Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.

The entire existence of computers outside the last five years…

Yeah, that’s crazy.

I guess all those $100 deals were used too.

So I guess at least used prices went down?

But I remember years ago a shuckable 12tb for like $120-140 on sale wasnt unusual on buildapcsales.

considering they’re used server parts.

That really should be in the title…

I dunno, I’m one of those people who never stops using a drive until it breaks, and they never really break anymore. Oldest in my current PC is probably 20 year old HDD.

So yeah, these probably are fine and will still last a long time. But for like $20 more you don’t have to worry about losing the data on it.

Edit:

Apparently prices just haven’t changed in half a decade or longer? I knew prices went up for COVID, assumed they went back down at some point.

Speaking of blocking…

Have fun pretending to be an animal tho, different strokes for different folks and all.

So what the point?

You just want your fetish pron to be more easily accessible for you even though most people don’t want to be exposed to it?

Cool, I thought you wanted an explanation, but you just wanted to complain.

Have fun with that

Sounds like your issue is people made serious communities on an instance that’s mostly fetish porn…

Other instances can’t federate with the sfw stuff and still block the NSFW stuff. Especially since there’s a lot of spillover and communities that aren’t technically porn are still NSFW.

Why be mad at the other instances whose users don’t want to deal with an insane amount of fetish porn and shitty porn adjacent meme subs when they browse Lemmy by /all?

If you want those serious discussions and don’t mind and the furry stuff, make an account there.

I mean, the guy who made vlc hasn’t charged for like 15 years now.

For most people the only time they open VLC is to view a file locally. I’m surprised they’re not also trying to become more like plex/jellyfin then pivot to ad supported streaming

I’m not saying they can’t, it’s a good feature.

My issue is when posts in random languages get the “English” tag as a default instead of just the language the post is actually in.

If people tried to use a can of gas as a fire extinguisher, it doesn’t mean the gas is broken, it means that it’s being used incorrectly

It’s supposed to…

But there’s a shit ton of non-english subs with both posts that also click English as default.

I use the “new” sort priority to try to find active participants

New is going to show you the posts with the least engagement… Seriously, that’s literally the worst way to go about what you’re looking for

Because it’s post that literally just got made. This isn’t reddit where 10,000 people are online at once and things take off quickly. Browse by “active” and you’ll see the posts people are engaging on.

It’s exacerbating the fact that cities in Europe are getting hotter.

But it’s not what’s causing it

If you block one account, and they made the top level comment, you don’t see anything. Even if 100 people replied in the chain.

It’ll just be blank.

Still worth it for extreme cases, but it’s not like reddit where you see everything else.

Yeah, the whole moon race was propaganda…

The main reason America went was so USSR couldn’t say they were first.

Everyone’s known this for like 50 years now…

If they were doing it for real reasons…

They’d have launched a few big ones.

Not just throwing a bunch of junk into space to beat a record no one else is trying to beat.

Although, to be honest I thought no one would be dumb enough to fall for the propaganda and think any of the stuff people keep bringing up in this thread was worth bragging about.

But I can admit when I’m wrong.

It’s a problem all over India…

Your have a “data science background” it’s odd you can’t handle a Google search if you didn’t like my choice of link.

Hey, another example of India doing something that makes no logical sense just for the PR and then gullible people thinking that just because no one else has done it, no one else could have!

Man, you all are making this easy

There are not many nations that can achieve that.

Did you get caught on a loop?

I’m not going to keep explaining the same thing to you over and over again and hoping you eventually respond. If thats the level of attention you need, just read my comment over and over again

TFA says India was the first nation to achieve Mars orbit on the first attempt

It’s not a question of if anyone could tho, it’s a question of why would anyone waste all that money for basically just PR…

To my knowledge no one has taken money from their starving citizens so they can light a billion dollars on fire. I still wouldn’t be impressed if someone did it, even if they get to tell “first!” after it.

I kinda feel like putting something in Mars orbit on your first try deserves some respect and recognition.

Again, just because no one has done something yet, doesn’t mean no one else could. They just choose to spend their money on something other than PR.

No my country can’t.

They can if they stop paying for what the vast majority of the world considers basic decency.

I am. not even Indian. I reckon what ever he’s doing affect me the same way it affect you

Lots of people care about starving children…

Not everyone is a psychopath.

But it’s pretty telling you keep repeating Indian propaganda while claiming you live in a different country you won’t disclose. Even though I never said the only people falling it were from India. In fact, I’ve said Modi did this explicitly to trick people from other countries.

I really don’t understand what you’re saying at this point…

It’s like you’re halfway understanding my comments and just know no matter what you need to defend Modi
