I haven’t even tried it yet, but just from the video you can tell it’s going to be insanely good. I’m so impressed.

It’s the first bit of software I’ve seen in a long time where I took one look and immediately thought “Fuck me, I need that!”

I use Unraid for my NAS server and just on the off-chance I checked the Unraid community ‘app store’ and someone’s already created a Docker definition for it, published just today! The hype is real

I’ll be giving this a shot

Can claim “It even works with browsers from the future!”

Hehe, you might think that!

In actuality though, I’ve always been the one who had to sort the tech stuff. My parents got our first family PC when I was 10, and I was the one who knew the most about it. We got the Internet when I was 13, and I was the one who had the passwords and had to set it all up. Then when we got broadband, the router was actually in my room lol.

So yeah, I’ve always been the Admin, and Dad has always been the one who needed a limited account to protect him from himself.

Yeah. When the cloud has more control over your own files than you do, that’s not a feature, it’s a problem.

I switched my Dad to Linux recently, and set his account up without any superuser access. Updates have to wait until I visit once a week, but it restricts his ability to get himself stuck in any update-related tangles.

I’m so glad I don’t have to support Windows anymore because that was much less predictable for me. Like the time it decided to upload all his files to onedrive (despite him having no knolwledge of this, or what it was doing or whether he’d consented or not) and made the Internet unusably slow for 8 hours by totally saturating his meagre connection.

We make plans because we recognise from a logical perspective that it’s a good thing for our wellbeing to maintain social relationships, to have friends, to leave the house, and to do things.

But then when the time comes for the actual thing to happen, we are dreading it and don’t want to do it. This may be because we are sad, tired, depressed, weary, socially anxious, or any number of things.

If forced to do the thing, we will generally feel afterwards that it was worth doing, and happy about going, and proud that we did it, but also probably exhausted from social stress.

We won’t cancel events ourselves - again because we recognise logically that it’s a good thing to do and we should do it - But if it gets cancelled by the other party it feels like an absolute blessing. Now the day has suddenly been freed from all stress, and we don’t have to worry anymore - and we aren’t the ones to blame!

Let’s be real, cats are also capable of great destruction.

I don’t personally like Nintendo’s actions, but I’m not sure why this article is trying to imply Nintendo miscalculated and don’t know what they’re doing - as if bricking consoles will somehow lose them money.

From Nintendo’s perspective, turning the used market into a minefield of bricked consoles can only be a good thing, because it encourages people to buy new, and buying new is money in Nintendo’s pocket.

And the conclusion that people won’t buy the console for their kids because of this? “Sorry kids, but Nintendo are bad so we cant play your favourite Mario - you’re getting a steam deck instead!” Like heck! A small minority maybe, but people will generally buy their kids what the kids ask for.

Nintendo know what they are doing.
