Haven't tried streaming, but I have Chromecast devices set up with the jellyfin for android TV app to stream from the NAS over LAN to any TV in the house. Basically don't have any subscription service so these things are just Jellyfin + YouTube devices.

Have got two of my family members onto bitwarden and even that is a lot for the tech-illiterate. Couldn't imagine Keepass+syncthing.

Ultimately, bitwarden is better than using hunter12 for everything like how they were.

Tell me about it. Skyrim for all its accolades kind of fails as an RPG in the sense that your character can do pretty much everything, but your run speed/jump height is static.

Increasing health/magic/stamina was a really lame way to handle levelling IMO.

It would be a shame if they streamlined the RPG systems even more for TESVI

That's a really good point. So many of my friends who used silk road would be multimillionaires if they didn't spend the btc.

Obsidian user as well. I like to think of it that tags are folders.

When you put something in a folder, you have to choose one of the files identities. Tags more or less allow you to assign a file to any number of groups.

So if you're writing about an NPC in a DnD campaign, for example: That NPC will exist in a certain place. He will be associated with particular guilds and he will have certain moves that you might want to keep track of. You can later easily search by a guild or a move or a place and there will be a link to that NPC and others that share those indentifying characteristics.

A big advantage of zettelkasten is that you don't need to really worry about file management in the sense of needing to make exclusionary choices.

This is such a monkeys paw. You have a drive with $500 million USD of Bitcoin, but the drive is somewhere in the local landfill.

Such a curse, I can't imagine the regret they feel every day getting up for work.

After 10 years though, isn't it just gone/destroyed? Rain/corrosion would have destroyed the drive by now.

Looking forward to putting this on my Isthereanydeal waitlist for the 75% off barrier. Genuinely one of the top games of my teen years when it came out, but $50 USD is a bit much for such an old game.

Would YouTube get shittier if Google was broken up? I was under the understanding that YouTube is a loss leader service for Google, but I still think its one of the best social media sites on the web. Even when you consider the number of ads (that doesn't affect a revanced user).

Hahaha, touché. To be fair though, a lot of people struggle with email.

And if an easier version of email existed, email mightn't have caught on.

He's more than capable of joining the fediverse, but he's also a UI/UX designer. I would say his main issue with the fediverse is the amount of friction between a normie being exposed to the concept and actually signing up and engaging with it.

You have to admit that it isn't the simplest thing to do. People have to understand the concept of the fediverse, find an instance that will accept them, sign up (with confirmation required from the instance mods) and then find out how to find communities that they are interested in.

It's not about whether a tech-savvy person can figure it out with some effort, it's about whether normal people can transition away from a monolithic, streamlined, social media to it.

Yeah sure, the *arr suite in general is a bit advanced to set up, even if it can be done in 30 minutes with experience.
