I wish I remembered…Im spacing right now and search isnt coming up with anything. I just remember there was a small stink because some game or another was too expensive? And they just emulated it but showed one of the screens? Its been many years.

Game Grumps got in trouble from what I remember using emulators on old games haha.

I do too.

I heard a theory that the AI bubble might not burst as we think it will. It will slowly deflate.

Companies can re-negotiate contracts and if they do, we may see a slow deflation rather than a huge all in one burst. The push will very slowly move away from datacenters and go back to consumers…but the factories were all set up for very specific chips because of prior years AI push. Very expensive blip in 10 years but prices do not go back down…they just stay the same for longer.

But IDK I am not an economist.

ohhh cool thanks!

Coromon rocks! And its only 5$ on steam.

I usr it every day its great.

In theory one day its going to be too much for our current bandwidth. We are no where near that even with single user instances.

There are ways of making things much more efficient. Piefed for example bundles up votes so the API doesn’t get hit with millions of upvotes all separately. Peertube has P2P video sharing so the more people host/view videos, it actually gets faster. Theres a ton of others. But it sounds like a future issue.

Thats the idea! You just have to get them off the store and download them somehow.

It looks like its not working for me.

coo see you there!

Calibre is what I would take a look at. There is a web version that has a couple of different setups. for docker this looks interesting:

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web

Ive also used yunohost (mostly for ease of use and backups) here: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/calibreweb

Its basically the same thing either way.

Im seeing a huge increase in people using stoat. And its been fun.

am I right in understanding that I can host my library of ebooks on my home server then point a client at that server so I have access to my full library without having to save the books locally on device?

Some do this and some dont. I personally find ebooks to be so small that it doesnt matter, but some people use the server client to keep track of where they were at on certain books, helpwith their large collection, share with others of the family, etc…etc… And I think books with pictures such as manga, magazines, or other such take up more room so it might make sense if you have a lot of those.

I personally like having the system auto-update my device with new books and convert into nice to read formats for my custom devices. It works out really well.

I had no idea this was a thing. Interesting. I can see from liability why this is not something they dont want to touch, being a general purpose instance.

I think lemmy/fediverse needs a place where if you try and subscribe to something blocked, you get a post/page explaining why they did the thing. Its going to confuse new users otherwise.

calibre is pretty great. I also have a kobo and its the reason I can load/convert a lot of what I read.

Excellent!

Im already a member over there :) Looking for more chat based stuff I guess.

I mean you can …but its gonna be slop.

I remember some crazy stuff back when I had to work with a Java + ember.js project. Everything was like that.

Thats kind of you to say 😀
