Almost a chuckle

I’m still on google for email and a bit of drive, calendar etc. I’ve been reading stuff about Proton with some interest as I’d like to ditch google. This doesn’t encourage me - what’s the point of a mobile only plan? Isn’t half the point of a cloud drive to allow sharing with other platforms? I’m just thinking aloud here - I could go read their offerings where I’d probably find that it’s their lowest entry level tier and they have less restrictive plans with clients for various platforms?

I must be old - it’s WordPerfect to me.

Where do you live that Antarctica is “up”?

Once an end-to-end, encrypted, connection is established between a pair of peers then anything can be sent through it. The establishment proces is generally facilitated by a server of some description so neither peer needs to allow inbound connections. (I’m a long, long way from being an expert on this and happy to be corrected - but this seems like network fundamentals?)

Wow my memory is bad - I’d forgotten I had seen them live until I read this. I had to look up their tour history to figure out that it must have been the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour. Listening to their albums now I much prefer the earlier stuff, but they still put on a good show in '88.

I don’t know Bauhaus well - Bela Lugosi’s Dead was on a mixtape I got from someone, and I enjoyed it, so I listen to them a bit. But I imagine they would be awesome live - I’m jealous.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, supported by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, at the Coogee Bay Hotel in 1985, or maybe '86.

Arrived nice and early, just the right amount stoned, and got right up front leaning on the stage.

I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I’m seeding is old (10+ years) and I’m the only seed.

It’s a 3 way tie between Back in Black, Led Zeppelin II and Wish You Were Here.

On a Commodore64?

Nothing that exciting. I just live in a very small community, quite a distance from any larger community, and I’m pretty sure that at the scale of that map - my community doesn’t exist. If I zoom in enough, maybe there’s something there, but I think it’s digital compression artefacts.

I don’t think I am - and I do like it.

India has 17% of the world’s population - on a scale like this image, that’s not far off “about half”! It looks right to me.

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

That is such a fucked up view of the world that I have a hard time accepting that it’s real (even though I know it’s quite common).

No, I didn’t.

But there’s no future profit for Sonos in them providing the ability for us to play music we already own from our own library.

There was an unofficial option for rollback - I’m on Android so I went to apkmirror and downloaded the last good version and turned off auto update. This worked for a while, but then they forced me to update - it literally said I had to update to continue using. I’ve seen someone say this wasn’t actually a forced update, but rather keeping all the parts of your network in sync. I have one Sonos device and my phone is the only things that connects to it??

My issue was specifically the windows sync client - not server or web related. I turned on debug in the client and watched the logs and saw it making stupid (IMHO) decisions about speed throttling.
