I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.
Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly
Is it efficient? No.
Is it the best way? Also no.
Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.
‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.
Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content
Considering making votes public, not considering making mod actions inform the user they occur.
I can see where their priorities are.
Making votes something mods can see is one thing but public is whole other can of worms.
Edit: Spleling
I don’t typically see it on here and when I do I report that shit
Facebook, Reddit, and YouTube? Every day, Facebook loves to tell me how it doesn’t violate their rules though.
The Internet really did feel more genuine back then when it was ugly and half broken.
It was less sterile and uniform
Every site was unique
Communities felt more real
There I go, whistfully looking to the past again
Our profiles playing music and having their own effects that we can pick
With each day we’re getting closer and closer to classic Myspace
I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.
So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)
And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.
About $3.20.
So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.
USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks
They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.
If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.
Back in the day it was a terrible loss though
I AM HUMAN!
I hate to be the one to break it to you friend but neither of us are.
I would have picked the burger as well.
Yeah it’s lip service, but it’s lip service they pay due to feeling like we are a marketable demographic.
They feel that advertising to us as a group and making the haters mad is more profitable than the alternative.
I’ve shucked a few drives in the past but when there was a big sale on hard drives awhile back I finished decking my NAS out with 8TB drives that weren’t shucked as they came out to be cheaper than the ones in enclosures at the time.
The main downside is warranty really and some of the drives from enclosures need to have the power blocked on one of the pins to work (can’t remember which sorry) due to the type of drive they are.
Thank you
It wasn’t easy but I’d recommend it to everyone for sure
I’ve lost quite a few people to various addictions over the years. Only 1 to drinking.
That one still haunts me oftentimes (though not as much as it used to) about a decade later. They were my long-term boyfriend at the time and after our mutual long-term girlfriend passed away suddenly we both fell off the wagon hard.
I made it out the other side of the path of self destruction, they didn’t.
And when they passed I fell even harder into alcoholism.
My wakeup call was when my doctor asked how many drinks I had per week and when I told him he had me go through the math right there for how I calculated it. It was over 300.
I was there because of some health issues that turned out to be liver problems.
I got sober a few months later.
Sobriety can be a real bitch to maintain at first but it gets easier the longer you’re sober. Especially if you utilize the new found clarity of mind to address the causes of your addiction.
I’ll never drink again.
As someone who also struggled with alcoholism, I wish I quit way sooner than I did.
This September will mark 6 years sober.
It’s the longest I’ve ever been sober in my entire life.
So many people commuting to jobs that could easily be done from home nowadays
I work in the freight industry in a position I can’t do from home but when the whole work from home thing was in full swing I didn’t get stuck in traffic except a few times when the local drawbridge went up
Seeing kids surpass me in skills I taught them how to do is (for me) a fantastic feeling
I want to see them be better than I was at whatever I taught them
It truly is bliss being disconnected from everything every now and then
No Internet, no phone calls, no texts, nothing.
Being truly disconnected from the world at large.
If people need me, they can wait until I get back from my hike or my vacation as I’m truly unreachable unless someone hikes out there too.
Spitting facts right there
Hell my favorite places to go hiking don’t even have cell service
I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago
