I edited my original post right when you replied, my bad.

I dunno if you can do that much remotely, honestly. I kinda feel like something might have corrupted? What kinda system are you using? Any more details you can provide?

Does your router have an app or way of letting you remotely see if the server is even showing on your home network?? It could be a physical disconnect or Ethernet port failure, or NIC failure maybe? A reboot wouldn’t help if the issue was related to something like that.

Edit: Actually, re-read your post and thinking about this again, what I said wouldn’t make sense…

You could have some sort of corruption causing an error in the appdata, preventing it from running. Might be a RAM issue.

I get that. And I self host the things I care about. But for the average layman? I don’t see self hosting as a real option. Unless you are decently tech savvy, and have an aptitude for troubleshooting, most people aren’t gonna put in the time or effort of initial setup. Even if maintenance is minimal once it’s running. That first leap into self-hosted is daunting.

I think of it this way… would I expect my dad to be able to do it? Absolutely not. And my dad is decently tech savvy for 70.

Not familiar with the nextcloud side of things, but I just pulled all my photos from Google photos and imported them all to Immich. I’d imagine if you just have a folder full of images, it’d work the same way. During the Immich setup, you can designate an import folder. Point that import folder at your photos folder that you want to bring in. Once you have Immich up and running, you can use the terminal and run an import from the command line on that import folder. You’ll have to make an API key for the CLI to use, but you can make that in the settings. Immich doesn’t currently support mass importing from inside the UI, so this is the only way I’ve found to do it. The import ran fast for me though, went though 125gb of photos and videos in about 5 mins.

Anyone have any idea what any of this actually means?

I think the point I was more getting at is that the bullshit that companies do is extremely subjective, and everyone has their own different things that they feel are important issues. But you’re not wrong. There is a lot of BS to keep track of.

And I’m thinking that if it’s related to something you do actually care about, you should be digging into it. Plenty of people are trying to mislead people all the time, and it’s so easy to get swept up in fake outrage if you don’t actually stop to question things.

That’s why a bunch of people are angry at a consulting firm for a bunch of different game studios right now. Because somebody literally just made a list of things for people to be mad at.

Do you really need a list to tell you what to buy and not buy?

I mean it really doesn’t take that much effort to avoid those companies you don’t like.

Keeping a community list seems stupid, everyone has different things they like and don’t like, and the gaming community isn’t a personal army, despite what others might think.

Same boat here. My God it’s unbearable how bad YouTube premium is.

I don’t trust Google not to sneak in an unwanted payment. (Or a game fritzing out and doing a payment for me)

This doesn’t happen. You can just admit you don’t trust yourself not to spend more money.

I paid for it years ago when it was like $50 mostly because the interface was simple enough for my non tech savvy family to use.

Thank you for keeping things in perspective.

Well, fuck.

It was the firmware, you don’t need that. But you still need keys.

I just did this yesterday. Honestly, I don’t know if I said anything specific. I’d basically selected all the extra dialogue options I could before I selected the main one. Maybe it has something to do with the outcome of her quest line?

She gave it to me, I put it on, then I talked to the bartender and he made a joke about it. Then when I was leaving to meet up with Reed, some other lady made a comment on it as I walked past her.

Hope you caught up with her at the bar after the performance. If you’ve completed her quest in the main game, she’ll give you her headpiece from the performance. people will comment on it if you wear it around.

I moved away from chrome over a year ago, once they started talking about blocking ad blockers. Firefox works great, easily imports your passwords and bookmarks, and supports all the ad block extensions I like.

Google feels ok in doing this due to their dominating share in the browser market. In reality, the most influential users of their products will end up finding alternatives, and never coming back. These users tend to convince other users to follow. It’ll be a slow downturn unless Google ramps up their efforts, but it’ll happen.

My personal lore is that those were poor NPCs, using old tech. Or people who refused to do an implant because there anti aug.

Dark patterns are the bane of my existence.

My job has them for when people try to cancel services and I’ve been fighting like hell to get rid of them. But business is worried if people can cancel super easy, they’ll do it. It’s like they forget we have an actual quality product that people want to have. It ends up looking like an abusive relationship when a customer tries to leave. It takes one click to add service, but it takes a phone call and a transfer and a sales pitch, and then finally a scheduled deactivation at the start of your next bill cycle because God forbid we give you some money back.

I’m the exact type of customer who avoids businesses that do shit like this. And I’m not alone. If you make it 10 times harder to drop a service than you do to add a service, you should go fuck yourself. Gym memberships, monthly subscriptions, recurring monthly shipments with auto billing. Never sign up to this stuff without knowing what you need to do to deactivate. Or sign up with a preloaded visa gift card and a 10 minute email so you can just shut everything off when you leave and they can keep their bullshit account.
