Yes. Anyone who says otherwise is a goddamn liar.

Getting started with openwrt there were a few times i fucked the config so badly the only resolution was to nuke from orbit and start from scratch

Yeah anyone with that info is not gonna actually name the companies in question lol.

But i know four in Melbourne. And i can tell you that most serious server infrastructure is nix. Especially in ISPs, RADIUS babyyyy

My fave was spending a weekend downloading the good omens radio series to find it was Queen’s Greatest Hits

Media server, two players, openwrt mesh, webserver.

Now we own (in this economy!) adding in a beefier firewall so we can run up a hubitat on a dedicated proxmox and looking at setting up a pve for work reasons because fuck cloning all these system OS drives. Maybe nagios for shits and giggles

The ironic meta is delicious

Googling doesn’t work any more, they’re incentivised to keep you searching fruitlessly for as long as possible so they can serve more ads

that’s because google is geared towards selling shit, not locating articles on the internet.

DDG shits me with its “oh a - symbol means show less of something” no it means I want it fucking elimated you fl00n.

Google’s been heading that way for a while, but goddamn this last month it’s completely shat the bed.

My fave was the other night whrn a search for ‘vast visual auditory sensory theatre’ (literal artist and album) gave me top results of scholarly articles. Trying to google song lyrics gave me fucking screen issues. Utterly useless now.

Yandex gives some fun results, when was the last time you saw non-reddit forum posts pop up?

That article was a weird mix of insider info and wild inaccuracies

Fucking hell the raws woulda been gigantic

Digital Cinema Package. Films come out in a buncha files that rather resemble a dvd rip. You got your video files (still called reels!) and your audio files, maybe some subtitle files and other bits and pieces and your assetmap (list of files) all in a big fat folder collectively called a DCP

Hahahah did you enjoy Australian Internet? It’s wonderfully archaic

(MPS, Delux, Gofilex or Qubewire?)

A small dcp is around 500gb. But that’s like basic film shizz, 2d, 5.1 audio. For comparison, the 3D deadpool 2 teaser was 10gb.

Aspera’s commonly used for transmission due to the way it multiplexes. It’s the same protocolling behind Netflix and other streamers, although we don’t have to worry about preloading chunks.

My laughter is mostly because we’re transmitting to a couple thousand clients at once, so even with a small dcp thats around a PB dropped without blinking

I work in cinema content so hysterical laughter

I have a switch controller that requires two plug ins to work

Ugh, my field (tech) means i have to have more than a passing familiarity with it

SORBS

I run slack with no gui as my webserver.

…been running it since 2001, guilty as charged lmao

12tb on the fileserver (Enigma)

Big Finish and music live on my main rig.

Anyone used it for multiusers with separate menus?
