I don't see my beloved 5060ti. looks great though

totally. I'm really getting behind the slight replacement of TL;DR to AI;DR If you can't be bothered to read your own AI slop, then I'm not reading it either.

I solved this by running a music stream. All songs i "like" are in a collection, and ices/icecast randomly select one song after another (i can also request things via discord bot) and i just fire up VLC and listen when i need music. Yeah its a little too random at times, but its also fun.

Vfx Every commercial, movie or TV worked on would have the assets used to create the content archives.

My day job (company died a couple of weeks ago). We had > 100,000 LTO tapes in the end. With data archived way back in 2002 until present. We were still regularly restoring data. In our busiest years we were doing what averaged to 177 restores per day (365 days a year). Barely any physically destroyed tapes.

I see a few articles citing robotic failures as a big issue, but really someone can just place a tape in the robot if critical recovery is needed and the robot has died.

That's actually something I've always wanted. Thanks, I'll take a look

I'm currently using icecast and ices to host a music stream. It'll effectively stream music to a port, and multiple clients can enjoy.

Anyone doing something similar, I'd like to migrate to something more modern.

I currently host icecast/ices. Does your above options allow multiple clients to listen to same stream. I see it mention jukebox mode.

Its blizz like. Last time i played was only some of the weird raid quests that we're a little iffy. But you could easily load this up and not notice it wasn't blizzard hosted (except on one about!)

I've hosted this software server (with and without mods) for friends and family a few times. Its pretty solid and the mods help bring additional fun or to fill in the gaps of low population. If you love WotLK, i'd recommend it.

kung fu chaos time! Such a great game, a little insensitive perhaps...glorious sofa multipleyer game though I kept that disk hoping they'd backwards compat it for many years

They often have a couple of servers with no setup.

I still go back and play crescent hawks inception every few years. Love the game

azerothcore is probably the best and most polished, if you don't mind wotlk

sshagent | 2 years ago | on: Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner

You were likely unlucky with the client you used. I host a small server for family and friends. Some seem to go great (browser, roku, android(to an extent)), but others seem to have a whole myriad of issues. I've ended up just putting a roku in the hands of people i give access to.

This echos my thoughts precisely. I clocked up a lot of hours 2004 to 2009, and more casual for a couple of years after. I feel you have to really commit to this game to get the real fun out of it. And sadly i don't have entire nights free to dedicate to games any more...so I'm done with it. I still miss it, even now...but i know that ship has sailed.

foundry is glorious. Dungeondraft is an excellent companion for quickly creating dungeons and exporting to foundry.

I also first knew this as repton. Massive nostalgia from even playing this.

sshagent | 3 years ago | on: My manager spent $1M on a backup server that I never used

I'm sorry, but this comes across as exactly the same kind of bias as the author. "my knowledge of windows sysadmin methods means Unix methods are crap".

I'm afraid it's horses for courses, it's always been. We'll all pick our own preferences of course,but let's not assume total superiority over "them".

You did such a great job they still try and steer people this route. I've multiple times mentioned "you know we don't need to emulate tape drives any more"
