   I work for an MSP that uses Datto to back up lots of servers and saved our bacon after the Kaseya hack! (Ironic how they're buying you now.) And I remember when you were using VBox, QEMU is much improved. Having QEMU boot up the backed

   My brother-in-law streams on Twitch, but I only really find it interesting when he's playing an adventure or JRPG game with a plot and story. Right now he's doing one day a week of Final Fantasy X for a couple hours and it's

   I still use Pidgin for XMPP and the increasingly-unreliable-Facebook-Messenger plugin, along with a Gnome extension that allows me to reply directly to chat popups from the notification no matter what virtual desktop I'm on. I really

    Probably what we need to do is figure out what COVID has in common with the other viral infections (esp. how they affect the body long term, which wasn't a huge thing people were talking about or researching pre-COVID), and then we fro

    I do see it as a good quote and wasn't puzzled. Perhaps we simply disagree?

    Great advice. But I’m not gonna tell my 7 year old he’ll have a career in Minecraft or Roblox in the future!

    Sort of like the plot of the OG Star Trek episode All Our Yesterdays. Going back in time to avoid your planet death: Now that’s nostalgia for real.

    It made my life as an MSP easier for sure and allowed us to support more clients and bigger businesses and get more done. But I fear you might be right, and it just isn’t worth the risk of a hole like this. Now I’m going to be up for days r

    This was a great article (I read it last week). It's nice that there are a lot of playthroughs of these adventures on youtube, here's on for St Bride's "Very Big Cave Adventure": https://www.youtube.com&#

    I am just amazed people pay attention to the ads. I’m sure this is happening to me but my brain has gotten so good at filtering them out that I have no idea what they’re even trying to sell me!

    The reason I submitted this is because I know several businesses that still use VB6 programs every day, and a couple software developers who use VB6 nearly every day! (One major accounting package, Sage 500, is written mostly in VB6 too.)

    I'd be interested in that too, since audacious is what I usually run when I just want to listen to some random file, or live music where I need gapless mp3 support (what other players support it?) If I want access to my library I&#x27
