Thank you for your sacrifice

If you grew up with commercial TV, not only is the frequency of ads on youtube bad, but the placement–in the middle of a sentence or a scene–is mentally and emotionally destructive.

Seems like youtube forces sign-in using Unwatched on iOS? An alternative is Vinegar which replaces the video player in Safari, and skips the ads, mostly and usually (until youtube updates some things then vinegar needs to catch up).

People aren’t just objecting to the quality of the software, and even more than objecting to the relentless commercialization at every opportunity in the ‘smart’ features, they are rightfully worked up about the firehose of surveillance telemetry these devices are feeding back to the manufacturers.

ADHD: functional notes in abbreviated version on fat strips of painter’s tape on server case or shelf. Passwords go on page dedicated to that server or service in a little black notebook, then eventually in a password manager.

Readme file if my brain lets me, usually 3 months later after hyperfocus on troubleshooting.

So slightly better ping than my ISP, then.

9d old account, 329 comments, mostly one-liners, mostly combative. Hm. More No U. OK

OK then, a “no u” troll. I did give you some benefit of the doubt. I see your comment history is full of edgy quips but not a bot or state troll, just low quality one liners and lots of contempt on your sleeve. Too bad.

Huh, you aren’t very good at this forum thing, eh?

Just explain your position relative to the post, critique the article with some relevant information, and then you haven’t been toxic.

Or you can go all aggro and piss on the floor like you just did. But you might have better luck over on reddit or Xitter.

I have been looking at Saltcorn for this purpose, and it seems quite interesting. I can’t verify it or vouch for it, however.

If I had more time, I would love to play with it and try and build things. But I am pretty busy. So I am also looking at replacing my specialized CRM with something open source and self-hosted.

It’s not pretty, but I will probably settle on Dolibarr as it’s non-American, comprehensive, and there are docker implementations.

Edit: rereading your use case, I think you should look harder at Dolibarr as it is FOSS, widely used, and comprehensive but you can disable what you don’t need. Save your team the development time.

Explain or go home.

A good hands-on approach with less risk is to rent a managed vps or shared webhost for a short period, and explore how they have it set up, and what you can do with it. See if you can get ssh access.

Don’t deploy anything serious, just Hello World sandbox stuff. Go watch the logs to see just how nmany bots are looking for wordpress sites, etc. Use the softaculous installer, if available, to quickly mess with different app deployment.

Look at the zone editor to see how domains are configured, though shared hosting will be odd sett and limited by the hosting company. See the antispam and security settings. Look at how they set up email accounts, and mess with the database editor(s).

At each step, have a browser window open with reference docs. If you are learning linux terminal commands, I strongly suggest upgrading from basic man reference material and using the tl;dr webapp.

edit: note that renting a shared webhost will probably be better with a small hosting company running cpanel as big companies like godaddy (friends don’t let friends use godaddy) use proprietary site management software that obscures just how shitty their setup is.

Best I can do is the SE/30, in peach, tangerine, and cerulean.

OK, well, you have a lot more tolerance for tape hiss and compression artifacts and muted highs than I do, the only quiet tapes I’ve heard were big fat studio tapes when I had access to a research studio.

I spent so many years trying to get a decent field recording out of the best portable recording (cassette) decks that I may be a little traumatized. DAT recording was a revelation, even with horribly unreliable decks.

Still going on, pops!

No, I said they were willing to guardedly accept offers of support from the USA before the war because they were scammed. We were talking about how this protester could do such a thing. Pay attention.

I have no idea what is going on on the ground in Iran right now, I can only imagine. Stop asking stupid questions accusingly.

This is a rare setup. Kind of vintage audio unicorn.

You still have a noticeable noise floor and medium limitations as equalizer, though (“warmer”).

99.999% of decks and surviving tapes do sound like dogshit.

I call this “road tinsel”, there used to be a lot of it strewn along highways.

How does a genocide save Iranians?

It doesn’t, don’t be obtuse by asking me that.

I replied to your question about why Iranians may have been duped into accepting help from an adversary. Pay attention.
