The fact that it’s an option that even remotely works is my point. They sell hardware. They don’t support software. The community does that. There is something to be gained from having a uniform platform for learning self hosting responsibly.

A Raspberry pi isn’t particularly great at any one thing. It’s greatest strength comes in bundling everything you need in a box at an affordable price. Once you know where your pain points are then you can build/design a system that overcomes those shortcomings.

Having a starter kit would be an easy way to get more people in the space. Would it cost $35 of course not. Level1Techs made their KVM to meet their own requirements and then the community benefits. To me, this project has that kind of energy. Or at least the potential for it.

Raspberry pi was able to do it with $35.

Read the nfo file for directions. Open it with a text editor. You probably missed a step.

We also might be able to fill in some gaps in the internet archive that way someday.

I don’t think we will have the internet archive long enough to find out

I mean yes but that’s like saying Bitcoin is used by criminals to buy drugs and weapons. The problem is that’s not their only use.

Backing up data is just as important as restoring it. Good luck getting the NSAs copy.

+1 for yt-dlp

jdownloader2 also works for this

You say that’s the best we can do.
No. It isn’t.
That’s the bare minimum and I don’t think we will get even that much.

Over the years I have heard stories where Valve closes an account after the owners passing. This is usually because the poster said they had trouble with something and explained that the original owner passed. Valve then responds by closing the account and ignoring the issue.

With that said I don’t think large groups of people can effectively share a library/account because only one person can play at a time. Small groups like spouses, parents, siblings or a small friend group is doable because it is easier to coordinate who is gonna use the account at any given time. This is especially true if they live together.

With the Deck, I have issues where I boot up a game on my living room PC and my Deck closes it’s game making me lose progress on the Deck. Imagine that multiplied 20x. Getting kicked mid match, losing that boss fight, lose your high score, getting left on cliffhanger mid cutscene. The throw your controller rage stuff.

Yes, happens all the time on gog. They don’t have the same library of games but there is an overlap.

Better options have already been mentioned. With that said another option might be torrenting.

Leopards, am I right

Automation

You found your way here. Just wait until it happens. Alternately maybe follow Fedoras release notes

Not according to this bill but if it passes then I’m sure we can have that conversation then.

Highly unlikely but if everything happens before the election can he just get the properties back if he gets elected again?

“Not like that”

Rolling out, yes. Everyone that is already covered in one of their locations doesn’t lose service because they’re no longer expanding to new neighborhoods. Likewise, moving into one of those neighborhoods makes you a potential customer.

Watching it unfold in real time truly is boring. Intentionally. Is this how World War II started? Boring and slow.

$87 for grocery used to get you gourmet organic foods. In 2024 you get uncrustables. I hate this timeline.
