Thanks mate, keep it up, much kek :)

Glorious!

Yeah, keyword list would be awesome.

I have a personal bunch of communities as is allowed and occasionally jump to main when I run out of content. Usually see something I regret, often Trumpian, amusing but depressing. Maccas window Trump etc. Will code for relief if it’s not too (ironically) political.

Whatever, can’t read it. Small, bad text.

Line must go up…

Screw you guys, immutable fedora. Currently, bazzite, but I can, and have, change on a whim.

updoots to freetube, plug it into libredirect for an even better experience.

NGL, thought Terry Pratchett.

GNU Terry Pratchett.

Sorry, you’re probably right. It’s a thing I expect to be problematic if the future. Of course all problems will burn up in the atmosphere…

and isn’t that a nice thought, but no, it raises orbit fairly naturaly…

Yup, but scatter might be bad…Still, in principle, better satellites live…

Not wrong, and yet small parts of that ‘orbit’ would kinetically increase, in a Kessler sort of way…

Don’t worry, greed ensures that Kessler Syndrome will get them in the not too distant future. Sure hope you aren’t reliant on GPS or other satellite services, but at least, for a shining moment, shareholders got some value. /s

Don’t disagree, just looking at it from the Lord Farquaad point of view, “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”. I think space exploration is good and if we have to burn a few billionaires to get there, I am sanguine.

Eh, perhaps mission is a bit much, with the military connotations, but they are testing some valid hypotheses, like will high radiation render billionaires sterile/cancer ridden and will an untested spacesuit kill one. Worthy in my mind.

Morbid humour aside, it’s not totally a joyride, could be worse.

RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch

No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch… Best have a look before starting.

More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you’ll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you’ll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn’t matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it’s easy to switch to another. You’ve got time, take some to skill up.

Absitively, use case here IMO is set and forget autoupdate to stay current and SELinux (which actually reduces surface)

For a media server speed matters little (5400rpm is plenty), if you’ve only got one drive, warranty is king. Thing is you shouldn’t only have one drive, drives will fail, and warranty doesn’t get your data back, so you plan for it. At the very least, you should look at getting an offline backup as soon as possible, now you don’t care if your drive fails and can get the cheapest ones. Ideally, you also set up a RAID5 (or Unraid, or mergerfs+SnapRAID) on your server, now you just get a replacement drive and rebuild. Remember RAID is not a backup, it doesn’t protect against accidental deletions for example, so you still want the offline backup.

Also, don’t sleep on manufacturer recertified drives, as long as you have a backup they’re significantly more cost-effective.

TLDR: set yourself up so that a drive failing is not a problem.

If you do this (and it’s a good idea) also record it, replay and make notes later. The more forms you learn in, the better the recall and understanding.
