Threw them over the wall.

Energy efficiency strongly correlates to datacentre costs.

I thought the idea of TS is that it strongly types everything so that the JS interpreter doesn’t waste all of its time trying to figure out the best way to store a variable in RAM.

Is this what I need for streaming services?

Done! I’ve been selfhosting for over 20 years now.

I would argue that it adds a new failure point, and a catastrophic one at that.

Yes, many hunans don’t monitor their oil properly. I’ve seen some destroy engines because they thought the low oil light could be ignored for a week.

Even if you still had the dipstick, owners would become reliant on the sensor and grenade the engine when it gets it wrong. Remember how Teslas had hoods that flew open while driving? The problem wasn’t the latch. The problem was owners relying on a crappy sensor.

The final release is a 700KB zip file containing a single .exe.

Sure, that’s bigger than the original “edit.com”, but it’s not the 90MB install you’d expect from MS.

Microsoft just released Edit a couple of days ago. At least it’s not bloated, and it’s cross-platform.

I’ve been buying Gigabyte and pressing “DEL” since 1998.

It’s insane that there is no accepted UX standard for this.

My current server is just my previous desktop PC hardware. $0 when you repurpose while upgrading your desktop.

We already got that. We just don’t think it should stop there.

It’s the “Plex Remote Watch Pass”. A new charge for something that used to be free. https://www.plex.tv/plans/

And after you install your monthy server update, things break because Grandma’s client is suck in the Obama era.

They won’t even get to the login screen.

All my relatives seem to have Hisense VIDAA TVs. There’s a plex app on the store. Jellyfin would require an external device like a Chromecast or HTPC to use it.

But now telling then it’s $3/month to watch my pirated movies? No bueno.

And on topic, I develop a commercial app and there is no way I am dropping a rating or review on it.

So, all the family phones that are using this feature for handset backups. They’re just gonna stop backing up?

Thanks, Google. Thanks for protecting me from free software that scans files on my own phone and transmits it across my own network to my own server. Such a privacy nightmare. /s

Android without Google services is basically taking the capitalism away.

Install LineageOS or GrapheneOS without installing Google Play.

Slap on F-Droid for apps and you have a phone that doesn’t talk to Google at all, and is completely beyond their control.

Intel has always been good with transcoding. The QSV on my plex server is quite efficient when transcoding video. I wouldn’t consider wasting money and power on a GPU. This is on a 4th gen i5 from a decade ago. I would imagine a modern chip would do it without a sweat.

I have a job, and the office is 35km away. I get a locker in my office.

I have two backup drives, and every month or so, I will rotate them by taking one into the office and bringing the other home. I do this immediately after running a backup.

The drives are LUKS encrypted btrfs. Btrfs allows snapshots and compression. LUKS enables me to securely password protect the drive. My backup job is just a btrfs snapshot followed by an rsync command.

I don’t trust cloud backups. There was an event at work where Google Cloud accidentally deleted an entire company just as I was about to start a project there.

Is it just Linux? I keep finding games that clearly make no attempt to separate game assets from user save data.

I’ve tried multiple user accounts pointing to the same library path and the file permissions keep getting screwed up. I tried one user account with steam’s multi user login and the save files tend to jump between users.

I don’t think it’s acceptable to duplicate a 100GB game so that two users can have different save points.
