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.

I want this. Gimme.
On-premises. Please, for the love of god.
This guy puts tech journalists to shame.
So many Microsoft bootlickers in this thread.
Sure there are plenty of good FPS games all the time. Me and my friends are in our early to late 40’s so it’s hard for us to get anything together for long periods of time since we all have Real Life™ going on. But every once in a while a game just hits, and DMZ had everyone in my clan hyped and we all played together regularly for a few months. It was truly awesome and just like the old days when we played Quake and Tribes together.
Then they started spitting out p2w shit and it just sucked the wind out of everyone’s sails.
Slimy things like introducing p2w skins in DMZ, ending the best fps run I’ve had with friends in years?
Fuckers.
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.
*edited my last sentence for clarity
They sell your data.
Have you ever used iTunes? Apples music UI has always been dogshit. I find using any of their music stuff to be a chore. If Google wasn’t so evil I’d drop iOS in a heartbeat.
I’ve been rear ended twice while sitting at a red light and yielding at a yield sign, so I guess as close as possible?
If you cared about privacy you wouldn’t be using any Google products.
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.
Yes. What’s wrong with the edited flag?
I didn’t even know that was a thing!
I just got a G9 last week so I feel some of your pain. It was frustrating to set up but I kept mine dumb, no network, and it’s been working just fine (no ‘smart device’ annnoyances) after the initial setup. And some of my pain had to do with other new PC hardware I was fighting with. I was definitely thinking about returning it after the initial headaches. After a few days of using it I’m in love though. It’s just GORGEOUS.
Samsung does suck but I couldn’t pass up getting a 5120x1440 oled panel for 1100 bucks. Works great with my old HDMI switch and game consoles too!
OPNsense all the way. I run it in a VM. I ran PFsense for years then finally went through the pain of migrating. It was worth it for the UI improvements alone. PFsense also corrupted itself twice in about 4-5 years of running it, requiring restores from VM snapshots. OPNsense has been rock solid but it’s only been 2 years since I migrated.
I have used openwrt but only for a WiFi AP, not as a real router. I’ve since moved to a Unifi AP which works fine, but I won’t buy their stuff again for other reasons.
I ran it on Hyper-V for many years. Still running OPNsense that way. It manages 4 VLANS, RDNSBL, a metric ass ton of firewall rules, and several VPN clients and gateways, with just 2GB of ram and 4 virtual procs. It works and doesn’t even breathe hard.
Well they lost me with their ridiculous price hike for PSN. I won’t be buying any more multiplayer games for my PS5.
