At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!

I miss IRC!

Appreciate the transparency here, keep up the great work <3

I think they’re referring to a trade in programme

Permadeath programming, love it

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

Oof. Had that happen outside my house once (lived on a very narrow street). I don't know how people can just drive off without leaving their details!

Curry or cheese+mayo for me but honestly all of these are great

iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though

Not forgetting Emby allows either a local or a federated account!

Very nice guide, thanks for taking the time!

Aww sheet, here we go again.

Why does nobody ever mention Emby? To me, it’s everything Plex used to be before it got enshittified!

The main reason it might be used is it integrates very well with services such as Sonarr/Radarr which can auto-download TV shows/movies if you have a good indexer. That and generally the Usenet servers do not keep access logs so it tends to be a lot safer than torrenting. For software/games etc. I would stick with torrents, but for TV/Movies if you have your own server Usenet is a compelling service.

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

I did just that, set up for me and some friends. Working nicely so far although takes a bit of time to get enough stuff federated!

Absolutely. It really depends what you want to do. Jump straight into the frontline meat grinder and you’ll be able to dip out whenever you like. You could even do some basic logistics runs in that time. Start building bases or factories and that’s when there’s a huge time commitment lol

Oof. I feel there’s a lot more of this kinda stuff to come…

Wow, I wonder how long this will last!

Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.
