We are, but we’d have to give up a lot.

However, they keep taking more and more. So how long before they take enough that giving up the rest is worth it?

Yeah, we’ve gone as far as we need to in the flashy boom boom section of entertainment. Good characters, good writing, and fun gameplay were always the cornerstones of good movies and video games.

So you can’t be arsed to live up to your own principles?

Mine does that too, and there’s $300 in fees that don’t relate to the actual power used. Using no utilities, I’d still have to pay that much.

But if you had free healthcare, UBI, and your home is paid off, would you really need to save that much?

Only because I don’t have the storage

I had a Barcode Battler. I loved it. Looking back, I guess the fun came from the book that accompanied it along with creating my milk, cereal, or soap themed heroes.

I’m using 2 old laptops for a Jellyfin server. One runs Jellyfin, Sonarr and Radarr. The other runs Jackett and Transmission. I’m looking to add a third to handle Sonarr and Radarr and let the original one do just Jellyfin.

I have no backups except for the ones Jellyfin, Sonarr, and Radarr create 🤷‍♂️

I’ve installed Mint on 2 older MacBooks. All I had to do was plug in to Ethernet and update the drivers to get it working. I have had no problems with either one since.

Thinkpads are super durable and kind of fun. I got a bunch of T420s (nice) from my boss for free and they’re all running Mint fantastically, as well as some 90s games. (They are being used for the occasional LAN party)

The T420 is from around 2011, so if you spent money on one you could get a better one easy.

Ohhh ok yeah that makes sense. Now I’m thinking about if I want to use it… hmm

I knew about the containers, which I’ve been using for a long time now. How is this different?

Why does that matter to you?

The web interface is fantastic. I just use a spare laptop with a wireless keyboard and mouse

It’s also any RPG-like game that lets you summon creatures or undead

No doubt. Why do you need an account on their servers to use a server on your own hardware? So dumb.

After reading this I’m confused about what immutable means

Not if you buy a gift card before you find a game you want

How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.

Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.

Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!

Yeah and I know one of my laptops only has a 250GB drive.

I thought it was a typo at first, but it was explained. I get it now :)
