Or physical media, either is good

Glances could be a good option, it’s pretty bare bones, but it covers the basics and serves my needs well enough

They’re fuckin’ nihilists dude, they don’t believe in anything

You are clearly not aware of the windfall profits corporations are making, and that they are then passing exactly none of it on to the workers generating that profit

It’s like Kodi-lite, specifically for shows? It’s not for me, but cool that it’s out there

As of June 2022, more than 500 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute. If that video is stored at 6Mb/s, a conservative estimate, that equates to about 10TB a minute. Obviously you wouldn’t want everything, but it’s still way more than the peertube network could handle in it’s current form I’m sure. I cannot fathom the amount of data that Big Datatm handles, the fact that most of the services are free makes me highly suspicious.

The Linux way, as it was written.

I’d only recommend Duolingo to dip a toe in. If after awhile you’re wanting a bit more, I’ve had a good experience with Deutsch Welle’s german course - https://learngerman.dw.com/en/learn-german/s-9528

Also Babel is excellent but pricey.

Have you considered some kind of remote mouse app? There’s multiple good options out there, wifimouse.github.io/ for example

Someone’s running a Bell 103 for laughs

Whenever I get worried about new technology I think of the Luddites, then I am less worried

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play

You should be able to, ahem, find some convinent ROM collections on most torrent indexers. A standard NES game is only ~128kb, so the whole library of games is only like 750mb. It scales exponentially with every generation as data storage improved, so the SNES library is 2gb, the N64’s is 5gb, and the PS3’s is 20tb. I find that I really don’t need the full library of a consoles releases available, so I usually only choose maybe a hundred or two that I’m interested in, there’s only so much time in the day. If you don’t need a handheld device I can recommend modding your ps3, it can emulate most anything, the hombrew scene is active and there’s been a lot of support for it, plus for the majority of consoles it’s a full custom firmware solution, so it’s a pretty seemless experience once you set it up. Plus with the internal hdd there’s plenty of space for stuff. Pretty much everything up to last gen is easily pirateable, so have fun with it, it’s easy once you get the hang of it.

I would definitely recommend consumer grade hardware for a small home server, I ran older server gear (dual e5645+42GB ram) and found it to be loud and power hungry, especially at idle. Moved over to only slightly newer consumer stuff (i5-3470+8GB ram) and it still did what I needed it to, without costing $40AUD a month to run.

8GB of RAM is perhaps a bit limiting at times but I’ve not yet run into any critical issues because of it. I wouldn’t want to try simultaneous, high bit-rate transcodes on it but aside from that it’s been fine for my use case.

Damn good bot

Oh for sure, the US is totally cooked when judged by most important metrics

But just to note, this doesn’t work if your ISP places you in a double NAT situation by using carrier grade NAT
