Running Jellyfin off of a VPS provider seems needlessly expensive. I guess server hardware has an upfront cost, but having real hardware to host it on at home will be far more cost effective long term, especially for storage.
Mine always have the ReplyTo field set to the email of the senior security analyst, so I always say hi and tell them that maybe the higher ups need some training on how to not send sketchy as fuck emails that train people to click on phishing links.
I feel like if you don’t know any different assembly will look like any other programming language. Just a bunch of words on lines that you don’t understand.
I don’t think an arena shooter necessarily has to be multiplayer (but they’re mostly only fun when they are)… but it heavily implies that the maps are… arenas. Smaller areas that you backtrack through constantly with no “end”. Matches probably end by a condition like a timer or kill count or something. That said, I think we use “arena shooter” to distinguish games like Quake 3 from CoD (with some differences like weapons being on the map and players spawning with the same barebones kit)… but arguably CoD isn’t that far removed from something like Quake 3 (which I know is heresy and they play very differently, but the fundamentals aren’t so different).
Okay I know what you mean, but… Technically you could even consider text to be polygons. Or anything on your display could be considered to be made of single pixel polygons.
Like, you could argue that a sprite based game doesn’t have any polygons because it’s just blitting sprites onto the screen, but a sprite is kinda just a textured rectangle, which is a polygon. Rendering a sprite isn’t all that different than rasterizing a more general polygon either, it’s sort of just a special case where the math is really easy. I’m just being a pedant, though. I blame math class.
I don’t know what you’re considering to be a boomer game, though. Maybe you just mean hoop and stick doesn’t have polygons.
I mean… I wouldn’t really say Doom or Duke Nukem or whatever were arena shooters, though? Something like Quake 3 certainly is, but I feel like anything that vaguely has a map that you progress through instead of having a round of a fixed length / kill count in a smaller space doesn’t scream “arena shooter” to me.
Ooof, I dunno… You can probably get by with cheap headphones, but they’re probably one of the objects you’ll spend the most time with and a good set can really make a difference. Good noise cancelling is essentially a requirement for me to live.
Eh. It can kind of cause a lot of problems in the workplace, and not just for the people dating… Especially if somebody is the type to get jealous if you have to work with their partner on something, which is sadly not uncommon. If you’re mature and can deal with it… fine. But, frankly, there’s plenty of fish in the sea and it’s probably better to date outside of work (or at least your team) for everybody.
Death Stranding is one of my favourite games, but it’s definitely not for everybody… I’d recommend giving it another go at some point, but don’t expect it to change too dramatically.
XCOM games all kind of have a problem where you can really screw yourself long term with a bad mission or by researching sub optimally. It’s kiiiiind of awesome because it raises the stakes of the game… But I don’t want to restart and play another 40 hours or whatever T_T.
Yeah, that’s my main concern. I believe the Immich developers have said they have no desire to implement it, though… Which is fair enough, it doesn’t work for my desired use case though.
I want all data to be encrypted before it even reaches the server. Yes, I don’t want to trust even my own server for my image backups :), particularly since I would want to use something like Immich to provide photo backups for friends and family and I don’t even want to technically have access to their unencrypted photos unless they explicitly share them. I kind of want the attack surface for my photos to be as small as practical too. It’s almost certainly worse to have them available on my device unencrypted than a dedicated server, but it’s worse to have them unencrypted on both (and I want photos available on device so, thems the breaks).
I get that a lot of people won’t care about this and that they’d rather be able to run the image recognition features of Immich on the server and stuff, but I don’t think it’s entirely unreasonable to want encryption for this. If nothing else I’d love to be able to back up photos for friends and family and legitimately be able to tell them that it’s encrypted and I can’t see any of it. It’d be even sweeter if they could do image recognition on device and sync that metadata (encrypted) to the server as well.
