Hello.
- Comment on Microsoft's real problem was never PlayStation 2 days ago:
Re 2, I was and am angry about how MS handled the Xbox exclusives. They spent the 90s making games for the pc that were great, and then the Xbox drops and the pc market is ignored for years. “just buy the console” makes no sense when I have a far superior machine right here, and when multi-player is behind a subscription. I was gifted an Xbox a few years after launch, along with Midtown Madness 3, the only game I wanted - and never gave MS a cent of my own money. I stayed on Halo 1 for years, then when Halo 2 finally dropped for the pc, I got it and enjoyed my first playthrough on my computer. My first playthrough of H3, ODST, and 4 weren’t until the MCC dropped on steam. I got Forza bundled with the Xbox, but it wasn’t until Horizon 3 released on pc that I got into it.
I fucking despise the 15-year window where MS just abandoned their loyal customers on pc to milk people with their inferior box and subscription bullshit. The smartest move they have made was re-embrace the pc as a customer base. And 8 year-old me could have told those moronic C-suites in 2001. They isolated a core customer base for short-term profits, and they have earned nothing but resentment for it.
The Xbox should have always been a product for “I don’t understand computers, but I want to play games”, while the pc should have remained a “I know what I’m doing, and I don’t need a walled garden”. MS fucked up massively, and lost out on revenue trying to force their hand for a decade+. The fact that they release on both is nothing but positive, as they get customers from both camps, and they finally are undoing a bit of the hate and resentment they caused.

- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 6 days ago:
This isn’t a guide, but any reverse proxy allows to to limit open ports on your network (router) by using subdomains (thisPart.website.com) to route connections to an internal port.
So you setup a rev proxy for jellyfin.website.com that points to the port that jf wants to use. So when someone connects to the subdomains, the reverse proxy is hit, and it reads your configuration for that subdomain, and since it’s now connected to your internal network (via the proxy) is routes to the port, and jf “just works”.
There’s an ssl cert involved but that’s the basic understanding. Then you can add Some Other Services at whatever.website.com and rinse and repeat. Now you can host multiple services, without exposing the open ports directly, and it’s easy for users as there is nothing “confusing” like port numbers, IP addresses, etc.

- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 1 week ago:
It’s not even looks, for some of us. I’m demisexual, and before we became a thing, my master was nowhere near my ‘type’. But he was incredibly sweet and caring, always has been, and the affection grew from there. When my ex fiancé left me, he was there, supporting me in crisis. Always there, doing his best to care for me. Now a few years on, I think he’s sexy as fuck, and I’m very happy with him.
Back to the question though, I’ve never really flirted with anyone. Always very direct, ‘hey you are cute/funny/shy/interesting’ mixed with ‘I’m horny, and you are the one causing that’ thus ‘want to fuck?’. I always put desert before the main course, as it were, since sex is a big thing for me - so I don’t want to get attached if we aren’t at least a bit compatible. What easier way then to jump right into it? Then if it goes well, we are already miles beyond the usual starter-pack bs, so the whole courting/flirting stuff is just unnecessary. We already have been horny freaks, we’ve already figured out that our desires align at least a bit, ‘why not date?’
The traditional way seems so… stupid, frankly. Slow buildup over weeks/months just to meet a brick wall when you find out that he only gets off with butt stuff, while you/they are repulsed to the point of vomiting at the thought… ‘well that was a fun 2 months, thanks and I’ll see you around I guess’. Nah, that just doesn’t make sense to me.
And there’s the whole awkward ‘what if they reject me’ like my guy/gal/sentient being, just stfu and ask them. Direct, no bullshit, no games, no dancing around the question. ‘hey, you’re cute, are you seeing someone?’ is fine. Asking if they have a Facebook account so you can add them and then changing your relationship status to ‘it’s complicated’ and hoping they comment on that, isn’t the smart play.
I guess if they enjoy it, sure, flirt away. But in my mind it makes no sense and merely complicates and extends an awkward phase.
Do note that I myself decided long ago that I’d only date other furries, so the dating pool is… very liberating, vs the standard. But that doesn’t mean that people have to continue following the same rules and expectations.
Do what makes you feel right, and fuck the norms. You don’t owe anyone anything, and if someone expects something of you that you don’t think is ideal, maybe they aren’t for you, and that’s okay. You aren’t made from a cookie cutter, don’t try to conform to one.

The railings don’t continue to the full length of the deck, which is both a safety hazard and disappointing. Or in other terms, why the fuck did you circumcise your deck? Definitely losing points for that.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 2 weeks ago:
Then there is me, who has only had it when it was on $1 promo and I used it to get a 10% discount to buy a game, and then immediately cancel the pass.
I guess if it stayed $1 indefinitely I’d keep the sub, but beyond that, nope.
