You laugh, and here I am faced with a similar problem. I asked to count my academic points, but they refused me. I had to count myself through the https://www.collegegpacalc.com/.

Actually, I cringe because your spammy-ass account still exists. Do us all a favor and go die in a fire. Take some of your spammer friends with you.

Fact checking a comedy joke is really pedantic.

If it means anything I LOLed in my office at your post.

Plus the thought of YOU probably giggling as you wrote it.

Both my posts on this thread had me chuckling. But I've been on ML long enough to know someone is going to swoop in and rain out the parade.

I have it restored and going again with a nice starting area (big castle and useful things).

realmc.minecraftr.us (that's my free afraid.org domain name for it specifically)

Or if you prefer, tgserv.timothygruber.com.

Oh, it's version 1.12.2. I didn't update it yet because there's a couple plugins I run that haven't updated yet.

The more I read, the more I like. Ultimately, it's just a way for me and the boys to enjoy spending time together. We also play a lot of board games and card games.

We've had the issue with Minecraft that it doesn't run on most of our computers (we only have a few Windows boxes for video games) and it runs poorly on tablets, and because of Microsoft's draconian controls, my kids can't play with the family. So this looks like it would solve that.

And there's plenty of games and mods, etc, for it too!

It seems to me that everything will get better, as there are always some deviations for a while. Everything is not forever and everything changes. If you are very worried about the safety of your cryptocurrency, do as I transfer through the redacted to another currency and not lose anything

Or to future proof it all, just run fiber now!

Running of the fiber isn't the issue. It's terminating it that is the issue.

And for a residence. . . really just go WiFi since 802.11ax is on it's way.

We are years away from that being anything worthwhile. Because even wants to spec a standardized and official it’ll be years before all the devices work their way into all the homes and then you replace all the existing devices to finally use the new standard at which point there’s already a new new standard.

QS in my thread was meant to be Intel's feature, Quick Sync. I generally only use acronyms in the context of that thread, or if they are used industry wide. If there is doubt, I tend to stay away and just spell it out.

Exactly - I could see the use of QS in your thread becuase you mentioned Quick Sync in a previous post.

But if William is talking about servers - and doens't spell out that he's talking about people each and every time, there are just going to be problems. Now - it's possible that context will make the need to spell this out unnecessary, but expecting people in an ebbing and flowing community like this to read this OP and just know what William is talking about, yeah.. I wouldn't expect it to work.

That was a main reason for this post.. But, Can I ask Why you are using my full name?

I go by Will since the 6th Grade.. Looks weird seeing my full name plastered all over LOL

Makes me feel like I'm in trouble... LOL

Sorry - cause we've never called you Will? and your handle wasn't on the screen and I couldn't remember you screen name 😛

LOL I guess you're right. You guys never have called me Will.
Maybe on Facebook cause that's my name there.

LOL i dont have to ask Jono.. I'm sure I already know what he's going to say.

@Donahue said in Where do I start with replacing the whole MS AD stack:

sing reservations.

I think your knowledge of FG is not allowing you to do this, just create a new interface with the desired subnet and leave or tick DHCP option. And they you can do it what you want with it. Create an IPv4 policy to give access to internet to the new interface.

Thank you all for your lovely greetings!

@WLS-ITGuy said in Do you ask for permission...:

I guess this question can apply to the MSPs that may be here as well.

Do you always ask for permission to take a server down? Or do you give them a time frame that it will be down? Or do you just reboot at your leisure?

Lately, any time I give anyone warning that at a certain time I will be rebooting a server I get push back. I have become "that guy" and just reboot whenever the F I want now.

Anyone else?

Depends on the client, some client wants you to take care of everything and will not care, some wants reason for everything. Try to identify early on which and which and treat accordingly, however it is best to play safe even if that means staying late and waiting for approvals

I'm hoping to [finally] score a new laptop. I got my eyes on one. Just waiting for a big check in the mail... or win the lottery, lol.

i'd use dark on ML if the editors followed the theme. Do they yet? They didnt when I first joined.

I love how after all that desperation, they end with "don't date a man with too many loose buttons". The whole thing is like "don't be picky, take anyone with a pulse" and ends with the pickiest sh1t ever.

Sunshine, Existenz, Dark City, Splice, The Thing, Escape from NY, THX 1138, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, Source Code, District 9, Solaris - the original one, Interstellar, Gravity, 2001 Space Odyssey, Total Recall - original, remake is just bad.

@s-hackleman said in Can anyone recommend a great GPS tracker for bicycles?:

I looked into these about a year ago before I got my new bike. At that time there were so many gotcha's. The small ones had bad battery life, the bigger ones were obvious, the cheap ones had horrible signal quality. In the end, it was best for me to invest in a quality lock with theft insurance. That way it is locked, and if it is taken, then I just get a new bike. Sorry I can't offer a better solution.

No, that's good advice so long as it's an option available where I'll be, and not one I had thought of.

@Obsolesce said in Who are you following on Twitter?:

I just use twitter to stay current... like a better news feed really.

I find it useless, because the feed contains retweets of crap I don't care about.

Quite the opposite for me...

It's actually where I discover some of the most interesting or important news and happenings relevant to the feeds I'm following, where I'll otherwise miss it completely.

Everytime I see @scottalanmiller's face it surprises me. I know I've scrolled down too far though.

Which reminds me of IBM's PS/2.

What a train wreck that thing was.

Guess what made up the entire computer lab in my high school... Yep IBM PS/2. They actually network booted.

That's crazy. that must be all that IBM ever managed to sell.

My theory is that some company bought a whole bunch of them, realized they were terrible, and donated them to the school for a tax write off.

They had all apple IIe's at my computer labs growing up. I was always told it was because apple basically gave them to schools for near free, maybe at cost or something, and that it was part of the strategy to get people on one particular platform at an early age. It was always inconvenient because the files were never compatible between our home PC and the ones at the schools.

That and the Apple ][ were just awful.

I still have the one from my elementary school.
