They probally figure they can put a lot of this (or already put a lot of this) on YouTube and split the profits with Google. Cuts down on overhead.

“I already beat the game, why would I pay for it?” This must be especially common for big AAA games too.
I dunno if corpos hiding under sex and drugs to lure people to their corpo products is a great reality either.
I have gigabit, and struggled to stream. Turned out I had the Quality of Service (QoS) /traffic priority settings on my router misconfigured.
This might be something to look into.
Can a remote user download something from your network at a reasonable and consistent speed? (Not using Plex)
Can you upload a large file somewhere and monitor the speed and see if it maintains speed as expected?
For me, these two things were also performing at unexpectedly low speeds, or being wildly inconsistent until I fixed my QoS settings.
It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.
“Managed Decline” That’ll be big.
I assume they are doing checks of other things. Local software is not the same as a web service that is checking your IP for your location.
They could use location services, your registration country for your Apple ID, the sale location of your device, and other things. They could even aggregate indicators and use that.
Lemmy on the ground with first hand reports!
In the future, you should use the block quote feature. Some clients render the method you used with syntax highlighting.
That really does sound like a bag of hurt.
But it also sounds like a fuller alternative to what the big guys offer. And in the long run it would make it a well rounded space and protocol.
It’s too bad that it sounds like it both isn’t straightforward to implement properly, and attracts heat.
I wish them luck. Privacy and security would be great. People do use these spaces as direct messaging platforms. Even if it’s not the best all around idea. As social spaces evolve, the way people message evolves too. Making it secure earlier in that cycle is good.
I’m holding out for matter over thread, personally.
This is why we hear about this same thing happening with Linux distros all the time.
Huh, that’s unintuitive to me. I remember people talking about too many hard drives in a case using too much power before. Overloading it, etc. 1-2W each would not overload a normal power supply. 🤔
Did hard drives just quietly get super efficient when I wasn’t paying attention? Or is something else going over my head here?
Yeah, using “self hosted” in your title is misleading.
Ah, in that scope, I see.
The majority of people pirate
Really?
It almost looks like an upscale using the laserdiscs instead of the DVDs might yield a nicer image.
They loiter in thrift stores.
When I saw it mentioned in another thread, I assumed it was just someone memeing.
