I dunno. It’s plugged in directly to the modem/router provided by my ISP while my wifi is provided by a separate mesh setup, which is also plugged in to the modem/router 🤷♂️

Mongostein@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?English5·20 days agoI was going to try to host my music on Jellyfin, but I had an issue.
Since 2005 I’ve been curating my music collection with my old iPod that I still use.
I like my albums in release order so, with the iPod in mind, probably 80% of them are named [year] - [album]
Lidarr and Jellyfin won’t find them because of this and I don’t want to manually sort through 2000-some albums.
So I still use my iPod (20 years old next year!)

Mongostein@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi1·24 days agoWe have bins around our city for people to drop electronics off for recycling. I’ve taken a few laptops from there. You’re not supposed to, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
One I gave to my buddy who needed something just for emails and web browsing and whatnot, one is running a server, and a couple more went back in to the bin because they were actually broken, but I took the hard drives for the server machine. I have one on a self ready in case the server machine dies so I haven’t gone looking for any new ones in a while.

You don’t have to do everything in an open world game. Just go from main mission to main mission and you’ve pretty much turned it in to a linear game.

My ISP sends me emails saying (paraphrased) “we’re only forwarding this email because we have to. We don’t track your data and your IP logs are wiped every 30 days. Your best option is not to respond because then they would know who you are.”
I mean, I don’t know that ALL of them work that way, but the ones I’ve seen do. I have mixed feelings about the whole scenario.
I just installed Mint and some games on 5 Thinkpad T420s my boss was going to throw out. Sunday’s LAN party was pretty fun.
Is this my future?
