At this point I’m convinced the team behind TeamSpeak actually like disappointing people
Yes I am one of the vast majority of people who don’t have a very strong association with one of the several different names for one of the worlds less distinct animals.
And unless Stoat the software is content with appealing only to a few galaxy brained individuals like yourself and dying in obscurity, they would be smart to pick a more marketable name. One that has universal understanding and appeal, very simple concept. Or at least one that sounds better to the ear.
It is not. Stoats are not a very commonly talked about animal species. Their name isn’t even consistent across regions.
I had to look up what a Stoat even was because I only know them as Ermine, and in North America it’s called a short tailed Weasel. It’s not an animal you’re likely to even see much as they are rarely kept in captivity, and aren’t something you’re very likely to see in the wild in NA even though they’re native here. They have precious little pop culture representation either.
It’s not a question of intelligence, it’s a question of recognition and partiality.
That’s not very compelling imo.
That explains why nobody has consulted you before launching a brand.
Most tech names are nonsense to average person, yet they succeeded just fine.
On the contrary, most successful tech names are very recognizable and attractive to the average person, and the ones that weren’t were less likely to succeed. Facebook, Twitter, InstaGram, Windows, Apple, Amazon, Snapchat, TikTok all are very recognizable words or portmanteaus of descriptive words that are attractive to average users and are meant to convey a specific emotion or feeling. Meanwhile it’s been years since Twitter changed its name to X and yet nobody calls it that, and everybody still calls posts on that platform “Tweets”.
Like, this billion dollar industry doesn’t cease to be so because you personally don’t find it compelling lol.
Teamspeak needs to get off their ass and release the Teamspeak 5 server already
It makes perfect sense. Names are incredibly important to widespread adoption. As are pleasing colors.
Many people don’t know what a Stoat is, or that it’s an animal. A meaningless nonsense word (In the mind of a normie) will not drive them to use it.
The problem is there isn’t plenty of other options.
Discord is one of those services independent web folk have been after a replacement for for years.
I highly doubt it. Those issues were with overvoltage problems and the n100 is low power. The thing sips electricity even when under load
The N100 would work great, that’s what I have at home, the S12 pro with the n100, it’s just getting harder to find.
Just don’t get the N95
If you wanted something to get started for streaming and you are space limited (in your home) I would recommend this as your server:
- https://a.co/d/00MhaEgG the Beelink S13 which is under $300 and will serve your streaming needs for a very long time.
And for storage you could get this 4TB external drive and plug it into the Beelink and sit it right on top for $130:
And if you have an Nvidia shield I’m pretty sure you could also skip the S13 and just plug the drive into your shield and run Jellyfin or what have you directly on that. I know lots of people brag about their big overbuilt servers, but you don’t have to go down that road at all if all you want is to store and stream your media.
To a degree yes, but not nearly as bad as other components right now. You can at the very least buy a single “small” HDD like 4TB for pretty cheap that is far more than what you’d get from big tech on an average storage plan.
This is subject to change but as of today, you can get this for cheap
It’s not. I have a server with dozens of TBs of storage which is a 2011 Lenovo tower I got for free out of someone’s garage. It doesn’t take a whole lot to store things.

The thing to know about IPV6 is that while being able to read the addresses and memorize the different kinds seem daunting, the implementation behind it is actually much simpler than IPv4 today.
The biggest mental hurdle to get over is that the way we use IPv4 today is informed by our need to work around the global lack of IPv4 addresses. With IPv6, it sorta turns back the clock to when every machine could just have a globally routable IP address. Private reserved ranges for local lans, NAT, etc aren’t necessary with IPv6
Working in EMS feels like this, only you get paid worse somehow
It would cost an amount of money, but it wouldn’t really be a hugely expensive undertaking nor would it take longer than 5 years tops if done with any level of competency. There are 8 American cities that each individually have a higher population than the country of Estonia. The administrative overhead isn’t very big to begin with.
In the present, but in the past too.
Mint is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian. If you were spinning up a new server from scratch, I would definitely recommend Debian over Mint, but realistically if you’re not currently having any issues there’s no reason to rearchitect your whole server just for that.
This kinda thing is like Debians primary use case lol
I’m wondering if Android has something nicer looking. Plex has PlexAmp which looks great, Emby’s built in music player in their main app looks terrific, FinAmp is like aestheticslly like the stock standard JellyFin app which is awful.
Discrete in iOS at least is just an attempt at looking like a carbon copy of Apple Music. There must be some good looking g Jellyfin music player on Android.
