I would guess I have multiple thousands of hours across the Halo and Pokemon series. My highest played steam game is dead by daylight (gross) at 1k hours. Deep Rock Galactic and PUBG are at around 500.
Yes. Will humans ever meet them? Probably not. The universe is a big place. Even if a civilization could travel the speed of light it would take them 200,000 years to cross just the milky way. Also, who is to say most civilizations haven't gone extinct or don't exist yet?
I like Jellyfin quite a bit better. The UI is less cluttered and the controls make more sense. It also doesn't phone home like plex. I do keep plex running beside it for my dad and sister. Plex has way better device support.
Not 100% sure if this is helpful, but here is what I'm importing and a snippet initiating webdriver. Sorry on mobile. The hardest part was getting the right chromium installed and getting the path right. I believe this is the one I used. sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")
I've thought about this a lot as well. Really the hiring process is just so goofy and feels so negative. I try not to let being passed by get to me, and try to learn from it all. For example, my last technical interviewer really hammered away the sql questions. I did ok, but realized I really need to brush up on it. Maybe work on some practice projects involving it. Lastly, I've given up entirely on the big leagues (faang, etc). It just is what it is. Even some of the mid level tech companies may be out of reach for some time for me.
The don't know what I don't know feeling happens a lot. I've been trying to learn basic CS and dabble with C. It has helped a bit opening up my mind.
Stardew Valley would be my vote. Some others that come to mind are Slay the Spire or Skyrim. My adhd wife plays cracked sims 4 with every mod known to mankind. She doesn't even play the game. Just creates characters and builds houses.
