would be happy if I could pay you to just set up and periodically check my setup. I only say that because I would probably want to put together something that cost more than $150. But I am absolutely overwhelmed by what I don’t know. Every tutorial I read gives me more questions than answers.
I just want to self host, share it with a close circle of friends, and keep everyone else’s noses out of my business.
For the love of God and all that is holy, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT embed a table into Word, from an Excel file, and leave it linked.
It gives you the option and it seems like it should work, so that when you update the Excel document, then later access the word document, it will update that embedded table with the new data in the linked Excel file.
Nope. It will lock up Word, Excel, your fucking computer, even if you open in safe mode and delete that table, everything is fucked.
Just delete the word doc, that Excel file, and start over without linking anything. It will be less frustrating.
It might even be less frustrating to throw the whole computer away, quit your job, divorce your wife, move to another country, learn that language and start over from scratch.
I mean it was that fucking annoying, trying to get access to that document, to even copy the text, and put in a fresh word doc.
And Google/MS Help seems to think this problem does not exist.
Except I’m the idiot that tries it the second time and the same thing happened. (For context, the first time was in college, the second time was years later, at my job. So, completely different settings, computers, versions, etc…)
I have a Pixel 6 Pro too and was considering upgrading.
The forced ai integration is a huge turn off for me though and I am considering using this to finally make the leap to graphene.
You wouldn’t happen to be considering that as well, would you?
I was wrong too. And I am glad people didn’t listen to me.
I stopped when my knees made me stop. If it weren’t for them though, I’d still be doing it too
My dentist disagrees. He recommends moderation, but says it is not harmful, much less dangerous.
I do it myself, about once a year, and I don’t have any issues at all.
My dentist said I could do it more often if I felt I needed to, 3-4 times a year, and my enamel would be fine, as long as I followed the directions.
I tried googling it and found no source that corroborated your statement. (I did find a Mayo Clinic and NYTimes article that both support my dentist’s claim.)
I’m willing to listen if you can provide an article, but your “objectively wrong” comment seems a little, well, objectively wrong.
I definitely see images, but not specifics. For example, I can see my wife’s face, in my mind, but I can’t draw from that memory.
Like I am seeing the images from a distance, but if I try to focus on a detail, the image falls apart.
I still think in words and images, but there is no voice.
Something else that came up in previous discussions. I remember emotional response more than specific things. For example, my wife can remember what we wore, what we ate, and other specifics, of a date we had years ago. I barely remember even the location, but I can easily recall that I was happy about the date, but there was some mild frustration early on, something about the restaurant, but then feeling better about it later.
I say this and my wife says, “Oh yeah, we were annoyed because we had reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes, but then we were given an appetizer.”
However, before my comments, she couldn’t recall if we liked the place or not.
I’ll remember if I liked someone, but not why or even their name.
What do you mean by seeing? Like they don’t see images in their mind?
I do not have an internal monologue.
This has been at least discussed/studied before but I don’t know if there has been any sort of formal poll to find a rate between those that do and those that don’t.
I don’t think you’ve seen some of these movies if you think it has anything to do with how sad it made them.
It wasn’t him, it was the one armed man!
Cuz Dodgers and Yankees always get a pass.
Can’t tell if that bar is gold or silver.
With that try-hard moustache, it is probably gold. 😏
(That patch also makes him look like an Air Force doofus.)
Tell your friend good luck, and make sure his landings = his take offs.
We need a cabal to kill these super-rich.
I just saw this meme, though it was funny. Showed it to my friend and he said almost exactly this.
It makes perfect sense now that I hear it.
So you are arguing that cost plus has been the way to go?
When clearly Boeing’s performance has shown that they’ve been sucking at the tax payer teat for decades.
Meanwhile SpaceX took on the risk of the development cost without using the tax payer as a bottomless ATM. They did it quicker AND cheaper.
So yes, they have done it WORLDS better and you are a fucking idiot to argue otherwise.
Musk aside (yes the man has proved himself to to be another narcissistic moron with more money than sense), but SpaceX did highlight the gluttony of the what the space industry has become.
You CANNOT argue that any program can come close to SpaceX.
You make a comment about that one program, (moon-whatever) that got cancelled, and while that sucks, it was because priorities changed. Both sides admitted to it and you are using it falsely as some sort of earmark of failure of the overall program.
Yet you say the other guy is arguing in bad faith.
Fuck Elon Musk, but you are kind of a douche too, to downplay what those engineers have done. They literally turned the industry upside down and here you are, talking shit.
What the fuck have you done?
If it’s not tax payer money, then who gives a fuck. You are declaring apples to oranges then doing the same god damned thing.
This is a TERRIBLY written article.
I use to agree with you but that metric sailed a long to me ago. All pricing, everywhere now, is based on how much they think people will pay, not cost plus a reasonable profit.
A $1300 iPhone probably cost around $200 to actually produce, and that covers development.
Any cost savings on production, or cheaper materials, is profit passed on to the stockholder. It does not go to workers and certainly does not go to a cheaper sales price.
I would be willing to pay an initial setup fee followed by some maintenance fee. I would expect the initial fee to be significant due to a custom setup/requirements. (I am talking just setup, not cost of hardware/ physical installation).
Unique home network with 2 managed switches.
Self hosted security DVR, automated computer backup, photo backup, network drive for document storage and then self hosting a Jellyfin server along with a torrent service.
(I am sweating just thinking about trying to set that up)
Storage will be a RAID setup where I can just upgrade by throwing a new drive into an open slot and replace (as necessary) existing drives by just swapping them out and server automatically handles the data management.
I have a VAGUE idea of what that takes
Maintenance would cover service calls to resolve problems due to security updates/patches, end of life upgrades, normal planned maintenance type of stuff.
User caused issues should be extra :) (i.e. I was just trying to install a Minecraft server)
Couple hundred bucks, at least, for setup. And that seems cheap.
I would pay $10-20 a month for a maintenance fee after an initial setup fee.
I would MUCH rather give my money to an individual sysadmin than a corporate megalith that will use my membership to force an arbitration clause to any future service of theirs I use. Fuck the mouse. Fuck em all. I tried to do it right and that still want enough for them.
