Anyone that was around while Reddit was growing will remember that there were few subreddits to begin with. I think fediverse needs that to happen before expanding.

I don’t know how to fix it. Maybe sub-feddits need to be pruned if they aren’t thriving. Maybe tags in titles would be more helpful until they have enough content to warrant their on category.

Pay for that?

$. Almost every reason for shutting off boils down to lack of financial support to keep it running.

If I wanted to do this today I would use iTunes and an old iPhone as the mp3 player. I would use an old laptop to rip, or iTunes to purchase.

I manage storage systems as part of my day job. i think you would be happy with a simple direct attached storage device. You’d need a storage controller card and a storage controller. These are usually enterprise-grade items so they might be expensive. I suspect there are SATA options but SATA is pretty slow.

QNAP and Synology are decent for what they offer, if you like the idea if turning it on, setting up an account, and then having access to both native and an easy 3rd-party store with no fiddling needed then they are a good idea. You can also setup an iSCSI connection for direct-attached storage over the network.

It’s used for out of band management. With the correct hardware items (nic and gpu) it’s called vPro. With the proper certificate and supporting infrastructure it can auto-enroll into a management service such as SCCM. It allows companies to remotely view logs, bios settings and other items. With vPro it can include a complete remote KVM solution.

You can disable it from most UEFI settings interfaces without worry of causing other issues.

It’s the websites with ads that heat up my phone so much it hurts that are the problem.

@postmalone you’re a NERD

there is a lot more to modern firewall app detection than ports. My Palo Alto has a specific category to detect and block dns over https.

It’s trivial for me to detect and block dns over https with modern firewalls.

Consoles will never go away. Even Xbox, effectively a pc, exists.

I suspect it’s because of controllers, ease of use, and cost.

Would it heat up the oceans: yes.

Significantly:no.

If this pans out it would be a lot better than what we are doing now.

I’m talking out of my ass, but software devs rarely think about scalability, backup, and high availability.

The school may have edu licenses for a macOS hypervisor product that makes it cheap or free. The teachers may recommend something. Ask the school first.

With how government vehicles are driven, a throttle map could do a lot to improve efficiencies.

A “legacy” game, where your contributions to the game continue even if you’re logged off, meted with an mmorpg

It could be anything, but my idea is something like cities:skylines. Interconnected cities or areas each with a mayor or admins that direct the goals of the area…

Then the 2nd aspect of the game is more like GTA, where people interact with the areas.

The areas could be like San Andreas, but then you could walk to the edge and it becomes more like a village from Warcraft. Or maybe an area is filled with ghosts and most of the goals in the area are delivering packages. Or maybe there’s an area like Sanctum 2, fallout, or any other idea. It would be up to the admins/mayors to figure out how to design it.

The game would fill in gaps in city creation for random encounters, etc. the in-game players actions would have some effect on the area itself.

I would expect the game to support itself through a combination of ads and subs. Companies could pay to have more control over what advertising exists in their area.

PIN messages, and later BBM, was a great messaging app. It just needed a windows client to take off. I never understood why they couldn’t make that happen.

You want to use as little space as possible tonsave on cost.

A server with ipmi is ideal.

A hardware vpn firewall is a good idea.

Do you need to provide your own router or switch?

A significant amount of trade skill knowledge and examples are tied up in YouTube. Does anyone remember building a deck before YT? You would go to the library, make copies of books or magazines that had a general idea on how to do it, then you would try to do it yourself and things would go wrong constantly.

There’s a lot of this type of stuff that would simply be lost. It’s not unusual to find videos from 15 years ago that are still relevant today.

100% agreed on all points.
