Powderhorn

I’m not really aware of anyone still shooting porn after 15 years outside of HKJ, and if I’m being honest, I’m not entirely sure she was active yet … it was a different time.

It was also damn near impossible to monetize back then (self-host, find payment processor overseas that took 30% minimum, self-advertise), especially anything outside of male-centric boring shit you’ve seen a thousand times, which led to more of a discovery process and a tighter-knit community for those shooting or appearing in kink.

I’m glad she’s doing OK after just an event, but I never found myself wondering why she didn’t post anymore.

If you know, you know.

Surely it’s available from somewhere reputable still … not like it was getting frequent updates before 2021. I was using it through May, when I switched to KDE, so I never looked into alternatives after that. Oh, well. I tried. 😁

Fair points, but the question was about software.

Free but not open-source, Microsoft’s own SyncToy. Used it for years to do weekly backups to SD cards. You can set multiple source/target combos and run one or all with a button thereafter.

Sounds like an SBC …

Having played this game in the past, the solution I found was getting an N95/N100 box and then using KDE Connect to use my phone as a remote. Bonus: all available desktop extensions to shape your experience.

I just got a new router that puts the whole network behind Mullvad via WireGuard … getting the headless pihole to play nice was fun, but I’m pretty stoked that my phone now falls under that umbrella.

This is a really important point! Needing two copies of a media server so one has a backup really complicates the whole point of simplification that a media server theoretically presents. Also, what sounded great in 2007 is always worth a bit of scrutiny now with a wildly different streaming landscape.

Still, with what Paramount is doing with their IP, Trek overall is something I feel a need to have a local copy of (see: Prodigy). Case-by-case assessment is, as you note, a good use of time.

What turbocharged my server ambitions was having stepkids of that age where everything they want to watch is replete with ads tailored to their lack of understanding of the world, and it quickly became apparent that hearing a half-dozen times a day about what they “need” wasn’t going to fly. When you need half the Disney Channel in real time, you have a new full-time job.

I used to obsess about file names on episodes, but now that I’m old, I just use Jellyfin because the file names don’t actually matter so long as they use standard conventions. I’ve seriously lost days of my life to renaming media files.

I have been waiting for this for ages …

At this point, I think it’s sufficient to say “927” for people to get the reference!

If your starting assumption on the internet is that each keystroke is ephemeral, Lemmy is not the problem.

If that is not your starting assumption, this is not news.

Unless it’s pointing to a red circle.

Holy shit! This is amazing! But how will I ever know what’s REALLY IMPORTANT without ALL CAPS and a shitton of BANGS?!?!?!?!?!?!?
