    Get yourself a partner(s) who know a thing or two about tech and can at least perform basic troubleshooting and report to you.

    Huge, thick cock but tiny brain and reeeeeeeeee? Pass. Small cock but can tell me when my homelab goes down, what services are actually affected, and suggest a solution that is plausible and is for up-to-date versions of X? Call in pizza and ice cream and clear your schedule, it’s sexy time. And they knew a temporary solution for the outage so they aren’t impacted while I was busy/away? Marry me.

    There’s a lot of other factors but that defo plays a factor. Learn tech, get blowjobs. It’s that simple.

      I fucking wish! Despite my profession and hobbies all being very technical I have never had a partner that knew anything beyond turning it off and on again 😭. I’d be eating them out like a bulldog with a jar of mayonnaise every night if they did! Though I guess I would do that if they didn’t too…🤔

      I may need to rethink my approach…

      I can’t even do that for my own homelab. If restarting everything in order from most to least likely culprit doesn’t make it work again I’m usually fucked and looking forward to a couple hours of work.

      Example: My “Smart” TV must have something like this in its code:

      void main() {
          if(hasLocalIP && !hasInternetAccess) {
              randomlyQuitJellyfinEvery20MinutesOrSo = true;
          }
          startTV();
      }
      

      This took 2 weeks of restarting, app reinstalling, factory resetting, OS updating, OS downgrading, OS updating but different method, etc. to figure out. I’m literally just unplugging its ethernet port before starting now, it’s that simple. I’ve never allowed it to connect to the internet though - no ad revenue for you, Google!

      Dang, I went small cock and reeeee. :)

      But seriously, my partner is pretty nerdy, and while they don’t know exactly how everything is set up, they’re reasonably good at troubleshooting. I have a VPN set up, so if everything gets borked, I can probably fix it on my lunch break or something (or they can just turn it off and on again).
