I'll just hope it accepts an environment variable for user/group ID because on my server 1000 is not the appropriate user to have permissions to these files. Will find out next time I give it a try.

I was hoping it would be fixing my having to manually add games to steam after manually copying the files over to a PC and have a nice catalogue for them. But it just seems like it generates more work than it saves.

I really liked the concept of this and had high expectation, but I just tried this out following their documentation and not a fan so I'll have to pass / find a better alternative if one exists.

The docker-compose.yml given seems to cause the containers to be lacking permissions to save images and even the DB: logs show images can't be created/saved, restarting the container wipes the DB. No files created at all on the mounted volumes paths. The volume for game files works great though so that's confusing. I can probably troubleshoot that but this is the first container I've ever had such an issue with so I won't bother particularly due to the next points:

On the app itself I was pretty disappointed that it doesn't at the very least extract the files for you, and won't even skip all the manual junk for direct play games that I took the time to name properly with (DP) on the archive files. The reason given is there may be too many manual steps/variations for installation but direct plays don't need any of that.

Given the manual steps required I'll stick to copy/pasting the files off my server to my local games folder, the games themselves being added to steam if I really need to go that far with them.

That's one way to kill the WWW.

Those features make sense for people who mostly use mobile, however the price increases make it a lot less appealing even then. At some point people will realize they are paying more to play a video in the background or without ads than for netflix/disney or whatever people like these days.

I've yet to be made aware of any benefits at all. None of what you get from premium is either interesting or relevant.

Sometimes I pirate something that is so terrible that I still feel I'm owed compensation for the time I wasted watching it and the bandwidth I used to download it.

undefined> It included a helpful family tree leaflet.

You'd think in some instances the family tree would look more like a wreath though.

For manga the server is komga, and i use tachiyomi to connect to it to read. Komga does its own tracking, and I also added MAL as a tracking in tachiyomi itself.

For anime (and everything I watch, also movies/tv etc) I use jellyfin. It keeps track of everything you watched. So if I finish season 1 of something and a year later season 2 releases, once I have the first episode of season 2 it'll pop up on my list of things to watch. There's been series I forgot about until this happened.

I host my own personal manga server that I use tachiyomi on my tablet to read from it with. The server itself does tracking, but I also plugged tachiyomi into MAL, so I have 2 lists acting as a backup of each other.

For anime I just let my media server track it, keeps track of every season/episode play status. When a new season of something starts it pops up ready to be watched.

You mean that documentary "The Last of Us"?

For the longest time tipping was very stable and nobody said much but with the covid-inspired tipping greed hopefully you're right. If enough people get pissed off maybe something will happen for tipping to be eliminated. I personally haven't sat down in a restaurant since the end of 2019, haven't done a food delivery since 2021, and that won't change until tipping is gone.

My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

Things I do host

• media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
• stable diffusion image generation server
• games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
• lemmy
• comics/manga server (komga)
• yt-dl web interface
