I had always seen the third one ranked as one of the greatest films of all time, and now I understand why. I highly recommend all three of these movies.
I have a few more highly regarded spaghetti westerns coming in the mail and the anticipation is palpable at this point.

They can get their personhood back by charitably donating enough of said assets to bring their personal wealth below that threshold.
This would solve so many problems. For one, they could no longer pump money into elections under the guise of "free speech" because the First Amendment would no longer be applicable to them.

babypuncher Link ParentI don't see that happening. Smartphones aren't built to run AAA PC games, and anyone building more bespoke Android gaming handhelds will face the exact same problems Valve is right now. Plus, why...Steam for Android compatibility so that they don't have to deal with new hardware pipelines in a world where all this nonsense is going on. Maybe branded Retroid hardware?

Fuck billionaires. They're the ones pouring so much money into all of this dog shit, with the explicit goal of triggering a mass unemployment crisis. Billionaires aren't people like you and me, they have more in common with rabid dogs. It's about time our treatment of them started to reflect that.

babypuncher (edited )Link ParentIt's just a single port that needs to be forwarded. I think most people getting into self hosting can figure that out. If not, then they probably deserve to over-pay for Plex Pass.It's just a single port that needs to be forwarded. I think most people getting into self hosting can figure that out.

There's other ways to manage this through Caddy, and reverse proxies and LDAP, but I already had Tailscale set up.

Once public registration was available, it was immediately flooded with AI bots and they couldn't figure out how to reliably weed them out, so they shut it down.
Now they're bringing it back as something nobody wants.
I'm getting the rest of Leone's westerns (Once Upon a Time in the West, Duck, You Sucker!), and two from Sergio Corbucci (Django, The Great Silence). I'm particularly excited about that last one.
I watched another piece of Italian genre cinema today, The Inglorious Bastards, which was also a lot of fun
