I just received mine a few days ago!
I am excited to have it and start using it but I would also caution people interested in it. It is currently a little rough around the edges software wise but I'm optimistic it will continue to improve with time.
I am personally glad I opted to support this project and while I don't think I'll be able to contribute to code I do hope to at least provide beneficial feedback and end user diagnostics.
You'll likely run into some problems eventually but yes, for the most part things work very well now. My only significant problems are typically cause by anti-cheat software.
Because it's "easier" to support Windows from a business perspective and it's easier on users to use Windows as most already do use it and thus need no additional training/decreases support tickets.
I'm a small business environment it's much easier to manage with Linux but you still need an OK Linux admin on staff.
Once you start scaling up on paper Linux certainly works but there are a lot of factors that most people (such as yourself) don't consider.
This is coming from a pure Linux admin working on a mixed Enterprise environment where 99% of the infra is windows
Well that's an easy fix. I just won't use those apps.
Assuming the implementation is done in such a way that I am not indirectly owned by the manufacturer of the BCI and am capable of maintaining its software and firmware myself...yes yes absolutely yes stick that shit in my head.
But if it is not open source and I'm expected to be tied to some corporate entity just to utililze it, no, absolutely not.
Just look at the bit rate of what you are streaming and multiply it by 3 then add a little extra for overhead.
But the article explains that there is a technical reason.
Are you asking about why private trackers are private or are you asking about why a handful of people were mean to you who also happened to use a private tracker?
Edit: typo
Debian for all things.
Care to cite your sources in that claim? I'm know they are far from anything that could be considered "good" but "worse than cigs" is news to me.
As others have said, cool concept, awful name.
Bad name aside Windows only client support is a big letdown and makes the application useless to me.
Reminds me of a tip for a soldering gun.
