I still have to log in via fucking RDP to set it up.

Nah you don’t. I’ve made plenty of headless installations for windows. You think everyone with a datacenter with hundreds of windows servers logs in to each of them with RDP? You can do it with an unattended.xml file. Which is harder to do than what I had to do to make a headless raspberry pi ubuntu server. By a lot, although if you look long enough, you might be able to copy someone else’s unattended.xml.

Also, Windows Event Viewer still blows

Yeah, it’s… an acquired taste. You can actually script it. But it is harder than string manipulation, since the events are all objects, not strings.

Then why has every Windows admin I’ve ever had to deal with use the GUI?

Cause I’m lazy.

This is more about your windows knowledge than windows. All the stuff you’re mentioning can easily be done remotely with powershell remoting.

Also, I often just SSH to windows servers. Works fine, has been like that for years now.

Go with docker images and save your setup files/commands, so you can always redeploy on a NAS/new server later. Go with lscr.io/linuxserver images.

It probably took me a good 20 hours to setup. Then dozens more hours to get my existing library imported, but that’s just part of the process.

Initially it is time intensive, but it’s totally worth it. Make sure you make proper backups, so you don’t lose your work.

That’s probably 150 aborted campaigns totaling 900 hours and two completed 25 hour each campaigns. Source: I’m at around 1500 hours, maybe 2000. A lot of it predates steam, so I don’t know exactly.

I’ve only completed one campaign ever. At some point you know you’ve won and you’re just steamrolling. So why bother.

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

Probably just Rossman being paranoid, I assume.

You are appealing to reason, the people that are in favor of defederation are doing so based on emotion (because they simply can’t have enough information, because no one has that right now).

I’m not saying either approach is inferior, sometimes it’s better to use reason, sometimes it’s better to use emotion, I don’t know what is better in this case (there’s a component of future prediction to it, how you can even do that properly, I don’t know).

But I don’t think appealing to reason works in this particular case. People that are willing to act on emotions aren’t going to change that for rational reasons, they’ll change it for emotional reasons. You’ll have to give them emotional messages instead.

Not to the degree what I’m used to. It’s very minimal. It’ll probably take a year or two before it’s fully there, is my expectation.

It’s not an easy thing to make and it doesn’t have the highest priority generally. Reddit didn’t even have automoderator for years.

Just make an extra account… I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of reddit accounts, on reddit I already kept my participation separated and I used containers to quickly switch between them. It’s fine, I wouldn’t even notice a difference.

I thought the whole point of federation was that everything from every federated instance was connected and I only need one account to see every part of it.

That was never going to happen, not even in the best possible case.

Far left and far right are always going to split off. Do you want to be having discussions about race with neo nazis? I don’t. Let them go to their own dark corner of the internet.

Oh yeah, I’ve got a whole bunch from both beehaw and lemmy on my kbin.
