I think they’re referring to a trade in programme

Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

Permadeath programming, love it

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I haven’t been tempted back

Yup, I’ve done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit’s app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone…

Can see you from my local instance :)

I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(

Cannot updoot enough, I love this game. Best RTS I’ve ever played!

I generally don’t trust most git GUIs - a number of our developers have used SourceTree on OS X before and it’s led to nothing but issues. The only one I trust is the one built into IntelliJ IDEA, otherwise I’ll use commandline.

It varies hugely. Rocket League is my most played on Steam and I think I’m at around 1700 hours, but that’s the kind of game I’ve played on and off for years. The other worst was Foxhole which I managed to rack up 600 hours in over a couple of months. Usually for a game I like it’ll be 100-200 hours, but it does vary hugely.

It seems like PeerTube does allow peer to peer streaming of watched videos too, so that might help mitigate the bandwidth requirements. The storage and transcoding requirements will be far larger than things like Lemmy though, agreed.

Agreed. Sensible to only do the incoming too, I had an outgoing one and it got hijacked because SMTP security seems to default to ‘least secure’. For example if there is a single character out of place in the config file, I found it basically opened everything up rather than reporting an issue :)

I didn’t need to hear this today :(. Brb, going to give my cats a hug.

Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.

It really is! I used to love TA back in the day but never got into the online scene. BAR is definitely my type of game, had some epic battles!

Not quite got that far yet - will let you know in a day or two! :)
