Don’t you dare put onions in my eggs; I’ll cut you.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 2 days ago:
I loooove how divided people are on this and hopefully people come to realize it isn’t black and white. Replacing work hours from humans is precisely why we have tools, why we have technology in general. I don’t buy that angle as a valid criticism of AI at all.
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 1 week ago:
What I like about running a dedicated physical deployment of pihole (and only pihole) is better reliability, especially when using at for DNS. If a VM host has any issues, the network will lose DNS services. This is much more likely to occur the more layers and services you run on that host.
A friend recently had this happen while they weren’t home and their family went mad as they lost useful internet access - some necessary for remote work.

Why would you need to reverse engineer the compression algorithm? The output can be viewed without that. I don’t need to know how you got to my party to have a good time with you :)

Curious on the use case here. How do you make use of this information specifically from Jellyfin?

Fair!

I think both of you are right but also wrong. It’s called “whatever you want” and there is no universal name for the practice. If you’re not using your PC for media, it certainly isn’t an HTPC.
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 4 weeks ago:
A retiree couple that scrounged up enough to have ~$50k yearly budget for the remainder of their days falls into your definition of wealthy, and I would argue that doesn’t line up. They are not, in fact, wealthy.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 5 weeks ago:
Persona has a unique look for sure. Some AAAs do look neat, but it is very, very, rare. On the whole they don’t come close to the indie scene.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 5 weeks ago:
The indie scene is where you’ll find the most creative takes. There are some truly stunning styles that mainstream games would probably never try.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive 5 weeks ago:
We have a billion platforms for longer vids. The shortness is what made vine amazing. They need to keep it that way.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 month ago:
Expecting every post to come with a little handholding tutorial isn’t reasonable either. For the surgeon example it doesn’t take a surgeon to give the warning, but that same non-surgeon isn’t necessarily in a position to guide anyone either.

No.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 month ago:
Being encouraged to learn about the basics isn’t gatekeeping, it’s just sound technical advice. Self hosting can be great, but when you shift critical services/infrastructure and something goes south you expose yourself to some serious harm (think self-hosting your password management), or perhaps leave yourself open and vulnerable to threats you don’t understand.
Having access to easier/friendlier tools is great, but using them without fundamental understanding is risky.

Love the DS4s. I’m not a fan of the asymmetric analogs of other controllers, though I will tolerate them.

You probably smell really bad. Olfactory fatigue might make you think otherwise. Just shower and moisturize. Find skin friendly soap.

Truck drivers have such small dick energy. Further, consent is not required to post pictures taken in public.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 1 month ago:
I’ll only address journalism as it relates to video games/reviews, but my opinion is that there are better ways to communicate information about a game than reading about it.
For me the big one is simply seeing it played. I’ve read beautiful reviews of games that when it comes time to play do not click for me. Watching someone else play it gives me way more context and appreciation. My go to for this is simply youtube. I skip the middle man entirely. I get a wide range of videos from different players in an easy to access format. Others I know use twitch to similar effect. As the options for providing this information grow, older media lose footing. I’m not surprised at all. I’m not sure we should lament it, truthfully.

I think lack of accountability is a common trait among americans in general though. Everything is someone else’s fault. The individual is sacrosanct. They can do no wrong.
