Yeah, thankfully Sony's gaming division is pretty easy to drop, unlike say, Nestle or something, where every other dime you spend in a grocery store ends up in their evil pocket somehow even if you're trying to be careful to avoid them.

No real notes except I kinda dream of combining your first two examples into one lifestyle, I dunno if that's even really a thing but...
...I mean, also, like, if you can run fiber optic cables along the ocean floor, you should be able to run them into the woods.
I dunno. An honest simple life aligned with nature and enjoying computers should be a thing. Nat Geo explorers and people that run solar powered websites off of Pis and stuff know what I'm talking about lol.
I really wish the games market/industry could just be sustainable and stable.
Like holy crap, they're always trying to push it and force it to its absolute breaking point for another filthy dollar, and it's just making everyone miserable.
This is the wonders of capitalism unchecked: They have distilled to a science, the power to make games. Miserable. Wow. What a feat.
Making them professionally isn't even allowed to be fun anymore, it's just stress and abject misery and instability to profit some C-suite fart-sniffers.
Playing them is constantly fraught with stupid harebrained get rich schemes and "market fluctuation dynamics" and speculation and fuggin' GAMBLING.
To the Sonys, the Ubislops, the Electronic Farts out there:
STOP IT. UNLESS YOU'RE MAKING IT BETTER FOR US, LEAVE THE WAY WE PLAY GAMES ALONE. We play games, and sometimes make them, to HELP US ESCAPE YOU!!!
Heck, even using a Steam Deck as a dedicated console would get you really far until you start playing AAA stuff. Even farther if you have a tolerance for dropping detail on things like anti-aliasing and dynamic shadows!
Maybe it made her day and she thinks about it with a little laugh and a smile from now on. Love is in too short supply in this world. :p
Personally I've had a lot of luck running NextCloud AIO on OpenMediaVault, on my little server machine running ProxMox.
The nice thing is you can keep your data drives separate, and take snapshots of the OpenMediaVault virtual machine before you update NextCloud, and if something goes wrong , you can roll it back without losing stuff stored on it!
(Sorry I could be better at describing this stuff)
AIO makes it a lot more convenient to maintain. It has a backup solution built in using Borg Backup, and it automates updates when you tell it to update. Usually the update process is a bit more...fraught and hands-on running bare metal.
NextCloud can back itself up as mentioned, but I use Proxmox's snapshots in case the little web portal to do all that breaks, which has happened before. But super rarely!
Haha sorry this is a bit of a mess, I'm at work right now XD
Are you really missing all that much if it's not in 4K? 😬
ProTip: I hear 2D animation compresses really well. Do with that information what you wish!
That's fair and considerate.
I basically consider picture rights to be rent. They loaf around, get free food, shelter, snuggles, brushing, among other perks.
In return I get to take silly pictures of them! Although usually they're flattering and regal portraits. :D
That's cool! I personally use NextCloud Memories, and I'd really like if the recognition component got that reliable!
they're right here all the time.
Well, I don't wanna be dark but uh...that won't always be the case, as I've experienced too often recently.
So, it's nice to be able to look back. Our own memories are quite unreliable. :)
Sony's "What, don't you guys have phones?!" Moment. Lol
