Yikes. I feel for you man.

Can’t use DNS?

I don’t encode in AV1, I use HEVC. But while your argument is not unreasonable, it misses the component of file size and amount of disk space required.

HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264. While it does require a more modern GPU, it can be run on lower powered Intel CPUs with an integrated GPU just fine, so long as the CPU is new enough. Though it can only handle 2-3 streams on a CPU like the Intel chips in a ZimaBoard. So you need to choose wisely.

This is my preferred solution.

All dependent on the hardware you run the server on. Give it a good GPU and you’re off to the races

OG SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog, the dark one where his family and friends have been roboticized.

You just got out of a shower. If you washed well, what’s it matter?

Hmmm… Not sure if satire. If only there was a hint.

This. It burns too much electricity, wastes too much water and is wrong 70% of the time. Even if its private and offline the problems with it go waaaaay beyond that.

2011, contracting for a web marketing agency I came across a tool they used that aggregated data from Market, Salesforce and data brokers.

You could put someone’s email in, and it would tell you every bit of info they ever filled out on a form for a sale or a freebie.

Name and address were often there, sometimes DoB, sometimes other PID, then there was shopping habits and history etc.

It was creepy as fuck. I dropped Facebook and twitter at the time. And I never filled a form or answered any questions at a till again. Then I started blocking trackers.

Would be awesome to create an offlined ZIM archive with this like they did with FreeCodeCamp so you can use on your local device with Kiwix.

Red Dwarf did this in an Episode as well where the new AI decides he’s not crew and no longer has a subscription to air.

Yep, French’s

This is what CB Radios are, and many more people used to have them before cell phones.

People in mountainous areas where a cell phone is useless still do.

Religion will become popular again and people still start falling for nonsense like ghosts and superstitions. People born after the 80s don’t really remember just how batshit crazy people went for misinformation before we had the internet.

We need a new internet without corporate bullshit and some integrity in terms of knowledge. But seeing what happened to the current one, I don’t think that will be possible until we kill capitalism.

These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.

Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.

Also, consider an OS that isn’t just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.

Luanti (Minetest) folks.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

Fuck Meta.
