I wanted to watch Game of Thrones, but I couldn't, because there was no legal streaming service available back then. (This was in 2015 or something).
That's when I discovered the Pirate Bay and its wonders..
Hmmm.. Maybe it's to prevent scripts from downloading / ripping content off their platform? That's the only theory I can come up with. Although if it's true, they don't do a very good job at it, considering I've seen plenty of WebDL-1080p Netflix exclusive content on torrenting platforms.
Does this eBook downloading thing affect the rest of the Archive? Like, will the entire archive be affected or just the OpenLibrary part of the Archive?
I'm on PC and I haven't noticed anything changed. Literally. I don't notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0's and don't do anything.
Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.
Yeah, I mean, I:
- Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
- Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
- Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
- Go outside every day
- Have a skincare routine (although it's not much)
- Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)
Holy shit, it's almost unbelievable what lengths some people will go to earn a little bit more money.
Because that's what ultimately the goal is, right? To attract more American viewers and therefore earn more money from the broadcasts. This sounds just as stupid as the 'Beneliga' competition, which was supposed to merge the Dutch and Belgium football competitions.

I use it to manage my documents, backup my photos from my phone to my server and access all my files from any other device. Basically Nextcloud is my replacement for OneDrive.
Additionally, I have used it in the past to collaborate on various group projects which require documents. For example, I had to make a presentation with some other people and I could create a PowerPoint in Nextcloud, send a share link to others and then we could edit the PowerPoint in realtime with Nextcloud + Collabora, which is pretty cool. It's the only FOSS alternative (at least as far as I'm aware of) that can compete with Microsoft 365 / Google Workspaces.
Honestly, I'm not really excited about the past couple of major Nextcloud releases.
Mainly because there's still one big issue for small-scale Nextcloud servers: performance.
Mainly the web UI is still too slow for me to properly use, which is why I don't use it at all (unless I have to update an app).
It's a bit disappointing that they're mainly focused on the large enterprise customers instead of small hobbyists like me, but it's still understandable; after all, their income is mainly from the enterprise customers, not from selfhosters.
I also don't really like how they've jumped on the AI hypetrain instead of improving performance. But once again, I guess this generates more income for them than focusing on other things like improving performance.
PSG and ManCity are both literally just representatives of the government of Qatar
I personally really hope that we can get Der Klassiker in the UCL final. Bayern vs Dortmund, just like in 2011/2012. Hopefully with a ridiculous choreography prior to the match, just like back then lol.
I don't think that we're in a simulation, but I do find myself occasionally entertaining the idea of it.
I think it would be kinda funny, because I have seen so much ridiculous shit in my life, that the idea that all those ridiculous things were simulated inside a computer or that maybe an external player did those things that I witnessed, is just too weird and funny at the same time lol.
Also, I play Civilizations VI and I occasionally wonder 'What if those settlers / soldiers / units / whatever are actually conscious. What if those lines of code actually think that they're alive?'. In that case, they are in a simulation. The same could apply to other life simulators, such as the Sims 4.
Idk, what does Lemmy think about it?
I don't think, I just do.
I usually keep an end goal in sight; for example, I sometimes dread going to the gym, but I always remember that my goal is to stay fit, have a healthy body and exercising is an important part of that. By sticking to my goal, I maintain my discipline and go to the gym 3 times per week.
Another example is school homework; in my case, my math homework is something I don't enjoy, but I remind myself that I need the math certificate in order to enroll for a Computer Science degree at an university. Therefore, I keep pushing myself to study math and get good grades (which so far has worked pretty well)
Regrowing / regenerating certain body parts.
This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it's not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we'll become effectively "ammortal"; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)
Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.
Nothing. My other account was only for lurking and I didn't post anything; no comments, no posts, nothing.
I only post / comment on my main, but that's now no longer possible lol.
It's a sound theory, however I am not banned from any subreddit as far as I'm aware of, so ban evasion can't have been the reason.
Although, as I mentioned in another comment, I have another account, but that's mainly used for my nsfw stuff.
I don't use a VPN for Reddit and while I have another account, it's not for ban evasion, but rather to have my nsfw activity separate from my personal account.
No fucking idea what's happened here, but I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit decided to use AI or some shit to regulate the rules, resulting in random bans.
What the fuck.
My Reddit account would be 4 years old next week, but for some unknown reason I got permanently banned.
I genuinely don't understand why, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the enshittification of Reddit Inc. I've never posted anything hateful or doxxed someone. Just mainly discussed Dutch football matches. That's it. I don't think discussing football breaks Reddit rules, right?
I guess I'm disappointed, because a lot of great, niche communities exist on Reddit which don't exist on Lemmy yet, so I now have nowhere to discuss some of my hobbies with random strangers on the internet.
Fuck Reddit and their shitty policy.
I'd recommend everyone to archive their pages through the Internet Archive instead, as that non-profit seems to be more concerned with ethics than corporations such as Google.
Depends.
If there are no external volumes and the container is in its own network without any other containers, then any malware in the container shouldn't be able to reach / affect the host server, because it's isolated.
So I was wondering, what is exactly the use case of owning a server rack with huge CPUs and 256GB of DDR4 RAM with 1PB of storage?
Obviously, I'm kind of exaggerating here, but it does seem that most homelabs are big server racks with at least two CPUs and like 20 cores in total.
Why would I want to buy a server rack with all the bells and whistles when a low-power, small NAS can do the trick? What's the main advantage of having a huge server, compared to an average Synology NAS for example?
