64GB is standard? Nintendo is really nowhere near making a console like PlayStation or Sony, huh. Mental of them think they have any power to set the prices. Very few people are going to get their console outside of a sale. As for games, I hope they get pirated

I love the doge having the same expression when he’s being fired

Mine is EE. Very little system settings are available, I can’t modify any technical limits. I fixed mine though, it was just overheating in its case -_-

I’ve arranged a replacement. In the meantime I’ve fixed its overheating…

I did, but completely forgot! I haven’t used a local library in years >.<

This. I don’t do much but I have spent $1,200 on HDDs alone. Then there’s the true saviors of the internet with hundreds of TB, even PB of backed up, virus-free content

Good thing your government isn’t the world police - we have multinational organisations that handle that

Unfortunately, according to the standardised definition of ‘inclusive’, they were out of order in policing the community in a way that did not align with the community rules. The post alone was directed at women, but the community is not.

I knew the Israeli-Palestine conflict would cone up eventually. I’m with him for most things up until that point. He called the attack on October 7th a “genocide”. Genocide is attempted eradication of a demographic of humanity deemed lesser by the attackers. The IDF is committing genocide against Palestine, not the other way around…

On a side note, is there any truth in his claims about increasing antisemitic attacks on Jewish residents of, I’m guessing, the US? I know the acting President threw a sieg heil but if the US is really starting to go that way, that’s very worrying. Last time Jews were persecuted, between 11 and 29 million non-‘cishet white christian males’ were murdered alongside them.

Thank you so much! Turns out my router is buggy and yes, I realized the hits were just peers. I’m a stoopid

Bingo - I haven’t been in this exact situation before so I had no idea. Clicking the link opens the app flawlessly, I should make more of an effort to check links in a browser

I also appreciate that Notepad notes now don’t need to be manually saved to a file. They’re probably in temp storage somewhere, but the point is you can just write and close.

I’ve recently discovered a very useful app on f-droid called YTDLnis, that uses yt-dlp. Most of the typical scripting and config is hidden and the frontend just involves a URL to video/s, and pre-download preview.

Is that what they taught in your school? In mine they just taught mostly useless subjects. Schools now teach critical thinking I believe, which to me is insane, as I used to think everyone had the innate ability to make decisions for themselves.

Or a goddamn mech suit from Fallout

That’s pretty much what I just recommended aha, 12th gen or higher, or a GPU. Doesn’t have to be a large one either - my GTX 970 could handle Emby transcoding as well as blaze through speech recognition for a local voice assistant

IIRC the free version of Emby doesn’t throttle in any way, you can still have up to 10 concurrent active devices and the only thing you miss out on really is OpenSubtitles. But I’ve recently upped my game with Sonarr and it’s a dream. One day I’ll put my movies into Radarr.

You need any kind of mobo/CPU combo, I’ve heard 12th Gen Intel onwards are as capable of transcoding on the fly as an older GPU so you wouldn’t need both, but if you go older I recommend a GPU as well, just because it gives more flexibility with being able to use hardcoded subtitles without locking up the CPU, and streaming a lower bitrate version of the video if your internet is shit, instead of - again - locking up

For easy certificate management I use NginX Proxy Manager, for media I use Emby and for a domain I use Cloudflare but you can absolutely serve your server with DuckDNS or another DDNS service for free.

I paid about £200 to build my server, with a £30 CPU (Intel i6 3100), free motherboard, £50 PSU and £110 SFF case (rough costs), and holy fuck it’s so much cheaper than any subscription. Electricity is about £3-£5 a year and other costs are optional. I also sourced a GTX 970 for £90 that was more than up to the task of transcoding, but again, if you get a 12th gen you won’t need it.

I just remembered the HDD I started with was a spare (10TB Seagate Barracuda Pro, but I shucked (like shucking for pearls) an external HDD to get it, as I heard that you can get lucky and get a good drive for cheaper than it would cost to buy it. Said eHDD was about £250.

I found one called conduwuit and immediately used that to setup lol

Yeah, that’s my biggest concern as well. For example LetsPlay. They had a controversy in which one primary Minecraft player was fired and removed from the group, and I think a couple of their videos were scrubbed, even though the vast majority of content in the video was good entertainment.

There are also copyright and DMCA claims ruining any YouTuber’s video, entertainment value and monetisation, including Google bending the knee to corporations that don’t actually have the right to claim any content… There are a lot of reasons for wanting to archive the internet, mostly state/corporate overreach
