  • Ja wir sind aktuell in einer Ära wo es ziemlich unrentabel ist sich einen (Gaming) PC neu zu kaufen.

    Würde ich nicht den PC sowieso brauchen, wäre eine Konsole deutlich attraktiver, günstiger und schmerzloser (HW-Umbruch mit DirectStorage und texture streaming Schwierigkeiten)

    Ich denke durchaus dass es sich wieder ändern könnte, aber das wahrscheinlich erst spät im Lifecycle der aktuellen Konsolen Generation.

    In meinem Freundeskreis sind zwar alle PC-Gamer, u. Ä aufgrund der Spiele die gespielt werden, allerdings trifft meine Aussage wahrscheinlich auf viele Leute zu die in das Hobby Gaming (wieder)einsteigen.


  • Plex has a few more features with plex pass.

    However I switched to jellyfin a few years ago because I found everything to be too limiting and dependent on them. Including the necessity to pay for codecs / playback on some of their mobile apps.

    Jellyfin is a lot less polished, but it works well and you’re in control of everything.

    I would recommend trying out jellyfin first. If you encounter some deal breaking issue or aren’t happy with it, check our plex.


  • Yeah it’s even more ridiculous when you apply this logic to sponsored segments.

    It’s an ad, I skip it by seeking in the video, therefore it is piracy?

    Also, people get arrested and fined for piracy where I live (because it is, well, illegal), so people blocking ads should go to prison?
    When the face of LMG talks about things like this in a main channel video they should look into the consequences of the opinion they present.

    Excuse the language, but what the actual fuck was Linus thinking?

    Like what is the actual end goal here?
    Linus says people should be punished for blocking ads, and the best way he thinks it should be executed is by law enforcement? Last time I checked that is how illegal actions are usually handled.





  • Yeah what the hell is going on?

    There was a lawsuit and in Windows 7 Microsoft was forced to offer a browser choice program that allowed users to pick different ones.

    Nowadays everyone just forgot about that?
    Browser lock in is worse than it ever has been since the 2000s and is approaching levels of monopolistic behavior we haven’t seen since the internet explorer vs Netscape debacle, if not already worse than that.

    Every ecosystem forces their own browser and the only way to circumvent it is with hacks.

    To access certain one drive elements on android in the browser with Firefox, it tells you to open the page in chrome to proceed. If you do that, the Microsoft login page then asks specifically for using edge to sign in.

    It’s insane that nobody cares. I went back to Firefox as soon as manifest v3 was announced, but nobody cares.

    It’s alarming and once people realize what happened it’s too late.


  • That sums it up really well.

    I generally tend to try to use containers for everything and only branch out to VMs if it doesn’t work or I need more separation.

    This is my general recommendation as containers are easier to set up and in my opinion individual software packages are easier to maintain with things like compose. I have limited time for my self hosted instance and that took away a lot of work, especially when updating.
