I’ve never had to do that… Just say you lost it.

Because I’m lazy and want to be able to watch my stuff from anywhere, and let my friends access my library easily across all their devices.

Setting up Jellyfin for remote access is not trivial. Maybe for a lot of self hosting people it’s fairly simple, but it’s not nearly as simple as just downloading and running the Plex server software.

I paid for a lifetime account when it was 250, and I felt like it was worth it. At 750 like it is now, I probably would actually have considered figuring out Jellyfin. As with everything, it’s a money/time analysis and it’s less of my time to host Plex.

Aren’t phones literally designed to run and be on all the time nowadays? Huh?

Like, yeah, you’re using old hardware to run stuff and you presumably stopped using that phone for some reason, so it makes sense not to run vital services off your old phone, but for simple stuff like this it seems neat.

Analysis paralysis mostly.

If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn’t for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It’s for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don’t have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.

I’d LOVE a resource like that! I’m sure it exists but I never found it, and it is a silly thing to be hung up on but I just didn’t properly understand the folder structure. I’ve still used Linux plenty but I’m dragging my feet on using it as a daily driver, but I’m VERY close to making the jump.

Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.

Somebody convince me I’m wrong.

There is no reason to display “100%” in your UI for more than a single second. Either show 99% and then finish, or show 100% only when you are ACTUALLY done and only show it for a little.

If you’re still doing ANYTHING AT ALL don’t say you’re 100% complete. How is it still like this

How does Valve prevent you from controlling your own device? Their version of Linux isn’t locked down, you can fully customize it like any Linux afaik.

What reason is there for this when the compiler could just optimize that variable out of existence? This feels like the most hand holdy annoying “feature” unless I’m missing something.

I remember editing the wobbly window settings on my friend’s computer. You’d barely touch a window and it’d get locked into about a minute of the most absurd wobble. I was cracking up for like an hour straight.

Edge started itself on boot after a recent Windows update. It even had a little pop-up about how “helpful” it was to have it start right when my computer turns on so I can “get to browsing” faster. It’s never been set as my default. Uhg.
