Nice try, potato man.

I searched “are we the baddies meme” to recreate it, but this was one of the top results, so didn’t need to:

Spotify migration to self hosting:
1 - download spotdl, to download your Spotify songs.
2 - setup a navidrome docker container to host them on your own server.
3 - download ultrasonic on devices you want to stream from.

Now you have a single place you need to upload your new music, and all devices will sync. Ultrasonic has local caching too, so no need for a constant connection. Enjoy.

1/1 is also a fraction, but in English dialect the term ‘a fraction’ is synonymous with ‘a small part of’ rather than denoting any possible fraction.

Unplayable? I bought the game at launch and it played absolutely fine.

Was it a barren wasteland with fuck all to do? Sure, but it worked perfectly fine, the last decade has seen HG turn NMS into one of if not the most comprehensive space adventure game.

Since 2016 they have added various additional stuff like VR support, alongside gameplay enhancements (IE: content like building your own fleet, bases, settlements, expeditions, animal taming etc). All for free.

Conversely, larian has repeatedly stated that they do not want to do additional content for BG3; with every patch release it’s “this is it, we’re done with this now”, and when quizzed on additional content, such as dlc, The studio claims the Devs were elated to cancel BG3 dlc in favour of making a different game entirely.

Personally, I don’t consider the latter to be an indication of a labour of love, but rather an obligation to their fans (because larian are a very good studio, who care for their fans).

I love both games, but BG3 absolutely did not deserve the labour of love category imo, there are simply far more obvious alternatives.

• HDMI isn’t labeled.
• The third usb port is flipped
• HDMI port isn’t parallel with other ports.

You think oxygen is your ally, but you merely adopted the oxygen. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see carbon dioxide until I was already a man!

Glad to hear we’re not the only country with an imperial hangover! Our experience is pretty much the same. Bathroom scales, gym weights etc all have both kg and lb on them. Over time society here does seem to be shifting more toward metric; most people tend to know their height in both these days, whereas 20 years ago it would have been predominantly ft rather than cm.

Do you think lbs change depending on what we’re measuring? A lb is a lb here too…

I’d argue a comprehension of both metric and imperial is superior, as well as provides insight into which the inferior measurement is, but you do you mate.

Actually we use both. For example, body weight is (traditionally) stone and lbs, but parcel weight is usually kg.

The same is true for length; height in feet, but stuff like room measurements in cm.

I think the only area where we’re actually consistent is traveling distance? All signs and gauges are in Mph rather than Km/h. In fact the only time I can think of someone talking about distance in kilometres, is to do with sports (IE a 5k/10k running event).

Soccer was only ever a nickname tbf, It stood for a(socc)iation football.

I guess an equivalent would be like calling your police the bobby force.

Enshittification, in my kitchen?!

You have to be pretty naive to not have seen this one coming from a mile off. But hey, at least people can see what’s in their fridge without having to open the door, what a luxury.

Conversely, I’d imagine there are babysitters out there who at times wish they could just throw the baby away.

Old people burning,

old people burning,

put your hands up.

Username checks out.

Congrats! Out of the usual suspects, (nginx, traefik & caddy), id say nginx has the steepest learning curve, so it’s definitely something to crow about mate! I know professionals in the tech industry that have a hard time with nginx config, so an enthusiast getting it down is a bigger deal than you’re giving yourself credit for.

I host various services for friends and family; and here are a couple I think will be of particular interest to you:

• matrix server with element clients. (Self hosted discord/WhatsApp alternative which is open source unlike TS).
• Drop server and client setup (self hosted steam like experience).

Another thing I would strongly suggest doing, is setting up a single sign on Auth server. Something that will allow your friends and family to have one login for anything you setup. Personally I use keycloak. But there are other options like authentik and voidauth that are worth looking at too!

Congrats again on the progress mate! You’re smashing it so far.

I’ve played enough peak to know these are essential when trying to make a jump that looks like you should make, but probably won’t.

When is it ever about anything else?

Getting your tackle out; a war tradition almost as old as bonking someone on the head with a metal object.

Less practiced by armed militias and moreso ‘crackhead locals’ these days; it remains an incredibly effective tactic.

UT stands for Ubuntu touch ;) I’m already on a Linux phone. I’m talking about app development.
