Today is @Dominica birthday

Software updates, and doing some late night coding. Polishing off some wine. We closed our second restaurant on the beach (converting it to additional hotel space) and have lots of leftover wine to go through. Watching a movie while pounding out some code.

@gjacobse I just made a video today about why we use desktops as servers now!

@Oksana Nutanix can't be trusted and can't be considered business class in any sense. They are deceptive and having any contact with them would constitute a risk in any environment.

Saturday morning coding. Having some coffee. Waiting for my potato pancakes to be delivered.

Sorry to hear this -

Is this State side or there in Nicaragua?

Nicaragua.

Also, even the latest Windows 11 USMT from the ADK does not include favorites etc from any of the latest browsers. Not even Edge.

They aren't using the web browsers sync for all that? All web browser stuff should be synced. I wouldn't be able to function without it, using so many different OSs across many different devices. Favorites / bookmarks / etc shouldn't even need to be considered in migrations these days.

They don't even need to manually sign in to the browser for the sync to work depending on your config.

Same, I use FireFox and everything, everywhere "just works", it's so nice.

@Oksana but why do we want to remove it? Is it that much bloat? It doesn't do anything when you don't use it.

Hasn't Windows become a shitshow.

Always was, they just used to be able to claim that the alternatives didn't exist, even though they did. Now, the alternatives are too public and people are more aware that Windows isn't on par. But as someone who came from UNIX and discovered Windows later, Windows has never been good enough to justify, never been "good", never been anything but a joke. Just people re starting to wake up to it because MS isn't putting the resources into hiding it anymore.

This thread makes me so happy we run all Ubuntu and MacOS around here. Not a single official Windows instance. woot woot

Never finished B5,.. I should go back for it...

I've been trying to finish Airwolf, Streethawk and a few others...

I have AIrWold on my server, too. LOL

B5 gets SO dramatic by the end. It started strong.

@scottalanmiller Have you configured federation for your Synapse server?

Yes, for sure.

Weekend of coding here. How is everyone?

My 3rd child was born a couple of weeks ago!
Been busy all around.

Congrats!!

Amazing how hard previously simple things in Windows have become. Sadly, I have no additional insight, with pre-deployment elsewhere it's extra hard.

I just finished all of Babylon 5. NEver saw it when it was new. Wasn't on networks available where I grew up.

Testing Matrix home server deployment while watching baby monitor during infant night shift.

Matrix like Synapse? My Matrix server is NicaHabla.com

Well, I just found something to do when I get home tonight. Matrix with the Synapse stable branch, time for another subdomain in the home lab.

I also run my own PixelFed and Mastodon servers, if anyone wants to link up or make an account on them.

Yes, Synapse. Once I'm done testing things, making sure I can do backups, etc., I'll deploy a production one at theshadowvalley.chat.

We've been in production a few years. It's super cool and works great.
