This is the way. The only no-bullshit media platform is the one on your hard drive.

I used to pirate games because I couldn't buy them. Now I pirate games because the publishers are greedy cunts who do layoffs to appease shareholders, shutter studios that make good games, and pull all the shit Sony's pulling this year 🖕

I know there's still a long way to go but maybe the future won't be as completely horrofying as I thought. Fuck the facists and fuck the nazis, well done France!

Yup, that tracks. I think it was a total of about $150 for me starting Y3 and up to the beginning of Y4. When D2 is good, it's REALLY good, and nothing quite compares to grinding that game with a bunch of friends who are also super into it.

My friends I used to play with I actually met in-game when I was F2P. I couldn't buy the DLCs myself at the time so they just bought me the DLCs (which I still think is wild and I'm unbelievably grateful for). But the content got stale as hell at around Y4 and they stopped playing for the better part of a year. By the time they were back, they still didn't wanna do most of the content and I was getting burnt out on the power grind every season. Raids became more about the loot, less about having fun. Eventually we all kinda fell off it. By the time I could pay for it myself, only some of them were playing sporadically, and the monetization kept getting more and more insane (like fuck Bungie for thinking dungeon keys were a good idea).

I really miss those days though and I'd pay in a heartbeat if it meant playing like we used to.

The good main stories are Forsaken (can't play this anymore afaik), The Witch Queen (may be worth it), and The Final Shape (from what I hear, no context on this one). There's also some good stories in specific seasons but I don't know how they're handling older seasons and whether or not you can still play them. Back when I was actively playing they were cycling them out every year.

A lot of the value in these is the endgame content though. Unless you're interested in the loot game, lost sectors, exotic missions and/or plan on getting a group together for dungeons and raids, I don't think it's worth it. If all you care about is the story, I think you can get much better stories elsewhere.

That sounds about right. It''s easy to spend ridiculous amounts of time playing during a good annual expansion or particularly good season, especially if you've got a clan that plays and raids regularly and/or you use the LFG discord. I used to be the same way, 40-50hrs a week at my peak. But I was in college, I don't know if I'd have the energy for that and a full time job now.

I put 1.2k hours into it during lockdown. Not enjoying Destiny 2 is probably the best thing that's ever happened to your wallet tbh

This was so god damn good!

Ariamis or Ariandel?

Have you tried fzf and it's history integration? Ctrl+R and youre fuzzy finding through your history. I don't know how I lives without it

Oh boy, my time to shine:

• mkd - Create directory and immediately cd into it
• dei - docker exec -i
• dps - docker ps
• mdocker - Switch to minikube's docker context
• n - nvim
• n. - nvim .

Node package managers

Exampes use pnpm but I have them for yarn, npm, and bun too

• pi - pnpm install
• pd - pnpm run dev

fzf stuff

• sdh - Search home directory (directories, recursive)

Meme

• fuckyou - git push --force
• nano - nvim

Misc

createpgdb - Create a postgres db on the given container with the given name

Usage: createpgdb "postgres container" "db name"

I have similar ones for dropdb and pg_dump. Here's the command:

 sh

    
f() { local __user; if [ -z $3 ]; then __user=postgres; else __user=$3; fi; docker exec -i $1 createdb -U $__user $2; unset -f f; }; f'

  

I'm no cryptography expert but I don't see how they could implement this with true anonymity or without it being spoofed in other browsers. There is currently no way to know with absolute certainty what browser/client web traffic is actually coming from and game anti-cheat devs will probably tell you it's a nightmare of a problem.

The way I see this working is making it a Mozilla account thing and not a Firefox thing through some sort of stateless cross-origin cookie the sites agree to support. But then, you're giving up at least some privacy because even if the sites you visit don't know who you are, you'll still have to trust that Mozilla is logging anonymized visit counts and that some CEO 5 years from now isn't going to change that for a quick buck.

Maybe I'm just out of my depth here and someone's gonna correct me (please do if I'm wrong).

Those are the exact words my first boss used when on my first day, I asked if I could use linux mint instead haha. That's pretty spot on.

For good reason too, it has waaaay more support for your basic workplace apps than anything else (not that other things don't but it's easier to find a .deb than a .rpm)

A "Ubuntu LTS" option would be great here, yeah. It'd be next to impossible to support every distro and I get the feeling linux users who have distro preferences are also the type who would prefer to do it themselves.

Source: Me I guess. I'd rather setup Fedora myself

The season 1 intro is so god damn pitch perfect I think it makes what is an incredible season of television seem like crap by comparison.

Hyperboly obviously, the show's amazing

This PR/meme is my spirit animal

I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.

I should migrate to ansible like u/djehuti@programming.dev but time :(

Fair enough, just saw the "if you're not an IT worker" comment haha

Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.

I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin's fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.

FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there's also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU

Oh come on, it's better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying "for you" and adding nothing else to the conversation.

Seriously I'm sure they'd love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn't pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.
