Seconding Beelink. I have one of their SER boxes as my solution to smart tv and it works great

The nice thing about torrents is how lightweight they are. If one thing goes down, ten mirrors of that thing can pop up to take its place.

Nothing. It’s fine. I can’t fathom why people are out here paying for their piracy. Seems like it defeats the purpose. I still find everything I ever want on the same sites I’ve always gone to.

It’s above your pay grade. If I were you, I’d reach out privately and suggest that the customer seek a competitor’s product that has the features that want, and tell them that there is no desire within the company to support free software or self hosting.

Yeah my 2016 build still holds up pretty well. It’s a 970 and 8gb of RAM (but I gave it a big swapfile) and it’ll still run basically any game. I’ve never much minded medium or low graphics settings anyway

I bought it rather than upgrading my gaming PC which I built back in 2016. So it’s my primary gaming machine now. I use it every day.

But it’s less than 15,000,000

Oh shit, that was turned on. No idea why it was though, as I normally use per-game profiles. Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe you could, but the whole point of the steam deck is the ability to play any PC game, and most require mouse input to play well. Most people would be unwilling to make that tradeoff

Every single one of the competitors I’ve seen makes at least two of the following mistakes, each of which means they don’t stand a chance:

• Windows
• Display resolution > 720p
• No trackpads
• Awful layout

Lots of organizations use “Open” because it has positive connotations in people’s minds. They aren’t trying to suggest that they specifically follow the FOSS philosophy.

See also:

• OpenAI
• OpenTable
• Based on a cursory DDG search, dozens of other companies with open in their name, including a crypto exchange, a publicly traded tech company, etc.

I don’t have a dedicated torrent machine. I sometimes use my phone. Sometimes my gaming PC. Sometimes my TV’s PC.

From reading the readme, it appears yt-dlp is actually the one that’s a fork. It says it’s a fork of YouTube-dl.

I’ve heard of both, only ever used YouTube dl. Not sure what the difference is

Are you savvy enough to search the internet for a guide on how to do something technical, evaluate if the guide you find is right for your situation, and then follow that guide to do the thing? That’s basically how I set it up for myself. You don’t need to understand the deeper workings of stuff. If you’ve ever modded a video game before or troubleshot a software issue, you’re probably savvy enough.

FVTT does all of the things you mentioned here out of the box. No need for tinkering.

That’s just because the admin didn’t make sure it was updated before game time. I have never had that problem because my server is always on and I connect to it a couple hours before game time. Also I never update the software before a game.

I can’t help you with a cracked version, but I can help you make your decision and tell you it’s very worthwhile. I bought it 5 years ago and have probably used Foundry for hundreds of hours (at least 500 hours based on some quick mental math) with different groups for a total of a dozen different players.

It requires a bit of tech savvyness to learn initially, but just from reading your post I can tell you’ll be fine. It blows every other competitor out of the water. It has a massive community of open source mods which augment it in various ways. Most game systems are also FOSS projects with large communities of developers supporting them.

It’s like the Linux of VTTs, though that’s not a perfect comparison because Foundry itself isn’t FOSS. But it’s highly configurable and moddable, and it really rewards an admin who likes to tinker, while at the same time being very usable right out of the box.

I use it sometimes, but tons of creators apparently DM their content to their subs rather than posting it, which doesn’t show up here.

If I’m trafficking drugs AND abusing kids, do you really think I have the time to also be the sysadmin for a major piracy website? Abusing kids and trafficking drugs is already a full time job!
