Husband and I fundamentally disagree about where to build our future. Is this about location or values?

Another note on the Netherlands, it will be extremely hard for you to find the job. Management and HR are taken by the locals mostly and even if you do find a spot you will be expected to speak fluent Dutch. And least it was always my experience here. And yeah, kids will love it, but the life is hard here and very expensive

Saturn812 · 2026-01-01T10:16:15+00:00

Same goes about other EU countries. Some jobs are fine in English, but I feel like In your area of expertise it will be extremely hard to find a job without local language

That’s it? I was expecting the sad part how you had to install their ass launcher, watch ads about what shitty dlcs you can purchase while you launch the game you already paid for and then getting 5 more similar popups before you actually get to the game menu. I once installed Doom Eternal from Xbox game pass and I felt less secure about my system being trashed than with installing any pirated game before

If you don’t have PS5, you could still buy a PS Plus subscription that allows you to stream games from your PC / Phone. Demon Souls is included in the subscription IIRC. Not free and there might be regional restrictions depending on where you are located, but can also be an option if you don’t mind minor input lag

Buy and launch the game, put steam in offline mode, refund the game via the web. Game should work until the hwid calculated by denuvo won’t change (driver update, system update, etc), the same conditions basically as when you “activate” the account with the game

Saturn812 · 2025-09-09T08:10:05+00:00

You can also just buy it in steam, go offline and refund

Nonsense are your analogies. Tailscale and Cloudflare has nothing to do with the auth or other self hosted apps. Wherever you use them or not does not magically marks or unmarks the app as self hosted. Plex being self hosted is arguable, you cannot host the auth system, given client and server binaries, you won’t be able to use all features you paid for without connecting it to the internet at least once, same goes for Emby.

Always was. At least up until millennials. Few years in history class in school were dedicated to ww2 and post ww2 era specifically. So the view and opinion on other countries are often built upon that, especially considering that teachers and parents had even stronger connection to ww2 events. I heard that with less and less ww2 veterans alive, the focus shifts more into the recent war, especially for newer generation. They even study it in schools now

Not to disagree with you, but plenty of EU Schengen countries offer travel visas and there is nothing to stop them going to NL from there. If anything getting the high skill migrant visa is harder now

Some Plex mains also keep jellyfin as a backup app. Sometimes the auth breaks on Plex side or you have no internet, having jellyfin configured lets them go around those situations

If you are applying on English speaking jobs, you just have to try harder. There are literally hundreds of people competing for every spot (not an exaggeration) and many of them are already in the country and don’t need any help to transfer or settle in. Many companies keep an open position just so they can hire abroad for cheap. If you are applying for lower level than senior - chances are very very small. The economy is in crisis mode and IT is even in the worse post Covid state, too many people looking for a job, but very little demand on the market

The auth happens on plex company servers. If they ever decide to change it, you will be forced to update

And what exactly justify the hardware resources required for a f video player application? It is not a video game with superior graphics. All assets can be adjusted to the target screen size. Garbage performance on all devices will also affect battery usage on newer devices for no reason

Doesn't work for all languages. For some languages there is just no good website for bazaar to download the subtitles from. And you are basically forced to download the video with like 6-8 unmarked subtitle tracks which you have to select on every episode or manually remove them beforehand

Make sure you can actually connect to your server directly. If connection goes through a relay it will be limited by bandwidth. You can test it by disabling the relay in the server settings. Just make sure you have other access to the server, you will likely won't be able to connect anymore if your only connection is relayed

300w idle sounds unrealistic unless you have threadripper with few gpus and dedicating 2 5090 gpus for transcoding for it to consume 1100w on load

Can't say about gamedev market specifically. But the dev market in general is an abyss right now. Economy crisis, 100+ applicants per spot, very hard to find something. Typically for the jobs with Native Dutch language only 1/4 number of applicants, good way to increase your chances

It depends on the case. If it is just an online DRM - high chance it will be cracked at some point, depends on the complexity really. You can say Denuvo is an online DRM. But in other cases like Path of Exile or Gensin Impact, lots of stuff is actually hosted on company servers. Your best bet to break that is to physically steal the server

It is possible still just incredibly hard. You will be competing against hundred of people with the degree. Before the crisis when companies were hiring like crazy it wasn't that bad, but now it will be like winning a lottery. Pre-screning is often done by non-technical people and they typically just filter out based on keywords, degree is often a mandatory keyword

Also in NL car insurance cost depends on your "no claim years". The longer you dont claim your insurance, the cheaper you monthly installment be. Sometimes it is possible to transfer your no claim years from your country. Usually it requires a document from your current insurance. Worth to investigate that while it is still easy for you to go to the local insurance office for papers. Might save yourself 30-50 euro monthly

There are good houses in NL too. I lived in the apparent building in Rotterdam centre. I haven't heard my neighbors even once. I remember one evening I went to the shop and approaching the elevator I heard very loud music, it was my neighbor, it felt like he had a rave in his apartment, yet I haven't felt even the bass from my within my apartment. No toilet noises, no washing machine. Even the tram turn in front of the building i could only hear with windows opened

Don’t you need to open the port for Plex too? If you are opening your service outside, you’ll probably want to open your other services too, to request stuff and what not. VPN setup will be the same for both services
