  • Yeah, got YouTube music after they shut down Google play music. All my friends dog on me for not having Spotify but not having ads on iOS is so nice. I tried it once without youtube premium subscription and idk how people can sit through advertisment hell for every video.

    Also having the creators I watch get a larger share of the YouTube money pie cause I watch them as a YouTube premium sub is a nice feeling too.

    That being said though, I’m on a family plan and not this specific plan that got its price raised (although I’m pretty sure the family plan prices have also gone up recently if I remember right).









  • I just googled restic, so does it just create a single encrypted backup file you can upload to backblaze b2 cloud storage? I will definitely look into that.

    For now, immich is just another safety net. I’ve got my photos backed up to iCloud photos as well as Google Photos. It’s not a price or privacy thing so much as a just in case Google or Apple decides to shut down my account for whatever reason.

    I may skip running two hdd’s in raid 1 though if restic and b2 can restore all my files if the drive fails. Have you done this before? Is it difficult to restore to a backup?






  • I guess they might be wicked greedy. Far from the worst gaming related company I know though. I mean just off the top of my head, I’m still a bit bitter about “Overwatch 2”. Paywalling heroes and calling it fair. Terrible battle pass. And the whole bait and switch with Modern Warfare 2. Promise a two year call of duty then rug pull after they made their sales. And the buggy messes that all those games come wrapped up in. Plus the whole sexual harassment lawsuits, but that’s a whole separate matter.

    Maybe I don’t play enough Nintendo, but every time I’ve picked up one of their games, I don’t feel any pressure to spend extra on any microtransactions or pay more to get ahead of other people. I mean, I’m sure there are examples, but looking at other companies I’d say they’re decent by comparison.
