I am going to try and leave this world like I never existed. I have deleted my social media accounts that had my real name, and pictures. I have deleted all my dating accounts that had my picture. I deleted all of my google accounts that had my real name attached. I never have and never will take a dna test. I want to leave the world like it was before I existed.
I don’t care what happens to my data after I die. I have left many contributions on Reddit, and I’m building a healthy amount of interactions here. I also ran a successful game server a long time ago and stuff about it are still out there.
It’s about what I want for my image personally. Like, some people want statues and monuments dedicated to themselves. I want the opposite. Which is harder to achieve these days than you’d think.
The truth is that I don’t have a reason that makes sense to anyone other than me, but I’ll try and explain it.
I am a stay at home parent, and I drive a lot. Taking kids to various places. I decided that to support various local businesses I would leave google reviews. So, I started doing that, and they started doing really well.
After a while my phone started sending me notifications. It would be from google and would say something like “We see you went to X shop 2 days ago. Tell us about your experience. That kinda made me feel gross.
I started thinking about how much information we give up involuntarily, and don’t get it twisted. I don’t think that I’m “special”, or that these companies are after me specifically. But where I go, and what I do, and what I look at, and who I am is my business.
I know that I’ll leave some stuff behind. After all I’m on the internet right now. But, I’m going to support that system as little as I can and still be comfortable.
Up to you, I guess I don’t really care how I’m buried for example, but I’d certainly rather be dumped in the woods rather than embalmed and have a plot etc
I could get behind natural burial. Ask a mortician on YouTube is/was one of my favorite channels.
But yeah I don’t care what happens to my body. I’ll probably wind up in a potter’s field somewhere. Which is fine by me. Though it does seem like a huge waste. Like if I’m no longer using my body. It seems like they could at least feed it to some animals or something.
I would recommend you look into Saltbox, which seems to align with what you are looking to do and should take considerable heavy lifting off your plate.
The solution to the rclone issues you discuss is to use a union mount, and cloudplow or similar to automatically shift files to the long term storage location, while Jellyfin will continue to see content files spread around servers in one mount location.
you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later
I couldn’t warm up with mechanical keyboards for that reason, even the low profile ones were way too much travel for my taste. Cherry has recently released mechanical scissor switches, but the keyboards with them are very expensive.
I remember when virtually every single game allowed you to play a ‘Demo’ for free, so you could find out exactly what the gameplay is like in any game before playing it. They often came in my cereal boxes as a kid, or free to pick up at the checkout. I still have a cool CD from the 2000s which has like five big studio name Demos in one.
Now that’s Pepperidge Farm Remembers. Or did I out myself as too old?
I think you’re misunderstanding what I mean. Early Access is a newer term for getting paid access to a game early. Open beta is an older term but was used for free access to a game early for testing purposes. They used to have different meanings which is why early access was created as a new term to distinguish it from a beta. Calling paid early access a beta is intentionally misleading.
Early access is a much newer term, an open beta used to be a period of time you could play a beta build of a game and then give feedback to the developers on how to tweak it so they could take that information and build it out/QA it before release. Like Halo 3 before it launched, when you could apply at Bungie.net for access on Xbox live.
Then eventually the term “beta” just became synonymous with “demo” as the “beta’s” started coming out within time periods that were unrealistic for the company to actually make changes to for the release date, and had no structure with which to give the developer feedback. Why? Because it’s not a beta, it’s a demo.
Early access was popularized after game devs began realizing that people would literally pay for a game that wasn’t finished and might never be, essentially game development as a service. Thanks Star Citizen, for showing people you can make millions with a tech demo. Now broken on release and months of patches to get the game in the state it should have been on launch is the standard, because people keep buying this shit on launch day.
