  • You think getting a tooth pulled is expensive? Try getting a new one put in.

  • People like what they like. I like to collect and listen to music. It's NOT cool to shit on someone else hobbies and interests just because you don't get it. If you can't understand that, then yes you are being a naive jerk.

  • Containerization is not virtualization, so why would it have any bearing on hardware transcoding?

  • Yeah, this is a question in bad faith from a child to someone that's been curating a collection of music for more than a quarter of a century.

    This isn't even my entire collection, I've got at least a couple orange crates packed with vinyl, CDs, mp3s, concert videos, and even some cassettes for nostalgia. Do I listen to everything I've gotten digitally? Not yet, but I don't plan on stopping my listening any time soon and drive space is cheap, so I figure that I've got time.

    Your "logical timeframe" is both naive and deeply insulting. I'm going to enjoy my library hobby anyway, but you can just fuck off with your negative attitude.

  • The whole highway infrastructure tax structure will need revision as electric vehicles not paying gas taxes become more popular. Or we could just built more public transportation.

  • I wish I could filter Microwave restaurants like this, Applebee's, Chili's, etc. from Google Maps searches.

  • That's what I get for using an online calculator.

    Still I've got almost 40,000 FLAC files of various quality levels with a duration of roughly 2,700 hours taking up only 1.2 terabytes. Still within the same order of magnitude and still plenty of space in 2TB for a collection I've been curating for 25 years. I don't think it's worth my time to suddenly manage a lesser quality copy of each of those just for a portable player.

  • If you think this one's bad, you should check out the other D&D movies. I watched them all in release order once. I was impressed how much worse each subsequent movie could be, until we get to the breath of fresh air that is the most recent film.

  • Making a lower quality copy of a file to save a minimal amount of space is a waste of my time. Besides 2TB is enough space for over 7,000 hours of basic 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC listening.

    Edit: That's what I get for using a random online calculator. Based on the 39,354 FLAC files I have (of various encoding qualities), totalling 1.19516 terabytes and about 9686530 seconds of audio, I can expect a 2TB SD card to fit somewhere around 4,444 hours of FLAC audio. That still seems like enough.

  • Counterpoint: I'm basically the god on my computer, but even I screw up so badly sometimes that it's just easier to hit reset than track down exactly where shit went sideways and unfuck it.

  • As long as you restrict the user of those keys access to an interactive shell and limit access to only the directories rsync needs for backup, it's more like giving the pool boy keys to the pool rather than allowing access to the whole house.

  • WTF is going on with Batman's head? He's got his eyes set wide and low like where sideburns should be. And speaking of that area, it looks like the Dark Knight is dealing with a goiter distending the left side of his cowl. It's not like Liefeld level bad, but I'd have expected better from McFarlane. That's totally a McFarlane physics defying cape there though if I've ever seen one.

  • Who said anything about not responding? There's a wide gulf of scenarios between not investigating a lead and swatting a random address.

  • This (the ethical bit) is the premise of The Good Place.

  • They're not saying that at all. Also, calm the fuck down and mind your manners.

  • If youre running it under your current user, theoretically anything your user can do (which usually means all your personal files)

    That would be poorly configured permissions. There's very little reason you should let any game run under a users own permissions, especially if you got it from a less than reputable source. Proper permissions would give it only enough access to run, nothing more.
