My kid is my life  Sa mga: - meetings na hindi ko napuntahan - gmm/s na hindi ko napuntahan - gatherings na hindi ko napuntahan - mga inductions na hindi ko napuntahan - mga happenings na hindi ko napuntahan - mga certifications na wala ako - promotion/s na hindi ko nakukuha - magandang trabaho na kumikita ng malaki na hindi ko makuha kuha - mga events na wala ako Sa yugtong ito ng buhay ko tanging "PAG-IBIG" na lang ang kaya kong ibigay sa yo at sa inyo tanging hiling ko lang huwag mo akong tularan hindi ako kasing talino at tanyag ng iyong mga lolo, lola, tito, tita  BUHAY ko lang ang kaya kong ialay para sayo at sa  inyo I cannot teach you how to soar like an eagle, fight like a knight or be fast like a yellow tiger or a fighter or a tamarraw simply because I dont know those things  sorry na agad anak  But I can only guide you how to observe like a red lion and a definitely a grey wolve

Media Server vs File Server in a nutshell

Media Server vs File Server in a nutshell A media server is like your personal Netflix. It doesn’t just store your movies, shows, or music – it also organises them, adds cool stuff like posters and descriptions, and remembers where you stopped watching. It can even adjust the files so they play perfectly on any device you’re using. Examples? Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby. A file server , on the other hand, is like a shared storage box. It just holds your files and lets you access them from your devices. You can still watch your movies or listen to music from it, but there’s no fancy organisation, no movie posters, no “resume playback,” and it won’t fix any file that doesn’t work on your device. So, think of it this way: Media server = organised, smart, user-friendly. File Server = simple, no-frills file storage.
