What looks easy peasy lemon squeezy but is actually difficult difficult lemon difficult?
  • Thanks! The only thing I do for them regularly in terms of grooming is to cut their nails. They get baths if they're dirty or smelly but they've never had a haircut. Short-haired breeds are awesome.

  • Yeah I'm with you there in most cases but I can't get videos to upload with anything. Five different devices, four different OSes, three different browsers, two different Lemmy instances, and even a VPN to bypass my own firewall and yet I still get nothing but JSON partridge in a fucking pear tree parsing errors when trying to post videos.

    Anyway, here are some pictures.

    Where do I find an older build of Office 2019?
  • Thanks, this looks like the answer. Any idea what the version string should be in the ODT config file for build 17328.20184? It looks like they want a major version number first, so Office 2016 was v16.0.xxxxx.xxxxxx. Is 2019 v17 or v19?

  • I need a specific build of Office 2019 to fix a conflict with another piece of software. That vendor is pointing the finger at Microsoft, and of course, MS is pointing the finger back at them. What I know for certain is that Version 2402 (Build 17328.20184) is the most recent working version. What I don't know is where to find that installer. I installed a much earlier build and tried to update it manually from the MS Update Catalog but the updates would not install, and that version has a completely different bug that makes it unable to print from Outlook.

  • Here's a thought. You fuckers have my goddamn Kroger Plus card number, my name, address, credit card information, and a record of every last grape I've ever purchased in one of your stores. How 'bout, after we show up for the second or third time, you assume we might no longer need to be told to uSe piN PAd tO coMPleTe trAnsActIon?!‽ aaaaAAAHHHHHHH

    Can't be too careful...
  • Just the stock Pixel 7 ROM, sadly. I'm testing Graphene on my Pixel 6 and probably installing it on the 7 soon. There's no actual privacy in this shitpost of a screenshot.

  • Almost an oxymoron at this point but it's free with a Pixel phone so I had to at least try it and see how bad it is. Privacy issues aside... it's down all the damn time.

  • A friend and former colleague in the IT industry recommended them to me so I gave some extra weight to his opinion. Then he lost like ten grand USD in Bitcoin because he left a (default) port forwarded to a VNC server in his house, open to the public and only protected by a known compromised password... and after that I stopped listening to anything he had to say about security.

  • I agree. PIA is the only one I actually paid for and the one I've used the least. They're only still on the list because I bought a 5 year block of time over 4 years ago when they had some big black Friday deal, so their app will soon be uninstalled. The rest are free or trials that I've been evaluating for performance. Thanks for the article, though.

    Debian VM boot performance on decade-old hardware
  • This one is on an NVMe RAID, so admittedly the storage is more recent, but there's no striping, just a mirror. It's software RAID in Windows Server which I can't recommend enough... against.

    The primary storage is 8x16TB WD Enterprise SAS drives which get about 2GB/s R/W in RAID 6, though this VM doesn't have access to them.

  • On a related note, does anyone know why I kept getting this error while trying to upload the video directly? I tried .mkv, .mp4, and .webm on three different instances and they all threw this after the file was uploaded:

    SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
