The engine Can of Duty uses is effectively a heavily modified quake 3 engine.

By this point it’s so modified it may as well be a different thing, but make no mistake it has evolved from the quake 3 engine.

I used OSMC for years going back to when it was still raspbmc, got the first Vero and then the 4k model.

They were never perfect and hassle free, a lot of which I put down to Kodi itself. I love the idea of Kodi, but the base interface is lacking (especially when you have a big collection) and most of the fancy front-ends / skins I tried would run too slow and once again bring back the shoddy TV experience I was trying to avoid. It also does not support streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ in any usable capacity. Kodi has a rich add-on ecosystem, which usually means you can plug some gaps but the add-ons have a habit of just breaking out of the blue or during major upgrades. I’ve had to have Kodi index my library so many times that I got sick of it ruining film night.

Eventually I bought an Nvidia shield, still using Kodi at first but switching between Plex, jellyfin and emby until I settled on emby for my local content. Being able to use other streaming services was a bonus and the hardware was good enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish.

You can also install 3rd party apps like smart tube for an excellent YouTube experience (and now my preferred way to watch YouTube).

The shield is starting to show it’s age big time (it doesn’t support HDR on YouTube, for example) but sadly outside of the USA there isn’t really any devices that match or beat it - you keep hearing about that Wal-Mart device being brilliant but that’s US only.

So in short, get a good android TV box for the best experience and the most options.

Open collective can let you specify where you want that donated money to go, so if the jellyfin admins wanted to they could have set OC up in such a way that donations could go to specific areas - not just clients, but specific feature development even.

If you’re concerned that your donation to the project wouldn’t go to something you value or your wanted to ensure a client you cared about had support, that would have been a better way to manage it.

I really think jellyfin is making a mistake by not centralising development costs for all the various clients and such out there, especially for those that require some developer account or certification to get on a storefront.

It’s how agile development is meant to work. The faster you get feedback on a feature, the faster you can improve on it while it’s still green in your head (and the faster you can drop it and put your efforts elsewhere if it turns out to be a dud).

A fully written feature sat there doing nothing is offering you no value.

Another recommendation for tdarr, set it up in January and let it transcode away, going to h265 for all my media - saved me over 40TB of space so far and I haven’t noticed a massive drop In quality or had any playback issues.

And yet no actual contributor to openssl is losing sleep over this.

Your analogy would fit if the deprecated methods didn’t have a higher barrier to entry than using GitHub.

This is less like removing the wheelchair ramps and more like removing the steps at the back of the building.

I doubt many of the commentators here used any of the deprecated methods to contribute to openssl.

It’s one thing to talk about what’s good for open source, it’s quite another to practice it.

Those keybindings are prevalent outside of windows though, Ctrl+C is almost universally copy and Ctrl+V is almost universally paste - it might have been popularised by windows at some point in history but it’s well beyond that.

There’s an argument for consistency, especially with basic functions.

Yeah I love nano. I can use vim a little, enough to make a change and save the output. I can even exit vim!

But 9 times out of 10 if I need to edit a text file in a terminal window, I’m just making a quick config change - I need the terminal equivalent to notepad, not the terminal equivalent to an IDE.

Nano is exactly what I need, nothing more and nothing less.

The airplane was small, not the crash.

I think the argument about “for accessibility” is missing the point a little bit and a common mistake most developers make.

You should endeavour to make your interface accessible by default. You shouldn’t be thinking in terms of “okay here’s the design and here’s the design that’s accessible”, you should be considering accessibility in all of your designs.

Now that’s usually a bit harder with games because you have styles and themes that you don’t want to detract from, but if your interface causes accessibility issues, it’s generally going to be bad for people that don’t have accessibility needs as well.

Accessibility benefits everyone.

I think it’s more like pepsi issuing a product recall for something that has been accidentally left on the side of the road. You know you should not be drinking it anyway, but you also know someone would try it.

I don’t think your second point is correct. You can still embed analytics on a static website. I believe you’re conflating it with your first point by assuming that scripts are disabled on the browser side, in which case it’s a bit of a redundant point.

I also think it’s a bit unrealistic in this day and age to run with scripts completely disabled. I know it sucks, but we need better ways of protecting our privacy and disabling all scripts is a bit of an extreme measure given so much of the modern web relies on it.

You can shove most services behind cloudflare’s CDN with a bit of jiggery pokery. I’ve used netlify + cloudflare’s free tiers to great success a few times now.

Yeah honestly either solution is a solid one

The guy above you gives great advice. Set up SWAG, then the only ports you’re exposing are 443.

Once you have that set up, look at adding something like authelia. This will give you 2FA on top of those apps meaning even if someone guesses the password and the URL to access them, they still won’t be able to.

Stash is a self-hosted webapp written in Go which organizes and serves your porn.

The rights to search sure are, but it’s more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.

Mozilla definitely needs to diversity better here, but the implication that they’re “funded by google” is completely misleading.
