  • I switch from uTorrent to qBittorrent when Ninite dropped it. I wasn't aware that uTorrent had become aware, and Ninite had my back. I trust those guys with the selection of softwares they offer.

  • ShadowRun: Dragonfall

    Its an isometric tactics style game that plays like the tabletop RPG it is designed around. It's a lot of reading, so if you're not into that stay away, but man... I remember when I beat it I was like "Fuck... Did I fuck up? I think I may have made some wrong decisions. I feel awful now"

    I also love the setting it takes place in. For some reason fantasy always takes place in the past. Medieval elves, and dwarves, and Orcs etc. ShadowRun is a dystopian/cyberpunk future where all of these races exist. As if the fantasy world didn't stop existing after the medieval era.

  • A lot of people in here acting like the patient was the one that got to decide what kind of drugs they were getting. I had covid very very early on, and I was hospitalized. They had me on hydroxychloroquine. The doctors and nurses didn't know what the fuck was going on, they were trying everything they could hoping that something would work. I was basically a test subject because it was so early on. It looks like it didn't kill me, which is great, but at no point did I ask to be put on it.

  • Real Player.

    Nobody had enough bandwidth to actually stream anything. I guess some people had IDSN, and maybe even fewer cable internet, but the majority of the world was still on dial up. You can't stream video on dial up.

  • I worked my way up in IT from the help desk all the way up to a Senior Systems Engineer with no degree, certificate, etc. It was all self taught through YouTube and by learning on the job. My first help desk position I was able to get because I "was good with computers".

    I was able to move up through the industry by getting an entry job, learning on the job and asking for more to do and learning new things until I felt I plateaued, then used LinkedIn to talk to recruiters and got my next job which was more advanced stuff I had never done but felt capable of doing - did a lot of learning on the job, lots of Google and YouTube, asked for more to do and learned new things until I got a promotion, got good at the next position until I plateaued, and then back to LinkedIn for more talking with recruiters. Rinse and repeat...

    It's been a long journey, but I've seen people start with less experience succeed just as well.

  • Ahhh... Looks like that guide is for the Intel versions of the Terra masters only, and minimum required 2gb ram. I have one with an Arm chip and only 1gb. 😔

    I'm getting a bonus in February, so I think I might build a micro ITX system with more modern parts. This will help with transcoding as well.

  • Could you point me in the direction of some tutorials/videos/whatever of the media setup you have? I have a NAS that I use to stream movies through Plex, but it's still very manual (use my PC, connect to VPN, download movie, upload to NAS, watch on TV). I would love to have something that automates it more but I have no idea where to start. I keep reading on Lemmy about people having setups like this and I'm jealous.

    It should be noted that my NAS is a Terra Master F4-210 and I'm not sure how capable it will be of doing this kind of thing. It runs some weird proprietary Linux distro call TOS. Not sure if i can even flash it with a different distro.

  • Do you count the prologue level in Mega Man X as a tutorial? Because whenever I go back to beat that game, I have no problem playing that level again. It takes like 3 minutes and it gets your jumping and shooting fingers all warmed up.
