iTunes is literally the same as streaming though.

You rent access to the content for as long as the platform wants.

DVD/Bluray are the solution to this... except not everything is released like that...

In the end, piracy wins... again... like it always has...

This. Domain whitelist are the worse thing you can do.

Because those C suites do it for their salary, not for the greater good or the good of their investors.

"I disagree with it, so it must be fash"

MQA is literal garbage, so no, Tidal doesn't.

Qobuz and Deezer do however.

I got one 1-2 years ago for ~250€, with a Xeon and 4GB of RAM.

I use it as a "NAS on steroid": basically a NAS-like storage + data processing server (Paperless-NGX, downloader (games I bought on DRM free stores + Usenet), Syncthing middleman...)

It's exactly what I wanted (with the limitation I had) so it's perfect for me (it's still on the 4GB of RAM and I don't need more even with the dozen of container I run).

If the form factor is irrelevant for you, just get the equivalent tower (normal HP Proliant Gen8, or something more recent) for half the price with the same spec, you're paying basically double for the MicroServer form factor.

From a security standpoint, it's irrelevant. Yes the CPU are vulnerable to all the shitty Intel flaws (that Intel thought would never be discovered), but they're all solved via kernel mitigation (that cost you 50% of the performance the CPU originally had)

Be warry of 3 things if you buy it:

  • Finding the cable to use an SSD in the ODD slot is harder than you think (only a single brand make it), it's also harder than you think to configure the raid card to use it (and it sometimes but rarely resets) - this is only relevant if you want to use that slot

  • First 2 sata slots are SATA3, others 2 are SATA2 (and they're not fast), ODD slot is SATA2, I think, I might be wrong

  • The motherboard chipset has a bug: you must disable one of the virtalization option (I don't remember which) if you virtualize / run a RDP docker container, otherwise the system will freeze after 30-1h of running said virtualized stuff in the background (took me days to find the solution, it's not documented anywhere on the internet except for like one place)

I've been using Slide basically since I started using Reddit.

It was the only client that fits all my requirement (it being FOSS and in F-droid being the most important one), while having a non-cluttered UI and a good dark theme.

It has basically been a dead project for 2 years but I never had any reason to move away from it.

Well, now that's I'm quitting Reddit, it's a good way to move away from it.

IodeOS on FairPhone 4.

I'm only running FOSS application on it.

Let's do that in Lemmy instead!

So it's Tor but worse.

Because it's legacy.

People/companies have been expecting printers to die for like 30 years, but they haven't, so only the bare minimum was done to keep them in working order.

Only the industrial-scale one are "OK" because that's the place where they're expected to stay.

The irony in this is massive. It's so weird to see that you are the only one pointing it out.

Absolutely. He also pushed a lot of people over the edge (including me). I know at least 2 people who quit Reddit, and for at least me and one of them, it's permanent.

They definitely are loosing users with this move, even if the subreddits come back.

Because it's proprietary and borderline spyware.

Use ViolentMonkey.

I feel you... the world is a sad place today...

Fair enough I guess. Though them having Twitter at all is still a bit ironic...

If you have even just a bit of fame... you more than likely have a website that show all the way to contact you... so this is a non-issue.

Example, me: https://thefrenchghosty.me/contact/

Sure, because being non violent definitely fixes stuff...

Libre software solve that... but most English native don't want to use it...

No, you chose to.

This is definitely the way to go.

Tidal proprietary lossy codec, that they advertized as lossless.

MicroServers are really quiet (basically silent, the HDD are noisier)

And that's more expensive than a lot of other providers

Doesn't matter.

The US stores to decrypt later

Any provider outside of the 5 eyes

That's not what happened at all.

Forgejo is actually the one in the wrong. It's an hostile fork that exist only because 3 devs were mad that they weren't hired by the company created so that the core devs of Gitea could do it full time.

You're just repeating their lies.

The Forgejo people never "owned" Gitea.

US based provider so eww
