Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

Except it clearly doesn’t produce the same result every time. You’re not making a good case for whatever you’re trying to say.

Postgres doesn’t need that much ram IMO, though it may use as much as you give it. I’d reduce it’s ram and see how performance changes.

Why no real db? Those other 2 features make sense, but if the only option you can use sacrifices the 3rd option then it seems like a win. Postgres is awesome and easy to backup, just a single command can backup the whole thing to a file making it easy to restore.

I agree with you.

Though I would say that the grid software on its own IS useful. It’s useful to developers, otherwise they wouldn’t use it. Saying it’s useless is like saying a hammer is useless because it’s not a house, it’s only good for building a house (among other things).

1 is just not true sorry. There’s loads of stuff that only work as root and people use them.

About the trust issue. There’s no more or less trust than running on bare metal. Sure you could compile everything from source but you probably won’t, and you might trust your distro package manager, but that still has a similar problem.

It was never released for Windows

I use a k8s Cron job to execute backups with Kopia. The manifest is here

I just, uh, borrow them from a friend to see how they work on my rig, nothing else will give you a better representation, everything else will just be a guess.

Hi Tim

Each instance is available on someone’s localhost.

Draw me like one of your french wombats

If you already have it, it looks like Plex can do it with https://channels1867.rssing.com/chan-55464362/all_p107.html It’ll probably get you most of those features, though it probably won’t be as nice as something purpose built. But if you already have Plex it might be nice to have all your stuff in one place. Alternatively you could probably setup something to download podcasts to your server into a folder that Plex watches.

That makes sense. I think the reason why they’re not represented as files is pretty simple. Data integrity. If you want to get the comments you just query the table and as long as the DB schema is what you expect then it’ll work just fine and you don’t have to validate that the data hasn’t been corrupted (you don’t have to check that a column exists for example). But with files, every single file you need to parse and validate because another application could have screwed them up. It’s certainly possible to build this, it might be slower but computers are pretty fast these days, but it would require more work to develop to solve the problem that the database solves for you.

Yeah it’s very different these days. In the past DLC was just content (like extra levels) and people don’t expect that in the new game (maybe more levels than when the first game came out), but now DLC usually adds features as well as levels and people want all the features in the new game too.

I think the difference now is that DLC adds features, and so people are upset when the new game is missing features from the old DLC. Where in the past, say with Oblivion or Skyrim, it was just more story, maybe some new skills, in one case there was a new feature (house building) and their newer games do include that feature. But people don’t expect the story line from the DLC in the new game.

Features in DLC feel different these days. In the past DLC had a more limited scope, and you looked forward to the new game for new features. But now if the new game comes out with less features it can be a bummer for people used to the old game. There isn’t really a great solution because I don’t think it always makes sense to add all the DLC features in the new game.

That would require that DLC to work in the new game. Which would limit what you can do in the new game to make it compatible. Not going to happen.

It’s not plug and play, but Open telemetry is the self hosted way to go.
