Paul Blart is a fictional mall security guard. Kinda incompetent, excessive sense of self importance, but a good guy.

Derek Chauvin was a real cop who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on him, cutting off his airway until he died.

I use a 2012 Mac Mini running OPNSense. I use the Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter in addition to the built in Ethernet. You could probably do the same for the MacBook Pro. I have a separate switch and access point. It works really well. And it was cheap.

I thought this said IKEA at first and was very confused.

I use a Norton Commander clone (Total Commander) lol. Having a huge list of bookmarks in a drop-down menu with subfolders is super helpful for my work.

All our network shares are Azure hosted, so Microslop is getting corporate $$$ regardless. And I think that bug has been around since forever.

Dude. Same. Windows 11 at work is fucking awful.

My laptop idles at 12 out of 16 gigs of RAM free.

Right clicking takes dozens of seconds, especially on a network share.

Did IT remove a letter mapped network drive? Haha! Fuck you! Windows hangs indefinitely if you open Windows explorer. You gotta fuck around in the registry to remove that shit.

The only good thing about windows 11 is tabs in Windows explorer. Which MacOS and Linux have had for a gazillion years.

I believe the only part of Meshcore that’s not FOSS is the official app, and there’s a FOSS alternative.

Personally, I’d use Meshcore. I tried MT for a month or so. I never saw a conversation, just a few scattered “test” messages. Meanwhile, on MC, I was away from my phone for 4 hours yesterday and came back to 250+ coherent messages in a conversation from all over the region (not to mention the hundreds of test messages).

MT is better in ad-hoc situations since clients can repeat messages, but MC is better for establishing a region-wide communication network.

And both use LoRa which is proprietary.
