Not an ai shill but I think it's fine that people use ai to make foss. You have no obligation to use it. And I am pretty sure that 80% of users with negative comments would not be able to program software any better i.e. more secure and fewer bugs. Ai made me a driver for a label printer to run on Linux. Code looks fine to me when I skimmed through it although I am by no means a pro programmer. I shared this on github. Shoot me!

Ai usage is not black and white.

    I get lots of content from other instances and when I search for communities I see all the instances that such-and-such community? If you have spent any time online you know that large != good community. Yes some are defed' but that's fine by me.

    Love peacewalker as well. Had totally forgotten about the controls in Portable Ops - they were indeed trash. Never played the MSX games tbh.

    So happy that I finally get to play MGS4 again, even on my PC! Emulator still isn't the best for mgs4.

    It's mgs 2 or 4 for me. I love the whole series, even portable ops back on PSP. Portable Ops had this Pokemon Go-like mini game where you go around the neighborhood and find WiFi access points. When in range you button mash. If you reach 100% you get a new crew member for your army.

    I rate mgs 2 and 4 higher than 3 because of the story. As a young boy the topics surrounding PMCs, AI, bio enchantments etc. blew my mind. And now, what was fiction in MGS is becoming reality - some already is. MGS3 has better gameplay but hated the fixed camera in the original game. Was so glad that they made Subsistence.

    Hi hosters,

    First timer here - just found this nice little instance.

    I'm looking for a semi budget PC as my new server. I currently have a raspberry pi 5 for syncthing and torrent client and a Synology 1515+ for storage (used to also host nextcloud, jellyfin, bitwarden, but became too slow for jellyfin encoding). Will probably run opensuse, fedora or mint.

    Budget is flexible, ~280-380 euros. The primary requirement is that it can do both 264/265 encode transcode and stream to two concurrent clients without any problems. 1080p is a need to have, 4k nice to have. Will also run torrents, maybe a game server and some kind of file sync. Media files will be stored on Synology nas. Will be buying used or refurbished. I have been looking at the following in different price ranges:

    • EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini (i5-9500T)
    • M710q Tiny
    • OptiPlex 3060 Micro
    • ProDesk 400 G4 Mini

    Which of these would you chose? Or other suggestions?
