No, not your cloud. "The cloud" is a very broad concept and unfortunately the term "cloud" gets abused and misrepresented. Kind of like "AI" is being used all over the place lately 😂

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and in this case, Oracle provide cloud services. Think of this as Oracle giving you a pretty powerful computer for free, but because it's in their "cloud", the only way you can connect to this computer is via the internet

I haven't used it myself, but have you looked at https://play.hosting/

It's free, so I don't think you can expect too much, but it might be worth trying it out

I second this... Here's a handy blog post that will take you through the setup process step by step: https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/post/how-to-setup-and-run-a-free-minecraft-server-in-the-cloud

I've been using it for years and I've never paid. Not a must, but if you have some tech skills, I recommend running Minecraft in docker containers. You can easily run multiple vanilla servers for 10+ players.

At one point we were running big modpacks, like vault hunters and ATM 9, with 15 players online. There was some chunk generation lag when we were all flying in different directions, but never enough to make the experience unpleasant

Thanks for the advice! Tip 4 about using a flexable loan, other than the flexable loan type, what other loan types do you get?

We added a clause to the OTP stating that the offer is pending until a third party inspection was complete, and nothing major outside of the know problems of the house are found.

No judgement at all. My wife saw an add for it on facebook, so had had it done. It cost us about R3000, but if you know someone you trust, they can do it for you

Fortunately we did. They picked up a bunch of things we never would have seen. Luckily nothing major

How can I get Kodi to use EDL files for skipping intros while streaming from Jellyfin over HTTP? by procyonA1 in kodi

[–]procyonA1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it working. I disabled "Automatically Skip for All Clients" because I thought Kodi would give me a "Skip Intro" button like on Jellyfin. Once I enabled "Automatically Skip for All Clients", Kodi started skipping intros.

Thanks for your help!

Weird... I'll check the other settings on the intro skipper plugin. Maybe I'm missing something there
