  • To give an update, I did end up getting a Shield because I really want enough horsepower to have a proper, smooth experience. I got the non-pro version and saved a little bit with that, since I mainly just need it for streaming media from a NAS.

    So far it’s been good, though I did also find out that some of the stuttering was probably caused by having subtitles on and using the LibVLC player instead of exoplayer (or automatic selection that was apparently choosing it?). I still had stutter on the Shield when using LibVLC in combination with subtitles, though I think it might have been less pronounced. As soon as I either disabled subtitles or changed to exoplayer, the stutter was gone. It’s still a little early to say for sure, though. The general UX and lack of UI navigation lag has been great.

    I will also say that I feel like the image is just… different. I think the contrast is bigger and blacks are darker, despite making sure I’m on the same picture mode (from TV settings). I can’t really say that it’s better, just different. Might just be in my head too, honestly. I should compare the two at some point…

    I might come back again even later to do another report. :)






  • Why couldn’t you build a “read only” connector? I mean sure, wires conduct both ways obviously, but diodes and other one-way conductors are a thing right?

    The other point of only putting the implant in the place it’s needed and where it can’t make you see and hear things seems valid too.

    I’m not saying there wouldn’t be other risks and issues with the whole thing, but I feel like the “they’ll put ads in your brain” thing is kind of a ridiculous fear.


  • Seems like a really stupid ban. Unless you’re overly online and/or up on the latest trans discourse in the US, calling women females is at worst a little weird, but ultimately innocuous. Could easily be an ESL issue also.

    Now if there is good reason to believe OP is intentionally using it in the weird incelly way, sure that’s bad. Although unless OP is like intentionally missgendering or otherwise harassing people with the word, I personally think it’s way overkill to police it even if he does mean it in the incel type of way…

    Edit: Oh wait, I’m slow. The punchline is probably that the “female” in question is either a man or trans. Yeah in that context the probability that OP is intentionally being weird is probably much higher…

    I agree. I’m also a bit of a completionist by nature so it’s doubly as painful since I can’t just do the main story…

    I have gotten a bit better about it in the last few years to be fair. Though sometimes I relapse and realize I’ve wasted 80% of my free time that day doing mediocre side content.



  • I’ve been doing basically the same thing on a QNAP NAS slowly as I find time to learn.

    My current setup is NAS with a docker running Jellyfin (Plex alternative that is FOSS and also better in my opinion). I setup a reverse-proxy via https to Jellyfin on the NAS.

    I have VPN+Prowlarr+Radarr+Sonarr+Lidarr+qBittorrent setup on my PC and uploading locally to the NAS for Jellyfin.

    I have a domain purchased and using DDNS to point the url to my IP, though that doesn’t appear to be working properly right now.

    So as is, it works quite well at least on my local network, but when I find the time I’ll get the domain working so I can properly login to Jellyfin remotely with it. Then next up is moving the torrent setup onto the NAS in it’s own docker stack.

    My NAS also has two physical network interfaces so I’m also going to setup the other one to be exclusively a VPN connection so I can let different docker stacks use different network interfaces. (VPN for torrent docker stack and non-VPN for remoting into the NAS or something. I’m not sure yet.)
