RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

I doubt they’ll call it a failure regardless of how it does.

If anything it’s a great money maker for WWE. How’s it a failure for them by any means? They’re making more for giving less. They can sell the library elsewhere to make more. Unless you’re speculating it’s a failure for ESPN in which case it remains to be seen.

WWE could care less if people buy the PLEs since they have a guaranteed payment from the deal.

They’re also towards the (seemingly) tail end of a hot period that lasted around the same, if not, longer than the attitude era. It was also even more profitable even accounting for inflation.

WWE has no reason to worry until the last year or so of the new deal. Nothing matters until then. They will make a ton of money and be immensely profitable.

Edit: Content and the cost being worth it is continually debated and yet sports continually pay more in rights fees while everything else seemingly gets less. This falls close enough to sports to fall in the loss-leader category of wanting to have the programming for prestige to build the brand as opposed to directly making money.

Think about sports rights and events like that. Millions of dollars in rights fees that don’t get made back even in advertising, etc. It means a lot for station X to have something like the NBA, how much it means to have WWE PLEs remain to be seen for ESPN.

But the moon is made of cheese.

Too bad that’s cosmetic.

There used to be a scary logo animation for National Amusements that used to scare me as a child. It gives me the creeps now still.

It was all neon and then there would be a creepy screen to show you where the exits were.

(Not directly related but this reminded me of it.)

Another option if you need public access without something like tailscale would be to use ddns and a AAAA record. Something like https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient would help do that.

That way if the IP changes, you’d pick up on the change for your vanity url within a few minutes… and can get https certs for that url as well.

Edit: I reread the OP. This doesn’t help if clients need direct ipv4. Sorry about that.

Even the cereal?

Cloudflare except I think they’re in the US.

Privacy is free. Domains are at cost. DNS is updatable via the webui and API as well.

Makes me wish they further prioritize the ability to move accounts from instance to instance. Things need to be thought of as best effort and not exactly a sure thing.

I have mostly random videos with things I’ve been interested in over the years. I’ve been doing a short a day for over a year now. The shorts are pretty random but surround things that happen on my life.

I love video and live production. I haven’t been able to really do it since college and don’t have time (or equipment) to do consistent long form content; but shorts are easy and fun enough to come up with.

Also a bunch of the shorts involve my cat.

Ask how many 'r’s in the word ‘strawberry’

The UI goes in circles. I wish we stopped changing things when they aren’t broken.

I’ve had great service from goggles4u.com. It’s been years though since I got LASIK.

People are generally nice. Though honestly my wife is a 10 and I’m like a -3. It’s all in the eyes of the beholder.

I guess if it was a daily unlimited good pizza party instead of a small raise given as long as I had the job; then maybe it would be a better deal.

If I’m either getting an extra $100 a month or $20 of pizza every day… I think pizza wins.

What are the chances we get daily free pizza?

If it’s not daily: I’d take the money. If daily: I’d have to think about it.

If you read this far and it’s not clear: I’m joking.

Streamline

I actually like the ability for a local AI to help with this in theory. I don’t think it’s an excuse for unintuitive UIs though.

RIP Skype

You won’t believe what this person thinks of our headlines

For something end-user facing: I could understand this argument.

In this case they were more or less just calling a C function that had an unsigned long long as the parameter they were setting negative.

The whole ‘bug’ was that the other side of the function call was seeing a positive number no matter what.

The real situation was a bit more complicated, but that’s the gist.
