  • Those are class 1.111B domains. I actually buy them a little cheaper, but have to do it one year at a time. It's only 6-9 digits though, not any string of digits

  • Never!

  • Cloudflare sells domains at cost

  • You do not have to port forward. In fact, I would suggest against port forwarding. There are other options to access remotely

  • I can't imagine moving over would be difficult. Just point Jellyfin to the same folder containing your content. When I first setup my home lab, I was going to use Plex, but I could not get it to recognize media. The naming format wasn't right or something. Jellyfin just worked immediately

  • the ability to easily watch or listen to friends’ media

    Why do you think this can't be done with Jellyfin?

  • That's not true. Sure, we have tribalism, but there's no reason it has to be about race. It could be about religion, politics, country of origin, and countless other things

  • I think your real answer is depression, since that's the cause of why you feel the way you feel. We haven't cured depression, but there are ways to combat it. Medical health professionals, medication, friends, mindfulness, exercise, etc are all ways to combat depression. When you're depressed, basically all seem impossible, but you just have to take it one baby step at a time

  • The files are pre-internet encrypted. Shouldn't matter who gets the backup file

  • I mean, I just use the scheduled backups and back it up to a locally hosted server. Though the scheduled backups just go to a folder on my phone

  • We're basically at least 50 different countries. It depends on which sub-country you're in to know how strict the regulations are. However, what is illegal on paper is very different from what is often enforced.

  • If I understand correctly, you're saying you wouldn't be able to catch them live? I understood basically all cameras to be primarily for evidence. There would be a level of deterence to some extent, but the cameras themselves wouldn't physically stop a break in. Even if you got a notification and the police came, theres still nothing stopping them from getting away before the police get there. My understanding of the average persons camera setup is not to have a 3rd party monitoring service call the police, or for them to be able to call the police, but rather to have footage of the event.

  • Perhaps self hosted wasn't the right term. What I was going for was locally hosted. It woulf be a single device with OS and drives all installed. It would not be affordable, but it's the only way to make it convenient

  • I think a good way to enable beneficial use while minimizing the possibility of harm is to avoid cloud based services as much as possible. Especially for residential use. If companies made a convenient method of plug and play self hosted cameras, it'd be a hit. But you cant beat the convenienceand price of another mega corp cheap cloud based security camera

  • But this seems like something that could be tolerated at the right price point. It's a price point they would never pay, but your reason for working it isn't a moral or ethical reason.

  • Not even an exception for the truman show?

  • He peaked in Parks and Rec

  • MC and Visa go, oh, hey, you’re violating our guidelines

    No, that is not how that would work. People cannot buy games that violate MasterCard's and Visa's policies using MasterCard or Visa. If someone buys the game using a different payment method, crypto or a direct bank link, it would not violate MasterCard or Visa's policies because they had no part of the transaction.

    Being mad at Valve is shooting the messenger.

    Being mad at Valve is reasonable, because they did not have to ban all games that their payment processors disagree with. They would need to remove the option to pay with those for certain games, and the process of filtering them out and deciding would take a lot of time, money, and labor. It's easier for valve to just ban it outright, but it is not the right thing to do. Valve is not the reason it started, but there is reason to be mad at Valve as well.

  • As of July 16, Steam's new guidelines state that game publishers should avoid releasing titles that may violate the terms and conditions of its payment processors. In other words, the storefront is asking creators to not only follow the platform's rules but also submit to potential oversight from companies like MasterCard, Visa, and PayPal.

    and from the petition

    MasterCard and Visa have increasingly used their financial control to pressure platforms into censoring legal fictional content

    Steam is enforcing MasterCard's, Visa's, and PayPal's policies. From Steam's Rules and Policies:

    What you shouldn’t publish on Steam: ... 15. Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

    Point number 15 was not there in a Snapshot from February on the wayback machine. If anything, the solution should just be to remove the payment method for those games (which would still hurt the creators substantially).

    There is a line that is confusing:

    In response to this censorship, some fans have launched a petition on Change.org urging Valve to revert its policies

    There may be petitions about reverting Valve's policy, but it's not the main petition against Visa and MasterCard (which is the one they linked).
