Free I recommend jellyfin and use finamp, but I don’t know it will have all the features you need (yet).

If you’re willing to shell out some money then Plex does all of what you need, and it’s hard for me to think of anything that comes with PlexAmp, which requires PlexPass (subscription or one time lifetime purchase). The organization of the music is really nice too, however I run everything through Picard musicbrainz first anyway

LetMeThinkAboutIt , to selfhosted in Thank you for all the help!

That’s an impressive stack you were able to build. How long did it take you?

I spent a lot of time googling and on youtube, to get a basic understanding for what I was trying to achieve, 2 weeks of after-work time at least. If I should guess 40-50 hours in total. Getting a single piece to work, by following a tutorial can be easy but to get all the things working together was a struggle. Once I had a better grasp on what a reverse proxy is and how docker containers work together in networks, pieces started to fall into place.

Another reason could be for test market. For example, some products launch into smaller places as a test bed to see if they will be successful at a larger scale. Some websites and services start this way as well.

TopHat , to gaming in What’s one of your favorite game soundtracks?

Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one’s not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).

just throwin in another anecdote that XIV has had one of the best game communities I've experienced, even when the game gets pretty stressful in endgame content.

evilviper , to gaming in Phil Spencer announces Call of Duty deal with PlayStation

I doubt any company would want to give their competitor 20-30% of their profits, so in my mind it isn’t a matter of if, but a matter of when they start locking all their franchises off from PS. What will be most interesting to me will be how will they do it. Will they just drop franchises so they don’t have to face the backlash for turning a franchise into an exclusive? Will they just make up a new “franchise” with a new name but similar gameplay? Will they just slowly one by one exclusive them off to try and reduce blowback? Do it all at once to get it out of the way?

This generation has already been mostly played out and I don’t see large changes making a large difference, but once the next generation comes around in another 3-5 years I imagine they will want to be in a place where they can leverage all these franchises to get people excited to buy their new box over their competitors. And you do that with exclusives.

PenguinTD ,

Pull a Titanfall to Apex(bad example but you know what I mean) now you don’t really have a CoD franchise. It’s like Battlefield is no longer the Battlefield we remember, just the names. They can just spin up another franchise “from the legendary CoD developers, blah blah…”, BUT it’s not CoD.

CmdrShepard ,

Honestly the franchise is probably due for a shakeup at this point anyway. You can only release the same game over again each year for so long. I used to be a diehard Battlefield fan but have only played maybe 10 minutes worth of 2142 after owning it for 6 months or more.

Good thing Microsoft is known for taking popular IPs and making them better and not beating a dead horse until they shrug their shoulders.

I’ve been saying this about COD for forever. The thing is, they shake it up just enough to stay relevant. They’ll remake an old title, add BR, mess with movement. If anything, FIFA and Madden are enough proof that you don’t need to change the formula. As long as it continues to print money, nothing will change.

Vordus ,

Meanwhile, Minecraft trundles on as a multiplatform title 9 years after its acquisition. 🤷

evilviper ,

minecraft also a large number of things going for it.

  1. It was(is) a single game
  2. It was already multiplatform, and only the most suicidal company would take a game that was multiplatform and make it exclusive. Not including the backlash as players lost access to a game they paid for, but there would also be untold number of refunds that would need to be done, lawsuits (most likely) to handle, etc.
  3. It already had a very large (and most importantly) young userbase that they could monetize on dozens of platforms.
  4. If you followed the proceedings of everything that is going on you’ll have read that they actually wanted to make the new minecraft legends xbox exclusive. While the emails didn’t say what ended up making them change their mind, I would imagine being in a certain legal fight might have played a large role in it.
  5. Exceptions happen, but I imagine that exception would be the appropriate word rather than norm. But I’d love to be proven wrong.
RoadieRich , to ukcasual in Didn't realise that windmill blades are serrated

