Riot Games to lay off 530 workers amid broader gaming industry cuts in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (3 children)

What is it with corporations just buying stuff up for excessive amounts of money and then firing a bunch of people?

Unity spent $1.6 billion on Weta Digital and then did absolutely nothing with it, fired most of the Weta people, and are now doing mass lay offs. What's the point? Why buy it all if it's just going to be shut down and then fire people?

I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second..

What (free and open-source) applications do you use on a daily basis? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don't feel as good for my purposes).

LibreTorrent

Not that there's anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

I'm betting this person is either underage or has their life financed by their parents.

"Hows your mental focus?"

"Oh its focused. I says it's, uh, I thinks it's, uh, I - I haven't - look. I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, even to my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as as being as old as I am than fly. I mean it's just not, err, uh. I haven't observed anything in terms of - there's not things I don't now that I did before"

Self hosted browser IDE that supports C# and runs on Windows (lemmy.world)
 

My server is still windows based, which I know is a bit of a sin at this point, but just bear with me please

There seem to be a few options avaliable, but I can't figure out if they all both support windows and C#, and a lot of the information I'm finding is linux specific.

Why? Well, I like to make little roguelikes and card battlers on my phone in pure c# code, it's a fun way to pass the time that isn't doom scrolling. A lot of my free time at work is spent sitting on a boat just waiting with no access to my PC

I've been using a C# ide on my phone, but Android as become such a fucking nightmare, most stuff seems locked down for some reason, and I can't access the local files to sync with syncthing to move it my PC when I do want to work with my PC.

So I'd like to use a browser based solution that will just store everything locally on my server

Sonarr not working? (lemmy.world)
 

It downloaded one episode of one show, so I know it's configured properly in that regard. It is connected to Ombi, qBittorrent, and Jellyfin.

Not sure why it's not fetching the rest of the media? Again, it got just a single episode of a single show and that's all it downloaded. I was hoping it would go after whole season downloads rather than individual episodes

Anyway to approach this issue?

File size preference for Radarr? (lemmy.world)

I only download 1080p unless it's something like LOTR that I'll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn't need spectacular visual fidelity.

Just downloaded a 44gb file for a 1080p version of Forest Gump, and I'm just kinda not interested in filling my hard drives with excessive file sizes. Noticed that some other films are 20gb and 13gb, etc, still way too big for what they are.

Any way to maybe have radarr have a file size preference? Like, for 1080p I don't need it to be any bigger than 3gb, and most movies can be 1.5gb and be fine

Edit: I have to say, I asked a beginner/basic question and no one here has tried to belittle me, or come at me with hostility, I've only gotten helpful advice. Thank you all!

I screwed up when I made my home server, just curious if there's a way out of the corner I've backed myself in (lemmy.world)

I work away from home for weeks at a time, and I hurriedly set up my server on my last day at home last month

I got a free PC, and a 10tb HDD. Lenovo uses a stupid special cable to run sata drives off the motherboard, I didn't know there were two sizes, bought the wrong size and said fuck it so I installed windows on the same drive and same partition I now have 4 tb worth of media

Now I want to move to Linux as my server OS, I got another PC that actually has the ability to run multiple HDDs

Can I access the files on this drive from another OS? Is there a way to keep these files without transferring it all to another HDD?

Remote Desktop solution that works without a monitor on host PC (Windows) (lemmy.world)
 

Windows user here, please don't shoot me

I'm in need of a remote desktop solution that works without a monitor. I've tried AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and TightVNC.

All of the stuff I have need of using has a GUI client or dedicated software, but I'm about to be away from home for a couple weeks and I'm worried it might shit out on me for one reason or another and need some manual input (any one who has ever used a computer knows that this happens sometimes)

I have OpenVPN on my router and that's how I'm accessing everything, so a local solution will work, and it would be nice, but not necessary, if it's got an Android client as well

I have Windows 10 Home so I can't use remote desktop that's built into windows without installing a cracked pro version of window.

I really feel like the reddit Godot community just sucks ass. (lemmy.world)

There's so much negativity and fighting and shit talking in the comments over there. It's like some people have a personal goal of making others look stupid in comparison to themselves and they just try as hard as possible to rub it in if they know something you don't.

I really feel like the latest Unity migration brought over a bunch of chuds because the three Unity subs were like that before I switched to Godot. That subreddit is literally the only reason I still visit the site at all at this point and I'm just about done with it.

I was hoping more people would end up here, but this place isn't nearly as active. I do plan on posting more when I make some more progress in my own projects, but I personally don't have a whole lot to share right now.
