Doesn’t it actually require you to sign up to an account on some app hosting platform, rather than self host it?

No.

Used to. It took a single registry tweak to enable it which was easily found, but still a pain.

Yayyy unsecured connections for logins.

Avoid detracting from the hosts bandwidth quota.

Hah! This is too perfect, well done if you came up with this yourself.

It’s got Taika Waititi’s fingerprints all over it. The same way that the Whedon era has his particular style of dialogue and joke setup, Taika has a similar style that’s very recognisable and overdone.

Mouth tape. Explained how much snoring affected me and the missus started using it. Cheap, simple, and the snoring stopped inside a week.

As for the dogs, stop rewarding then when they bark. Don’t feed em, let em out, whatever it is they’re wanting that they bark for that you keep doing. Sounds like they’ve trained you.

Sure! There’s zero likelihood of this ever happening, but in the weird universe where it does you can probably sue them for coming around and shaving your dog too.

Still waiting on rpmfusion to update. I wonder how long I’ll have to wait

Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex’s server goes down again?

I’m fine with that.

Because I’m not a whiney child having a tantrum, with no awareness of the practicalities of the world, trying to justify misdirected rage.

I’m not going to blame company A for something that was done by company B.

You do you, though.

Again, this was not Arrowheads choice. It’s forced on them by Sony.

Boycotting the game would hurt Arrowhead far more than Sony, and they were forced to do this. Like beating a dog because the owner upset you.

I would honestly love to see a series based on moonfall, like Stargate, where we fully explore who made the “moon” and what the implications of its true nature are.

This is a perfect time for the Christmas cracker approach - you’re unlikely to be able to pick a movie that everyone agrees is good, so pick a movie that everyone agrees is bad, and bond over shared mockery.

Space Truckers (1996) - Dennis Hopper, Charles Dance. Terrible movie with some wacky bullshit, cube pigs, neon space twinks, and a cyborg love prosthetic.

Moonfall (2022) - another classic from Roland Emerick where most of the movie is nonsense but there is a seed of a brilliant idea buried in there.

Mega Shark Vs Mecha Shark (2014) - it starts with a giant shark catapulting a fishing boat from Manhattan to Giza, and gets more and more ridiculous as it goes on. Featuring Christopher Judge in one of his less believable roles.