Honestly, I only see disadvantages tbh. It consumes way more power, costs way more money and the processing power it provides is probably only relevant for (small) businesses and not for an individual like me.
So, convince me. Why should I get a homelab instead of a regular NAS?
I'm considering adding an SSO process in front of my self-hosted apps such as Nextcloud, Calibre-Web and Immich. The thing I'm thinking about, is do I need to make two accounts for each user I want to add? If I have a new user, do I need to make an account for both the SSO provider and the protected app such as Nextcloud? Or does Nextcloud (or some other app) automatically create a new account upon the first authentication with the SSO provider?
Also, which SSO provider do y'all recommend? I would like to have one with a web UI where I can manage the users :)

Google accused of anti-competitive practices that have led to 65 million UK consumers paying more for goods and services
> The lawsuit argues that Google has effectively ‘bought’ the UK mobile phone search engine market. Google forced mobile phone handset manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search and Google Chrome browser apps on devices that use Google’s Android operating system in order to obtain a licence to use Google Play.
> Google also unlawfully paid billions to Apple to ensure that it was the default search engine on iPhones and other devices that used Apple’s iOS operating system. In 2019, Google paid £1.2 billion to Apple in the UK to be the default search engine on the Safari browser.
> It is claimed that Google has used its market dominance to effectively charge advertisers over the odds. Costs were then passed on to such an extent that all consumers ended up paying higher prices for goods and services sold by brands that have advertised on the platform.
I currently take my phone with me while running, but it's very annoying to take imo.
Like the title says, is there a privacy friendly smart watch that could track my sport activities?
Bonus if it can also sync the data to my private server / NAS :D
De ploeg van trainer Jeroen Rijsdijk, de opvolger van de naar Ajax vertrokken Maurice Steijn, wint in Zwolle met 1-2.
Tja, had ik al verwacht. Het voetbal is wel OK, maar het moet wel beter om te handhaven in de Eredivisie.
Wel weer bijzonder dat de grootste opbrengst van deze transferperiode niet een directe verkoop is, maar een doorverkoop percentage van een verkoop.
Do I have to buy a set for 5.1 surround audio, or can I just buy 5 speakers and one subwoofer separately to potentially save money and link them to my AVR?
Thomas Lam is terug in Zwolle. De Finse verdediger tekent voor één seizoen in Zwolle en keert daarmee terug in zijn geliefde stad. De 29-jarige Lam speelde eerder van 2014-2016 en van 2018-2021 in Zwolle.
Hallo allemaal,
Ik heb zelf erg gemerkt dat boeken geschreven door Nederlandse auteurs in het Nederlands vaak gewoon minder goed zijn dan Engelse literatuur.
Ook toen ik voor school moest lezen vond ik het altijd gewoon vervelend om die boeken te lezen, ondanks dat ik regelmatig mijn eigen boeken mocht kiezen. Bij Engels was het trouwens geen probleem, want daar had ik altijd wel een boek gevonden die ik oprecht leuk vond om te lezen.
Dus ik wilde vragen, welke Nederlandstalige boeken (die niet vertaald zijn naar het Nederlands!) zijn nou echt gewoon goed en leuk om te lezen?
Ik begin wel:
- De Meeste Mensen Deugen
- Leve De Koning
- Aleksandra
- Het bestverkochte boek ooit
- Concept M
- De Eliminatie
- Het is oorlog, maar niemand die het ziet
- Cop vs Killer (ondanks de Engelstalige titel is het een Nederlandstalig boek)
Een doelpunt van Stefanie van der Gragt in de eerste helft brengt de beslissing in Dunedin. Donderdagnacht volgt een duel met regerend wereldkampioen Verenigde Staten.
Younes Namli (29) is terug bij PEC Zwolle. De geboren Deen, die tussen 2017 en 2019 twee seizoenen in Zwolle speelde en daarin tot 72 wedstrijden, elf goals en zestien assits kwam, tekent voor één seizoen.
Hij vindt het niet verstandig en zegt plaats te willen maken voor een nieuw gezicht.
Ik hoop dat deze verkiezingen een keerpunt zal zijn. Dit soort veranderingen zullen hopelijk meer linkse kiezers achter PVDA/ GroenLinks brengen.
I'm currently using Windows 10, but I'd like to switch to linux.
I know it's crazy and weird, but I currently have 3 SSDs and 2 HDDs. One M.2. SSD is used for the OS (Windows 10 in this case) and the other two SSDs are used for games (I currently have about 1.7TB of games on my PC, spread across two SSDs of 1TB each). Besides that, I have one HDD used for general files and the other one for emulated games. (In my case, mainly my totally legal copies of various games from the high seas and a ton of Wii games for the dolphin emulator).
If I were to switch to Linux, would it be possible to keep storing and running the games from other drives that aren't the C drive? And would it be possible to keep my emulation games (mainly the Wii games) on my separate HDD?
Besides that, is it possible to run cracked totally legally acquired games but just from a .exe file?
Hi, I'm interested in switching from Windows 10 to Linux, but I was wondering if there is an alternative to Playnite. I would like to have a game launcher that has the following features:
- Support for Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, GOG
- Support for xbox / ps4 controller
- Support for emulators (such as Dolphin, RPCS3, etc.)
- Tracking playtime
Any suggestions? The only one I've checked out is Lutris, which does not have controller support :(
