They were hit by a lawsuit for the music too.

It’s possible to host your own Arma server that can handle 100 players. Ironically Arma has a Battle Royale mode. It’s not rocket science.

There’s been lots of great movies lately, they’ve just drowned in the massive marketing budgets of copy pasta bullshit sequels.

What I do instead is mostly rely on specific directors that I know produce high quality content like Guy Ritchie, Wes Anderson, and Christopher Nolan (especially work done together with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, but IIRC Jonathan mostly focused on series like Westworld and Fallout after Interstellar).

Another thing to look for is A24 movies. They’re quite unique and usually pushes the limits with story telling. Their older stuff, while great, might though not be everyone’s cup of tea but it seems like they’re trying to mellow it a bit out lately to cater to a larger audience.

I bought a pledge early on. Sold it a few years later for double the price. Great investment!

Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:

• Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
• Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
• EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
• Their UI is just plain bad.

But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

What if it’s an unsigned boolean?

Yes, except of course The Scene. IIRC only two of the mentioned trackers still exist today.

I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

I can definitely recommend that setup.

I opened Lemmy on a packed bus this morning and got the full blast…

Self hosted doesn’t necessarily mean hosted at home. Some of my stuff is for example hosted in a French datacenter for redundancy. At one point it was my only server space since hosting at home wasn’t feasible at that time.

It’s not space that’s hard. It’s the stuff you encounter when you run out of space that’s hard.

I’d be okay with that, honestly

Well, good news then! If you wait a few billion years the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy.

I can’t possibly think of any way that could backfire.

That is some unexpectedly good news. I’m looking forward to see the results of an EU based search index.
