Bit late with the reply here but I have a Moto Edge 30 neo and the size is great for me.

People I work with can't comprehend that I don't want a TV in my pocket for messaging my wife.

The other alternative is "Accept All" or "Decline each one Individually by clicking three buttons to confirm your choice"

250GB - cache
1TB - Pool
2TB - Pool
10TB - Parity

With only 3TB in the pool you're going to be increasing the size of the pool potentially quite quickly depending on if you're ripping DVDs or Blu-Rays to it.

You'll soon need another drive to boost that pool size and I promise, that parity will keep those tears at bay if something happens.

I'm about to pile into my 50th and older games for me can be emulated on a pocket watch 😂

I love my late 80s early nineties schmups so I play on my son's deck through retrodeck when he's asleep.

That and taxi offices. They were my local go to when I couldn't get to the beach to go to the arcades.

Love these write ups. I lived through the platform wars fighting on the side of Light (Spectrum) against the hordes of darkness (C64) and the one grey teary Amstrad user.

Loved Bomb Jack, it's a great game and I think it's going into the curriculum for the kids next week to show them a great game with a simple game dynamic compared to them playing tosh on Roblox all of the time.

I remember playing the arcade on a ferry to France as part of a school trip. Best part of the trip was this cab.

Thanks for the memories.

Depending on how far you got, you might not understand it anyway.

Similar issue here, full fibre roll out is estimated to be complete in 2025.

I'm just outside Newcastle on the coast and could get Virgin but my neighbours have had a nightmare with it.

They only rolled out their fibre about three months ago so there might be issues with that

Where the hell in the UK are you? I'm in the North and pay £26 for 60mbps but get more like 70 due to how close I am to the street cabinet though I haven't even got copper cable here, just crappy aluminium that is so old I think Alexander Graham Bell himself fitted them.

I usually scan my media with Media Elch before I move it into Kodi/Jellyfin then I know the files and folders have the right names and all Metadata is correct.

TV shows are grabbed, named and tidied with pyMedusa.

I use Kodi on a RaspberryPi with the Jellyfin add-on so if I watch something remotely then the watched status is synced everywhere.

If you're using Windows then Foobar 2000 is great. I use it for manually managing and tidying my collection in addition to converting pretty much any format to any other format.

That being said, you can install it as a snap in Linux as well if that's your poison.

And base model still unavailable in the UK.

If I was just buying for myself I could live with the mid range price point. But for four kids that's a lot of money to shell out.

I've got a better chance of buying buying crocodile tears or hens teeth.

And shouldn't be so tall that you need a winch to get over them without trashing the bottom of your car like the new ones near to where I live.

Also using Jellyfin and it's great.

Regarding the number of different clients, yes they have less than Plex but remember Jellyfin is a free product and is a considerably younger project so more clients will come in time.

I run a Jellyfin add-on with my Kodi setup and it runs great and streams to three of my mother's LG TVs, one uses a web client as the official client hadn't been signed off by LG, another uses the official client (LG run multiple versions of their WebOS) and the third runs the official client on fire stick from the Amazon app store.

Absolutely second Unraid, easy to set up, Parity drive gives you protection against drive failure and dockers are an immense bonus. I have Jellyfish as a docker to serve my media around my home or when I'm out and about. Can use Gelli on Android just to listen to the music on my server.

Other plus, Unraid is essentially a JBOD so you can increase its size when ever you need to.

Think I paid £60-70 about 8-9 years ago and it's been worth every penny.

Can't praise it enough.

I haven't tried Connect either :-)

Really enjoying Liftoff though and would certainly suggest giving it a go.

Bit late to this party but R-Type was one of favourites at the arcades and back when ther were so many outstanding games.

I occasionally get my kids to try them and despite the fact the controls are so much easier they can't play them, the games are too hard!!!

I feel the same way about their games or at least the controls, I feel like I need to learn to be a court stenographer to use the controls using multiple combos to do something. Pah I say!

Sorry about that, following so many communities at first after joining Lemmy good stuff dropped off the bottom. Unsubscribed to a few so I can catch what I need.

I'll look up that R-Type post, I spent a fortune on that cab as a bairn I should have shares in Irem.

If you can buy one then do it. I'm in the UK and I've been trying to get one for months.

I'm sure they pop up from time to time but I can't spend every waking moment refreshing the page to grab one.

Fingers crossed one pops up soon though.

I grew up on Sinclair machines and yeah the graphics looked like a ceefax page that had died a horrific death but the gameplay was generally great.

Other classic conversions that actually looked pretty good despite the Spectrum limitations and played great were Karnov and R-Type.
