This is really what came into your mind after reading about this terrorist act?

I’m sure that the Trump administration won’t report correct inflation data, but that will be a wild ride for Americans

email is a standard protocol. You can run your own server using FOSS software in 5 minutes if you start now. One of the biggest problems is that you will have a hard time “federating” to gmail and others due to the spam problematic, but that is something that we will see with Lemmy, too. Currently I can spin up my own server and start pushing shit to lemmy.world and other bigger instances, but I feel that this will change with the coming spam waves

Yeah, those old forum threads really were great. Many forums had threads that were discussing topics for years, all in one place. There were people posting how they were building something and they would just reply to their thread with an update. It’s a great way to collect information and better than we are doing it here

Ok, that is a totally different use case than mine. I’m one of those guys browsing a selfhosting community on the fediverse and I only want to stream my own stuff to my mobile and provide my wife with audiobooks. If you’re providing a bigger group of people with streaming services, who are not tech savvy, another software might be the better solution. But that doesn’t mean that Jellyfin is bad - it’s just another use case with different requirements

But let’s be honest - it really is not complicated. That was a one minute configuration in my router.

I just setup jellyfin and it totally is the same. Install. Point it to a media folder. Setup port forwarding.

And those lifetime subscriptions are also a trap. They know that you have the money and are willing to pay and that you’re using their service. Do you really think that some business suit will be satisfied by your onetime payment back in 2022?

Just FYI: Data is from May till June 2023. Musk took over Twitter end of Oct. / Nov 2022. A lot of stuff has happened since then, so that study can’t tell you much about the current X

Many models on Thingiverse and Printables are released under a CC-licence, so it would be possible to use that as a basis for an independent model database or some kind of decentralized fediverse STL databank, however that would work

The SteamDeck is actually a good writerdeck. Get an external keyboard, some kind of stand and you have a highly portable typing machine

For everybody, who hasn’t that much of paperwork: I’m kind of doing the same, but without barcode stickers. Just scan the document into paperless and then stick it in a box or a folder. If you need the physical document sometimes in the future (which you won’t), paperless of course has the date of the scan / date of the document available. It then it quite easy to take your chronolocical sorted documents and find the one that came in on 2023-04-14

Just to give you some background information:

In comparison, Japanese sales figures for the original Door to Phantomile on the PS1 sold 51,441 units in its first week and went on to sell 159,284 units. The original JP release of Lunatea’s Veil on the PS2 sold 45,639 units in its first week and 133,401 units in nine months.

This one is giving you 25851 sales in north america:

So there were never that much copies out there and there can’t be that many copys left. The game was released 27 years ago - discs were thrown out, were destroyed, became scratched and unreadable, house fires, floods etc. happened, but even if every copy was still in existence: You would still only need 25852 people who are trying to collect all north american PSX releases to create a scarity.

Just be patient. Those new GPUs are so new, expensive and rare that no game has them as target hardware. Stay on your current setup and wait until games are catching up and prices go down.

I’m kind of disappointed that this one is free and doesn’t have a subscription model

Exactly this - Join-Lemmy.org has some (minor) UI and text issues. I’m also not quite happy about the sorting of the instances and the selection there. If f.e. you chose “General -> English” during onboarding, you get this screen here:

Hexbear? Some random 11 user instance from finland? Lemmy.world nowhere to be seen? They are randomizing the instances, which kind of makes sense to prevent the bigger ones from growing even more, but which might confuse new users.

But those are minor UI quirks that can be solved. All those reddit couch warriors that claim that everything should be completely redone exactly how they want it to be are insane. Normal users are able to understand the concept of instances.

Oh :( Do you have some more information about that? Which directions are being debated?

I’m really happy that the community stepped up and continued his great work.

Let me guess: Valve was not getting their cut from the ad money?

You might want to take a look at https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/ . That’s exactly what you want, but without Docker. It uses Proxmox / LXC / VMs and is really, really awesome for selfhosting.
