Absolutely, if you care about historical works you should make sure that you have a copy that you control.
A large portion of the things on my jellyfin are like that, because once they take away media ownership, and they can change or take away your stories at any time.
It’s actually pretty decent as a generic 90s square RPG, but fails miserably as a sequel or even as an addition to the Chrono trigger universe to the point that I’m pretty sure most people just pretend there was never another entry in the Chrono series.
One thing is that education isn’t the same globally. You should probably have an other option to account for that.
Then you say “this argument doesn’t exist.”
And it replies “you’re right! That argument has never been a part of package x. I’ve updated the argument to fix it:” and then gives you the exact same bleedin command…
It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.
Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you’re working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it’s awfully nice to have it.
Anyone who owned doom 1 and doom 2 got a new item in their steam or gog library with damn near everything included including stuff like sigil and a new episode they just made.
There’s a new doom 2 RTX mod that clips into that version and it combines ray tracing with voxel art to give the most impressive raycast doom 2 I’ve imagined so far. Well worth a look especially since it’s free for a lot of gamers.
I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn’t bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.
Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn’t the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you’re straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that’s the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.
Always seems self-evident that equipment you don’t own and control isn’t going to work on your behalf.
When I’m using linux, I do something similar, I just sync’d my home folder as my nextcloud directory and that similarly made all my files available.
The way I’ve got it set up is I have a Nextcloud\Desktop, Nextcloud\Downloads, Nextcloud\Documents, Nextcloud\Pictures, and Nextcloud\Videos folder, and on each machine I use I point each of those points in windows to use the folder in the nextcloud folder instead of my users folder, then I run the official client to sync the entire nextcloud folder. By doing that, whichever computer I’m on I’ve got the same stuff in my main folders and anything else I have I can keep in the nextcloud folder. I’ve also got it on my mobile device just to automatically upload new pictures to the InstantUploads folder, but the app is a bit limited.
I live equally on the road working as at home, and I’ve got completely different computers for home and travel, so in this way I’ve always got all my files available since once I start up the computer it automatically starts pulling the local files. If you don’t want a full copy of everything on both machines, I think you can tell it to just create links of the files and the client will download the files from the server as they’re required, but I prefer having a local copy of the files myself.
I use nextcloud for syncing between different computers, because I tend to have different machines that are far separated geographically, and it works well. I put all my home folders on each computer into the nextcloud directory so I have all the same files everywhere I go and if I don’t have one of my computers I can still log in and access those files.
I used to use nextcloud as my solution for everything, but a big problem with photos is it isn’t really very navigable, and a problem with nextcloud as a general platform is everything is a plugin so if the plugin doesn’t get updated you can be stuck on an older version of the software which carries its own risks. As well, given the interface, You have your media but you can’t really go back and look at it. What I did instead is I set up a library in jellyfin with all my photos sorted into directories, and you can scroll and navigate through them fairly intuitively. I pulled my data out of google and facebook before deleting the accounts and so had many many photos but no way to really enjoy them, but that solution worked really well for me and I’ve been able to look at my old photos easily.
Lots of people love to defederate anything at the drop of a hat.
That’s it.
In reality, threads and lemmy aren’t even the same type of thing and are unlikely to intersect on a regular basis, in the same way you don’t see many posts from mastodon or pleroma.
One thing I find funny about the whole thing is meta is a bunch of corpos, so it isn’t that hard to just get them to defederate from you if you’re willing to grow a spine. My network is blocked, and I believe it’s because I called the maintainer of fediblock a nazi gestapo a bunch of times and demanded they add my site to their list of wrongthinkers or I’d call them doubleplus ungood, thus getting on a list that mindless drones use because it’s easier to just follow orders, regardless of where those orders come from.
lol
I find a lot of AAA games don’t really do couch coop these days which is disappointing.
One game I always come back to (and it’s ancient and Free to Play) is Awesomenauts. It’s a cartoon sidescrolling hero shooter type thing, but it’s a lot of fun.
I wonder if you’ve ever used a Chromecast based on this criticism.
For a standard Chromecast, you open the app on your phone, then press the cast button, then the device you want to cast to, and the the device begins to stream the media independently of your device. You can shut off the device you used to start casting and it doesn’t matter because Chromecast is pulling the data on its own.
On some websites such as YouTube on PC, you also have a cast button and you can press it, select the device and it’ll start playing. you can get this button to work on all kinds of sites, and a lot of open source software supports it to a degree such as VLC, Peertube (through a plugin), and Jellyfin.
Using google chrome you can cast your current webpage or your desktop, but that’s not the standard use of Chromecast.
It takes some finagling, but you can cast from Jellyfin to a standard Chromecast right from your phone.
The latest version out is Chromecast with Android TV, which is really nice (for now). It’s running a version of android and has the play store, so you can set up the Jellyfin android TV app, and stream from your home server without requiring a domain name or https like you do to stream properly on straight Chromecast.
The big issue with Chromecast in my view is that it’s a Google product which means 3 things:
Creative industries in general have been somewhat stagnant including TV, video games, movies, and so on.
Part of it is the raw bureaucratization of society where box checkers and rule followers are getting into creative positions and being uncreative.
That’s also why there are good things out there in niche spaces, because creative people didn’t disappear they’re just keeping low.
How so? It seems like chromecast does exactly what it says it does, even if it’s a suboptimal solution for not being FOSS.
Not sayin nothin, but you might want to look at Matrix Conduit. you won’t want to keep it open, but it’s much easier to set up and it uses a tiny amount of the resources. Synapse kills the server I’m running both conduit and lotide on just fine.
The same paypal that thought they can fine you for TOS violations?
