I got to do some pretty cool things, I lived out of pos in worm hole space with a close nit group during the first year of them, I flew with Rooks and Kings and Pandemic Legion.
But I wish I stopped then. I came back a few years later and that was so depressing.
Yes, to communicate at least one peer needs to be port forwarded.
If you don’t have port forwarding and the seeder doesn’t then you won’t see them.
A lot of casual torrent users won’t know about this so it’s a common issue on public trackers.
MS lawyers are lying if they’re saying that there’s a portable PS5 coming as it’s just a device to stream from your PS5.
Pretty much why I was prepared to settle here.
My son is 50/50 Thai / English.
We live in Thailand and he is accepted as 100% Thai.
I admit that I’ll never be accepted as Thai but that comes with benefits as well as drawbacks.
Bandwidth to storage is going to become more and more important so I’m not keen on that.
Console choice seemed to create epic levels of disagreement.
I hang out with my son and we play games together. We either play together or he plays on the PS5 and I play on the PC in the same room.
It’s allowed me to teach him healthy habits such as taking a break when he’s getting frustrated rather than getting angry at the game. We also share our triumphs and disasters which makes it much more social and since I’m a gamer I can curate the games he plays.
Personally I’ll be gaming until I die, fortunately my wife doesn’t see it as immature as I’ve never allowed it to interfere with being a functional adult.
I’d look into something with at least a Intel® UHD Graphics 730 iGPU.
It’ll give you some flexibility to add hardware transcoding in the future.
It really depends on how you want to deal with your media. I want the best copy of movies that I can get. So I need the server to transcode but that requires a beefy cpu for one stream or using a gpu ( intel iGPUs are great for this) for more. Unfortunately accelerated transcoding requires to pay for plex pass. If you really need hardware transcoding and don’t want to pay you could go with Jellyfin, though it’s harder to set up and doesn’t have clients for as many devices.
One thing is that there are reasonably frequent discounts on lifetime plex pass which is what I did.
I do feel for those who were enjoying a peaceful place until us rabble turned up needing to go through the stages of grief.
I’m very grateful for it existing.
