Many of its patents have expired, but patent licensing attorney Jim Harlan told Streaming Media that the expiration of a large share of a portfolio doesn’t automatically eliminate licensing obligations. Courts evaluating fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) rates still consider the strength and remaining life of active patents, not just their quantity.

>H.264 license fee surge
I think some people here are confused and/or failed to do their research.
There is free open source software for encoding and decing the 264 codec.
Any company charging for this will be pushed aside by the many free means of using this codec.
Also, I have a memory of downloading and compiling this back when I first had Gentoo, which was in 2005, more than twenty years ago, so the FOSS software for 264 must be mature, complete and stable by now.

STFU and just say it's for children.
The only time anyone considers a pre built is if it's miraculously more affordable than building your own (usually because of clearance sales) or because you're a child and your father can't be bothered to help you with anything and your mother is a woman.
So when you say "people" just say children. And any adult that buys this is a children

Roombas are fine but they're not powerful enough to completely replace a normal broom and vacuum, especially for the corners and edges. None of the models are particularly good for mopping either.

Robots are basically more for day to day upkeep so you don't have to deep clean as often, they cut down the amount of times you need to vacuum and mop from once a week to once every couple of months which is nice.

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

I guess I'll burn my remaining $2.5 on my OpenAI balance and then try Claude to compare.
Today I did few very boring refactorings and it did cost me $0.23
Even bigger reason I want pay-as-you-go is that I may program every day for a week and then only do 3d stuff for a month for my project, not touching code at all. Subscription really sucks here. If I were programming every day, and especially if I had a dev job, I would probably just buy yearly subscriptions of all of them.

I don't even know where to start. This man — Javier Tebas, La Liga president — has made it his personal mission to nuke half the internet and apparently couldn't care less. Sites going down left and right, innocent IPs getting caught in the crossfire, entire streaming platforms wiped out over a weekend... and he just carries on like nothing happened. No apologies. No accountability. Just vibes and lawsuits.

The worst part? He has the legal backing to do it. Spanish courts have given him the power to request ISP-level blocks on basically anything that so much as looks at a football match sideways. Collateral damage? Not his problem. Your favorite legal IPTV service got caught in a dragnet block? Touch grass, apparently.

We need to actually push back on this. Sign petitions. Write to your representatives. Make noise on social media. This is a digital rights issue, not just a football issue — when one man can wave a hand and take down swaths of the internet with zero transparency or oversight, that affects everyone.

As for getting around the blocks themselves — VPNs are the most common tool people use, and plenty of reputable providers work fine from Spain. DNS over HTTPS (DoH) through something like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) or NextDNS also bypasses a lot of DNS-level filtering without much setup. Nothing illegal about using either, just basic privacy tools that happen to route around blunt-force censorship.

Tebas can't keep doing this forever. But someone needs to make it cost him something.

Anyone here know anything about buying wigs on AliExpress?
I've been looking at wigs for a cosplay costume, and it looks like they're all made in China and then just resold with the suggestion that maybe the seller made it but it's never really said explicitly.
(It's not for anything trans related by the way. It's for an actual XX-chromosome wielding woman, not me.)
If anyone knows how to gauge the quality of them, what I need to know about sizing and materials, which companies make better wigs, I'd appreciate info on any of that. Doesn't necessarily have to be from Ali. Not looking at human hair wigs right now either, because they idea of that is weird to the woman it's for.
