  • I haven’t, but if you’re looking for the name, they’re called “wholesalers”. Typically they get houses that won’t sell on the market normally because they require too many fixes and aren’t safe to live in. They’re then sold to flippers.

    Note, you don’t actually sell to wholesalers, you sign a contract with them to sell to the holder of the contract for the agreed upon price. Then the wholesaler sells the contract to the flipper for a flat fee.

    2nd note, a lot of people think they’ll get cash once the contract is signed, that’s not the case as the wholesaler has to sell the contract. This can be adventageous if the owner is facing foreclosure. Typically you can get more money from a wholesaler/flipper, than if your house goes into foreclosure. Because the wholesaler usually has a list of flippers on the books and a sale is often just a call away.

    And when they firsy came out they pissed off a LOT of people (including me) when they’d sell physical videogame cases with a piece of paper inside it with the key for downloading. I felt tricked when I bought games that were like this.





  • Contrary to the other poster I prefer Docker over directly on the main OS. For one simple reason, uninstall. I tend to install/uninstall stuff frequently. Sure Jellyfin is great now, but what about next year when something happens and I want to switch to a fork, or emby, or something else? Uninstalling in Linux is a crapshoot. Not too bad if you’re using a package manager, but oftentimes the things I install aren’t in the package manager. Uninstalling binaries, cleaning up directories, removing users and groups, and removing dependancies is a massive pain. Back before docker instead of doing dist upgrades on my ubuntu server, I’d reinstall from scratch just to clean everything up.

    With docker, cleanup is a breeze.

    When I built my NAS I intentionally bought the latest gen cpu, but kept it in to the 65W series with a GPU chip onboard. It’s an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core @ 3800 MHz. My coral usb does frigate and the integrated graphics chip does jellyfin just fine. I started with ssds, but half of them burned out pretty quick, so I replaced them with spinning rust. But, as-is it can run for an hour on my desktop grade UPS before it shuts down. My proxmox cluster is old laptops that mount an NFS drive from my NAS. So, yes, I took power efficiency into account.




  • A few tips I just remembered: run away from harder encounters at first. Blow all your money on the front line (first 4 characters) for armor and weapons. Grind your way to level 6 or so before exploring the city and taking out the statues. Make sure you go to the advancement office to level up and to get new spells. By level 7 or so you should be good to start the dungeon. Save often, don’t go too deep, repeat the process of fighting and leaving to heal and grind your way up till the fights are easy, then start exploring.



  • I remember this game. I got pretty far in it. It’s super grindy. I remember there’s a part of the city near the starting tavern where there’s a little alcove with two doors facing each other. I spent a long time holding down the forward button and it would auto go in one door, out, into the other one, and back. Opening doors can randomly spawn mobs.

    I’d go there fight a battle or two and heal up at the tavern, save, and go back. It’s close enough I wouldn’t normally random encounter before getting back.

    I actually just bought it again on gog today. I was a little dissapointed that the legacy mode doesn’t show me the old graphics.
