I mean if I’m at already someone’s house who’s got the game on I’ll watch the sweaty dudes in tights, just not for the game.

Does VLC report this? Kinda seems like the sorta thing that only works on actual players.

HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.

I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.

Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?

No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.

Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.

I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.

Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.

Oh yeah no you can rent out a vps and use it as a VPN/router appliance. I’ve done that before for other projects, just figured it seemed a lil overkill here.

People are saying switch to jellyfin, which I’m all for. But you’re expecting a service which will make remote access easy like Plex ur kinda fucked.

I mean if have to set up wireguard or whatever for Jellyfin you could just do the same for Plex?

Again go to jellyfin either way, proprietary software can suck my gurl cawk, but either way you need a VPN or open ports.

I mean the OG team who’d been together since MoH Allied Assault all the way through the early MW games, only to then make Titanfall are no longer with respawn.

They’ve been for like half a decade. Whatever magic that company had has been long gone.

Also if you want to feel old, Titanfall is basically the chronilogical half way point between allied assault and now.

So however old the quake 3 engine felt in 2014 is how old that game should feel now, eek…

I mean that’s not shocking. Its basically where pokemon was like 15 years ago.

Which funnily enough puts early versions of MC at about the halfway point between now and the release of Pokemon Blue in 96.

There are kids who grew up on Minecraft who’s kids are now playing Minecraft. Its on damn-near every platform, and sells well everywhere its sold.

Not Epic’s first rodeo with KB+M fps controls on a console either :p

One of Sony’s best-ever PlayStation ads is a 21-second video titled, “Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video.” It’s a “step-by-step” guide about how to lend your PS4 games to your friends. It has one step: one person hands another person a game box…

…But more than a decade later, it’s not hard to imagine a future where Sony’s own ad doesn’t apply anymore

What a gut punch!

I like to run ufw on all my machines but I’m also a tinfoil-hat wearing wacko who believes that no computer should ever really be trusted. Just trusted enough to do specific tasks.

If someone somehow busts into one of my VLANs, at least the other machines on that net will still have some sort of protection.

• sftp for quick shit like config files off a random server because its easy and is on by default with sshd in most distros
• rsync for big one-time moves
• smb for client-facing network shares
• NFS for SAN usage (mostly storage for virtual machines)

Publishers and companies will always want DRM

Developers should refuse to write malware.
