@jimsgarage_ @NetworkChuck @davidnburgess @TechnoTimLive I know there are desktop options for most of this, but I wanted to spend more time fully in the terminal, so I used Claude to make these: https://t.co/wCy7hTIOCL & https://t.co/e16oE7aznX

Let me know what you think

@TechnoTimLive You can get a LGA 1700 its motherboard with 3 nvme (all full x4 lanes), 8 sata, pcie x16 slot, and 2.5gbe - with out multiplexing. That paired with a 35w TDP i5-13500t - that’s a powerhouse home server.

@jimsgarage_ @TechnoTimLive @davidnburgess Would any of you fine fellas be interested in a video on DietPi?It has been my go to VM and bare metal OS for a few years. Even on x86. Simplifies and even automates a lot of homelab tasks and projects. https://t.co/wDKAjDawaz

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@ChristianLempa @jimsgarage_ @TechnoTimLive @davidnburgess Thanks guys! Not my project, but came across it when looking for a solution for getting uptime kuma setup after migrating my homelab to docker swarm.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@jimsgarage_ @TechnoTimLive @davidnburgess @ChristianLempa Any interest in making a video on AutoKuma? Supposed to automate creating monitors for docker containers based on container labels. It even mentions enabling the use of existing traefik labels. https://t.co/XsDv03dwM1

If you are accused of being a white supremacist and are openly supported by white supremacists, but yet refuse to publicly denounce those groups - at minimum the complacency makes you complicit.

So let’s hear it. Denounce them all for everyone to hear.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

If @elonmusk wants to prove once and for all that this was not a nazi salute, he needs to publicly and verbally denounce every single white supremacist group that has come out to praise the hand gesture.

@MSFT365Status Of course, you all are in the unlucky 2%! You wouldn't be here if you weren't. The purpose of this account naturally creates an environmental bias that makes the problem seem like its effecting a higher percentage than it actually is.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@Opigno Are you still releasing updates? The last one I see on your website is 3.1.0 from over a year ago. Do you have an upcoming release schedule?

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

Every time I call I get the same - there is nothing wrong on our end, so it must be your phone - reply. I’ve been asked 3 different times to reset my network settings. I’m not going to keep doing that and expect it to work. Just trust me - you have a tower issue. Fix it.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

I have been on @Mintmobile for over 2 years and have loved every minute of it - until today. I’m trying to let them know there is a tower issue in my area because my home - which usually has full service - has none. My wife and I both are having the same issues.

@TeamYouTube I need some personal help recovering lost content and channel. Is there anyone I can talk to?

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@facebook hey! I reported an obviously fake account that is using stolen pictures from someone else, but using a different name. They are trying to scam people through bogus sales. Your support replied that this doesn’t violate Community standards. What gives?

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@_nomadic_soul The amount of men here who seem to think that Patriarchy is synonymous with masculinity is astounding. Might be a a good benchmark for determining if a man’s masculinity might be a little too fragile.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube @youtube I’ll be honest. It’s also pretty crappy that the only way I can get official help from YouTube, because I’m a non monetized account, is to freaking tweet someone who just responds with boiler plate messages.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@YouTube @YouTubeCreators Hi! My company switched from Google workspace to O365. I had a branded account channel associated with my work email. My YouTube account is now gone. How can I get it back?

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube it’s best you read what I’ve told you. Those resources don’t work in this particular situation. I’ve tried them, but our administrators can’t do anything because we are no longer on Google.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube Am I out of luck? It’s been 7 days. The channel is still gone.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube I already contacted my administrator. They said they couldn’t do anything. I was waiting for 7 days to pass. However, the channel is now gone at day 5. Are you saying I’m out of luck?

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube @Google @YouTube @TeamYouTube I also turned my channel into a branded account and added my personal email as an owner, but I couldn’t make it primary owner until it was on there for 7 days. Today is day 5.

[Dave Westra @dcwestra]

@TeamYouTube @TeamYouTube I have already contacted our IT department and they have told me they no longer have access to Google Workspace to reactivate my account. I have re registered my work email with @Google and @YouTube but the channel did not return!
