It's amazing to me how many lengthy discussions on SW come down to just not knowing what basic technology is and having crazy assumptions about it. Like if people just knew what SAN and NAS were it would answer 90% of threads. Instead we have to have lengthy explanations over and over because lacking that simple knowledge of "what it is" leads to all kinds of insanity.
Why do you think so many with so little knowledge end up in SW?
Because they have been welcoming home users and other tech-tarded individuals for quite some time. "For IT pros" means diddly-squat over there, anyone with a computer and an email address to sign up is considered an "IT pro" on SW.

Why would someone mute me over that, especially days later when I've not been on the thread?
Almost sounds to me like someone is going about poisoning the well.

I have 2 users right now that can't get any links to open correctly in IE. When a link is clicked, it opens a new window, full screen, that is blank and never loads up. Neither of them have installed yesterday's updates, and, I truly hate to say, we require the use of IE for our CRM and to connect to customer systems. Should be a fun day tracking this down, convincing users that "yes, you actually need to reboot".

I wouldn't be shocked to find out mods were doing some of that.

Might do so with an rPi for a fully contained / powered system. Hey, .... why not?!

Ohh Ohh Ohh.
Please add this. This has been on my project list forever but just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Something about kids needing to be fed or something.

That OF thread is a perfect example of the state of things. Guy posts that his OF doesn't update. Um, of course not, they've been without updates for something like seven years now. That was the huge beef with them that they built on a useless, dead end OS that went out of business. There is nothing to update. I'm guessing he's run his critical storage for most of a decade without ever trying to update it before?

I can think of 2 reasons off of the top of my head.
- Your own cell phone. Don't have to worry about Google monitoring you with Android and more.
- Home Assistant with this could turn into an alarm system that can alert you if somebody was to break the hard line.
-
Working on a FreeBSD install.
-
Having a pint of Sierra Nevada Celebration fresh hop ale. And a sandwich to go.

You know.. I never thought I would need 3 or even 4 monitors, but sitting here, working today, I realize that I could easily use 3 if not 4.
Assuming a 2 by 2 grid, The bottom two would be my main windows, ML on one monitor, another browser on the other for research. The top two would hold on going installs or something I'm monitoring, or email, etc.
I'm sitting here right now installing updates on XS, each one takes around 6 mins. so I bring up telegram to hit JB up with a question, and have ML on the other monitor, then I bring email up over the XS upgrade... so now i can't easily see the upgrade when it's done...

I have 3 27" monitors and a 40" TV being used as a monitor. I really want to just get 3 more 27"ers so I can stack them but I am pretty sure my husband would say no to that one

why? If they serve a purpose, they are worth while.

Go for 7 monitors, more monitors is always better. Says the guy who used to work with Silicon Graphics equipment. -

I actually could use them. As some windows apps finally get better I am having to use 2 completely different computer setups less and less. 6 monitors to keep track of all the social media stuff, management stuff etc. isn't a stretch to prove the need for them

OK crazy me - 27 updates for XenServer 7... did the first 20'sh by hand.. then tried XO, the last 6 or so all went in at once though XO...
gotta remember, even though I barely have need for XO, that feature is kinda worth it.
