I had that after my Lasik for about three months. That said, it was twenty one years ago, and I needed lenses so thick they couldn’t do glass, and I now may need reading glasses because of age and a totally unrelated retina issue. Been 20/20 for twenty years.

Could you mean the IP address of the DNS server? I think of DNS like a phone book. It’s a list of all the domain names like canadiancancersociety.org and their corresponding IP addresses like 209.15.37.6. the DNS server would basically be “where’s the phone book?” The most common ones being 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, Google and CloudFlare. I use 9.9.9.9!

Today I learned that Jellyfin does music. Had Jellyfin and Navidrome both for years, never even tried sticking my music library into Jellyfin. I use Substreamer on my Androids.

This! I also have an old GPU in it, passed through to whichever VM I want to game on! Total pain to set up, but then also a pain to use! I forget why I did it…

Blaster bomb at two places: Miss!

94$ USD, and no mention of how much is in a bottle… Sus.

I have Nextcloud, and it was running as a snap in a laptop, then a desktop, then a VM. It’s 12 years old now, no loss of files, about 2 TB stored.

Moving it from a snap to an AiO install is always, like, the fourth thing on my to-do list. The snap always decides to update at the least convenient times and takes hours!

Still, 12 years… Says something.

I saw three different neurologists! I had a spinal tap done too, and a bunch of tests involving a VR headset. My neurologist was not great. Basically assessed that I wasn’t having a stroke and then lost interest.

Oh yeah, I tried that too! That was actually one of the first ones they gave me.

I had a 26-month long migraine… What med? I tried four different triptans, indomethacin, gabapentin, qulipta, Botox… (So much Botox!)

Beat me to the punch!

Yeah, I would do the same… Loving toolbox! I have to support some clients with VMWare though…

Hehe… Try installing VMware Player or Genshin Impact in Fedora! (Those are my two most recent headaches.) Any OS can be a pain, it just seems like Linux is getting friendlier every year and Microsoft becomes more overtly the enemy.

I just got top work and asked a senior tech: 24H2 + a 25H2 enablement package to make bypassnro still work for us. Geez.

Huh, that’s weird that I’ve been able to use the bypass NRO trick pretty consistently at work and at home… I should have mentioned the Rufus thing too, but he was doing this as a reset, not as a new install, so I didn’t.

Reset, once it’s done downloading (if you go cloud), pull your network cable. When it gets to “let’s get you online” hit shift f-10 which pulls up the terminal window. Type oobe\bypassnro and hit enter. Stay offline, and get back to the same spot in the install process but this time you’ll have a “I don’t have internet” link as an option. It’ll protest, but you can then move forward with a local account. I literally did it yesterday.

Once you have a local account built, Windows will give you “sign in” alerts in settings and in security.

Just for the record, I use Linux. I do however work in a Windows shop and understand that “just use Linux” isn’t at all helpful when someone asks a Windows question.

Can I recommend pocketknife? There’s a guy who writes hilarious reviews of knives. Only about one a week, but weird knife Wednesday is almost as high on my list of fun stuff as Taco Tuesday!