It reduces the turbulence at the trailing edge, reducing noise. Bernouli’s principle dictates that part of the force on the blade is due to the airflow on each side moving at different speeds, if the crashed into each other all at once, you’d get a lot of turbulence, and hence noise. The serrations ensure that the two flows meet over a longer distance, reducing said turbulence.

tburkhol , to selfhosted in Selfhosted tool for editing data trees

What you’re describing sounds a lot like LDAP, but it could be I’m just triggered by “schemas.” LDAP would be the backend; there’s a whole slew of LDAP browsers, but none of them really seem like they’re targeted at users.

aesir OP ,

I never looked into LDAP, I will do so now, thanks. Hopefully there could be something out there starting from the right keywords

tburkhol ,

Most of what you’ll find is user management and system administration, because LDAP is a common backend for user authentication &c at larger sites, but there’s no reason it can’t store arbitrary data. openldap.org slapd on the backend and maybe directory.apache.org/studio/ on the frontend. But since it’s built around user authentication, it has layers of security and access control that really complicate understanding the actual system.

aesir OP ,

I see, it gets complicated enough for me, I cannot imagine for some of the other users I would like to target… I will probably look into it as a last resort. Thanks

supermurs , to showerthoughts in Why the fuck do cars still have analog speedometers? Surely digital ones would be more accurate and much easier to read without looking away from the road for too long.

My friend has a newish Nissan Leaf electric car which has an analog speedometer. That baffles me since everything else is digital.

lancelot_the_ocelot , to nostupidquestions in What is the point of geo-restriction?

On top of all the legit reasons here my former, itsy bitsy company geo blocked everything not US/Canada because our customer base was entirely US based and that wasn't changing. The only traffic we got from overseas ips was looking for vulnerabilities. So why not just block it.

sheilzy , to nostupidquestions in Why do people steal the tip of the air compressors?

I’m going to innocently guess it’s because the tips are small parts put under duress and with more use, the looser they become and just… Fall off? And then they aren’t seen on the ground of the station because people drive over them and they get scattered or smashed on the street. Of course I’m still learning to drive (in my mid-twenties) and my family members who are licensed are more often the ones who get work done on our cars. I also live in a state were self-pumping isn’t that common.

As others have answered your main question, I'll just point out that on Firefox you can search through your open tabs by adding % before your search. I imagine the other browsers have a similar feature.

pacoboyd , to gaming in What's the most toxic game community you know of?

What I think is weird about folks hatin on the Genshin Community is it’s essentially a single player game. There is no community really outside of social media. I would say social media is the problem.

@kehtea@kbin.social avatar

This! I've always had super friendly interactions with Genshin co-op, even when searching through the co-op tab rather than looking online (aside from one kid I had to kick because I was not going to buy them a welkin lol). The only time I've come across problematic behavior is through social media. It's also very popular so of course on twitter and reddit there is going to be a large loud volume of immature people, but that's most games. In game people are usually good.

pixel ,
@pixel@beehaw.org avatar

even around the game people are good provided you aren’t broadly exposed to it via tiktok/twitter/reddit/twitch. Some of the smaller genshin discords have been really helpful and sweet and full of good people. But honestly I think there’s just a critical mass where communities like that kinda blow up so that’s not a genshin problem so much as that’s a “so many people in one place at one time” kind of problem lol

It tells me they are used to cuddly friendly fandoms. They've definitely never played real toxic games like Mordhau or anything Paradox has made. There are games that are legit >50% neonazis and avowed racists.

dandroid , to gaming in What's the most toxic game community you know of?

Pokemon. If you like pokemon, then it is your fault that pokemon sucks now. Even if you agree with them that it sucks, if you don’t agree with them exactly what sucks about it and how we got to the point that it sucks, which games started sucking, then you’re a fucking moron and should be banned from the community.

I know most fandoms hate the media that they are allegedly fans of, but I haven’t seen a community hate the media (and each other) as much as pokemon fans.
