Seriously, don't buy the game at launch. Wait till the GOTY edition because many features that we had in the past will be packaged as expansions.

To answer your question, most people don't have just one device. Do you have only one device? You must have at least a desktop computer and a smartphone? What if you want to have something stored in your computer when you are not at home?

Music for example. If I don't want to pay Spotify or whatever, and I want to listen to my music on my phone at work and on my computer at home. Other than making two full copies of the entire music library, I think I have to store them on a 3rd location then share it to my two devices.

If I don't listen to music at home, then you're right, there's no reason to self host anything. I can just store all songs on my phone.

There are three reasons that I can think of:

  1. Privacy
  2. Collaboration
  3. Accessibility / cost

Privacy. This is obvious. People don't want their private information to be sold by corporations or scraped by AI.

Collaboration To share information with others, while maintaining point 1, people have to self host. Say, you want to archive a bunch of photos for personal viewing then you can store them anywhere you like. But if you want to share them with family, a self hosted solution is the way to go.

Accessibility / cost People want to do things for free. Many applications offer free version or demo, but features are often limited and you can't really customize them to your own needs. In addition, applications often adopt a subscription model these days and people don't like that.

I don't think it checks if the video is watched in Jellyfin.

Just curious if there's a setting in any of those applications that removes downloaded videos which have been watched at least once, and after x amount of time? It's sort of like a watch list. If watched, I don't want to keep the video. But if I do, I can add it to a playlist and let PinchFlat download it for archive.

MMO wise, it has to be World of Warcraft. Played it nonstop when I was young.

2nd place is Oxygen Not Included.

Perhaps the reason is more simple. When did we have a non-indie platformer title well received by the mass? I don't think people want a combo of "platformer" and "AAA" (hence the price).

Witcher 3 and Skyrim are pretty good. RDR2 is great, particularly because you can see it coming.

Wholeheartedly support Tailscale or similar solutions. Reverse-proxy or VPN are just too complicated (for me, at least).

I know this is not the theme of this post, but I wonder if there's an LLM that doesn't hallucinate when asked to summarize information of a group of documents. I tried Gpt4all for simple queries like finding out which documents mentioned a certain phrase. It often gave me filenames that didn't actually exist. Hallucinating contents is one thing but making up data source is just horrible.

I have a similar issue that the package often goes backward, if that makes sense. It's so uncomfortable if it happens after taking a seat in a meeting so you can't fix it. My solution is to purchase boxer briefs from those fetish brands. They usually carry a product line that pushes up the package. I don't need the visual appeal but the design groups everything to the front, so they have nowhere else to go. Then you just choose a size that the pouch is just big enough.

 

I own a couple TP-Link Tapo Wi-fi light bulbs. Currently, each family member installs an app on the phone to control the light bulbs. I wonder if there's a way to do the same but in a browser (via docker app on my NAS). And because we may use smart devices of other brands in the future, it seems too much trouble to install yet another app on each phone.

 

Currently I set up Tailscale in my Synology NAS and I can access selfhosted services on my phone using the Android app. I want to use some services in my work PC too but I'm blocked from installing any software. So my question is, is there any solution that allows me to connect to selfhosted VPN via browser extension? (Just like NordVPN, I can install the browser extension to use it and I don't need the Windows app.)
