If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn’t a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of “feature parity” with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.

Manjaro might be good, but you’ll have to adjust the vacuum’s clock every time you want to clean

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There’s a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a “Something went wrong” page

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

STOP I can’t afford to know this stuff exists right now!

I have also come across Windscribe, which seems reasonably well respected. Sadly, they make you pay extra for a static IP and port forwarding.

AirVPN has a lot of people complaining about connection speed.

Options are drying up 😢

Also curious. I left Mullvad because they stopped supporting port forwarding. Proton seemed like the best second option privacy/feature/price wise at the time. IVPN was touted highly around that time, but it appears they have also phased out port forwarding

I disagree with this as a default, but think it might be a good idea as something users could toggle.

You’re sick, he’s sick, we’re all sick! SICK!

Yeah, I suppose that may be it. Thanks for the insight.

Am I missing something? Nothing in the ML thread you were in reads remotely close to flaming to me.

Debian has all the updated packages one needs for gaming just as well as the other distros.

Yes and no, but I agree with the overall sentiment. Debian is entirely fine for gaming.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what “shit hardware” is

My two suggestions are forcing a different proton version (you mention this, so im guessing you already have) and ensuring you have a 32bit opengl driver installed(package names will differ between distributions. Arch wiki has some info)

For troubleshooting, launch steam from a terminal and watch for errors on game launch/close

Tim Corey on YouTube has excellent beginner C# material. I would start there.

I feel like that can’t be true, but I have nothing to disprove it

Better?

Are you sure they aren’t overused? 😉
