surely giving edge more functionality to mac and linux users isn't a good idea right?

If i was stack overflow I would've transferred my backups to OpenAI weeks before the announcement for this very reason.

This is also assuming the LLMs weren't already fed with scraped SO data years ago.

It's a small act of rebellion but SO already has your data and they'll do whatever they want with it, including mine.

I'm running it decently on a Raspberry Pi 4B. No less latency than a commercial cloud solution like OneDrive in my experience. Could be faster, though.

I moved from a 1080p monitor to a 1440p one for my main display and it's actually really worthwhile. Not only is your daily computing sharper, but multitasking becomes easier because smaller windows are still legible.

IMO it's a lot easier on the eyes when things are sharper, too.


1080p is still more than enough, but I think 1440p is worth it for a screen you're using for hours every day :)

I'd keep the physical library around and just digitize as and when she asks for specific stuff. You'll probably never back up half the library. That or stick it on a HDD out of the way and transfer the few she wants, then tuck the drive in a draw forever in case she wants something else.

Jellyfin must have a feature like Plex where certain user accounts can have certain libraries attached? You could use that to avoid having to look at those crappy movies in your library.

I don't really have much of an issue with family recommendations but I do tell them that the space isn't unlimited so if they don't watch something they asked for I'm likely to remove it for something we WILL watch. In your case, you could at least have leverage to get her to narrow down what needs hosting and what doesnt.

If I'm looking up something general, like some actor or tv show, then DDG is perfect. If im troubleshooting some weird software issue then i find it doesnt always list as many results, as if it hasnt indexed as many sites.

DDG at least now means I can search random shit without it suddenly being inserted into my social media algorithms like some kind of psychological torture.

Google used to list sites with backlinks highly, it was their first ever search algorithm iirc. Once people learned you could game that by planting useless backlinks, Google realised it was a bad idea.

Somehow, they've reinvented this all over again with parasite SEO that fundamentally works the same way. All they did was add some "domain ranking". Now, unreliable-but-popular sites coughredditcough will always score highly regardless of quality, because Google deemed them superior.

Point being, a relatively similar-themed co-op title that has paid DLC cosmetics, but wasnt fundamentally crippled by allowing modding and cheats (albeit in sandboxed environments)
