- Comment on Revisiting Rule #3 Hey everyone, as I previously mentioned the rules here are 1 day ago:
We do not build gaming PCs here. But imo selfhosting hardware related questions should be allowed. All about NAS, HDDs/SSDs, computers and abilities of CPUs for selhosting purposes, what OS to pick for which tasks - imo all these fit this sub.
There is a big influx of newbies/normies lately. Many want to escape paying for expensive and useless subscriptions and are willing to host their data and tools locally. People do have these questions. No need to gatekeep selfhosting. It should be a welcoming community.
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 1 day ago:
To think that right about a year ago I was jumping into the deep hole of selfhosting and was thinking to get Plex perpetual license. Happy I didn’t.

I’ve seen how it looked on mobile devices and other devices that rendered them wrong. But how really it supposed to be looking? Like, what was they seeing while choosing these emojis? SS is clear as a day, but the other two.

It depends on Xbox model and your skills in soldering.
Mine was Corona (2010) and it was quite easy. The most difficult part was to solder to a tiny pad that is covered with green varnish. It is easy to break and it is bit difficult to solder to.
The best part today is that you won’t need any mod chips. Only wires is enough for most of the console versions.
But even more so, you don’t need to even solder if you want to soft mod it (non permanent solution). Just plug usb in and wait a little and it’s done. Unplug usb and it boots to stock.

Anyone can delete their posts.
Problem is that if they ask questions, get resolutions and then nuke the post - resolution gets nuked too. That is how communities die. Firstly, no one will seek answers here because it is not here anymore. Secondly, users will spawn lots of posts with the same question since the answer got nuked, which will annoy prevalent users.
Wouldn’t it be more better if a question with an answer stays on the forum for everyone to see? Hasn’t it happened to you to find a post with an issue discussed that is similar to yours except there is no answer anymore since it got nuked and all it has is a post title?

I am seeding a popular xbox360 rom archive, and Ninja Gaiden 2 already has been downloaded, unpacked, and transferred to xbox. I have heard it is a great game. I will pick it up later on after I finish a few games higher on the list.

Been playing MGSV Phantom Pain.
Got gifted xbox360. Modded it and been playing games from that era that I’ve skipped. AC1 was great, AC2 is okay. Tried MGSV and was like “Wow! AI in this game is incredible!”. But FPS was abysmal so I got Steam key and now playing on Bazzite. Game is great! Definitely recommend.

Assassins Creed 1
Recently got gifted xbox360 Slim. Hacked it and made it run downloaded games. I always had PC and no consoles, so I am catching up with games. Finished Asura’s Wrath, Juiced 2, Dante’s Inferno and now for the first time in my life playing Assassins Creed. Cant wait to play though 2nd and Black Flag. Heard so much great stuff about these both games.
- Comment on Is it possible to have a usable domain without a VPS or a static IP address? 2 months ago:
My ISP changes IP somewhere around once a month. I own a domain on porkbun and they offer a simple docker compose script that updates my records to a current IP.
I believe other domain selling platforms also have similar scripts or solutions.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 2 months ago:
The router that comes with my ISP contract is garbo and I highly doubt it has bridge function. With my used 60euro worth fritzbox, I keep the customization options and reliability. It has been 1.5 years and it hasnt failed me a single time while the other constantly had issues with stuff connecting to it.
- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 2 months ago:
Router provided by my ISP is just garbage. The settings are so scrace, I might as well just connect my PC directly (if I could, cause cable is DOCSIS). Had to buy 10yo DOCSIS router that actually is usable.
If your router is fine in settings, maybe changing it won’t be necessary. As for ISP spying on you - probably possible but certainly is not likely.
- Comment on Every anime ever… 4 months ago:
It only picked up buzz at season 3. Almost nobody who did watch full series did start with s1 on release.
Imo, Breaking Bad is worth it. It kept being engaging from start to finish and haven’t overstayed its welcome like some other mainstream shows.
