I generally make sure to spend my money one contemporary artists or authors (who are not already filthy rich, if they are already super well-off i dont contribute to increasing that wealth and instead buy something else) and try to maxmize the amount of money that falls to them. You could also find ways to donate directly to these artists and then pirate their stuff to your hearts content (from my ethical point of view anwyay, law will not agree with me). Ive also first pirated stuff and then bought it later and just replaced the files on my media server.

I dont really care about big corporations or some random rights holder long after someones death. So any big studio movie or old rock bands get pirated.

Sorry i was only making a joke, not hating on you :)

And is owned by an ad company afaik

Is “i use Linux Mint, in case y’all were wondering” the mint variant of “i use arch btw”?

I hereby grant you all “proper authorization”. Ez

Where are you seeing ads these days? UBO pretty much gets rid of it all for me

I think progress by definition is good. Change is not always good. Not all change is progress.

Yes you can use the autoscale mod to make content soloable but you might want to tweak the settings to get it to a difficulty level you like. Some raid bosses have some game mechanics that make soloing difficult though

You should look into the gm commands to see what you can manipulate and also the server configs have a lot of things you can tweak that could make the game more enjoyable for you

I run one on a 8 gb debian server from hetzner and it seems rock solid so far from what i can tell with the amount of traffic i am likely to have (just friends get an account). Running azerothcore and not trinitycore. Setup was very easy.

Quests are really just entries in a mysql database so im sure there are open source quests you can just inject into the database. or you can make your own :)

I am also running my own instance of azerothcraft on a vps so that i can play with some friends. Love it so far but summertime means there is not too much activity yet. Im running with autoscale mod and it is quite fun to run some of the lower lvl instances at lvl 60 and it is actually a challenge (yes i capped the level at 60 because that is what i know)

Anything in particular you like to do with your awesome gm powers? (moonfire spam wins)

And if I don’t it’s because I’ve misplaced it, and the program isn’t going to help with that :(

In that case it will help you with where it was supposed to be

Maybe but its still not a weird number in this context :p

How is that usable? My work laptop with win11 is at 8-10 GB after boot

How is it a weird number? Its 2**9

Click “visit random instance” a couple of times until you hit an instance that works

And dont feel bad for random rights holders of dead musicians or musicians who are already filthy rich. If your music taste is limited to taylor swift and some up and coming indie artist make sure the whole budget goes to that up and coming artist…

Yup they suck. Gave up piracy for streaming services once, wont get suckered in again if an attractive new service comes along unless there is some proper ownership involved. But i cant really see that happening.

Edit no wait you were 100% right I was way overthinking it. You’re just basically saying you’re not rotating the content on the page, but whether it’s on its side on the reader or not, lol. Yeah my bad way overthought it you were absolutely right

Hehe yep!

I have been shocked to find that my printer not only connects on linux and stays connected without much effort but does so over wifi. Ink clogs all the time tho…🫠

You are overthinking this. It has nothing to do with whether something is designed or not for landscape or portrait. It is whether the file itself has dimensions of 4000x2000 and you want to rotate it 90 degs so that it is 2000x4000. Same content but everything rotated so that it opens oriented the way it was intended.
