As the time passes more and more it seems that the popularity of Pirates is decreasing, I was a teenager in 2010s and invested a lot of my time learning Torrents, Pirated Game websites, identifying good sites, educating others about piracy, etc. But it seems with the recent crackdowns and trends I feel there might come a time...
I think that most groups that have ways to circumvent DRM for direct rips keep it close to the best, which is why you don’t see direct rips aside from more popular titles much anymore, and by very few groups.
My gut here is saying you have a mismatched combo of how Coreboot is treating these, and how they are written. From what I’m reading, Coreboot should support Legacy, UEFI, or SeaBIOS, so go set that in the BIOS setup, then make absolutely sure your disks are being written as such (NOT mbr). Ventoy should be the tool to use here for testing different distros out, so good on finding that.
Want to lay down a few of those reasons? Hard to tell with all the marketing hype WHAT exactly this distro is unique for, and why people should bother trying.
I’m not here to shoot down your comment in response, but you are confusing a few different things here. My point was just to demonstrate how the actual cost for streaming from a provider when you throw all the extra junk they do on top of it. You can have very reliable, distributed systems without all that mess, they just choose not to go that route. Selling a user subscription is just the beginning down a rabbit hole of upsells, price hikes, content lures, marketing gimmicks, data capture and sale programs, Ads (for a service you already pay for in most cases)…it’s expansive. Each one of those things has a team behind it making decent money.
If they just wanted to stream things they could with much less cost and effort, AND make money doing it. It’s been done before. They all just choose to go the route of squeezing their audience for every last ounce of possible monetization they can, which costs a ton of money.
Hey, friend. No need to get mad. I’ve worked on these exact systems I’m describing for years, which is how I know these things. They suck. It’s not about k8s itself, you’re focused on the wrong part of what I’m saying.
You want to just stream files to people cheaply and quickly, these companies don’t do that anymore, and that’s the choice these companies have made. They’d rather scale their engineering resources to the microservices that nickle and dime the shit out of everyone. That’s just the facts.
No, I’m saying that Netflix WAS a streaming service only, and then created a scenario where they constantly need more money and can’t support their own business practices by incurring an insane amount of debt by complicating the platform and spending a small country’s GDP in creating new content. They WERE making money, and then went off the rails and now need to constantly raise prices.
I’m not sure what you mean about the CDN, but aside from Amazon and Google, none of these streaming services are caching at edge for the actual video libraries. Instead, Netflix specifically has tiered replication of their entire library in various AZs around the world tailored to each regions most popular content. You can see this at work by watching your network traffic hit different endpoints for something like a popular new title versus an old and rarely watched title.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Netflix is $13b in debt. That is THIRTEEN BILLION USD IN DEBT. It’s a fact. The streaming arm of the company was the only profitable part for about two years when they first started it.
As far as their tech goes, and you can Google if you want, they would make more money per customer if they dropped the other bullshit, and just focused on streaming content.
In all seriousness, streaming could be profitable for these companies if they just didn’t layer bullshit on top of bullshit on the backend. Dozens of k8s clusters, hundreds of stupid microservices, and engineering team to manage it all…it’s insane. This is BEFORE all the idiotic choices they make greenlighting new content that costs a ton of money.
If they just wanted to make money on streaming, they could without the extra bullshit, and just charged people for sending content across the wire. This is just not what any of these companies are doing anymore, and we’re paying for it.
www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.
Well then you know what the problem is already, so I’d start digging into configuration settings related to audio, and see if there are any plugins for whatever your sound server is.
I’m honestly just now hearing of it. Sounds cool, but I feel like I’d only use it once every 6 months just to see if it still works on specific things. Will keep an eye on it.
Light on details, but would be interesting to see what range of devices and OS versions this works against. Should be easy enough to ban devices that are spamming automatically as a counter measure.
I know the question is rather awkward at first and I am possibly overlooking something, but I would like to know something I really don’t understand....
Listen to the internet stations that are local to you, and have actual programmers daily. Some of the bigger ones in the US are KCRW, KEXP, WFMU, and any college radio station. Places that have guest bands come through and play a bit so you can hear how it sounds outside of a studio are the best in my opinion.
I downloaded the game from soft32 (this file used to work on the old days). I installed both WINE and Lutris, but the game runs like sh**t. I get .NET and Vulkan errors from Lutris&WINE. Can you give me a newbie friendly guide for the right way? I’m tired of scrapping the web and it doesn’t help that I have limited data....
Edit: For those who stumble across this with the same issue, I eventually got it working by adding “default-runtime”: “nvidia”, to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting the docker service and Jellyfin container....
If you’re just running a simple media server, you don’t need the bleeding edge Nvidia driver. Just install the packages that come with Ubuntu. If you’re not used to Linux in general, here are the easiest steps to do so: phoenixnap.com/kb/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu
Be careful with your solution. Ever other container you launch will attempt to access the Nvidia runtime, which gives access to the GPU. This may have unintended consequences, versus just running individual containers with Nvidia runtime set, and gpus=all set.
