Wow cash? Can you do that? I thought you could only buy things with debt piled against the asset, you know, leveraged buyouts

The amount of people who treat work devices like their own is insane. When work is over my laptop is shutdown and closed. There’s no need for it to be on at all until I start working again. In a way I kind of get the corpo ITs reasoning why they’d want this, people messaging their friends and families from the same devices that have company secrets on them

Holy setup batman. Was thinking it was going to be another container I spin up, but it’s enabling kernel modules, needs IOMMU, needs a ton of setup and then it looks like you still have to compile it? For now at least that’s above my needs

Honestly think finally found common ground, and I appreciate the thought out response here. This is the sort of discussion and comment I want to see more of here on Lemmy, thought out good discussion instead of “He’s literally hitler”. That’s really the point I was trying to make, I don’t care about Bill Gates, what I am tired of is everyone demonizing everyone else in the comments and us devolving into reddit comment sections. We’ve been better than Reddit in our comments until recently.

And ad hominem attacks are empty and hollow to me.

The fact that you don’t get the nuance that I’m trying to show and going right to comparing to literally Hitler is exactly my point. That’s not discussion, it’s quite literally the Moral Equivalence fallacy. There have been a few good comments here that made me stop and think, actual discussion, weighing pros and cons. Jumping right to Hitler was not one of them.

Again, no nuance and going right to black and white

It’s just every thread man, every one of them devolves into it and I’m so tired. It’s quite literally like the Good Place where even the act of buying a tomato will get people raging in the comments about how apparently you support climate change, slavery, and every other bad thing involved in the growing of it. Or, hear me out, I just bought a tomato. I’m just so tired of it here

Your take is more nuanced than most I see here and I appreciate that, see the other comment as a prime example.

God you hit the nail on the head, and why I’m getting very annoyed here on Lemmy. People refuse to have nuanced takes and just comment incessantly about how people are evil and doing anything makes you a bad person. Turns out people are nuance, and we can judge them as such. You can say he did some terrible things to make Microsoft successful while also saying he has done some very good things with his fortune. It is not black and white.

Lawyers and marketers who refuse to see nuance and view everything as a potential threat

but the vast majority of crawlers don’t care to do that. That’s a very specific implementation for this one problem. I actually did work at a big scraping farm, and if they encounter something like this,they just give up. It’s not worth it to them. That’s where the “worthiness” check is, you didn’t bother to do anything to gain access.

Same experience for me. I teetered on the edge of “Was it worth it” and now I think yes, yes it was - but it was not as easy as the bros here say when they comment “Just switch to jellyfin”

Not arguing with any of that. For me personally it was enough for me to switch and it was worth it

The server is indeed meant to be ran on a server by someone comfortable with running servers. I was referring to the clients mostly and connecting new clients.

That’s counting on one machine using the same cookie session continuously, or they code up a way to share the tokens across machines. That’s now how the bot farms work

ah we’re all learning together :)

I was a single server with only me and 2 others or so, and then saw that I had thousands of requests per minutes at times! Absolutely nuts! My cloud bill was way higher. Adding anubis and it dropped down to just our requests, and bills dropped too. Very very strong proponent now.

Part of the territory I guess, but hey thanks :) If you ever need help debugging a game on Linux I’ll be sure to help out! I guess I won’t recommend protondb first though?

You’re the first user that I’ve ever come across (so far) that assumes someone hasn’t checked ProtonDB when someone says “I’ve searched…” in the context of Linux Gaming… Much less on Lemmy.

And someone who was willing to try to debug with you. Won’t be responding anymore.
