On a side note I bought 5x4TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives in 2018.

They were cheaper then, than now.

Absolutely hate any game that's long for the sake of being long. Take AC Valhalla. Halve that game, turn it into a less open/less grindy game, a narrative mode if you will. It would be soo much better. I don't want to spend hours hacking the same enemy, riding the same horse or travelling. So boring.

There are soooo many games to play, I don't want to be wasting my time. Insert Hogwarts, God of War, RDR2 etc

Not bad practice just not as secure.

You can't beat the security of not exposing it but sometimes you need to so then you need to mitigate it with certs, reverse proxy or VPN.

It depends on what you need and what your thread model is.

What is this table? The last column makes no sense and the second to last column moves from currency to percentages?

This is a bit open ended depending on type of film, screen watching it on, codec etc.

Personally if I'm watching on my 65inch OLED. I can be happy with 30mbps HEVC. However if it's a cartoon style then 15mbps is fine. On the other hand if it's a dark film, then I absolutely want the 4k bluray rip, compression in dark areas on an oled can be really noticeable.

I do however have a gigabit connection and buckets of storage so I tend to just get the highest bitrate I can.

Can we just leave that mountain alone?

Stop making new things, add this into keep ffs.

Similar with android. I had a pixel 5 and loved it, the pixel 6 pro came out and I was dragged in (higher res screen, 120hz etc etc). Then the pixel 7 pro came out and I bought that too (mainly for signal improvements).

Looking back, my pixel 5 did/does everything these do. I've decided my next upgrades will be whenever the below happens:

  • Phone broken
  • No more updates
  • Feature I need, and I mean need (it would be hard for a phone to come out to do this)

I don't need some random AI features/camera improvments. 99% of my phone use is podcasts, browsing the internet and any phone from the last 5 years will do that nicely still.

Here's a list of my useful ones that I didn't see used in this thread.

  • Seal - this is a YouTube downloader. I love this for extracting audio from videos to listen as a podcast, quick and easy.
  • URLCheck - this when set as a default browser will intercept links to remove trackers, check them against known phishing links, redirect links etc etc. Probably my favourite app!
  • Transistor - radio app, just simple and works can't beat it.
  • Birday - birthday manager so you can check and see who's birthdays are coming up.
  • Tasks.org - I love this task manager, took a bit of setting up how I like but it works great. Ticktick became really bloated and sluggish so I switched.

No? Why would you?

Depending on the type of chicken I follow a few methods.

  • Wings/legs/thighs - BBQ as hot as possible with an indirect zone, cook for 20m or so until cooked. (Bonus if you have a Weber and a vortex).
  • Breast I usually cook direct until the outside is adequately coloured, then put it indirect until it's 70-72c then when I take it off let it carry over to 74c. Every C you go over with breast = dryyy

How much bandwidth/resource do you need? If you had a 4core nas, running unraid and a gigabit connection for example

Could you set this up and nearly forget about it?

Galaxy s5 was only 0.3mm thicker than an iPhone 14.

Ip67 and replaceable battery

Insert Google blog post of amazing new feature.

*US only

Easily the best option, works so well and you can still use your own VPN as and when required.

I have my own domain hosted on proton. Followed all the guides and my emails are still nearly always routed to spam...

Yeah the hardest thing is finding them! You open the store and it gives you almost no information as to whether the games decent or a cash in. The review system seems rigged.

Sorry I wasn't questioning you, was just genuinely curious and it got me thinking.

Could somebody set an instance up on a nes or home server, forget about it and it becomes completely rogue? At what point would any instance defederate if they never updated too?

Oh I know that! Just what kind of resource is required and how is it protected as a fediverse.

I'm a 17 year old bored teenager. I setup a server on my mums nas, then go to college and completely forget to admin it. What happens? Could it keep growing?

I tend to keep my library at 1080p for plex (remote users). Then have a seperate library for 4k films. I then download 4K films only as and when i'll watch them and purge them when I wont watch again (Can always re-download)

Aslong as it hides posts that are old from a less active community.

I don't need a 14day old post popping up on the front page all the time

But bigger number

Even better if it's a ghost shit too. Straight round the u bend.

Wonder if I ever even shit

Seems like a decent phone! Anyone with the NP1, how were the updates?

The users like it more.

Hard to have a stance on this personally. On one hand I'd rather they're not used on the other hand whatever helps Ukraine win this war the quickest.

Holy crap! Thanks for the website, it's great.

Death by poos

By far for me it's the Dan Carlin's hardcore history podcast but more specifically "The blueprint for Armageddon".

Absolutely incredible

I doubt apple will make a french SKU that's different to the GB SKU. The NA market is big enough to get it's own SKU though (see sim card slot)

Mostly on my phone via Seal these days...

Tarkov. They shit sucked me dry. 1500

I've been emulating an app in my laptop using WSA and it definitely kicks the cpu into gear

What's the lowdown and what the treats from meta and thread are?

Quick Q here.

  • I absolutely love the design but there's noway i'd not use a case with a phone and then I feel like it loses lots of it's charm. Does it come with a clear case in the box?
  • Would you pick it over a Pixel 7? The Pixel 7 is cheaper, they have stiff competition here.

Drop a link then? Let's have a view.

Any gaming news that aren't just going to fill my feed with crap?

What's worse is I can't use a fucking mobile site...

Feeder on android. Simple open source and does device sync.

Recently stopped using feedly.

I'm grandfathered into pocketcasts+ so it's free.

I use the app for hours everyday and if it wasn't free I'd be on another app...
