To self-host, you do not need to know how to code.
I agree but also say that learning enough to be able to write simple bash scripts is maybe required.
There's always going to be stuff you want to automate and knowing enough bash to bang out a script that does what you want that you can drop into cron or systemd timers is probably a useful time investment.
And millions of children cried out for their waifus.
(This is good: I play and enjoy Genshin but they're using every single psychological trick to get you to spend money to gamble and that kind of shameless shit shouldn't be put in front of children who don't have sufficient experience and developmental time to not get totally taken.)
No.
I pirate everything, but am very very reluctant to do so with software or games.
I only pirate in cases where the company involved is just too gross to support (looking at you, Adobe), or if there's absolutely no other option.
But I consider pirated software and games absolutely suspect 100% of the time, because I'm old enough to remember when every keygen was also a keylogger, and every crack was also a rootkit and touching any pirated software was going to give you computer herpes without fail.
So maybe it's not that bad anymore, but I mean, do you fully trust in the morals of someone who would spend the time helping you steal someone else's shit to not add just one more little thing to it for themselves?
loops, whatever the hell that is
FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.
I don't disagree, but if it's a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that's still Jellyfin doing something weird.
No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn't doing it on exactly the same files.
As far as it matters for this, a hypervisor is a hypervisor.
I use qemu/kvm because it's what I'm used to on the linux side, but I don't think it has any particular feature that makes it more safe compared to like virtualbox or vmware or anything else.
One thing I ran into, though it was a while ago, was that disk caching being on would trash performance for writes on removable media for me.
The issue ended up being that the kernel would keep flushing the cache to disk, and while it was doing that none of your transfers are happening. So, it'd end up doubling or more the copy time because the write cache wasn't actually helping removable drives.
It might be worth remounting without any caching, if it's on, and seeing if that fixes the mess.
But, as I said, this has been a few years, so that may no longer be actively the case.
It's such the best meme, and a thing that so many people need to see at every opportunity so keep posting it.
Why pay someone when you can just use ChatGPT?
I mean, the quality of what you get is going to be garbage either way, so you might as well just use AI to cheat rather than paying for a site that pays someone a tiny fraction to do it for you.
Yeah, I don't let anything that has to be cracked out of an isolated VM until it's VERY clear that nothing untoward is going on.
QEMU has proven perfectly lovely for a base to use for testing questionable software, and I've got quite a lot of VMs sitting around for various things that ah, have been acquired.
Humans can't do then benevolent part for very long.
You can fake it for a bit, but by and large we're just absolutely shit at not being assholes to each other once you get outside of your family tribe or maybe your local neighbors.
(Also having a complete mental breakdown doesn't help, and boy howdy.)
I don't think so, no. At least nothing I've noticed, but they're also not being any better than any other gacha game, either.
