I’m not at all a “never preorder” guy and will happily pre order games I know I’m going to like.

That being said this game will be the only GTA game for the next 1/4 of my life so I also feel no pressure to actually buy it on release.

Ngl this raised my blood pressure a few points

Supposedly you can’t use Calibre to remove DRM from Kindle E-books anymore since Amazon no longer lets you download the raw files to a computer. The only workaround I’m aware of requires you have a kindle device.

Of course you could find an alternative form of ebook acquisition

240 is not going to be athletic unless you are an above average height and/or are among the highest percentiles of athletes in the world.

240 is like the average weight of an NFL linebacker. They are athletes for sure… but that’s not the “athletic” body type you seem to be picturing. I think your concept of what bodies look like at different weights needs a little more calibrating lol.

For somebody who’s an average height, 170 and very lean/muscular is atypically fit and 240 is obesity.

We’re talking about the difference between six pack abs and regular trips to your cardiologist lol

OP also mentioned not seeing the increase in attention until he was below 185lbs which 55 lbs lower than 240

I wonder if this means their selfhosted server is finally production ready?

I had the opposite experience. When I was younger and a very muscular 170 I did ok with women. When I got older and COVID closed my gym I put on a lot of weight, about 240 at my highest, but being older and having figured myself out a lot more I have fewer women turning heads on the street but women I actually talk to were FAR more interested in me.

People have their preferences and I’m sure more people prefer fit partners over not, but often the biggest factor in this change you’ve experienced might not be the weight loss itself, but the confidence it gave you.

Relax, it is in fact just a media streaming application. It is an application that streams media. It does nothing else.

It’s a server application that just streams your media. You’d still need some kind of device to install the client on.

Lemmy is very popular with tech savvy people and tech savvy people are disproportionately represented in the furry community.

I wouldn’t say this fits the prompt. The liability is so high it’s straight up negligent to go into this without expensive E&O insurance.

Jellyfin is just a media streaming application

Must get very small, very quiet, require zero ongoing maintenance besides an automated update mechanism, and have a single unified UI across all apps that the user can’t easily escape out of.

Yeah and the experience just wouldn’t be very good. I have a lot of experience with mini PCs auto loading into web dashboards and it never works quite as well as you want it to

I’d like it to be sponsored by no one but the people that make it personally.

Looks very promising

People have been trying to do that for a long, long time, with various levels of success. There are a dozen options out there to try, but the scope of that kind of project huge compared to a simple streaming appliance OS.

I’ve never used it before but it sounds like you’re sorta describing NixOS? That might be an option to sorta Jerry-rig this idea together.

Yeah JF + Tailscale in one of them $20 Walmart Google TV boxes works well enough but like, I’d love to drop the Google part entirely.

One of the things on my FOSS wishlist is an open source alternative to Roku/GoogleOS/Apple TVos, etc. there are lots of FOSS apps on these various platforms, but those apps almost always have varying levels of quality and availability across them.

Right now the closest you can really get is media center PC, but what I really need is something relatively plug and play I can send to family members, preconfigured.
