    One thing no one will tell you HOW LOUD some HDDs could get under load. You may not want any of those disks around if you’re keeping your server around your living spaces.

    Just check dB values in the spec sheets.

    I find this comment pretty surprising because all my impression of Jane is about her influential activism.

    Anti-war stance, HWPC, getting arrested 3 times at 80+ years old for climate change, supporting LGBTQ+s since 70s etc.

    I know all these and I’m just a random guy from Turkiye.

    Soma.FM

    Surprised to see it’s not mentioned here. 24 years old internet radio, still kicking, over 30 channels with hand-picked playlists, almost all of them suitable for concentration. They are sponsoring Def-Con for years. Owner has a great Fediverse presence.

    Channels have very interesting concepts like Spy Jazz, Ambient over NASA’s mission broadcasts, Celtic Folk, Vaporwave, 80s Synthpop and my favorite SF 10-33 Ambient over San Francisco Police Radio live feed.

    This game feels like the perfect candidate for streaming from XCloud/GeForce Now since all those data doesn’t really need to be transferred all the time. And the game’s design can tolerate a bit input latency.

    It’s terrible with direct streaming lossless Dolby Atmos (TrueHD) streams, not only where it’s not possible but there are workarounds (AppleTV / Infuse), but also on each and every platform it’s being done by other apps (Android, Xbox, PC / Kodi).

    I only use it because I paid peanuts for lifetime premium and alternatives have egregious UX that I can withstand but my extended family cannot.

    I have to demonstrate to my friends every time how my MBP M2 blows my Ryzen 5950x desktop out of the water for my professional line of work.

    I can’t catch quite the drift what x86/x64 chips are good for anymore, other than gaming, nostalgia and spec boasting.

    I was there when Microsoft COFEE released on WhatCD. And it appears I’ll be there when the certain villains’s coke party released on RED.

    That being said, I left Spotify after 18 years recently because my money wasn’t going to artists I listen anyway. Bandcamp + SoulSeek + Lidarr is the way.

    You don’t even have to be using the strong contender. I’ve switched to Ecosia and my reach to interesting stuff increased tenfold. SearXNG also spewing what I’m exactly asking for.

    Android people here often have a Spec Champion phone… and a Daily Driver one.

    I only have a daily driver iPhone I bought 6 years ago and it can still daily drive me.

    Minecraft singlehandedly created a genre called “Survival”.

    I think most of the games around 2005’s Indie Game Boom created lots of brilliant mechanics that’s been copied still.

    Hey SteamDeck’ers, As we're all aware that Valve broke Remote Play on SteamDeck and hasn't fixed it yet. I'm seeing lots of people having their sound cut off few minutes into streaming, or having lots of ghost input with bluetooth controllers. However, there are two other options that work well, and sometimes even better than Remote Play. First, if you're using SteamDeck with a TV and have an Android or Apple TV, consider using the Steam Link app instead. It's still great! Second, you can use [Moonlight](https://moonlight-stream.org) to stream directly to SteamDeck. Find Moonlight in Discover (SteamOS desktop appstore) in Desktop mode. Installing it is just that easy. You will also need to install [Sunshine](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases), the Server counterpart as well on your PC. Moonlight is a great replacement to NVIDIA's now retired GameStream and works with any GPU with the help of Sunshine. In fact, it offers smoother visuals compared to Steam Remote Play, also offers HDR support on supported TVs. Happy streaming!
