Ah, thanks for correcting me there. I knew that EA were involved at some level and I didn’t think to research that part of the post I was replying to, so I stand corrected, but I think the main point I was making is still valid, that the team that initially developed the game weren’t behind this re-release.
The original was EA, this re-release is Aspyr, so as bad as EA are I’m not convinced that they’re to blame here.
Haha, that’s fair. I was being sincere.
I’d initially scrolled past thinking “I played this whilst I was still at Uni, why is anyone talking about it now?”
Now that I know this person’s focus is intentionally looking at older games I’m willing to go and give it a watch.
Thanks for that additional insight into this channel. This completely changes the way that I will now look at this content.
If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn’t work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252
I got the pro version, but there’s no reason that you can’t get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don’t know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.
I’m going to choose not to answer that for two reasons…
But yes I’m in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I’m hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.
Ah, fair point. I don’t use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn’t need to factor into my thinking.
My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.
I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)
I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.
If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.
I don’t have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?
Edit: ooft, that’s a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can’t contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.
Interesting, I’ll try again from my desktop when I get back home again. I guess it’s possible that it’s my phone that’s the problem.
Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you’re a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.
For torrents, you’ll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.
I get the impression that you’re new to the whole *arr set of applications.
Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you’re asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.
Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers
I’m not so sure about that, as I’m getting an error whenever I try to hook jacket up to the account I just created.
I’ll post an issue to the jacket issue log when I get home though after trying again I case there’s a delay in creating an account and the passkey becoming usable.
I think it’s a relatively recent thing. As the documentation for each of the *arts has a relatively recent minimum version number I think.
Here’s where I went when looking for whisparr, but just replace that with the arr you’re wanting to use and it’ll give you decent steps for getting your database created and migrated into it: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/postgres-setup
I chose to take down my production instance of lemmyz do a cp -r of it, update the docker compose file to specify the new version numbers for Lemmy and lemmy-ui plus change the port that the stack exposes and do a docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d on that stack to check to see if it could all work. Thankfully it did, so I updated the production compose file and tada! I’m on 19.0 safely
Answer the call 2016!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I’ve not tried this myself, but how about mounting the volume using sshfs?
https://simplytim.io/mounting-a-sftp-ssh-share-as-a-volume-in-docker-compose/
This is of course assuming that you’ve got ssh access to the VPS.
I’m currently mounting volumes using cifs and NFS, but I don’t think I’d be too keen on exposing those to the internet at large.
An alternative to torrenting though is Usenet. It takes a bit of setting up but there are some nice advantages. No worrying about needing to seed back and you’re not going to need to worry about a VPN or your ISP forwarding on threatening letters. Sure it costs money, but I think I pay about £45 per year and I don’t regret that one little bit.
Just took a look at my profile, registered on 27 June 2006. So it’s in my 15-20 year window that I mentioned
I know it doesn’t help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they’ve updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I’ve gifted to my wife) And I’m liking the look of the new design.
I’ll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren’t doing a great job.
Edit: here’s a quick photo I’ve taken to try to show the new crossbar thing in action.
