It tracks pretty well since it’s probably going to wrap into puss in boots’ return which was…some time? It’s kinda arbitrary, and doesn’t need to follow a previously established story. The most recent PiB story was surprisingly well written and executed, and a return to the more classic fairy tale/fantasy tropes instead of the “nursery rhyme/kids stories” focus of puss in boots but with the uplifted writing the franchise as a whole has seen over time would be nice
Does the docker container have gpu access for transcoding?
Starting with a consumer NAS is a good spot, they come with a lot of upfront features that are designed to be easier to use for someone who isn’t already familiar with them. I have a synology and it did all the things you describe without issue (other than struggling with transcoding video in real time) and eventually graduated the heavier tasks like media and proper VM hosting to external secondhand mini PCs while still using the NAS as a network drive to store the data. The NAS itself includes docker and an easy to use repository browser that I use for things like pinhole or WLAN controller software, it has an onboard torrent client (which can use RSS and regex to automate downloads), and it has some other light hosting services, which it’s quite capable of. Starting with “just” the NAS and adding external devices as your use case shifts is always an option. Keep in mind that the best way of upgrading a NAS’ storage is leaving a bay open and upgrading disks one by one without having it do a “hard” rebuild from parity data, so 4 bays at least is a good starting point.
If you want to start with just an off the shelf NAS as an all in one device I would recommend making sure it either has or can take additional RAM (no such thing as too much), an NVME cache (more optional but nice) and an intel processor (quicksync transcoding, though the low end cpus will definitely still struggle with trying to turn 4K into 1080 for a stream). I’d be willing to bet most of the consumer NAS devices will all support docker at this point and have similar built in feature sets. Some of the newer models will support onboard 2.5gbe which is nice but probably unnecessary for a single user or family.
External access would be more of a job for your router/firewall which would use PAT to forward connections to your internal network, so that’s outside the scope of your NAS unless you’re building a true all in one box that acts as the central hub of your entire home network.
They’re outright stating the account itself is transferable if you are entitled to it, but that some content attached to the account won’t be, depending on EULA and transferability of individual software licenses.3
Waiting when picking someone up, waiting when charging, waiting because you couldn’t go inside with them (at least during Covid), waiting because they had to use the bathroom and tou don’t know how long it’s gonna take, waiting for an employee to bring you stuff (“curbside” pickup), waiting because you had to show up early in order to get a parking spot but the place isn’t open, lots of things
This almost certainly depends on where you are, I can reliably get normal prime shipping or even same and next day for 99% of non-specialty items
Not that Amazon making service worse for some is acceptable, but that it’s not universal
The only thing it’s missing is dedicated video decode hardware (which is mostly a convenience) and an equivalent to shadow play. Otherwise it’s a great alternative to a 4080/S
I bought a 7900xtx and have been VERY happy with it.
They did this back in 2022 as well, was nice
The concept of “simultaneous” breaks down over relativistic distances too so that’s equally fucked
Poe’s law
I feel like dweeb and dork are reversed here
The only real complaint I have with helldivers is the controls are a little muggy. They put out a polished product with good options that isn’t so paywalled as to be difficult to make progress with but still gives them a revenue stream to keep the live service, which actually adds value beyond “play the game”, running.
Isn’t the OLED more of a gen1.5? It’s mostly a screen upgrade
Some algorithms might be able to be written as formulas but generally no. An algorithm is a repetition of steps to achieve a desired result and does not have a fixed way of representing itself because it could make different decisions along the way in different situations.
A sorting algorithm is not a formula, for example. Formulas are mathematical or logical expressions that can be evaluated.
I don’t even mind the concept of a ghost kitchen, if you don’t want to manage a front of house, fuck it, do pickup and delivery only like so many pizza places do, or run a delivery only brand on top of your existing brick and mortar to avoid contaminating expectations between the two, that’s fine, but just like everything else it gets labor exploited to benefit the owner class by running a dozen “restaurants” out of the same kitchen
Pihole also has a docker distribution, so it’ll also run easily on “appliance” NAS solutions with minimal effort
Interest rates and depreciation make that a losing bargain, better to get the utility out of it now that the trade in is low and interest rates are high
Rather than making money, the deprioritization of a copyright claimed video can cost a channel a significant amount of views and potential subscribers, so even if you’re not making money off that specific video, it’s still a significant impact.
Romance novels are porn sure, but there’s usually at least some semblance of a reasonable story with actual characters and the sex is peppered in where it makes sense (even if that may be more than would be “reasonable” in a non-romance story.
