- Comment on Is there a good way to import/export/migrate playlists between platforms? 17 hours ago:
Last time I used it (been a while though) it was free, if you only transferred playlists up to 200 songs

Yea. Humans never needed an excuse for violence.
Or rather, we always found an excuse, religion is merely one of them.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 1 week ago:
Game dev salaries have increased roughly in line with inflation though, so development time still costs the studio the same as 15 years ago, while AAA game prices are only now starting to surpass the $70 mark with games not generally surpassing the $60 mark until 2020.
It’s a wonder, they haven’t increased to prices any sooner, as much as I‘d like them staying where they were.
And again: if you don’t like the prices, vote with your wallet, buy used or on sale or don’t pay at all.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 1 week ago:
Yea, I don’t generally disagree. Especially if you‘re someone who plays games for hundreds of hours, instead of dozens.
But $100 is still a lot of money for a lot of people. I‘d have to save up for months for that (I’m a trainee and have less than 1000€ per month for rent, food, internet, gas, etc.), so I rather wait until I can get games cheaper.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 1 week ago:
Eh, there‘s some truth to either one. Game development is expensive and pricing hasn’t kept up with inflation ($60 in 2010 are almost $90 today). But also, games are ridiculously expensive at full price, especially in todays economy and especially if they’re as badly received as Skull and Bones, while Nintendo games are at the very least usually pretty decent.
I’d recommend voting with your wallet and only buying games on sale or used. Just wait a little. (Or pirate them, if you can live with not supporting the developers at all).

Yea, the renault twingo of my ex-fwb felt borderline dangerous above 130kph while in my workplace’s Mercedes B-Class, my comfortable cruising speed is roughly 160kph with 200kph still feeling perfectly in control.

- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 1 month ago:
Glühwürmchen definitely refers to the flying variant. Might also refer to non flying species but I’ve never seen or heard anyone talk about any of those. The term is probably just used for any type of glowing insect, no matter if worm or bug.

What solutions? Especially what solutions that don’t cost me money and are not overly difficult to implement?
- Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together 1 month ago:
Well, I do want to actually use it though and have my friends be able to use it just as well.

That’s only local (unless you‘ve set up your pihole to be accessed from outside your home network already). Locally you can easily access jellyfin from any device
For remote access to Jellyfin you will need your public ipv4 address or a domain that points to it. Since in most cases your public ip isn’t static (unless you specifically pay for that), you’ll need a dynamic DNS address that regularly updates the ip address your domain points to. In case of duckdns you’d have a url like example.duckdns.org that always points to your ip.
If you are unlucky however and only have a public ipv6 address (Dual Stack Lite; highly depends on where you live and what provider you have). I haven’t found an easy free solution to still getting remote access. The easiest I’ve found is getting a domain from cloudflare and using their tunnel. Worked well and I happened to have a domain already. Streaming media via Cloudflare’s tunnel is technically against their tos though.
There are probably more elegant solutions but I have switched to a different provider since, which does offer an ipv4 address so I didn’t need to look into that any more.
- Comment on Plex ending support for Watch Together 1 month ago:
Not without additional configuration. You’ll need to forward jellyfins port in your router and get a dynamic DNS address. That’s not hard to setup though and there are good free dyndns providers like duckdns.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator 2 months ago:
Exactly. $100 is a lot of money, however games are cheaper than ever these days (adjusted for inflation) and $100 for no micro transactions sounds fair.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t buy it at that price either. I‘d wait for a sale…

Always have my phone on vibrate unless I’m expecting a call that I really don’t want to miss. But I also don’t get called randomly that much.

- Comment on Anon's PC works 3 months ago:
Yea, a used PS5 disc edition here is like 400€ vs 500€ new. It’s not a huge difference but it’s noticeable. For 400€ you probably won’t get a decent gaming PC, let alone one that can match a PS5.
And what you’re saying is fair, if you start from scratch. 500€ PC + 500€ Console might as well be a 1000€ PC. However, if you already have a 10 year old PC (like GTX 970 class or similar), upgrading that to current gen spec isn’t gonna work but it’s still fine for a lot of older and less demanding games and for day to day stuff anyways. Makes replacing it a much harder sell, since you’ll be lucky to get 200€ back if you sold the old machine.
Not saying that this makes sense for everyone. I myself would rather scavenge used part deals on the web but that’s not viable for people without the technical knowledge.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 3 months ago:
If you don’t play online and have the patience to wait until you can get games used or deals, consoles can still be worth it.
I’m a PC gamer but the only games that I play online are in the realm of Minecraft, FallGuys, Raft or Stardew Valley which would run on almost any machine. I also don’t really play shooters or strategy games so there’s basically nothing I‘d need a mouse n keyboard for either.
I have even thought about just getting a PS or XBOX but I ended up upgrading my PC a little to near PS5 performance with a used cheap 5700xt for a little more than half the price of a new PS5. But if you can’t do that and would have to build sth from scratch, keeping your old PC and getting a console might be worth it. Even more so, now that you can get good deals on used current gen consoles.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 3 months ago:
Yea, for general computing a lot of older PCs are very manageable. I have an old 2008 unibody MacBook laying around that I had to use for a little while a few months ago and it was perfectly usable on mint. Even felt a lot better than a lot of newer machines since apple built them like tanks and their trackpads back then were so ahead of their time they easily beat out a lot of brand new machines.

Well, they haven’t so far removed denuvo from a single game, even those that have been cracked already. Ubisoft is big enough, that they might have their very own deal with Denuvo

On hiatus, apparently. Hasn’t cracked anything since July 2023. Not sure why.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Feature Denuvo & Account Linking + EULA also requires you to allow Ubisoft to "monitor" your RAM 4 months ago:
Thanks to denuvo and there currently not being any active group capable of cracking denuvo, it’s not a guarantee the game will be cracked. Assassin‘s creed mirage took until last month, over a year after release, for a pirated copy to be available and it uses a debug executable, which may not become available for any other games or at least not in a timely manner. It might not be possible to play those games without the BS. Or on Linux, if it doesn’t run without kernel access for RAM monitoring
