Just found out that the world's busiest airport is now DFW.

Cant say I am not surprised, it is massive, so the volume they can handle....

O'hare was considered the busiest for a long time.

Yeah, Chicago fucked that up years ago when they gave away too many rights to United and American.

Thankfully, that contract is finally expiring and a proper modern terminal is going to be built.

Huntsman aren't really a problem, the biggest thing they do is frighten you, it's other mongrels that can make you pretty crook.

I used to be scared of snakes, not as much now after learning how they & why they react and how to treat snake bite. You don't want to get between a mother snake & it's babies either, they go mad at you.

Are Deers feral in the USA? They are down here, they're a real pest.

Most are. A few farms actually raise them around here, but 99% are feral.

Either kind is tasty, but I don't like processing them either. Tried it once, and no thanks.

Feral = wild but descended from domesticated. I don't think dear have ever been considered domesticated. Sure the odd farm or two, like anything, but not in general.

@black3dynamite Looking forward to it.

@Grey said in How do I remove all KMS info from domain:

Leave the KMS alone.

No, I want it off the network.

Customer used to have lots of MS Office and we setup KMS to handle keeping it all activated.

Now they are on O365. I want to get this stuff off the domain.

My google sucks this morning, as I can only find reliable results about removing individual keys or changing a end user system from KMS to MAK.

Your DHCP error is likely a typo someplace.

I'm not sure how much VyOS and EdgeOS have diverged, but here is my DHCP setup at home.

Except a LOT of stuff is still using H.264

Neat. 4k movies use a lot of storage and muscle so it'll be good to see this deployed/popular, if it is a good quality.

I would expect it is. People still complain that H.265 is somehow bad. When it is much more likely a bad source or a dumb ass encoder.

@AshKetchum said in Dish Network Alternative:

So our Dish network is down and not sure when it will go back. We are outside US, our TV system diagram is like this --- DISH > Encoder (HDMI to IP) > Enseo System/IP network > STB > TV. SInce our source channel Dish is down, can i use roku as source channel? is there a roku channel that continuously going to play movies?

Let me make sure I understand the flow here...

Because you have DISH, that means you are paying a subscription fee. Well someone is. Whoever in the US has the DISH setup on their property.

You are then converting DISH to IP by taking the HDMI output from the DISH set top box?

Then you are puling that data down from wherever you are not in the US to another set top box?

That you then watch with your TV?

That sounds overly complicated, but sure, you can use anything you want as the source, as long as it outputs HDMI to connect to your encoder.

But if you go ROKU, why not just have it locally?
