It stands for New Technology File System from back in the Windows NT days, like NT 3.1 in the early 90s (my brain always thinks of Windows 2000 NT when that was really like NT 5).

I think I prefer your definition.

I have used both but just started using jotty (jotty.page, github link on the bottom). The SSO setup with Authentik was seamless and it seems really snappy so far and the Dev seems active and involved.

I personally like to use a proxy for that like NPM (a handy dockerized nginnx proxy setup). Not as secure as a VPN but I really like being able to access my stuff from anywhere I’m likely to be. I’ve combined it with a few other things to try and add simplicity (in use) and a little extra privacy by using Authentik for SSO. My main goal with the use of NPM though was to limit the number of ports I had punched.

That makes sense! I always forget about those types of salads lol. Thanks!

I feel like he might be referring to Miracle Whip as it is (or at least was when I was paying attention in the 80s/90s) sold as “salad dressing”. No clue why they called it that but it was a cheap alternative to mayonnaise that had a tangy zip.

Now I have real mayonnaise made with eggs in my house (my mom was always weirded out by non-refrigerated egg products).

Yes indeed! There are a lot of tricks old Windows admins still hold onto to get stuff done and sometimes it’s so damn frustrating (like resorting to BITS to move files at times).

My Windows skills are slowly leaving me… and I work in a Windows environment. Thanks for the words of confidence, given how long I’ve been the computer guy I guess it’s a bit of a shot to the ego to be real about it at times!

Thanks for this! I’ve just got mine setup and will set up the SSO tomorrow. Seems like exactly like what I’m looking for, you rock!

Edit: just wanted to add, setting it up in authentik was insanely easy and worked perfect! Thank you for what is really an awesome piece of software!

I got a ‘dangerous site’ warning and then prompts for crap on my Vaultwarden instance (didn’t see it on Immich but this was a while ago). I think I had to prove I owned the domain with some DNS TXT records then let them “recheck” the domain. It seems to have worked.

I’m in a similar spot, my closest teammates are about 80 miles away and everything is over teams. My only solace is the fact no one works in my building so it’s really quiet (almost too quiet at times).

Edit: Solice and solace are different words

After reading your comment I had to do more searching and I guess they did actually use it in America… For the bike that I never saw in person, made by Life Fitness.

Edit to add: Now I wonder if I’ll ever find one now that I’m looking

Hmm… I remember seeing this going back long before 2019 and it definitely wasn’t in Russian. Great read though, I can never start reading it without finishing it.

The only time I called a number similar was the one on the bottom of my NES or SNES to ask about a connector and what it was for… The guy said it was like a trailer hitch in case they wanted to make something to connect to it. To my country boy self, that made sense. I don’t know if they ever used it.

I’m kind of with you on this, volunteer has always been something done of a persons own volition without recieving compensation. Even when someone is holding a sign saying “will work for food” they are trying to barter, not voluneer for something.

I think as I get older I just get less willing to accept new uses for existing words. I grew up without a lot of social interaction so I may just not fully understand, or maybe it’s just something that was lost in translation.

Yeah but shouldn’t the order matter? My understanding was that && just said 'after the previous command, run this… ’ so running upgrade before update would miss any changes changes to repos… From what I can tell update is required before upgrade (just like you have it), doing it in reverse missed a ton of updates for me.

I may be totally confused but I’ve also always done it in that order, otherwise I feel like it would run upgrades from your cache of the apt repos (possibly hitting errors as stuff likes to change), then after it would run apt update (updating the repos).

My thought has always been update repos, then check those repos for software upgrades. I could definitely be wrong though.

Haha, yes, he has played that one quite a bit!

Just tossing this out there, if your son hasn’t seen it yet, show him Portal. I showed it to my son when he was starting to get into computers and its still one of his favorites in college.

Umm… Not sure if you are serious but knowledge is meant to be shared so… A reverse proxy isn’t really for convenience, it sits between two networks and proxies traffic according to specific rules. It also has the benefit of masking the origin server a bit (like its IP) and in a lot of cases can be used as a way to ensure traffic going to a server or service that doesn’t support transport encryption actually transverses the internet within a secure tunnel.

At least we are more likely to hear about them than we would for PMS. Quickest way to find vulnerabilities is to have as many eyes as possible on it, if you only let the 20 devs you employ look a lot can be missed. Just my opinion though.
