I also use an air mouse with keyboard Like this

I run a linux HTPC that runs Kodi so once it’s configured, you can just use the arrow buttons to navigate, not just the air mouse.

I always liked racing games combined with violence like Carmageddon and Twisted metal! Others along those lines are RC Pro Am, Spy Hunter, Road Rash 3D.

$200 for a refurbished 20TB drive on Newegg

The new ones were on sale for $270 so around $10-15 per TB. The best I can find is $40-50 per TB for SSD. Certainly not 7times more expensive but more like 3-5.

Scrub! Hopefully they can try again tomorrow, looking at 03:20ET

Glad to know that others still love this movie! Bill Paxton nailed his Hudson character to a T! This is the apex of 80s movies that cross over between action/comedy sci-fi/horror genres and still tell an awesome story! H R Gigers alien designs were also creepy as fuck and on point. Hats off to James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver as well, and even Paul Riser nailed his sleazbag corporate stooge character. There is not one bad scene in this epic movie!

I get the preference to be able to block communities and instances easier, but to me it’s against the whole censorship resistance that Lemmy is about. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/05-censorship-resistance.html

This is a community site that tries to cater to everyone and everything. That’s why there are the options to only view the local instance, subscribed communities, and all is for everything. The price of censorship resistance is that it takes extra time to subscribe to communities of interest and to block things that are not of interest, and things are still more cluttered than they need to be. I get the desire to get through that filtering process faster and easier, but Lemmy and the other Federated services are still in Beta, are running on volunteers and shoestring budgets, and are dealing with with some other major issues. I think that over time the things people are asking for will get implemented, but it will take longer than on other corporate entities. You may want to transition to a smaller instance from Lemmy.World that fits your interests better and doesn’t have as much of the content that you dislike. Also, try be patient, continue to subscribe and filter to your likes and dislikes, and if it’s not there, maybe take some time away from Lemmy and check back again in a few months.

Port forwarding, got a good deal, reviewed well. It exports Wireguard and OpenVPN files easily, so you are not tied to their Eddie client. I’m happy with it so far.

It feels like 20 years ago migrating from large chatrooms to bulletin board forums with a smaller more specialized community like setup. Posts and threads don’t instantly get buried, and there don’t seem to be as many assholes looking to pick a fight.

I see that by scaling down, some of the the more niche forums don’t get the traffic, but that will likely change over time. I’m digging the integration with Mastodon so links to people and articles don’t have to flow through Twitter. It minimizes having to sift through tons of ads to read what I want.

I also like the region based instances like lemmy.ca and midwest.social having communities and news that is of interest to those regions. It would be cool once more countries have their instances / communities.

Reddit had a good idea with having subs, but many of them got too big to be able to have meaningful discussion for many people. What is the point of trying to comment and engage in a topic that has 5000 posts? Lemmy hopefully can solve that by having the same community in different instances to keep the size where more people can discuss topics in a smaller more engaging setting.
