Yes.

If there’s no voice channels, then why reinvent IRC?

I looked at the website and every link and have no idea what it does.

“Connect with your friends and community” was in a screenshot.

I’ve seen many remakes but where do you buy the pc version to play any of them?

I replayed the PS2 version on my retroid but I think these mods need the windows version.

It depends on how old. My Xeons are e-2224G. They’re 14nm coffee lake. They are rated at 71Watts but as I said only use 15w streaming 4k.

They’re $190 on eBay with 16gb ram and 256 GB SSD.

A 16 GB Pi5 is $130 just for the motherboard. You still need storage, case and power supply.

I switched to ECC only for my home server over 10 years ago after a silent ram error corrupted some data on my raid drives. I didn’t realize there was a problem until I went to look at an old photo and it was corrupted.

“8 percent of the DIMMs saw correctable error per year”

And this was from 20 years ago when memory density was much less so the chance of an error was lower.

I got an old Lenovo P330 Xeon with 64 G of ECC ram. I recently checked its power usage for another poster asking the same thing. I was shocked to see it only use 15Watts while streaming 4k hevc.

For server use, ECC is important because it’s going to be on 24/7 for years at a time.

I don’t think you can blame it all the merger when MS is 3rd behind Sony and Tencent.

In game consoles Sony outsells MS 2 to 1. MS isn’t a monopoly in gaming.

Bitrot happens even when sitting around. Magnetic domains flip. SSD cells leak electrons.

Reading and rewriting with an ECC system is the only way to prevent bit rot. It’s particularly critical for SSDs.

Those definitions need to match the global standards or you end up with your own confusing jargon.

Not really. The first local login to configure it requires a Plex account. And that account times out maybe monthly? It seems every few months when I remote to the Plex server it wants the plex account to login.

The problem with Plex is it isn’t fully hosted. Plex controls user passwords. You can’t use it without logging into their servers.

Imo profit without compensation is exploitation. If you are paid a salary and the owner sells your burger for more, that’s profit. If you make a burger and the owner sells it for profit without paying you anything, that’s exploitation.

As I just found out, as bizarre as it seems, the definition of OpenSource requires that your work can be exploited by large corporations.

The Lemmy users in the thread were angry with a developer because he didn’t want his program exploited by Google/Microsoft/whomever.

It was in this thread here:

A company was calling their product Open Source because they published the source code and allowed anyone to modify it. But they didn’t want Google taking their work for free. Lemmy users called them scammers/open source washers because they didn’t want their work exploited by large corporations.

I still find it weird that Open Source defenders are adamant that you must allow large corporations to exploit your work or you are a fraud. I had no idea.

It’s open for anyone who wants to play fair, but prevents large corporations from profiting off of your work.

It was just explained to me by many on Lemmy that not just GPL but the actual definition of Open Source requires that you allow large corporations to profit off your work.

I was extremely surprised to find that out. For decades I thought only the BSD license allowed corporations to profit from your work. It turns out that you can’t even technically call your product Open Source if you don’t allow corporations to exploit your work.

I thought it was crazy but I was dogpiled with links showing I was wrong.

It’s worse than that. Rust is named after a Fungal infection known for being unstoppable.

You could do it but it would be enormous. Pi5 draws 10 watts when not idle.

Malware could over write the bootloader allowing it to sit unnoticed forever.

There are free dynamic DNS services so you don’t need to pay for a static ip. I like noip.com.

Oh sure. But it seems like the proper response should have been to reject the last minute changes instead of breaking user space by throwing out an entire filesystem that has been in the kernel for 10 years.
