I enjoyed the shout out for EFnet.


Calling in from the 20s crowd. It's been years since anyone I know cared about snap. If it's not on Instagram, it didn't happen.


And I don't think the 40+ crowd is using it either. So it means either teens are using, or snapchat is on borrowed time.


Hasn't the userbase of snap always been teenagers sharing naked pictures with each other?


That was literally maybe for the first year or two. Since 2013 or so that's definitely NOT been the case.


Cygwin just feels "heavy" when all I want is rsync. Without any package management (that I'm aware of) I can't just install rsync and whatever other dependencies it has, I have to put hunderds? more binaries on my system.


There is also a linux subsystem for windows 10 which I have never used. Perhaps someone can say if that has rsync.

[ edit ] if that and cygwin are too heavy, you could request the samba team create a posix windows build of rsync. They had one long ago, but stopped supporting it. That would be a single binary. I suspect they will push back.


This is even heavier. It's a full blown Ubuntu install.


After a bit of Googling, it looks a company has complied and packged rsync for Windows at a cost of $19 per license @ https://www.itefix.net/cwrsync

I found a Github repo with an older (2017) version of cwRsync that may be from before it went behind a paywall @ https://github.com/billyc/cwrsync-installer


It does.


Check out MobaXterm. It's free as in beer, and seems to wrap up cygwin and x in one console. It's my go to putty replacement.

You can run a local console and rsync directly from your window drives (/drives)


"alive and well" might be a stretch. I don't know a soul who plugs their devices into their computers. Using VLC to watch media is also a blast from the past. Grandpa, is that you?


I've found VLC to be the only app that can play H.264 .mkv files without stuttering on my poor first-gen iPad Mini :)


It looks like $300 is enough to buy the IMEI data.

This might be a silly question but I've honestly tried to Google it without any success. Is there an easy way to put something like this behind a web based "portal". Like, I'd love to have an external facing login site that would allow me to access internal resources like this. I currently use OpenVPN but it'd be neat if this could be done via a web based portal without the need for a heavy VPN solution. Anyone have any suggestions?


I think you're asking how to make the public URL shares accessible only with a password, in which case could just use basic password auth on your web server. Something like https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-... for Linux or https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.we... for Windows.


Hello, I appreciate the reply but I was looking to replace my OpenVPN solution which allows me to visit websites that aren't publicly accessible. Going the htpass route would require opening up each individual service to the Internet and then mapping the internal ports to a unique external port (as they all listen on port 80)


Something like Cloudflare Access[1] maybe? Their basic plan is free for up to 5 seats/login accounts.

Oh this is great. Thank you!


..and then be forced add the new card to every service you have set to auto-pay like Amazon, Steam, Audible, Verizon, etc.


One solution is to have one card for autopay services and one for restaurants.


Another solution is for the merchant to bring the card reader to you.

Or you can use outline: https://outline.com/6LD6KV


my adblocker seems to block that script, I had no issues visiting the site while having adblock enabled.

No problem with javascript disabled.


Paste the url into outline.com. Works like a charm.


Works fine with Ghostery.


Turn off styling and you can see the text.


This seems like a really complex way to solve a simple problem. Have an intern spend a day creating Visio diagrams of each room capturing model numbers. Trying to do this from a network perspective just seems like an easy way to miss half the systems or whatever percentage isn't powered on or connected.
