Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn’t want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.
idk but I’m here.

Its this one. And the reason is that if steam sells a game at $10 and humble sells you a steam key at $5, steam gets no profit and is 100% responsible for the bandwidth when you donlload it, for hosting the page, for the market, etc etc. Basically steam doesn’t want to assume all the work with none of the reward. Which I don’t really see an iissue with.
Yeah, I guarantee you google isn’t interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?
I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.
It’s probably that lemmy is a much smaller community coupled with lemmy users likely being more tech literate, in general, than redditors. Not that people on lemmy don’t have questions but that they’re more self reliant. At least in my own case I often will spend hours digging for answers before I’d post asking.
“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
I actually can’t wait. And 3/22/24 is waaay sooner than I had expected.
Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It’s like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)
This is it for me. In particular as my hobbies shifted to self hosting, linux, and my own privacy, I find that lemmy is an incredible source of info and insight. But I’m not really here to meet or follow individuals as much as I am things that interest me.
Of course its innovative, imagine the room this clears up for more ads.
I had been using Ghostery Dawn for ages. Got the pop-ups. Couldn’t get around them. Switched to just firefox with ublock, no more ads. Can confirm it does work.
Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn’t realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.
Makes sense! Thanks for saving me some time and money. I have gig internet as is so I know both my router and switch can handle it. Should be good with what I’ve got then for a while. Thank you kindly :))
I generally do prefer containers. But I’ll be sure to stick to them as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!
Ahhh well then I should be good on 1g. Thanks for saving me some bucks though :)
Ohhh yes. If I wasn’t down for hiccups I would have given up with nginx haha. Figuring out how to make the damn admin place for pihole not require /admin took me waaay longer than I’d like to admit haha. At any rate though. Learning is half the fun :)
Thanks for the reply! Yes, having a clear upgrade path was a big part of this. Just being able to move forward when needed without replacing stuff for a bit.
I’ll have to look at jellyfin I haven’t dug too deep on the media host yet. Thanks for the heads up :))
Looks like 4 sata headers. So prolly gonna grab some hdds.
As for my network. I have a decent router, though I can’t remember the model at the moment. I’m using a 1gig switch at the moment to split everything through my network. I’m planning to get that upgraded to a 10g next.
Apk support. Saves you having to get LDplayer or something. Would be great if you’re developing android aps.
But yeah the juice isn’t worth the squeeze in this case. I’m not switching till 10 goes eol and even then there’s a strong chance I’ll fully switch to linux instead.
It can be. I’m actually headed there in 4 days. Tickets this time around were definitely higher than usual but I managed to get them for $940 ish. Not ideal since the whole family is going and my bank account is hurting. Also not ideal was having to choose a 3am flight with a trash layover in dfw… but fingers crossed cheap shopping while were there makes up for it.
Bold of you to assume that you’re not the one in the mirror.
