I’ve been into gaming since as long as I remember. My dad played halo 2 when I was a baby. First game I played tho was Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga.

I’ve always read 3+ back to back as a form of satire or sarcasm

As a rad tech, I work as little as 3 hours to as much as 8-9 on my 10 hour shifts

I guess that would explain why I never use other formats, the compression itself isnt important to me, just being able to send a folder of files without a bunch of uploads

Really can’t relate, I only use 7z and compress to .zip it’s literally the most common format and I never use zip files for anything other then sending files.

Honestly I don’t even know what the real difference between the compression formats are, even as a sorta Linux using geek

Sticking to FOSS and decentralized apps as much as possible. And using less invasive apps like Firefox over chrome. Be willing to jump shit when corporate throws in bullshit if you have to use something closed.

This is the only way to slow the spread of enshittification around the web. It will be less convenient for the end user, but ultimately it’s the only way to stop big companies from fucking the web

As an additional FYI, sunshine also works on MacOS/Linux so don’t be scared to try it

It’s a good solution for most, but if you are like me and need desktop access or anything else it isn’t enough

It is a display emulator that plugs into your GPU, that makes it think it is a monitor. They can be used for anything that doesn’t need a display, or in my case to turn off my actual display when I stream

My setup goes like this.

https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine - for the streamer on pc

https://moonlight-stream.org/ - for your client apps

https://github.com/hansschmucker/NVStreamer1080 - I have a Dummy HDMI plug that goes up to 4k60fps for streaming to my TV, this allows me to switch to it instead of my monitor when streaming.

https://tailscale.com/ - For remote access. the free plan will work well enough.

This combo works very well for what I need.

If you are like me and have a dummy hdmi and wanna switch to it when streaming this helps as well.

I get so confused by this cause, it’s been know from the start that shit causes cancer. Like we have known this for decades. Why tf are we know like hey this is bad. It’s always been bad.

I’m assuming cause it works good enough for most that the incentive to change it nearly none. Kinda the same deal with moving from reddit, works good for the use case that open stuff might be worse.

Coffee is a prime example of too much of a good thing might not be good anymore.

Coffee might be fine here and there but when people use it to replace good sleep habits or to general energy to a point of reliance it might not longer be fine.

Vapes def concern me, like you telling me no chance of long term effects?

I tried it but had issues with offline content, does it work now?

If you don’t mind using Xbox Media Player you can enable dlna in jellyfin. It’s how I typically stream to my smart tv

The player I use for it is symfonium and it can do instant mixes. Genre tagged based tho, so it can be a little wonky but it gets the job done for the most part

Currently using symfonium, does everything I need at least. Can’t speak for plex since it been years but it has most of the things you need, offline playback, playlist downloading and syncing, casting, supports transcoding etc. Plus it works with plex already so you can try it out (it’s free for a week then paid iirc but it’s well worth imho)

Too little to late imo. I long switched to jellyfin and can use all the features that plexamp offered for free in various apps of my choosing
