This sounds like a job for a raspberry pi 5 with an m.2 hat for storage, software is a less important choice here, so ubuntu's raspberry pi flavour would be my choice. Just make sure you give it power in a form it likes.

'New Vegas is a very, very important game to us,' says mildly exasperated Todd Howard, who will never stop getting grilled about New Vegas in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I think he was refering to the show being set after new vegas and having to continue on from a game which had different possible endings

Jellyfin has ebook support and allows you to download them for offline reading, which I reccommend because the ebook viewer is very basic

FFmpeg now has multi-threading in c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml

[-] scholar@lemmy.world 37 points 6 months ago

As far as I'm aware this is only for the cli version of ffmpeg and won't affect the threading of codecs many of which were already multithreaded.

Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. in c/technology@lemmy.world

It's bizarre how blatent this is. Google has so much power over web standards that Mozilla have to work really hard to make firefox work, but YouTube don't bother being subtle or clever and just write 'if Firefox, get stuffed' in plain text for everyone to see.

One of the things that Deus Ex captured really well was the pseudonymous federated internet; interactions between random strings on different networks that could go on and on without either party learning who they were speaking to. Alex Jacobson had no idea that the Oracle he was receiving messages from was actually a self aware AI on the net.
