flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.English12·5 days agoNo matter if you end up getting him a pair or not. Be sure he understands that such things as bullying people for having the “wrong” shoes is shallow clique nonsense and he should be better than that.
flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressmanEnglish15·14 days agoWhat about all of those congress critters that get that big bad “socialized medicine” that the common people can’t (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn’t it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?
flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'English15·18 days agoIn my experience working with devs at game studios (i’m a sysadmin/infra engineer type by trade), it is rarely them that is so against open sourcing code, or giving fans of the game the tools needed to keep it going on their own once the devs move on. Most of the devs I have dealt with would like nothing more than to see the thing they created live on and be enjoyed by people, even if they are not personally getting paid for it 10 years down the line.
It is nearly always the executives looking to make sure no one manages to enjoy something the people that work for them created without the c-suite getting paid for it first that is the road block.

That is a honey pot rights holders will be falling over themselves to pay Plex for access to once they hear about it.
Been telling anyone that would listen that they need to get out of Plex since they implemented that first iteration of trying to require you to sign into your own self hosted server with a Plex.tv account. They were telegraphing what direction they were going in with that kind of user hostile move.
Lots of responses about how it was easy to get around so no big deal (or worse that they liked it for some coping mechanism reason) and that nothing else was as easy and feature rich as Plex so it was worth it.
Well now a few years down the road from that they are now going to use that beach head on everyone’s Plex server they can to collect what is being watched and sell it to the highest bidder.

flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Apple TV+ is painful as fuckEnglish4·2 months agoI find that Apple supports their software and services on platforms they don’t own cradle to grave while holding their nose, seemingly just so they can say they are available on other platforms. And catch a few bucks from people that don’t have their hardware but really want to watch Ted Lasso and the like legally on their Android/Roku/Fire TV device.
Sure, it technically works, but like you have seen it is clearly a very distant afterthought.

So while it is a good chunk. Not enough to bottleneck available RAM for other things in the cluster.

flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?English1·2 months agoIt is allotted 16GB out of the 62GB total that the host has. Which is the amount their docs call for in a 20 RPS or 1000 user scenario. Since I am the only one doing any commits or pulls, it does fine.
Does take its sweet time to reboot though. 😆
flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?English4·2 months ago- Gitlab (version control)
- Bookstack (wiki)
- Joplin (not a webapp, but sync server)
- Semaphore (does all of my infra updating via Ansible)
- Uptime-Kuma (monitoring/alerting)
Been thinking about adding NextCloud mostly for the Google Docs/MS Office replacement at some point.
But honestly most of my stuff is just for me, my family prefers to to use whatever commercial thing is out there. So I tend to limit things to infrastructure type things that are of personal interest to me alone.
Or Disney. That mouse would shank his own grandmouse for a larger slice of cheese.

flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Is Google deliberately crippling my phone...English3·3 months agoMore than likely it is Doze. https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby
Supposedly disabling battery restrictions on an app disables Doze, but in practice it doesn’t seem to make much difference.
It has been a thing off and on with Android since Doze was introduced.
flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Dell mocked at its own press launch for copying Apple's names2·5 months agoThis is an issue most OEMs have had with desktops and laptops forever.
To try and squeeze every possible price range as much as possible they create these complex brand/sub-brand configurations, some of which can be even further customized by user desired specs, which ends up making the whole product offering confusing.
As the customer, even a tech literate one that works in the IT field, trying to sort through the options on the Dell/Lenovo site is far more annoying than it should be.
Give me the chassis size (screen size in the case of laptops) and then let me mix and match the major internal components as I need/want and call it a day.
No one actually gives a shit what the branding is beyond “is this a Dell/Lenovo/Asus/etc”.
flop_leash_973@lemmy.worldto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple Watch Chips Now Being Made in the U.S. for the First Time1·5 months agoYep. Tim Cook is a logistics and supply chain guy after all.
I don’t understand how someone makes the logical leaps they do in these kinds of cases. Even from a purely selfish stand point, the risk of exactly what happened and the fallout are just not worth it to make that appointment right then and there or just have the kids sit in the lobby.
I must be losing my grip on reality, trying to reason why someone that thinks this way does the things they do.
