It’s not that I need it to be perfect, it’s that I need to make sure I can get my environment running for work on Monday 😅 But thanks, I’m excited that it’s even a feasible option!

That’s exactly what this is part of! HISTV is the fruit of one of my many explorations, and that genesis is part of why I posted this in a selfhosting comm.

As to escaping Windows entirely, thanks to Valve’s work on the Proton layer I can feasibly switch to daily driving some flavour of Linux. Soon. I just need to metaphorically get off my ass and trial it out for a few days on a live boot USB to work out any bugbears before making the actual switch (for personal reasons, I’m going to be starting from scratch and setting my environment up right, so it has to go smoothly).

Lol cheers bru, appreciate the solidarity 🙌

Oh! Apologies, I wasn’t directing that at you. I see how it came off that way though; my tone was meant to be self-deprecating. By the last bit I just meant I saw a downvote or two. Could be any reason for those, or none at all.

TIL, cheers! That’s pretty awesome. Now that this is working, I’ll probably drop it entirely and move on to learning Tdarr, I’m really curious how the network compute works 😅

Yep. I didn’t scope out and build that one though. Also I didn’t get to name it, which in hindsight was obviously a terrible mistake.

This isn’t better than Handbrake. It’s simpler, though. Also, as I said in another comment, I wanted to see if I could get it to work - it was as much personal challenge as anything.

And I got it working, and I’m proud of my dumb little first project, so I posted about it. There seem to be some people think I shouldn’t have done that last bit, though.

Thanks! Yeah, that’s pretty much my exact use case lol. I can’t run the transcode on my server for various reasons so I have to do it on my local machine. Dunno if tdarr supports that. Probably should have found out before rolling my own, but I wanted to see if I could do it 😅

Fediverse “starter pack” invites, so you can invite people to the fediverse and to your favourite communities all at once? Love it!

I like the irony of that.

Our code is hallucinated but our legal team is very, very real

Control. I’ve always had a fondness for SCP-related stuff so when I saw Control on sale for $3 or $4 it was an instant mindless purchase. Bored a few days later I decided to give it a go, and then I went and beat the entire game and the DLC. Great power fantasy, great lore, great voice acting, fun moment to moment gameplay balanced between exploring, upgrading, story beats, and boss fights. Also ties in to their other games like Alan Wake; I haven’t played that one, but I’ve strongly considered it just because of Control and wanting more of that universe.

Or just wilfully ignore me and strawman me, whatever, it’s the internet so most likely that one 🤷‍♀️

And you’re taking a gentle poke in fun far too seriously (which is a bad idea, because you can’t seriously defend yourself - the charge of hypocrisy is accurate). Complaining about toxicity in the RimWorld community, no less, widely known as one of the nicest communities in gaming. Get off your high horse, you smug git.

Or don’t, and keep being insufferable. Again, it’s the internet, so most likely that one 🤷‍♀️

You’re talking about the paradox of tolerance, which isn’t a paradox and isn’t relevant here.

You said games should be about having fun, and then immediately proceeded to proscribe one kind of fun by baselessly denigrating the people who enjoy the challenge of a difficult game.

Some perspective for you: RimWorld is single player. There are no toxic behaviours to block, except the very ones you’re complaining about and perpetrating here like gatekeeping.

Or just wilfully ignore me and strawman me, whatever, it’s the internet so most likely that one 🤷‍♀️

Games should be about having fun

NOT LIKE THAT

It’s an anxiety thing; the actual name is “rejection sensitivity dysphoria”: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd

A lot of AuDHD people suffer it. Great example, I started a business and I’ve gotten 99% positive feedback on the product from dozens of people, but a handful of negative comments and two of my best friends didn’t like it, and I’ve actually considered giving up entirely because of that.

Which is insane. I love my product, I’m very happy with it… but my buddies not liking it makes me very sad on a whole bunch of levels.

Also I did delete my old account and comments, precisely because as MagicShel said above: it had existed long enough to be a liability. It’s not as big a deal here as on Reddit though, you can export your preferences and get back to the same subscriptions and blocks very easily on any new account!

If you’re seriously asking, there’s not even a brand name visible, let alone an ingredient list.

Agree completely, these shenanigans are a big reason I’m on a selfhosting rampage at the minute. Speaking of, does anyone have favourite self-hosted alternatives?

If you want to, ask her and put it in your calendar! It’s always nice to know someone remembers you fondly enough to send well wishes 😊

With the number of school shootings here, I think it’d only take weeks.
