I don’t use steam, but I did a quick search and I don’t see many articles of them removing a game you’ve paid for from your library without giving you a refund. Even then you can add games not paid for on steam, into steam so I’m not sure your point. You can add a disk game into steam.
OPP (Ontario Police) pulled over someone for speeding 2 days ago. Kind of surprising I haven’t seen the article yet.
Self-promotion posts advertising their product requires community participation, or they will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. **F/LOSS Exception**: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & can be self-hosted *in full* without payment, your post is exempt from this rule.
How about
Promotional posts advertising a product requires community participation. If more than 10% of your history is promotional it will be removed. F/LOSS Exception: If a project is completely open source and can be self-hosted in full without payment, it is exempt.
Edit: we’ve come full circle. Let’s just do ‘don’t be a shill’ and be done with it…
Promotional posts require community participation or they will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. **F/LOSS Exception**: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & without any paywalls, it will be exempt from this rule.
To me, this says, if you’re posting something behind a paywall (F/LOSS or not) they’re going to look at your post history. If you’re a shill, it will be removed. If you’re someone who self hosts and just wants to talk about self hosted apps, you’re fine.
Said another way, if all you do is post promo content it’s not welcome here. If it’s a one off then post it.
Look, if you don’t like the rule, make a suggestion to the mods on how to make it better. The spirit here is we all love learning and using new tools paid or not. If you want to share something new to you, like Plex, I’m 100% sure its fine. Post, promote what you love, start a conversation around Plex. The problem is if you only ever talk about Plex and promote it. It gets old FAST and it’s not a community I want to he apart of.
Symfonium is another paid example. Amazing app. Even with the new rules we can post about them. With that, I don’t understand your original complaint.
If you’re not pushing your paywalled stuff, it doesn’t affect you, does it?
Yeah, I understand that. I was suggesting saying the same thing without the exception wording. In the end, it doesn’t stop us from talking about paid software. I use Plex, etc, etc, it’s the promotion that’s the problem… That being said, maybe I’ve misunderstood non_burglar’s complaint. Unless they are a closed source dev looking to promote.
I think that’s the important distinction to make. Maybe get rid of the f/loss exception and explicitly call out the paid aspect. If you’re here to promote software that’s pay walled you get the 10% rule.
ETA: I’m fine with the new rules. Just trying to find common ground.
If someone gave me 21billion I bet I could only lose 1 billion, return the 20, and never be seen again.
This was my thought too. I’m going to wait and try and buy a used one, assuming some people will buy it, use it for a week and look to sell.
I’m on 500/500 because my firewall throughput is about 700Mbps. I could go up to 3Gbps symmetrical. However, I have not been able to find any non-enterprise level hardware that supports above 2.5Gbps.
I’m curious if anyone here has hardware recommendations that isn’t the provider provided stuff that can make use of >1Gbps
These laws are not going to do much in my eyes. It’s usually cheaper for big tech to pay a fine and any kid who puts some effort in will get around it. I started drinking when I was 14. I’m mid 30s now. I’m of the opinion that most of this is a parenting issue more than anything else.
You can use the host file to point matrix.example.ca to 127.0.0.1 or whatever endpoint you want to try.
You could set up a docker container with cinny to try a different app. https://cinny.in/
I don’t like elements so I avoid it, not sure what to suggest there.
I’d try on the PI against the service port to remove all the extra complexity. If that doesn’t work, fix it and move on to the next layer, fixing as needed until you get to the end.
Install docker.
Choose something you want to replace. Docs, image, chat, etc.
Research replacements for $Service
Bring up the docker Container and get it working.
Use it for a day/week as the replacement. If you don’t like it try a different replacement from the list above. Continue until happy.
Research a replacement for $OtherService
Bring it up on docker…
Check resources as you go. Maybe use Linux + docker on laptop and NFS from nas for storage. When the laptop isn’t powerful enough anymore look at adding another docker host. Just keep building from there.
Also backups. Maybe a wiki to document your journey.
The last paragraph feel more like the authors opinion, which is a bit weird on an Android website.
I agree with the EU on this one though, I hate walled gardens and the EU is doing good work.
Or do the udm 14 trick
Thank you for using TiB.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
I almost never play games but I’ve bought a bunch of physical copies of games I want to play. There’s already SO MANY good games I haven’t played yet that If new games are digital only I’ll either go back to older consoles or piracy.
