Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once?

Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features. It’s not hyperbole to say that the startup repair, and the troubleshooters in settings, have never fixed an issue I’ve encountered with Windows. Not even once. Is this typical?...

tofubl,

Just been through the fire of having to clone my system to a new SSD and no, startup repair did nothing for me.

tofubl,

Woah, are you okay?

tofubl,

I’m sorry to hear it, and I hope you are being kind to yourself.

FOSS alternative to... Sending Spotify links?

This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify anymore so I don’t like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I’m trying to degoogle so I...

tofubl,

tofubl,

That’s a question ChatGPT would excel at… It sounds like it might be a big task for your shoes, but here goes (100% organic reply, mind you):

  • get a Raspberry Pi, install your web app, make sure you can reach it on the LAN
  • forward the port your web-app is running on to the Raspberry Pi: app is now reachable under IP:port from the internet)
  • set up a domain with a provider that supports dyndns, set up a job on the Pi to regularly check in with the dyndns provider and tell it your current WAN IP: app is reachable on your own domain; success

This is leaving out any security measures and you will want to take care of those before opening your home LAN to the world! Have fun learning!

tofubl,

Does anybody have pointers how to compile it? The readme is a little lacking…

tofubl,

I’d like to know, too. I just played a bit of the reverse-engineered demo again (never had the full version as a kid, either) and it’s still a fun game.
