Yeah, I’m hopeful that changes. I know big projects require stronger leadership, but watching the comments on things made me feel like smaller OSS devs were like me and felt discouraged from helping out.

Jellyfin is the o ly OSS project I’ve walked away from a change. It was a simple exception thrown that could be ignored in very specific circumstances that I remember. I wrote up the change, left several lines of comments, looked up code style, files the bug and PR in the proper way and… Rejected.

My 2 or 3 line PR was nitpicked to hell, I think the fourth round of reviews I just walked away. It wasn’t worth it for me at that point.

So I’m not entirely surprised that they’re feeling burnout. It seemed exhausting getting anything done.

That was the only thing I was excited for. When I heard it was live service o ly I just assumed that they didn’t want my money, elsewhere why would they make it?

Best “it just works” solution I’ve found. So many others are just weird scripts around yt-dlp, and this kind of is too, but the most maintained and supported.

What a painfully stupid article to write

We’ve seen your feedback since launch, and we’re reading all of it

Oh well, thank god they read it. Here that everyone, call it off, they read the feedback

Course not, they just fired them all. But they’re completely replaceable as corporate America has taught us

Halo 3 was pretty much the pinnacle of releases. Gaming-wide it was highly anticipated, the true completion of the trilogy. It was hyped perfectly, the trailers were perfect representations of the game, it came out exactly when they said it would. The extra editions were meaningful, I got the “Legendary” edition and it included the Master Chief helmet, which I still have.

Anecdotally we were in high school, and the hype was so high that we spent the entire weekend playing as a group. My friend and I played through the campaign in one night, and then we played multiplayer for the weekend after. It was non stop fun, there were no bugs we found, the experience was spot on. It truly was lightning in a bottle.

It’s something that modern gamers just don’t have or get anymore. Not only is everything live service now, but multiplayer is very isolating, it is meant to be played as a one-screen experience, no ways to have more than 1 player on a single screen, which essentially killed the LAN party. No reason to group up, bring your TVs and consoles together anymore. Agree with you, day one releases, updates, bugs, you just can’t do that anymore. I don’t think we’ll get another release like that. (However marketers desperately want people to be that hyped)

I don’t use flux or traefik, but if you’re interested I can show you how I set up Istio

Sounds like he stepped down, which I wouldn’t blame him after this.

Read the same. He probably didn’t really want to come back either but knew it was the only way he would get them their rightfully earned bonuses.

I’ll have to play around with mine then, because I’ve had not great luck with it, or at least very disappointing. The CPU offloading is fairly slow, but maybe I should try tweaking more

That’s where I am okay with hardware, but can’t seem to fit the models on my 3090. I have dreams of something like an A100 someday, but not until there’s a ton of used ones that hit the market. What do you use for your hardware?

Strong doubt, you can’t run away from free electricity forever. The “Industry decline” is manufactured because they can’t compete with free electricity. It’s temporary at most.

Yeah it’s heresy on Lemmy, but I do find it genuinely useful. My only regret is that I have to use Claude/Anthropic more than I’d like, which is why I have a vested interest in selfhosting myself. I’d rather figure out how to run the larger models myself and cut them off completely, but you even begin to mention that here and you’ll get downvoted to hell.

I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).

If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.

Yeah I want to see this next to the CEO complaining that no one wants to buy anything on his store

Very neat! I’ll try it out sometime. What does it use for a boot device? Cache drive?

That’s pretty neat that the TPM can be used that way, maybe worth migrating over. The flash drive always made me so nervous.

So after the migration, my boot drive and flash drive could both fail, and I could plug in a new unraid boot/flash drive, it’d read my license, and it’d just work?

Personally as some extra spice as I worry about ransomeare, I have a few key files I check across my array that should never change. If any of their hashes are off, I abort immediately.

Not quite all our dreams, seeing how we were asking for a show…

Perfectly summed up. It also pairs well with the fact that it’s a creative item vs everything else that has metrics and facts. It’s why it’s crazy for them to assume that since last game was this popular that that one should be even more popular, that it must be wildly popular. It’s not, it’s a creative work, some will like it, others won’t.

They keep trying to apply Azure business metrics to a creative field

Got frigate set up, more mature than I expected!

I’ve learned it really depends on the device. It’s completely a mixed bag, and that’s why I can’t trust it. Half the time it lasts over a decade, the other half less than a year.

For example, I got their “Enterprise” Switch 8 PoE with 2 SFP+ ports. I plugged it in in my garage, where it was 50 degrees (F) at the time, and it overheated. I googled it, apparently the SFP ports simply overheat. Turns out while it has a fan, it doesn’t turn on and simply overheats because they “Didn’t want a noisy fan on someone’s desk”. Which… uh, doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. Their enterprise term means nothing.

That being said, my rackmount switches have been solid, oldest one is 10 years old. However that unknown makes it hard to justify purchasing new equipment.
