i feel guilty as gently caress for the whole situation so I am want to do everything I can to be friendly and nice to a person who had given the last ten years of her life to me, and banked her life on me being there

im not really the "gently caress you got mine" type

It's not about fygm it's about being reasonable in where you draw the line after you've separated with a person. Sharing your :filez: is not a reasonable thing divorcees do.

I'm guessing less than 1 mbit upload? You'd want to stay away from smb for sure due to latency and throughput but either its going to look like poo poo with plex transcoding or its going to take forever to download over ftp with some crap tier ux.

both sound more malicious than expected which seems more appropriate for a separation process

making someone use open source software to acquire large files slowly is a death by a thousand cuts process in the best of times

in a more serious response: if they have ios devices, you could use something like air video to transcode and also download various quality versions, though the clients are only ios and apple tv. its a few bucks but pretty painless and the servers can run on macos and windows and multiple machines so you can customize sources and tweak settings

I broke X11. booting my system to single user mode resets it to runlevel 3 in a script somewhere. I can mount my disk booting from a CD and edit scripts and junk.

help how do I stop it from doing that. I am running Solaris 9

ok so there are two things to consider:

1. what did you do before X11 blew up?

2. can you run Xsun manually and have a reasonable outcome? (i.e. get a blank X11 display with a mouse cursor)

coz macos is poo poo

I found it with my mbp too

like if yuo reset the mac it would work.. but then after going to sleep it would just simply refuse to access the shared folder. I looked into it and the end result was just "guess it doesnt just work"

i suspect the end result would be the same as plex. ive used the original airvideo and it was very good

it's not a question of friendship, it's a question of boundaries. i am not unpaid tech support for my friends. nor do i try to set up VPNs to improve their tv consumption scenario

even if you are successful at building a new kind of relationship with your ex-wife in the future, that needs to be a new relationship with its own boundaries

separation means separation, not just paying two electric bills

i mean maybe it's because they don't ask very often but if one of my friends gave me a jingle and said "hey my computer's all fucky can you help me figure it out" i'd be happy to help


but then one time one of my friends had his ~gaming laptop~ die on him and i loaned him my media PC for a few weeks so he could play WOW while he waited for a warranty replacement

probably

i mean, we built a life together, and largely on the presumption the other one was there. so anything tech related was my thing. so not only am i pulling half the income out of the household, i am also pulling all these skills and talents

so it just doesnt take much effort for me to help on that front

I guess I get what bsd is saying about new boundaries.. idk. i know i wouldnt be happy for example for it to be written into a divorce settlment that i was the tech support but while we are amicble i am more than happy to save her money because shes a good person and anything she doesnt spend on something like tech poo poo that I could far cheaper, is money shell spend on bettering the family (coz she is an amazing mother who always prioritises the kids and makes most of her (finiancial) decisiong to suit them).. and well, if ya wanna think about it that way, its an investment in my families future

this is a legal and mental distinction, not an emotional one

you're divorced. sorry that it happened this way. lots of possible reasons, including "got married too young" and "was incomprehensibly naive about romantic relationships" and also "took no one's cautionary advice, ever" but you should probably start fresh from this position instead of hanging onto the threads you have left.
