  • Oh man, I’ve managed to get far enough into all this that I have a few things working well but i went through so many periods exactly like that.

    The family nagging really hits home! “This should be working, I did everything it said” only goes so far haha.

    My latest one was that I was helping my neighbour with their internet setup so was on their WiFi. Of course I completely forgot so when I was home trying to SSH into my headless server, it just would not work but I knew my server was working because I was watching Plex on my TV. It took my way longer than it should’ve and I even restarted the server manually before realising I was just on the wrong network…


  • Exactly same here. Even with the loss of content, I was happy to carry on as I wanted 4k so had to take 4 screens, but shared with my sister and mum. In exchange, my sister bought Disney plus so was a good arrangement. When they took away sharing, 4k was not worth it. What am I going to do with 4 screens when I don’t even have that many people in the house! Now we buy neither service and sail the seas. I’d rather pay for Usenet or Debrid than these jokers.

    Also, it got annoying that half the decent TV shows ended after two seasons. You get invested and then bam, you’ll never see it again.

    Both of these are purely Netflix’s decisions.



  • Cisco do free networking courses which teach the fundamentals. The one I did was more theoretical than practical but it really helped me think of what Im really trying to achieve and learning the terminology was really helpful, especially later when trying to troubleshoot and finding help online that was a struggle before the course.

    There are assessments as you progress and a certificate at the end.

    They also have virtual software you can play around with for different potential configurations. Thats much cheaper than buying lots of hardware!


  • Its pretty disgusting of all the ones who rejected her and well done to the one who finally took her. Shame on all of them as humans, let alone “licenced professionals". It cant add that much to the journey times, especially as they happily sit outside train stations and airports waiting for fares!

    Everytime the London black cabbies go on strike or complain about Uber’s business practices, I always cant help but think how much I’ve hated the black cab industry, at least in the UK. I know the Knowledge is difficuly but its also almost useless with technology. Card machines never working, “I’m not going that way", they often dont pick up ethnic minorities, they avoid poorer areas, questionable route taking to increase fees, not actually knowing roads/addresses, don’t help with luggage, dangerous parking and manouvers, racist/sexist “banter". Dont get me wrong, Uber has issues too but I’ve never looked back.

    At least for me it was always just an inconvenience. I cant imagine how frustrating it is for disabled people who have no other option, see these taxis advertising how they are wheelchair accessible are and knowing the law is very clear.
