Xbox boss would ‘love to find solutions’ so games aren’t lost when the 360 store closes | VGC in c/gaming@beehaw.org

If the goal is game preservation, the idea would be the community would preserve them for you. We would likely have highly usuable emualtors within a short time.

Im sure this is a dumb take, but can they just open source the 360? Then they are not giving away games they are not allowed to.

Using OpenVPN for sailing the sees in c/piracy
[–] idle@158436977.xyz 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

With most VPN providers you can use OpenVPN clients to connect to them. But if you are asking can i host an OpenVPN server for free and use it for piracy the answer is no. The entire point of a VPN is to conceal yourself and you are not accomplishing that if ypu are hosting it yourself. You need a VPN service.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

On the flip side, they don't come up in a mass search. I have so many notes. If it doesn't come up in a search it mine as well not exist, I'll never find it.

Just looking for a simple app that can stream local rstp. I have been using VLC up to this point but im looking for something a little less glitchy. I'd also like the ability to view multiple streams at the same time.

EDIT: I realized after making this post that I forgot to mention I'm looking for an Android app specifically.

Thoughts on Windows and WSL? (158436977.xyz)
 

So I've recently been interested in doing a complete switch from Windows to Ubuntu, and I've been playing around with WSL2 in Windows quite a bit and I have to admit I am pretty impressed with their implementation.

However, one of the reasons I've been drawn to Linux these days is the privacy aspect, and I'm looking to get everyone's thoughts on whether using Linux apps in WSL improves your privacy at all, or do I need to just flat out get off windows to get any sort of privacy benefit. My plan is to eventually get off Windows completely, but I guess I'm wondering if WSL is a good middle ground.

Lemmy self-hosters. What is your image cleanup process? (158436977.xyz)
 

I'm self-hosting the docker containers and I noticed the pictrs directory is steadily growing because of the cached images. Does anyone know if it gets cleaned up automatically or are hosters running scripts to clean it up after a certain amount of time? The install guides make no mention of it from what I can find.

I'm on my own instance, kbin.social never comes up when I search. Are they still have problems or am I doing something wrong?

Was anyone else hoping for a Gears collection announcement from Microsoft? (158436977.xyz)
 

I know most gamers are tired of the Halo and Gears churn from Microsoft, but I gotta admit, I was really hoping Gears 2 and 3 would finally come to PC.
