    It is not different from how the previous shared libraries worked. I guess it's there to stop cheaters from buying a single copy of the game and sharing it with throwaway accounts.

    Minimum hardware for a client?

    I've found some discussions about hosting the Jellyfin server on lower end devices, but what about the client? I imagine the requirements to be pretty low, since a gen 2 Chromecast worked fine. Has someone tried setting up a raspberry pi in kiosk mode? Can you suggest something cheap that would be good enough for 1080p?

    It could be an issue with the codecs (browsers are usually pretty limited in what they support). You could try to use a client like Jellyfin Media Player instead. It bundles libmpv, so it plays almost any video format there is.

    Since you are sharing anecdotes, let me join.

    For me FF has always been extremely stable, and I too regularly keep 100+ tabs open, on much more limited system resources. It is so stable that I've completely disabled history saving, and if there is something I want to read later I just keep the tab open. Never had an issue.

    Tree Style Tabs also pushed me to have many tabs, because now I can actually organize those that I've opened and find them later.

    Honestly, I don't even remember. It was something to do with minor differences in the cursor movements of specific commands.

    Anyway, it's been years, anything may have changed in the meantime. I should probably give it another go, those were simple nitpicks that I was too impatient to tolerate.

    have to be relatively fluent in Vimscript to pull that off

    I don't think so, using ALE just requires to install the plugin and the external programs that it will interrogate. I know almost nothing about Vimscript.

    thoughts regarding Vimscript

    From what I've seen it's a scripting language like any other, but one that is extremely specific to vim. The syntax is also quite different from anything else, so I never felt the need to learn it.

    Neovim

    As a general concept, it seems a good idea, I also know Lua so it would seem to be a logical switch for me.

    However, during these years every time I tried it it had some slight differences from vim that made using it somewhat annoying. Moreover, it never seemed to provide such a better experience that made me switch permanently. I'd like to like it, but I never had a reason to.

    I'm a bit surprised that no-one mentioned ALE. If you want to turn vim into an IDE it goes a long way.

    Having the compiler warnings/errors inside the buffer is already really useful, but then you can also add LSPs and there isn't really much missing. I've recently developed a Java program entirely in vim using Eclipse's LSP.

    Chromecast over Tailscale?

    I have Jellyfin installed on a remote machine, connected to my laptop and phone via Tailscale. Is it possible to cast from that machine to a gen 2 Chromecast? From the Jellyfin instance installed on my laptop, in the same LAN, I can authenticate from the phone and cast to the Chromecast, so all the pieces work. I have tried announcing the subnet from the laptop (`--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24`), with IP forwarding etc. The remote machine accepts the route and can ping the Chromecast (`192.168.1.100`). From the phone I can connect to the server and start casting. The screen shows the Jellyfin logo, but playing anything has no effect. Has someone managed to make it work? --- EDIT: As I feared, it seems it's not possible. I can't change the routing table of my ISP's router, so the Chromecast can't reach the remote server. I'll try to find a newer Chromecast, or maybe just get a Raspberry and install the full client there. Thanks everyone!

    Two new additions to my favorites: Incan Gold and Hellapagos

    Yesterday we've played two new games, and they both were a great success. - **Incan Gold** (or **Diamant**): push your luck cave explorers. The mechanics are easy to understand by everyone and the game flows very fast. We felt the game really forces you to think about how greedy you can afford to be. We also decided on the houserule of really suspicious explorers: when some go back they split the available gold in each room, instead of considering all that is available in the caves. - **Hellapagos**: cooperative castaways, for a while. This is a bit more complex and requires more focus, but with the right people it can be really funny. Everyone begins with a lot of good intentions, but when the rations start to get low and the hurricane close, curiously everyone starts looking for guns and bullets. This game probably requires a very specific mix of players, as being all cooperators make it boring, but selfish backstabbers can't survive alone. We played both games with 4 players. For Incan Gold it we think 5/6 would be the best. Hellapagos maybe 6/7, more if you want complete chaos. ::: spoiler Some funny things that happened - In Incan Gold, a lucky explorer has been left alone in the cave almost since the beginning, and managed to survive with ~20 gold and 4 idols. - In Hellapagos, a castaway played selfishly all the game and in the end boarded the raft by stealing the conch (which made him immune to being voted out) from another player. :::

Waiting for some features but still good. - [Advanced Darkess](https://mod.io/g/drg/m/advanced-darkness-reloaded): not sure about this one, solves a few glitches for me, but makes the caves a bit too dark. - [Ammo Percentage Indicator Extended](https://mod.io/g/drg/m/ammo-percentage-indicator-e): useful to avoid wasting resupplies. - [Silent Born Ready](https://mod.io/g/drg/m/silent-born-ready): removes those voicelines.

    Regarding Tron: Legacy, I suggest you watch the fanedit Tron: Perfection.

    It trims some of the terrible dialogue and most of what happens outside the grid (including the sequel bait). Also has the good idea to use the young Kevin, which some find uncanny, only for Clu.

    It has become my favourite way to watch the movie.

    Our few victories were always obtained by taking risks and was never easy. The mechanics are a bit overwhelming at first, but after a couple of matches the effects are easy to remember. We still haven't found some general strategies beyond "diamonds are really useful, don't waste them".

    A game ended after we had J♦ as the last jack and Q♦ right after it, we simply didn't have enough cards to deal with them one after the other.
