If you don’t feel llke spending money just run a SHOUTcast server on your home PC/homelab/personal server, plus a small web server to serve as the front-end, and that way you can avoid paying the monthly fee for AsuraCast entirely (plus royalty fees).

How valid of a solution this is depends entirely on whether or not you care about things like 4K, Full RGB (4:4:4), Dolby Atmos, HDR, etc. If you do, the laptop’s GPU and the TV both must support HDMI 2.1 or higher, or they won’t be able to handle the high bandwidth demands of modern home theater display formats. (You need a decent high bandwidth cable too, of course.)

Thankfully OP might be in luck. I just looked it up and it turns out that the 3050ti does in fact support HDMI 2.1. I’m not sure if that guarantees the laptop will have a 2.1 port like with desktop GPUs but I guess the best way to find out is to just plug in a cable and see if everything works.

Exactly. It’s not a red flag until one’s actions spill over into the real world. An overwhelmingly majority of people who play violent video games and “torture” AI are not going to become serial killers.

I don’t worry worry about the person who enjoys violence in the digital realm. I worry about the person who finds no satisfaction from digital violence, so they move onto harming insects and small animals, eventually humans if left unchecked. That’s who we should be focusing our energy on.

Thanks, I tried that guide but it might as well be gibberish as far as I’m concerned.

Why do I have to tap into the command line on my web server? What happened to GUI installers?

“PostgreSQL”? What happened to MySQL?

What the hell is “Rust”?

So much has changed in 20 years and I feel like an old man trying to navigate a modern smart TV.

I’m confused; haven’t Steam sales been making recommendations based on the games I play for years now? They’ve been doing it for so long I don’t even remember when it started.

I tried but the last time I made a website was in the 2000s and I gave up when I couldn’t figure out what “Docker” was, or why I needed it. What happened to simply slapping everything together in Notepad, uploading the files via FTP, linking it up with your MySQL database, and it all just works?

Not if you want low lacency.

IMO your main concern should be about what country the VPN is based out of (and their privacy policy) more than where the servers are located. But then again I suppose it all depends on what kind of activity you’re using your VPN for.

Stimulants like Adderall, PEA, Octodrine, and Propylhexedrine are a half decent band-aid, but they raise my blood pressure and make me feel “tweaky” so I don’t want to take them every day. They feel like they’re slowly killing me. I mean imagine taking meth every single day. That’s what it feels like for me. Unfortunately since tolerance builds rapidly, I have to take massive doses for it to continue working, further compounding the problem.

So I try not to take stims more than a few times a month, because even once a week is too much for me. It sucks ass that there’s no long-term solution for ADHD. Just temporary fixes that rapidly stop working.

Me. I have a phone mount installed in the shower. I need my dopamine receptors to be constantly stimulated from artificial sources, or I can’t accomplish basic tasks like cleaning/showering/cooking. Executive Dysfunction is a bitch.

People with normal dopamine levels just can’t relate, so I get a lot of flack and am often called lazy. Which is annoying as hell because I genuinely want to be a functioning adult, but my stubborn brain just refuses to let me accomplish anything without external stimulation. It’s torture being labeled something you’re not, just because someone can’t understand what it’s like when your brain won’t make the reward chemicals on its own. But it is what it is.

Also BTW I’ve been doing this for a decade and only once has a phone actually died on me from water damage. So I don’t worry about it. I’m clumsy so I always have an insurance plan for my phones regardless…

Personally I can’t wait for the OoT remake to inevitably get its own Ship. It might take 20 years, but I’m willing to wait that long to finally be able to play the definitive version of OoT.

Interesting. I never heard of that before.

“An Hilarious”?

I suppose they decided to add the word “hilarious” at the last minute, completely forgetting to change the “an” to an “a” before printing it.

To me he always looks like he got caught masturbating to horse porn by his parents. I’m amazed he managed to take a decent photo as well.

Honestly I don’t understand how they’re allowed to be sold in the US either, given how rigid the safety standards are.
