Just use DNS.

Server 2022 > Windows 11 for desktop OS. No bloatware, less garbage, almost identical driver and application support.

[hasperdi → EAtmULFO]

Why Windows Server 2022, not 2025? Can't the latter be used as desktop OS?

[andix → EAtmULFO]

An expensive solution.

[Retr0id → andix]

Well, only if you pay for it

[layer8 → EAtmULFO]

It EOLs in October this year, however.

[jasomill → layer8]

Server 2025, then?

Though admittedly $1,176/16 cores is a bit steep for a desktop OS, and don't forget the CALs if you plan to use file sharing or Remote Desktop (or third party alternatives like Steam Remote Play).

Security updates through 2031. I'd rather not worry about added "features" introducing yet more bugs.

Only with Extended Support, which you get for free.

[EAtmULFO]

This is what happens when people don't put in the effort and time necessary to actually learn a craft. Result: Overconfidence and potentially very damaging outcomes.

You're absolutely right.

The cat and mouse game continues... For every, "unbreakable" claim, there's someone capable and determined enough to prove that claim wrong.

[RGamma → EAtmULFO]

Game streaming unbreakably eliminates an entire class of cheats. But I hope it doesn't become too popular.

[FMecha → RGamma]

Aren't people not too receptive to game streaming to begin with due to input latency?

[RGamma → FMecha]

Yeah, that said the problem has become much better than during OnLive's time. Given a decent connection it's pretty playable.

Kinda worried that widespread game streaming will eventually lead to games not being released at all anymore...

[out-of-ideas → EAtmULFO]

this is true, however it all boils down to having a few years with an advantage before its broken, and then the cycle continues. vs if it were non-existant (or broken immediatly) there would be a huge influx of uncaught mice

i do miss dedicated game servers and just restricting connections based on latency; rarely having to resitrct based on datacenters vs residential

On: Ask HN: Anybody have trouble with Cloudflare R2?

[EAtmULFO]

I can confirm the support experience, although we're not currently using R2. We are an Enterprise customer and have been trying since May 8th to get a downed Worker fixed (ticket filed as, "urgent"). Still no progress/response from level 2 support.

[elithrar → EAtmULFO]

Can you share the ticket ID here and/or email me the details? silverlock@cloudflare

[EAtmULFO → elithrar]

Thank you so much for reaching out. I've emailed you the case info.

[localfirst → EAtmULFO]

this is simply unacceptable
