Can’t find a video, gonna assume it’s the video explaining this? Anyways found this article which was very cool to read: https://awesomeocean.com/guest-columns/natgeo-photographer-seal/

(Guessing its the same thing)

It didn’t sound like a big deal, but somehow you just instilled in me an existential dread of having no teeth to enjoy solid foods when craving some.

If it works for you, there’s no reason not to keep using it.

If it looks like an upgrade in performance and simplicity and you think it’s worth swapping, then you could consider it, though personally I’d wait until it’s a bit more mature/proven (maybe it is already idk).

They mentioned the early days when it comes to licensing games to us.

But dont mention that in the early days of multiplayer games it was us moderating our own online communities, not the company selling the game.

I’m unconvinced anyone will really legislate this,

The Eurpean Union sort of has it’s head on when it comes to addressing consumer rights, if they legislate this, then the entirety of europe will likely benefit (even those outside the european union like the UK, examples of this have happened before if im correct, see windows 10 1 year extension for eu).

and if it is, it’ll just lead to that country being scratched off the list of where the game is officially supported.

No it won’t. Maybe if it’s a country with no internet and doesn’t have a population interested in gaming, but any major country like UK, Germany, etc enforcing this would force the hands of game publishers bevause these markets are just too big.

No publisher is going to pull out of the UK for example.

Realistically, we need to stop buying online only games where the servers will eventually go offline, and support those that release open servers.

I agree. Unfortunately most people are unaware or have no backbone so they keep on buying the next “big” game, nevertheless I agree, we need to stop supporting anti-consumer behavior instead of defending it.

A separate backup NAS would better than nothing. If losing your data would be a disaster, then don’t overlook backing up your data in a separate location (either at someone elses house or use a cloud backup provider like Backblaze) incase of a fire, etc.

Cloud or any way to backup your data in another location is greatly preferred to having another NAS in the same location just as a mirrored copy of your first.

Yeah, I’m not sure how they concluded in their edit that 400kg is not a lot to shed.

I’m gonna stuff that unlimited budget between the fabric layers of mine and take it home with me.

Akamai isnt small hehe

Usually fine for media only like Jellyfin, since you write every now and then new content, then only read from it for longer periods of time.

I probably wouldn’t go for a SMR drive anyways just because drives can last a long while and who knows what i’ll want to do with it in the future.

(If you use RAID, this advice doesn’t matter, but if you don’t run raid like me and only use it for media like in the example, I’d imagine it’d be fine)

100% agree.

Unless they artifically bloat their patch/update file sizes, I’d imagine sending it through your phone to the device over bluetooth would work fine.

I’d even, personally, prefer they use a wifi link directly between my phone and the device while it updates before I give it free access to my lan.

Sounds good, I mean you can use literally anything to host servers.

It’s (debian) a great choice especially when you plan to only use docker though, for sure, as you won’t really run into those old package issues (+ if u like to upgrade and feel very safe doing so each time without looking at news first, might be survivorship bias, but debian has never broken for me through multiple major version upgrades and I’ve been blindly upgrading each time).

Never used a robot vacuum, but the idea is that you set it up once and never think about it, right?

So you’d set it up once with bluetooth, then disconnect and let it do its job.

Software updates could cause issues, though if they release a finished product it wouldn’t need any or much of those if it works for you already. And updates can be managed over bluetooth.

We need bluetooth devices back, there’s no reason for 99.999999% of devices to have your network password.

https://github.com/alexta69/metube does this very well already!

Any backup location is secure as long as you encrypt your data securely before you back it up there.

For something as important as a backup that you don’t want to lose, I’d stick with something tried and true like Backblaze B2.

Backblaze is also very cheap for what it is (a great storage solution). You can pay monthly or use more of the regular pay as you go model.

Monthly and pay as you go have ups and downs, but the benefit of pay as you go for me is the ridiculously cheap deal (if you download your backups a lot it may be less so, but I don’t so it works out very cheap for me).

You have arch and debian experience, so I think Debian would be great for your server.

You don’t want rolling releases (eg arch) on your server really because you don’t want stuff to break. Debian will be a rock solid choice.

I don’t feel confident with the hardware questions because I have never streamed higher than 1080p, but I would imagine it’d be easy for most systems. A used computer would probably be my choice, mostly for upgradeability, but that’d use more power than a mini-pc for example.

A normal used tower pc could be good if you plan on getting a cheap GPU down the line for transcoding (maybe you’re out and don’t want to use as much data, etc). CPUs can probably do a lot for one user though.

This is the best thing I ever did see with my peepers
