You don't even have to download the whole thing. Anything downloaded will be shared with other downloaders.

Imagine how slow these would be

This is why it annoys me every time someone brings up that SMS/iMessage is a US only problem. Whilst this may be true, for a lot of us WhatsApp is no different. Particularly now that Meta owns WhatsApp.

I stick to 264 for the same reason. I'm happy running Plex from my Pi4. Multiple streams are fine to devices around the home.

Also streams fine on my phone when external.

I don't think the 5 has any hardware for encoding

Not all games just work. For sure though Proton is absolutely amazing. The only thing stopping me ditching Windows completely is my kid still plays Roblox which doesn't work on Linux.

I have a Pi4 that runs a couple of services to run in the house. Even this still needs regular OS patching, updated images pulling, troubleshooting etc.
I ran my own mail server many years ago but I can't reliably do one anymore. Besides, death can happen at any point and I'd hate to leave my family with email mailboxes that are just gonna stop one day from something breaking or a domain not being renewed.

Which is fine. But self hosting has multiple complexities. It's not just a case of installing and configuring a mail server. Maintenance, security, electric costs etc just add up.

I'd sooner have working emails and leave all the management to the provider.

I got the PS4 Pro when it came out. There were so many PS4 games at that point that I hadn't played. All so cheap too. I got the PS5 as I figured there would be so many great games coming to the console. Honestly, the only game that's PS5 exclusive is the Astro's Playground.

I know internally Broadcom is screwing over VMware employees with new contracts. I've heard of staff pushing back three times so far to get contracts changed.

I liked Skiff but moved to Proton as Skiff was still too new for me to trust at the time. Glad I went with my instinct.

Shame though when people are actively taking their privacy seriously and getting away from the major free providers.
