I use Cloudflare as my registrar and public DNS. And only for that. Sorry but they don’t get to peek at my network traffic.

Plot twist, your crazy bet goes viral (no pun intended) and the guy who dropped the test tube in Wuhan was late to work that day because he was watching a video about it. No pandemic occurs, Trump fades into obscurity, and a small company working on climate change solutions makes an incredible finding and fixes the planet because they didn’t have to go bankrupt during COVID.
Alec Baldwin still shoots someone.
Fill it with lorum ipsum just in case any of them are brave enough to take a peek inside.
Divorce her earlier and keep more of my equity in the house I bought before we were married.
On-premises. Please, for the love of god.
Well he had to get a foot in the door somehow.
If it’s not Boeing, I’m not going… to crash. Probably.
How many years did you prepare the image collection before asking this question, OP?
I work in IT, by the way. (Don’t use Arch though, Tumbleweed crew represent!)
So, what do you do when you need therapy?
They are making Cloud Microsoft sysadmins, as opposed to on-premises sysadmins. Which means the new crop of admins are just high tier application admins, and have no idea how to manage infrastructure, configure hardware, or actually troubleshoot problems with the application, since they don’t have access to it at that level. All of this makes businesses more and more reliant on the cloud, which is exactly what these providers want.
These companies are so short sighted. They are destroying the ability for the people who might push this software for use in a business environment to use it at home, test it out, learn it. This depletes the pool of experts and supporters that would expand their product’s use over time.
Microsoft and VMware are the worst offenders at the moment. I feel if you’re a competent on-premises Microsoft sysadmin you’ll have work for the rest of your life, because they aren’t MAKING on-premises Microsoft sysadmins anymore.

I dunno, I seem to have misplaced my Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Game Prices by Week. :D
Just pointing out that back in the day it was not unusual to have the most desirable games cost $70 for a while. It wasn’t special editions / GOTY stuff - those type of things didn’t even exist yet. So I’d imagine whoever is downvoting you is an old curmudgeon like me that lived through the Dawn of Video Games like I did, and remembers this as not being uncommon. Hell, even normal NES games were $50 or so. I remember paying that much for Final Fantasy when it came out. Once you add in inflation, that’s an expensive game!
But it was the standard for new ‘AAA’ games for the first couple months of release.
$70 cartridges have been around since the SNES days.
I always wondered what they use for ground when they are zapping people. Does it just go to the bed frame and out the ground wire the bed is plugged into?
Yep, this is the one I came to see was posted. I watched it only knowing “something really wrong” was around the core of the movie, but nothing more. When you learn what’s up… god damn. It’s not the goriest or scariest or anything like that, but it is the one that will just make you go “what in the actual fuck” more than any movie I’ve ever seen.
It’s bursty; I tend to do a lot of work on stuff when I do a hardware upgrade, but otherwise it’s set it and forget it for the most part. The only servers I pay any significant attention to in terms of frequent maintenance and security checks are the MTAs in the DMZ for my email. Nothing else is exposed to the internet for inbound traffic except a game server VM that’s segregated (credential-wise and network-wise) from everything else, so if it does get compromised it would be a very minimal danger to the rest of my network. Everything either has automated updates, or for servers I want more control over I manually update them when the mood strikes me or a big vulnerability that affects my software hits the news.
TL;DR If you averaged it over a year, I maybe spend 30-60 minutes a week on self hosting maintenance tasks for 4 physical servers and about 20 VM’s.
That’s exactly what I mean. The problem obviously won’t solve itself, enforcement will be required.
The problem is they don’t give a flying fuck what we think of them because they don’t have to and never will.
