This year I know one of the jockeys (they used to be my Neighbors), I don't know what horse he was on, I'm not googling it and sending that to my google algorithm, I refuse to watch it or give the industry as a whole any of my attention.
It needs to die, and the gambling that goes with it.
I run Plex for my main system but have Jellyfin installed to keep up to date with its progress.
I gave up on Emby pretty quickly but never went back to try it again, maybe it's better now, but if I wanted an alternative to plex i'd stick with Jellyfin because it's open source and community run.
I weep for your phone bill, I used to do that to send emails from my Sony Clie when wifi was still pretty new and rare in public.
Are we old. I think we're old.
The only mmo's I ever really spent any significant time with were FFXI (on dial up for most of the time I spent with it so my experience wasn't great) and GW2. not mentioning eve... we dont talk about that..
There was a free MMORPG called Planeshift (I played quite a lot in 2005 or so, it's still around and being actively worked on) that was very elder scrolls inspired, I put a lot of time into in the past too but being a small free amateur project it didn't have a lot of players.
I just don't have the time or motivation to give modern MMOs the attention they really need to make progress, and I was very much a solo player at the time so progress was slow and hard.
I think if I was to pick up a new one it would be FF14, it has a balance of open gameplay and story which a lot of mmos ignore, it seems like a good community but as with all mmos they really dont want you to just drop in a play a couple of hours every second weekend, they want you to get in daily and stick to a routine, which I just cant commit to these days.
I went with momentary push-button switches connected to zigbee dimmers behind the wallplates. Cost more but it's much more sensible, particularly for double switch situations where you just parallel up the switches.
Hey, Jeff's here! Neat.
I's not a problem at all, it's pretty sweet, just getting only about 400-500 mbits when I can get over 900 combined when testing with torrents and other services. ABB say they absolutely, unequivocally do not throttle usenet. So I just suspect it is a limitation of my server setup and I'm too lazy to try to find the cause..
Oh man, I feel you, I was on dial up well into the 2000's and the first time I had anything better than a couple of megabit on crappy DSL with bad lines was just a couple of years ago when I was finally able to get 100/40. now I have fibre with a gigabit down, but still only 50meg upload.
That will get fixed eventually, it took plex years to get ASS support working properly, its a complex format to render client side, particularly when its doing the fancy moving overlay stuff to pull of tricks like replacing text on a poster or sign and such. Its one of the few things still holding me from totally switching over to Jellyfin.
You're in Aus right? How are your speeds?
I currently use both NewsgroupNinja and NewsDemon combined but still cant get past about half a gig a second but it very well may be a limitation in my download server somewhere.
There's always the chance that your account gets blocked in some way, or perhaps even your payment processor flags it as fraudulent. so it is best to set up a new account entirely just in case.
Also, your music and some algorithm suggestions will get mixed up, but that tends to solve itself after a little while
It's probably possible and safe for roms, but then there are already more or less complete packs for basically every console and retro computer ever made so it's not that useful.
