I’ve settled on getting an Anbernic RG CubeXX! Looks the most comfortable with the nice big grips, the dpad in the default position, and not super budget but not expensive.

Everyone knows that men benefit more from relationships then women

Once a cheater always a cheater. You’ll do it again.

Also sounds like you’re just wanting his house. I hope he doesn’t take you back, honestly.

Edit: OP does onlyfans too…..yeah nah just leave the poor guy alone.

What’s China going to do with your data? Far less than your own country can.

If the choice is between China and your own country, China every day.

Why not? Because I don’t care about ads in a service that’s just thrown in as a bonus to a service I already pay for and would still pay for even if they got rid of it?

What’s that got to do with freedom?

I find it hard to get too upset about this since Prime Video is just a throw-in bonus that I'm not paying for. Even if it didn't exist I'd still be subscribed to Amazon Prime. The only thing I really used Prime Video for, even when it didn't have ads, was to find movies to add to Overseerr.

The gigantic increase in simps, incels, and losers basically. Girls can take advantage of them to the tune of thousands of dollars a month just by posting some saucy videos and pretending to be interested in them by responding to messages or saying their name in a video.

More power to the women, honestly. It's the mens fault.

Anyway, I’m not one to spread conspiracy theories,

Yet here you are, doing so lol

Removing people who aren't allowed to vote from voting rolls? You're against that?

Funny how this "the election was stolen" narrative is taking hold among the left now, despite laughing off any suggestion from the far right of it happening in 2020 lol.

I just commented saying OP should consider this haha. I just went from a DS920+ to a M4 Mac Mini and Terra-Master DAS.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What issues are you having with it? I just did this and have found it to be pretty much perfect.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was like you and had my Synology DS920+ doing everything - the full *arr suite in docker containers, Plex server (native), torrents (in container), etc. I've recently moved away from that to a new setup which I think will be significantly better and simpler.

  • Mac Mini M4: this is running Plex Media Server and all the *arrs. I'm currently running them natively, but might move them off to docker. Don't really see any need to though, they're safe and I know how to configure them like the back of my hand at this point.

  • Terra-Master D5-310 5 Bay DAS: running in RAID5 with 5x10TB WD Red drives. Since this is connected directly to the Mac via USB-C, so is essentially a external HDD, it can be backed up with BackBlaze for $99/year! This is great because it's just plain RAID5, not Synology's proprietary RAID (which is great btw) so I'm not locked in to their hardware ecosystem.

The Mac has absolutely no problem transcoding as many streams as you can throw at it, and the power draw is just insane. It tops out at like 50W or something stupid, and idles at about 4W.

 

This is my first time using ArkOS - are there any settings changes that people always make first when setting up a device with it? What GUI do you like? Can you download different ones?

I've recently moved from using my PC to emulate retro games to a R36S (game boy style but with 2 analogue sticks as well) handheld and have fallen in love with having them in a portable device.

I'm looking at purchasing a bigger and much newer and more powerful device so was looking for advice on things like what the pros and cons of some popular devices are, what OS people prefer, what emulators people use, etc. My R36S is running ArkOS which is ok.

I'm thinking a clamshell device would be nice, but a Switch-style would be fine as long as the controls aren't too snug. As close to "full size" analogue sticks would be ideal too, I hate and can't get used to tiny ones like on this R36S or sliders like on the 3DS.

Don't really have a set budget. Would like to be able to emulate up to and including Wii U via Dolphin if possible, but I know that's pushing it. PS2 or DC level would be acceptable too. Alternatively a really good "up to and including PS1" device would be an option.

Some that I've seen that look good:

  • Retroid Flip 2

  • Anbernic RG556 (I think the 557 isn't getting very good reviews)

  • Retroid Pocket 5

  • Anbernic RG Arc (because the Megadrive 6 button controller is the GOAT of the 8/16 bit generations.

  • Anbernic RG CubeXX
