Pinning your versions just means updating will be a pain, and you’ll probably start running outdated containers that are security risks.

It’s not like you’re doing code audits every updates anyway. Just use containers that are established and seem trustworthy. It’s all you can really do.

I live literally a dozen miles from a launch pad 🫠

My apartment windows rattle from them

You’re good, but Sony recently announced that going forward their TVs will be made by TCL. It’ll still be branded Sony but it’s not, really.

Netcup was okay for me. I used to have one of their ARM VPSs

No. The strength of Torrenting is that a bunch of slow connections can combine into one fast download.

Because to get the serialized part, you still have to be approved for the purchase through background checks

Unless you get it secondhand. Then you just kinda… Skip all that. Legally.

It’s existence alone didn’t bother me, but the day I went to install something with APT and it force installed the Snap was the last day I ever used Ubuntu.

Snap - fuck you

Unnatural. Should be illegal.

They, like DVDs, have a lifespan of ~20 years but can last a lot longer if kept in a cool and dry spot.

But also you can rip the discs and store them digitally on hard drives or whatever :)

Blurays are better quality than streaming.

4K Bluray is the highest quality you’ll ever get in your home by like, a lot.

Streaming is a regression.

Yep. In my country 3G is shutdown. Without 4G and VoLTE you cannot make calls.

It’s default installers aren’t as newbie friendly IMO. And the defaults/theming are a bit bland out of the box.

Some drama on their licensing situation:

I mean that’s vague.

I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.

Depends on the screen size and distance.

And piracy gets them from Bluray.

Now that that’s dying I’m afraid we’re gonna be stuck with streaming bitrates.

There’s barely any actual 4K content you can consume

I feel like that’s not true. But you’ve gotta try. If you’re streaming it, chances are it’s not really any better. 4K Bluray (or rips of them…) though? Yeah it’s good. And since film actually has 8K+ resolution old movies can be rescanned into high resolution if the original film exists.

Supposedly Sony Pictures Core is one streaming service that can push nearly 4K Bluray bitrates… but you’ve gotta have really good internet. Like pulling 50-80GB in the span of a movie runtime.

I feel like on monitors because you’re fairly close getting at least 2k is good. Depending on size even 4k makes sense.

Small text on large 1080p monitors looks… Not great.

For gaming though absolutely

Nah. On larger screens it’s good to have
