Sequel yes, more DLC for the first one, no.

And this is why I don't have ANY moral qualms about pirating shit: they'd do it to us in a heartbeat if there was a buck to be made.

Yeah, they're all a single-level deep. Multi-disc albums are also the same: artist - album/1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, etc.

No more food, but here's half a pound of cricket flour. Meets all your daily nutritional needs!

Interesting, I haven't had any of those issues with tagged media. I use beets for the tagging and sorting, and it's been otherwise fine? I do \music\artist - album for the directory paths, though, so it's already happily sorted and grouped correctly on the filesystem in a way that jellyfin seems to like.

I mean, duh? Influencers only get paid if they do and say what the sponsor paying them wants them to do and say. You can, of course, NOT do that, but you won't get a 2nd check, so the whole job requires you play along with your bosses and do what they want.

There's not a single really trustworthy influencer type out there that takes sponsor money, and you shouldn't trust ANY of them to do anything other than what they have to do so they get paid.

So, I posted this on a similar thread a few days ago, but plex and/or jellyfin do an amazing job of user/library seperation, music streaming, AND have apps for every relevant platform you'd remotely care about: phones, computers, browsers, widgets plugged into your tv, etc.

It's a little odd nobody has bothered to do a really good multi user/library audio-only app, but plex+plexamp or jellyfin+finamp is a pretty great solution as it is.

So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.

Okay sure, but how about we just... don't do any of that?

Since when has a cat needed permission to go wherever it wants?

I've saved tons of money by only not playing games I get for free. Much more affordable that way.

I'm now imagining David Caruso sitting there at his desk licking hard drives. Thanks a lot.

Honestly, this should be actually illegal. It's a fraudulent job posting designed to waste my limited time, but it's okay for these companies to do shit like this because of uh, reasons?

I mean I'm not blaming anyone other than the manufacturers who make things and then arbitrarily decide to stop supporting them while they're still perfectly usable, leaving basically no choice other than trashing and buying a new one.

Just a side note, Commento is kinda dead on the self-hosting front at least as it's been years since an update, which is probably not great for a public service.

However, Comentario is a updated fork that's being maintained.

I mean you can escape it by just not using google's shit.

I know it's not an option for everyone, but you can use email that's not gmail, and online office suites and file sharing that's not google docs and drive.

(I went with mxroute for email, and a nextcloud with embedded only office for the docs/drive replacement.)

If you want a mostly straightforward WordPress-alike that's not WordPress, you probably should at least consider Ghost. I'm using it for my blog and it's got a slightly weird focus on "paid blog members", but it's super solid and doesn't have a multi-decade history of endless security problems.

And, soon, it'll be a happy member of the Fediverse.

As someone who isn't a fan of e-waste, I really hate these little "appliance" type NASes. Companies abandon them while they're still perfectly usable and meeting someone's needs, and tell you oh sorry, I guess you should buy a new one and throw your current one away. (Which, annoyingly, the article also does.)

Heh, you're not kidding. Their website barely actually loads, and I gave up trying to see who they were using as a datacenter because each page load was taking north of 60 seconds, so uh, that tells me everything I could possibly need to know about their service.

So wait, they've gone from getting wet and having the bumpers fall off to getting wet and then instantly crashing?

I'm not sure that's an actual improvement.

There's stuff for sale like that on the ARM side, but you'll pay out the nose for it, as it's all enterprise-y server-y stuff. For example, you can buy Ampere chips and boards that have ram slots and pci-e slots and all that jazz, but it costs way too much to make any sort of sense at the consumer level.

But yeah, on the consumer side we're never going to get modifiable and upgradable systems from the current crop of SOC vendors, and, worse, the x86 duopoly looks to want to head down the integrated RAM and non-upgradable path too :(
