Couldn’t agree more. I put a 128GB card into my action camera last night, then remembered that my first computer had a 170MB hard drive. That’s close to a thousand times more storage, and according to t’internet, it’s physically more than two thousand times smaller :o

If it makes you feel any better, I did something just as infuriating a few years ago.

I had set up my home media server, and had finally moved it to my garage with just a power cable and ethernet cable plugged in. Everything was working perfectly, but I needed to check something with the network settings. Being quite new to Linux, I used a remote desktop tool to log in and do everything through a gui.

I accidentally clicked the wrong item in the menu and disconnected the network. I only had a spare ps/2 keyboard and mouse, and as the server was an old computer, it would crash if I plugged a ps/2 device in while it was running*.

The remote desktop stayed open but frozen, mocking me for my obvious mistake and lack of planning, with the remote mouse icon stuck in place on the disconnect menu.

*I can’t remember if that was a ps/2 thing, or something specific to my server, but I didn’t want to risk it

It’s one of those things that you hide away for most of the year, but every now and then, when your partner’s forgotten about it, you move it to the bathroom in the middle of the night 😁

That’s good to know, thanks :)

I’ve got a few services running on my aging media server, so I want to start doing it properly, and getting a proper home sever going. I’ve used ssh for some of the basics in the past, but I need to start using that more too :)

This has just let me recover a podcast where the feed from the site I was using stopped working, thank you :D

Briar is the one that was mentioned a lot when the protests were happening in Hong Kong, if that helps 👍

I might be wrong, but I remember reading that they removed the objectionable content after the fuss that was kicked up.
