  • The Ori were a corruption of ascended beings, which were arguably artificially created by the desires of evolved species to be free from want and pain. The Goa’uld’s main deviation from your standard parasyte/symbiote is their shared permanent memory across generations(a reasonable-enough adaptation, although an extremely unlikely/costly one versus our understanding of genetics/inheritance); From there, they learned how to use and re-purpose tech, and just as importantly, almost never had to re-learn any advancements they mastered.

    Honestly the idea that the Goa’uld had to steal every bit of tech they used never sat right with me. Their healing capabilities reek of the sort of genetic engineering they alone benefit from, and no other species has such, so who did they supposedly steal it from?





  • Shiiit … I’m just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

    That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

    Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article … nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.










  • Don’t ask me? I’ll ftp before I’ll WebUI like so, but for online viewing, I’ll take streaming please. My kids, wife, and mother-in-law find that a million times more convenient.

    Meanwhile, there’s a dude in these comments hating on the notion that Jellyfin’s app will download the Raw file for offline viewing purposes. Please, do not ask me to pretend to care what is going on in that person’s head. In my world, using VLC to play my files is a perk. Gimme that yummy 2x or slow-mo as I see fit, please.
