Started with Bloodborne, threw my controller at the TV, never touched a souls game again. Although I do have a copy of Demon's Souls PS5 collecting dust on my shelf... should I give it a try?
I've always made this connection but it doesn't work in the real world because people don't remember Edison as the guy who got rich off of other people's work, but as some genius inventor.
What I think: "They'll live without my reply."
What I do: I don't reply.
What happens: I do this more and more get alienated from the people I should have replied to.

For your profession, there should be plenty of companies where English is spoken, irregardless of the country. In my previous company, we had engineers from all over and while English was everyones second language, it was the only common one we had so that was spoken. I'd first try to choose a country you like or where immigration is easy and focus on finding employment there.
Install a subsonic server on a synology. There are many apps that support the protocol. I use the ultrasonic android app which is FOSS and pretty much acts how you want it to. I use it to stream my collection when I'm on the road.
I mean, I'd be pissed but I'd probably still buy it, providing it was fully playable offline and the content reflected the price. I play GTA when it releases, beat it, fool around a bit and never touch it again. The last time I spent money on gta was when V released on 360, more than 10 years ago.
Its OK, I dont mind lower numbers on fedi. Feels more like The Good Old Days™ of forums. More people, more shit.
I don't think the point of Linux is to tinker. That would kinda make it for tinkerers only. In my view, the point of Linux is that its a kernel only and you can use it to build an OS around and build one which is easy to tinker with or one which isn't. Point is, not every system is suited for every task and the Linux kernel allows you to use it how you wish (via distros or you can make your own system around it). Why the gatekeeping?
As if, I, the programmer, will open a ticket for anything. Thats your job tester. Thats jour job PM. Im not putting this fire and I dont care if the company goes under because of it.
You try and then realize its all the other people who mess it up, so you either remove yourself from society or try to destroy it to star anew. You know... the Thoreau vs Hitler dichotomy.
Only one custom category for the best indie games.
But I dont really need it since I uninstall games I dont play and my library view is filtered to installed only:
Showstopper in the sense that it may not play natively and require transcoding. While x264 has pretty much universal support, AV1 does not.. at least not on some of my devices. I agree that it is a good encoder and the way forward but its not the best when using older devices. My experience has been with Chromecast with Google TV. Looks like google only added AV1 support in their newest Google TV Streamer (late 2024 device).
We'll sooner see linux supported anti cheat than we will server browsers.
I couldn't sleep yesterday so I started reading about LVADs (heart pumps) and saw some animal testing pictures and then I couldn't sleep.
Absolutely, whatever works for you. I think its awesome to use the cheapest hardware possible to do these things. Being able to use a media server without transcoding capabilities? Brilliant. I actually thought you'd probably be able to get away with no transcoding at all since 1080p has native support on most devices and so does h264. In the rare cases, you could transcode beforehand (like with a script whenever a file is added) so you'd have an appropriate format on hand when needed.
AV1 is definitely a showstopper a lot of the time indeed. H265 I would expect to see more on 2k or 4k content (though native support is really high anyway). My experience so far has been seeing transcoding done only becuase the resolution is unsupported when I try watching 4k videos on an older 1080p only chromecast.
Doing updates today
My little nuc server. Had to change some bios configs today so I busted out the old LCD and since it was there already, did a package update for the hell of it.
