Not really helping you here. But when I started using Google Photos, I still manually downloaded files from my phone to local storage. I did this mainly to ensure I have the original copies of my photos and not some compressed image. Turns out that was a wise move as exporting photos from Google is a pretty damned awful experience.

There’s a comment above saying they have one and they can’t get them to connect to a PC

That’s the annoying thing here. Everyone, particularly Lemmy where everyone runs Linux and FOSS, thinks this is a Microsoft/Windows issue. It’s not, it’s a Crowdstrike issue.

Because all software runs from Linux right…

I guess it depends on numbers too. We had 200 to work on. If you’re talking hundreds more than looking at automation would be a better solution. In our scenario it was just easier to throw engineers at it. I honestly thought at first this was my weekend gone but we got through them easily in the end.

Ha! Yes. Same issue. Clicking Reset in vSphere and then quickly switching tabs to hold down F8 has been a ball ache to say the least!

Sadly not. Windows doesn’t boot. You can boot it into safe mode with networking, at which point maybe with anaible we could login to delete the file but since it’s still manual work to get windows into safe mode there’s not much point

I’ve just spent the past 6 hours booting into safe mode and deleting crowd strike files on servers.

I’ve configured my kids devices to use NextDNS, that way they are getting filtering no matter what network they use.

AdGuard does what I need internally, it’s just external is the issue. VPN’s are not a solution, my kids are old enough to know they can just disable it to work around it. They don’t know about the Private DNS option that I have configured on their devices… Yet

Jellyfin Plex (I wanted to get rid of it but I found my son’s TV has no Jellyfin client available so I have to keep Plex up for him) Nginx Caddy Ddclient to Cloudflare for my home dynamic IP Syncthing (such an underrated app) Wireguard HomeAssistant Some other stuff that isn’t all that interesting

This is what I do. Registered with Porkbun but have two domains pointing to Cloudflare NS’s for DNS. I then have a container locally that looks for IP changes on my home connection and if detected updates DNS to the new IP.

I’m not American

Just checked mine and it’s all disabled

Never buy a Pixel at full price. They drop or go on offer after a few months. At least from what I have seen in the UK. Carriers often do good deals too. It may take a few months but buying on or near to release you’ll pay a premium.

PipePipe works with V3.5.0

No it’s not. I only found it when I opened PipePipe and it popped up there’s a new update. Installed it outside of fdroid

PipePipe works for me now with 3.5.0.

I normally get a Pixel on contract or I’ll buy it outright if it’s on offer. The Pixel does tend to go on offer way more than an iPhone.

I use defaults but also check the two cookie filter lists.
