Thanks for the post Spud!

Today reminds me why I stopped being super into IT in my personal life.

::: spoiler spoiler For those who get it:

Have 2 identical thin client lenovos. One is a torrent box, the other is supposed to be a media player.

Spend insane amount of time cloning the drive from one to the other. Normal solution won't let you deploy because it's locked behind a pay wall.

Grab cracked version. Doesn't work. Try several more. Eventually find nfo that states everything works EXCEPT DEPLOY!!!! (fuck you Macrium Reflect).

Finally find a solution (I love you clonezilla). Burn boot iso with Rufus. Re do imaging.

It works!!!

Plug into TV. Boot logo, but blackscreen in OS. Fuck around until I finally get it working.

Onboard graphics card too weak to decode large mkv.

Get angry. List it on marketplace.

Edit: just for the record, all of this, was to avoid reinstalling the OS and some apps. It would have been easier to just give up and accept defeat.

As an aside, the part of Egypt my old man is from are known Egypt wide as "stubborn headed donkies".

Draw your own conclusions lol

Ooof wtf? I have emvbedded pc 3000s that we use for media players

(Actually i may even have a spare....)

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 67d (3 replies)

It was stuttering on anything larger than 50gb and that's reading of a usb C ssd.

Streaming off an smb share was better but not worth it. I'm keeping it to create a private cloud with a spare 10tb drive.

Google has started scanning my cloud drive for pirated software and blocking the upload.

Apparently works by hash but who knows.

Fuck em.

Ugh. Bus issues. Thin clients arent the beefiest of beasts but that's ridiculous

Got the stressies today. Need to get some writing done for a project. Need to nick out and buy some food I forgot yesterday. Need to do some meal prep and washing. Lying in oodie stressing. Why are brains like this???

Ok. Shower. Coffee. Round up and put washing on. Stand in kitchen thinking while I have coffee. Nick to shops. Quick walk along beach or just sit in sun. Home. More coffee and quick snack. Computer time for the afternoon. No naps. I repeat no naps.

once you get is sorted it's easy 👍

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 68d (1 reply)

Writing can be hard, especially when you NEED to do it. I got taught a method for writing SEO slop before AI where you write the headline, then the subheadings underneath, and just go in and add further context under each subheading to flesh it out. I hope something like that can help you get started

imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 67d

Yep that's the way I do it! then bounce around the bits I'm inspired to write. This one is hard because I thought it was done and then the client suggested a reasonably big structural change. I agree with them but in my head I was at the finish line :-. But I have coffee, snacks, oodie and cat visitor curled up on the desk....lets go!

Find cute dress, in stock in correct size! Unable to buy because Boyo afraid of spiders 😿

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 67d (1 reply)

Spider pattern on dress?

Catfish@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 67d

Yep. Webs are fine, cartoonish spiders are fine, these were too realistic.

Miss Meow and I are in negotiations for room in the bed. My attempts to explain that I need more room because I am not liquid are not going well.

I'm finding it very hard to get moving this morning. It's freaking cold.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 68d (2 replies)

warm shower, warm clothes, hot tea 🙂

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 68d (1 reply)

Heater up, 2 strong coffees and a pep talk. 🙂

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 68d

that's what I would do but am reticent to tell other people

MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 68d

I had a good 9 hours of sleep.

Took about 30 minutes to get moving this morning. Managed a nice walk in the sun, which kind of gave me energy.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 68d (3 replies)

goddam awful week, sick with bad head cold, allergy attack that nearly put me in hospital, strange guy who walked in house at night

MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 68d (2 replies)

My illness really wrecked me for the initial week. Second week just a lot of coughing and mucus. Pretty much passed it now, but still get a cough attack here and there.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 67d (1 reply)

so many hugs, glad you are better,

this is a tenacious one

MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 67d

Hope your recovery goes well too. And no more strangers in the house either.

Good morning Seagoon 🌞 if people were muffins, you'd be the perfect top part of a slightly crispy, still warm and moist, apple, cinnamon and honey muffin.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 68d

why thank you, I sound delicious ...lol

RustyRaven@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 67d (2 replies)

Hmm, I think I have a hairline crack in my tablet's screen . There is a very faint discolouration in a line and I can just barely feel it. It is getting on in years, maybe it is time to start planning a replacement.

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 67d (1 reply)

I bought a MS surface tablet with a cracked screen five years ago and it's been fine.

RustyRaven@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 67d

It's mostly just annoying me because I keep thinking there is a smear on the screen. I looked it up and this model is 10 years old, so I think I'll be looking to replace soon anyway. I'm tossing up getting a 2 in 1 laptop instead of a tablet, but I'm really not sure if they are a good option or not. It would be nice to have the full programs available and I mostly use it at work & home, so don't need it to be super portable.

Bike ride with the bicycle users group today. Haven't been on one in a while

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 68d (2 replies)

Looks like a nice day for it. I'm cycling Brunswick to Springy today.

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 68d (1 reply)

That's quite the ride. I'm looking forward to doing those sorts of long rides when I can

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 67d

I'm getting my bike fitness back pretty quickly. The eBike takes care of most of it while I peddle and chill.

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 68d

Rode through a cluster of those little bugs you can only see when the sun hits them perfectly this morning and had that thing happen where a bug hits the back of your throat perfectly and you swallow it, and that thing where a bug flies into your eye and gets stuck in there happen both at the same time.

A tale of two youtube algorithms

I have my normal YT I log into , it has my subscriptions and such, nice channels like archeology, movie discussions, etc

and then there is my non channel I look at , not logged into, a browser that doesn't track me so much

and the difference is like night and day

the not logged into one is scary, sometimes I will watch something just to see what other people are watching 😐😢 crazy insane shit like Prince Andrew is a scapegoat is the worst thing I have seen this week , so many fake and AI self help where the message is always be alone, other people are bad, you are always right

what would a person become if they watched all that hate and division , I reckon in 3 months they would be nuts

I've copped a few bans for 'inciting violence'.

you quoted trump again?

MeanElevator@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 67d

Hahaha...not quite

I supported violent retribution for someone who committed hideous crimes.

But I'm the bad guy in that.

Shopping done, including presents for family birthdays. Little rest, restructured the report of doom so I can now tackle writing in little bits this week. Scored some Barra so fishy dinner is next.

RustyRaven@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 67d

It's a good day for fishes. I had whiting for my dinner.
