  • There is nothing inerrantly wrong with streaming, it is the fact that all the streaming services suck. The experience to watch a show through streaming is:

    1. Look up what streaming service its on.
    2. Realize you don’t have it, pay $25 a month for a subscription.
    3. Watch the show in 480p even though you paid for 4k.
    4. Realize you are using the “wrong” browser & try chromium
    5. Realize chromium doesn’t work either and install their proprietary app.
    6. In the time that you were getting their app working, they lost the rights to the show. Restart on new streaming service.

    If it were instead:

    1. go to any streaming service of your choice
    2. Pay $35 a month
    3. Watch on Firefox on Linux in 4k, a lot fewer people would pirate.

    What I heard was that they can have cold but not hot caffeine. Does that mean they can use Java only on well cooled computers? Or does java refer to a specific kind of coffee (that is not cold)? Well apparently Java is an island in Indonesia where Java coffee is grown. That would mean that Java could be cold brew and that they can so long as their computer is cool enough for it not to be considered hot. The exact definition of hot is tricky, though cold brew is typically served at refrigerated temperatures which would mean the computer would need sub-ambient cooling.

    Tldr: they need a computer with sub-ambient cooling.


  • I don’t have VPS recommendations, but may I suggest using a VPS as a proxy to your home server (running gramps) through wireguard? The lower system requirements would allow you to choose a cheaper server, and the fact that the server is only a proxy would simplify the process of moving to a different VPS if you need to.
