Pretty sure most hosting platforms have egress costs on their cheaper VM instances.

I know Google cloud charges for bandwidth to AUS, and Oracle is 10TB of egress per month before charging (which I think is the most generous of free/cheap hosting platforms).

To be fair, I wiped out the custom CSS with RES when I was on there.

Couldn't stand every subreddit thinking it was cute to change random styling for no reason. It was like the old custom myspace page days.

The X in .docx is for XML. MS Word files have actually just been zipped XML files for years now.

Pretty sure Rockstar allows community servers to disable the anti-cheat as well, just like single player.

The GTA RP community at this point is a considerable part of why people are still playing GTA.

Hawaii hasn't had plastic bags for almost a decade at this point. Styrofoam takeout containers have also been banned since around COVID.

Some stores let you buy a paper bag for a few cents, otherwise it's reusable bags you bring. Takeout containers have all transitioned to cardboard or PLA containers.

Some states won't register kei trucks. They aren't fast enough for freeway use or something like that.

Part of the point behind Ventoy is that you don't need to prepare the USB to be bootable. You can just copy/paste the whole iso into Ventoy and it will be bootable. New release comes out? Just copy it onto your USB drive. Don't even need to remove the old version of you don't want to.

Makes things much easier in the tech world for having a single USB with 50+ bootable tools and installers on there like with MediCat (which uses Ventoy as a base).

Only thing I've had issues with booting from Ventoy is the ProxMox install iso. Everything else has worked first try.

Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.

Locking a company out of their systems isn't the most lucrative part of ransomware anymore. Data exfiltration and threatening to release the data to the highest bidder is now the norm.

Ransomware also typically sits on a system doing nothing for ~6 weeks before ever starting to encrypt and upload data. Even if companies have backups to restore from, they need to choose whether they're going to restore entire machines quickly and risk still having the ransomware on the restored machine. Or they can take the long a painful route of spinning up new machines, then restoring just the data itself to individual apps/services to ensure you don't still have ransomware after the restore.

This is actually the worst type of end-user.

Doesn't make a ticket or notify anyone that there is a problem and then proceeds to try and fix it themselves incorrectly. When it does become a ticket, they won't remember exactly what steps they took to troubleshoot and will waste 5x as much time from support staff trying to fix it than if they just didn't touch it in the first place.

Guaranteed didn't wipe the machine from the built in reset/recovery screen and instead used a windows installer that was created on a different computer and doesn't have the correct network drivers in the image.

iPhone still can't report the RSSI of a wireless network. Until they make that work, anyone who works in it/tech has to carry a different device to test wireless networks.

The wireless hardware is in the phone. Just let me use it.

Spent a full day setting up Nextcloud so I could file sync my machines and share files externally. It was slow as hell and didn't work half the time.

Spent 10 minutes spinning up Syncthing and FileBrowser containers and have had zero issues with them since.
