This is the first time I’m hearing about tildeverse and it seems cool as hell. Going to sign up.

It’s really neat! Fairly active and cool CLI things to do on it. I also have an account on cosmic.voyage but haven’t had time to really write more, unfortunately :/

Also it would be a shame if those emails ended up on some left wing mailing lists. :shrug:

They used one of those auto-generating anonymous emails (eg guerilla mail) so pointless if my fingers somehow copied their email… damn shame

I’ve just gotten a lot pickier as I’ve gotten older. It doesn’t help that I haven’t had a ton of time in recent years to really play much, but I’ve noticed most games don’t really have anything interesting like they used to.

I blame capitalism. It seems video games are following Hollywood’s plan on rehashing things, uninspired sequels, and just trying to make the most profit at the expense of quality.

It would probably work, but the accounts we shared before were Hulu and Disney+, none of which were “my” original accounts. So having to go through the hassle of showing family members VPNs and setting them up wouldn’t be worth it compared to just pirating.

The biggest loss to cutting streaming services is mostly discovery of finding some random show/film to watch. If you’re going to torrent something, you have to know what you want first. It doesn’t bother me much, but it’s kind of a bummer when you want to just put something on.

I recently upgraded my home “streaming” setup from an aging RPi3 connected running OSMC off of an NFS share drive from my local server to running Jellyfin directly from the server and connecting to it via the Jellyfin app on my Roku stick

With the crackdown on password sharing, the family accounts are dwindling so the pirating has increased again. Keeping Netflix for now and Shudder as I’m a horror fan, but otherwise everything else is 🏴‍☠️

Apple.

I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn’t Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.

At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn’t make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn’t be happier.

I’d recommend conduit if you’re self-hosting, especially on limited resources. Very easy to set-up and fast, and although not on feature-parity with Synapse, it does now have Spaces and threading support which is huge

Rio’s been hitting some astronomical temps so it makes sense, but it would definitely suck if this was your show. It’s only postponed until Monday at least and despite the last-minute delay, better to be safe than risk more injury or even death :/

It’s an incoherent mess, I was just compelled to share my misfortune with lemmygrad when I found it (sorry lol). And I briefly thought of refuting all the shit he spewed, but honestly my time is better spent doing anything else!
