My point was that it’s one of a very short list of free top-level domains, and was likely chosen because it was free and didn’t have the same reputation that, say, .tk had.

I doubt that was literally their intent, it’s just a free TLD

Lowe’s uses a customized Linux distro for their department terminal computers. Most of what you do is in browser or terminal applications, if genesis is still in use.

It was more common for commercial discs and some consumer discs to have the data layer sandwiched between the bottom surface and label layer, especially later in cd/dvd’s heyday, to prevent tiny scratches on the label or sharpie marks from destroying bits in the data layer.

Plex has been good to me but I grow ever more concerned that they will drop lifetime Plex pass features as they become more focused on being a provider of media and not just a streaming middleman.

Nintendo made no legal demands nor threatened to sue any involved party, their letter just formally requests that dolphin wouldn’t be published on steam.

The lifecycle would continue. Xchat to ychat to hexchat to dodecahedronchat…

I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.

Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.

A flatpak of the snap, running in a docker container inside a vm for maximum security.

Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).

Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

Steams solution is about as simple as it gets. Install steam on both devices (or the steam link app/ a physical steam link box), pair controller, log in, hit play.

Steam supports fully remote play, you don’t need to use any wacky vpn workarounds

It’s crazy how easy this recent drama has made leaving Reddit for me. Saw all the user-hostile changes and just deleted my Reddit apps and have only been visiting it via google searches on very domain-specific knowledge.

Yeah I developed it to average new posts over each 5m interval so there isn’t a huge dump of posts every 5 minutes- but it’s still a lot of topics compared to Lemmys typical activity.

Lots of non-tech crap gets mixed in, thinking about adding some filtering etc.
