You end up homeless. You have no family, friends, job, in demand job skills, money, credit cards, or car. What would you do to get out of that situation?
  • Try to find a job. Like any job. I'll clean or do manual labor, no shame in that. I'd also try and look for government programs for re-education so I can learn whatever skills are in demand and the moment.

    Galaxy AI Free Until 2025
  • Unfortunately even if you could distribute them here last I checked they don't have the US band support and going through FCC certification process takes time and money

    Apex Legends’ Final Fantasy VII Crossover Prompts Fan Outcry. Players of the battle royale shooter are baffled by the $300+ price for the cosmetics
  • I don't really get why this matters that much? If they want to charge ridiculous amounts for stupid cosmetic shit, users don't have to buy it. I've put a couple hundred hours into Apex and Fortnite and have literally spent $0. Best investment I've ever made.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 mod is the closest we’ll get to a RDR1 remake
  • Makes sense, I was joking anyways. Running your xbox into a HDMI capture card just to play games on your desktop is kind of silly. You might as well just plug the xbox into your monitor directly.

    Floorp is a lean Firefox fork with privacy and customizability
  • Trying it out right now, seems really solid. Took a while to get all my extensions ported over with all my settings. Wish Firefox sync could sync that stuff too. I love the side tabs, with tabscroller extension it's a blast. Gonna try as my main browser for a while

    Why are all phones smaller than 7"?
  • My guess is people weren't buying large phones anymore. Those that want them are getting foldables. That being said you could get the Galaxy Tab A7, I think there is a version with a 4g modem. Also there are iPad mini models with 5g iirc.

    Just speak normally
  • definitely meant to comment on another post, super weird! I was reading a nottheonion post about how Steam was telling people not to huff the air coming out of the Steamdeck. Wonder if i hit a bug on the kbin mobile website? Hoping this reply actually goes to you and not some other post!

  • They should intentionally make it smell real bad to discourage people to do that, like how Nintendo made ds/3ds cartridges taste bad so little kids wouldn't try and put them in their mouths

  • need advice for a self-hosted or cloud hosted server for file transfers from remote locations

    Hey self-hosted community! I thought I'd pose this question to you all as you seem to have a lot of experience with hosting things on limited budgets with usually a single person administering!

    I am volunteering with a small rural news organization that operates in my home country. They do rural news for people living in villages and they give people (particularly women) in these villages the opportunity to be reporters. It is a really cool organization that empowers people in these villages through journalism. When they hire a reporter they give them an android-based smartphone and a handheld microphone. The reporters will shoot selfie-style reports, interviews and b-roll in the field and then file the video back to the main office where the videos can be edited. Currently they use whatsapp and signal which has worked decently well but both platforms compress the video a lot so the quality is degraded by the time it is received.

    What they need is an easy way to transfer the original video files (usually mp4 h264) over spotty rural cellular networks.

    Do you all have any recommendations for protocols or platforms to use? This is an organization with a very limited budget. I was thinking some kind of SFTP server that I could maintain remotely but I do not know if the clients are very robust against network dropouts and also are they easy enough for someone who has grown up in a rural village to learn. I have some IT skills but never tried anything like this.

    A secondary issue they have brought up is when the field reporters do file their video in, it is increasingly difficult over time to keep everything organized. The filenames will be something like YYYYMMDD\_XXXX.mp4 and the editor has to do a lot of work to organize and rename the files. I know there are MAM (Media asset management) softwares out there but from cursory googling it seems like a lot of the solutions out there are really built for large organizations that can pay a lot of money for the hardware/software. Is there any software that could automatically file away these videos possibly based on who is sending them or maybe the if the metadata has location data in it?

    Any advice would be welcome!
