This meme makes a good point I’ll look into it tomorrow. I’m too busy ignoring the mountain of stuff I need to get done today to have the time

Yeah. But unless MS has blocked you, I still don’t see the point getting it elsewhere.

I use Jellyfin for movies and shows but sub to a streaming service for music. To me, it’s worth the monthly cost to put millions of songs at my reach all with impeccable quality. The convenience alone not withstanding. But music is super important to me and I don’t go a day without it. I haven’t seen anything close to that if you pirate.

I ripped my old CDs way back in like 2003 and didn’t join a streaming service till 2019. I’ve added more bangers and almost doubled my collection since then.

I kind of count my blessings as to only having to sub to that service. I have friends that pay $300 a month for Netflix, Diznee+, etc. And here I am getting by on $6 a month. Totally not mad.

Always download your Windows ISOs from MS directly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO?msockid=1f1e1899fbc26e530dcb0cebfa3f6f8b

The moment you get them from somewhere else, no, it cannot be deemed 100% safe.

Mass grave uses the exact same method as a real Windows validation would. To MS it’s undetectable and if you register your hardware, permanent (unless you swap your motherboard). I have my old NAS registered at the hardware level so no matter how many times I’ve reinstalled Windows, it sticks.

Mass grave is bullet proof and 100% safe. The only way MS can kill it is if they completely retool their Windows registration system and the odds of that are about the same as them making Windows respect your privacy.

No, I don’t mind you asking at all!

Jellyfin. V1.9 is a huge leap forward.

I’ve just started hiding penises in my work. Your move AI.

Yeah thank the heavens the deal was squashed. It was a bold move even for Adobe.

Building a NAS in this day and age is trivial. Hard drive space is cheaper and far more economical than paying $20 a month for a service. The way prices are going it's going to soon hit parity with car payments.

I had an old PC from 2012 with an i3 dual core in it. Ran a headless Linux server. Raided the 2 3TB drives. Done. It was replaced by a 4 TB SSD and since those have nowhere near the failure rates of HDDs, one and one. It servers files off my main computer which is a beefy Mac.

Enabled file sharing. Opened the port on my firewall. Done. It's one of the easiest services to offload to a homebuilt rig.

Not feasible in a work environment. Photopea works just fine if you simply need CS6 level Ps. Just need a browser.
