Italian here: one Saturday I start to get lots of downtime notifications

I don’t understand what’s happening, because they come and go, I get hundreds of them

I connect to the server, waste four hours, everything looks ok but pages don’t load? Weird?

I go to sleep without solving the problem

The morning everything looks fine, so I can go to my self hosted news reader and I discover in my feeds that the FUCKING soccer league blocked cloudflare “accidentally”

The best part of our system is that if the block isn’t disputed within a week, then the IP address is permanently banned. Can it be more stupid than that? Do they really think that pirates won’t change their ip address?

We gave the keys of our internet to two litigious copyright trolls

And this exclusively harms honest people because pirates just use a VPN. I saw pirate websites that when accessed from an Italian IP address have some legitimate content, need to access from a VPN. So the block is completely useless

you can install dockge in truenas and then all your docker data is not “locked” inside their application data

my HBA takes 20W at idle

The way he wrote shows he’s more concerned taking down “pirate” versions of compiled files rather than the trouble of supporting windows users

I’ve worked many hours attempting to get these sites to remove the content, and I’ve managed to remove most of them

easy and effective way to dismiss without argument bugfix requests on operating systems the developer doesn’t care to touch

if you ask $60/year to each user to support an operating system, then it’s better to have first-class support with maximum issue priority

This is the most expensive music player app ever commercialized

I tried once to compile sm64 on windows and I took over 1 hour and dozens of gigabyte to download and install all the prerequisites, plus visual studio clutters the start menu with lots of “useless” shit, normal people gonna get pissed

Winget just downloads an installer from the source.

Microsoft doesn’t provide build time or hosting space (except if you’re using GitHub)

Repo only contains URL to download and hash for check

On Windows? Where you need to install visual studio and 10 gb of libraries?

Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required.

What the fuck?

Fuck that, isn’t this just a maintained fork of clementine??

And I tried this player, it’s nothing special

I could understand a permanent nag button like nanazip, but $60/year where most of the hard job (libraries, decoders, base ui) was done by someone else for free?

I’m blacklisting this shit even if I’m a Linux user

The installer applies the patches automatically and I personally didn’t have issues in installing multiple times, plus in this way you can easily uninstall a single app or upgrade a single one

Yes, get them separately

If you are on Linux the best option is to run this:

https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Basically a small “virtual machine” that assures that the torrent traffic always passes through the VPN. No VPN=no traffic

Paying for using a model hosted on someone else’s computer is technically prostitution 😛

At least with self hosting if you really like that model you don’t risk that tomorrow the ai Bros change the backend with a different model (gpt5) or raise prices

scale, they got rid of the kvm emulator in the last release and i was devastated to see all my VM gone. The “migration” consists in you migrate the disk image to the new directory, then you make a new VM… IF you knew that BEFORE the update and took note of all the settings because the old VM menu is gone!

but also it’s clear than core is on life support

Exactly, for example I missed the note that updating truenas to the latest version disables and hides all the virtual machines (theoretically they can get migrated to the new engine but it gave me some weird error. Luckily truenas can be downgraded easily.)

Now, 3 months after the First release of the update, those virtual machines aren’t disabled and hidden anymore

And the bribe is so cheap compared to what the company would had to pay

Examples:

Boeing, just needed to donate $1 mil and let the CEO travel with an idiot to help the Qatari royal family dump their white elephant that was actually a money pit

Nvidia, just needed to book a $1 mil dinner at mar a Lago to lift their export ban and start printing billions

All the crypto bros,

And so on

It’s basically a no-brainer move, a 1000x return on investment

why not a blister like the rest of the world?

Old free images won’t be removed but since they won’t get any kind of update, are essentially useless

And this is because it works. Horny men see the minuscule thumbnail: “OMG it’s a hot woman!”, then click it, see the link in the profile, and get scammed.

This is by definition “we are just assholes”

Someone play for 5 minutes with a mig switch a legit dump of their own, legally purchased game, just for convenience, to have multiple games on the same cart? The console is now almost useless. You can’t play any digital games that you purchased with real money, and physical games can’t get any update. Game requires a 20gb day one patch to be playable? Though luck buddy, go to buy a new console!

They stole your console? Oh no! Yes, we absolutely could do the same, as it’s bound to your Nintendo account and we could add a button “report as stolen and ban it from internet” in your profile. But we won’t, go to buy a new console!
