I'm a Zoomer with a Dell Optiplex running Ubuntu server, an 18 TB HDD, and 35 years of combined seed time. I'll let you fill in the gaps. Many of us are extremely tech literate and often share our Plex/Jellyfin instances with friends. Many of these not-so-etch-literate friends ask how they can do this for themselves using their computers and we shoot them over instructions.

Piracy is infinitely easier/more accessible than ever. It's spreading like wildfire and thanks to the FOSS community anyone with a spare evening can get themselves up and running very quickly.

I don't think it's diminishing the work of the Yuzu devs, but more so a strong belief in the capabilities of the open source community. They worked their asses off and are extremely talented, and I'm sure there are others who will hop in and carry the torch.

I'm also curious if there's a programmatic way to circumvent the argument Nintendo made about bypassing DMCA by separating the emulator from the code that utilizes the keys such that you can use tool A to bypass DMCA, and tool B (Yuzu with game decryption removed) to run the circumvented game. In this case tool A already exists, and tool B could be a fork of Yuzu.

Not OP, but I just use ZeroTier for this since it's dead simple to setup and free. I'm sure there's some 100% self-hosted solutions, but it's worked for me without issue.

I don't know what you're trying to get at. The original comment stated the stock market is a rich man's game that poor men are designed to lose. I pointed out that anyone with extra income can take advantage of the stock market and not lose. Just because rich people can take advantage of market manipulation doesn't mean poor people have to lose.

I'm more of a toasted salami and cheese on sourdough with mustard, salt, and pepper guy personally, but any sandwich really fits the bill. Sometimes I say fuck it and just throw butter and cheese on some bread when I'm really feeling lazy.

You don't need to manipulate markets to dollar cost average the S&P500 for 40 years and retire. This is a get rich slow scheme that's worked since the inception of index funds.

This is a gross over simplification. Yes, rich people can have higher risk tolerance, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't be going long on index funds and otherwise safe, low risk investments for retirement with what they can afford to.

I'd say it's more convenience than elitism.

I'm in BTN and it's the only indexer I use for my Sonarr instance because it has absolutely everything. I've never not been able to find something and almost everything I download will saturate my 1.2 Gbps connection.

For Radarr I don't have any private trackers and it takes 35 public trackers to get coverage that is almost as good. The options I'm given are way less organized and download speeds are a gamble. It's not really an issue because I rarely watch movies, but I definitely understand why private trackers are so sought after. I'll eventually try to get into some smaller ones which tend to be pretty easy to do.

I've been using Google's Gemini and it's pretty good at interpreting fucked up or imperfect smart commands. For example we have some lights named "Chrimas Lights" and it will turn those on and off by referring to them as Christmas lights. It can also do multiple commands in a row without being overly explicit. So you can say "set lights to x%, make them yellow, and turn them off in an hour and set my TV to volume x" and it'll do it no problem. The old assistant could not do anything even close to this.

It's also much faster and processes words as fast if not faster than a human can. From finishing a command to the command being executed seems to be about 1/10th of a second which makes me wonder if it's doing any sort of inferencing on the back end. It's one of the best LLM integrations I've seen so far.

Auto save with Google Docs style snapshots has so little overhead I'd hardly consider it a trade-off. We have insane amounts of disk storage and extremely reliable non-volatile memory. The only reason against it that I can conceive of is confidential data you don't ever want to exist outside of volatile memory.

All modern word processors use auto save and it kinda blows my mind libre does not do this.

That's interesting given that in California pre-school is 4-yo and kindergarten is the year after that.

I don't think so because it requires you to provide proof you work there actively, and those who leave are assigned alumni and grandfathered in. It's mainly just lots of PIP and toxicity that is discussed, and memeing about how dog shit things are.
