They’re not deep thinkers…

It’s not much, but 30 votes is 30 votes!

A truly open world, with no boundaries at a scale never attempted before. A massively varied and dense planet filled with immersive biomes, unique enemies and valuable resources to discover.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh about that

No dedicated servers yet.

EDIT: dedicated server files have now been released.

EDIT2: They changed the terms of self hosting. It’s crap. I’m getting a refund.

…the construction project was appropriated during the prior administration and the law requires the government to use the funds, with an announcement made earlier in the year. “We have repeatedly asked Congress to rescind this money but it has not done so and we are compelled to follow the law,”…

Some of those comments are vile. Oh, foxnews… makes sense.

Hopefully being a community thing and not a corporate thing will help. I think people will be less likely to steal, and more likely to rat someone out for stealing.

Shit, seems like we actually should have just given everyone a bit of money every other week instead of giving ‘loans’ to business owners and hope they didn’t just pocket it… whodathunkit

It’s a gateway for stupider things.

So far…

I have a similar setup except I’m using Jellyfin instead of Plex.

For hardware, it’s a Ryzen 5900X, 128 GB of memory, 1 cheap SSD for the OS, 2 1TB NVME drives for fast storage, 2 2TB SSDs for normal storage, and 4 20 TB drives for bulk storage. 1 cheap GeForce GT 710 for video, and 1 Nvidia T1000 for transcoding.

For OS, I’m using Proxmox. I have a few VMs, but mostly everything lives in LXC containers.

For the NAS part, I have the hard drives mounted as a raidz2 on the Proxmox host, and I pass access through using LXC Bind Mounts. The pair of SSDs are in a mirror, and same with the pair of NVME. Game servers live on the NVME, and everything else on the SSD.

Game servers that run on linux run in LXC, otherwise I have a windows VM. I’ve never liked running game servers in Docker.

I also have Proxmox Backup Server running on the Proxmox host itself.

Make sure your closet has adequate ventilation.

It really depends on what you use. There are tools that will extract the different data streams inside the containers and you could add them to a different (compatible) container… However if you use some sort of converter tool, it may just read the data stream, decompress it and decompress it again which would under the best circumstances lose quality to it’s size.

There are 2 separate concepts I think you may be trying to merge into 1.

There are File Formats (also called Container format), like Audio Video Interleave, which is commonly identified with the .avi file extension, and Matroska Multimedia Container, which is commonly identified with the .mkv file extension. They define the structure and organization of data within a file. Ex the audio data starts at offset X, the video data starts at offset Y, en_us subtitles start at offset… etc.

Then there are Encoding Formats, like AV1, h.264, HEVC. These are algorithms that can be used to compress video for storage within a file and decompress the data within a file for display.

So I’m trying to get some info about an upcoming medical procedure. I wanted to make sure I get a balanced view so I asked 2 doctors, 2 people who once took a first aid class once at summer camp, and 2 who believe vaccines cause autism.

I’ve had success with trivial things, like write a log file parser with this pattern, or give me a basic 3 part left-right-center header in html. Works ok for trivial side projects. I would never trust it in production. Its a tool, nothing more at this point. Like an electric drill, better than a hand crank, but you still need to know how to use it.

The ice isn’t to cool the water, the ice is to reflect most of the incoming light.

Sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a much brighter surface compared to many other Earth surfaces, particularly the surrounding ocean. The darker ocean reflects only 6 percent of the sun’s energy and absorbs the rest, while sea ice reflects 50 to 70 percent of the incoming energy.

For me it was all the screaming.
