please don't do this to your synology

leave it to serve files and iscsi. it's very good at it

if you leave it alone, no extra software, it will basically be completely stable. it's really impressive

Specifically looking for non-growth mindset, non-toxic, normal jobs. If you work weekends, please move along. If you grind people against each other in weird secretive stack ranking exercises, please also move along.

I'm nice, helpful, communicative, and open, and I would like to work in a place that expects that. Please.

Weirdly, Windows Server is a better desktop experience.

It does not ask you to play Candy Crush, for example.

shared libs happened because memory was scarce

pretty cool that we are undoing it as a design decision

but it will take a long time

an economist sees a 20 dollar note on the floor. Doesn't pick it up. If it was there, someone would have picked it up already.

maybe you're running a reverse proxy? it can direct you differently depending on how you refer to it

I think you're being a bit unfair here. Apple does care about security and privacy. It's part of their culture.

i like octopus' style too

but i called them to sign up, and they told me my house was two apartments. it isn't. it never has been. and when i asked them to update their data, the operator said that isn't something she can do.

i would be a customer otherwise. sigh.

Zyxel and Fast Networks are also good on the ISP side (Not sure Fast Networks is still a thing - website seems to be down - but I run one of their DSLAMs and am happy with it)

not really

i so desperately want it to work, but it messes up often enough that it's not worth it yet

fwiw, using local intellij with nfs mounted source is a better experience
