You are aware of course that slop existed before generative AI and there are other things that are slop.

For me, that’s not compelling. We all have different priorities.

If you’re referring to their announcement last year about discontinuing meshnet, they’ve retracted that.

I know there are alternatives but why would I go to any effort to set them up when i have something that has worked exactly as I want it to for the last 2yrs? The cost of nordvpn is sufficiently low enough that I wouldn’t switch to something just because it’s free.

I’ve used NordVPN for a couple of years and never had reason to switch. None of it gets in my way, and it’s just worked.

I’m sure others are just the same, but ive no reason to put in effort to change when I have a working solution.

Plus it’s double effort cus I dont think anyone else does a meshnet alternative so I’d be setting up tailscale too.

Start at 1 and work your way up in increments of 1.

See you in about 100 years give or take a few decades.

S3 seems like a really expensive way to backup personal data. Are you doing it to achieve the offsite backup?

I currently dont have an offsite and im weighing up having a NAS at my parents place.

Just the good ones.

Presumably someone grabbed him and then they grd the rope through and round. Adding more rope and belts as more folks arrived.

Thank you that’s very helpful! I’m pretty handy with software so not troubled by that, but I am lazy outside of work so I’ll likely follow your envision advice! But still sounds like a fair bit to do so I suspect I’ll kick it down the road till WMR finally goes.

Thanks again!

How are you getting on with VR? I have a Reverb G2 and if I can play Elite and DCS on Linux I’m basically sold at this point.

I really want a new headset but nothing beats the G2 right now, without giving money to Meta which I refuse to do.

Lists are also very handy!

I’m curious as to whether this is lack of experience, knowledge or imagination. Maybe all 3.

You get it. Well said.

I appreciate why you’re doing that and am just offering feedback you are welcome to ignore: it made me think you’re a bit of a douche and I didn’t feel like interacting with you much after that.

Did you just have a whole conversation with yourself? Lol at least give me a chance to respond.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Will check them out, cheers

It either restarts part way through or stops playing as if it can’t buffer anymore.

It comes and goes, sometimes I’ll go a couple of weeks of it working fine then for a week or more i get the above issues.

Honestly the mobile app doesn’t work for such long periods of time that I’ve all but given up and gone back to YouTube.

If anyone knows an app to replace YouTube that is actually reliable then let me know! I’m in the market.

I’m with you…except I choose to believe there’s a reason they’re going bust (because no, folks aren’t choosing to spend on this)

That said, I’d like to remind everyone that Elon Musk has the money and power to end homeless and poverty in the US and chooses not to.

And that one guy got his comeuppance
