But being a pushover is not the answer, so…

I think that’s a mod for CP2077…

exposure puts them at risk

they’re super easy to find

that one meme with the dude surrounded by question marks

E: or that one of Trump and another dude in chairs talking about a piece of paper

Plex was the reason why I learned Docker + watchtower, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about updates (work smarter not harder). Now I have like 35 containers and am comfortable with docker. 🐳

Because it works. Call me in a few years when movies, TV shows, dvr recordings, live TV (with free, built-in guide support), and working picture support shows up. Oh, commercial removal too (again, built-in, just check a box). A not-shit setup process would be nice, too.

I’ve tried jf three times now across as many years, and it’s still got that ‘Linux developer feel’ of a tool where the devs got what they need the most mostly-working, and just don’t give a fuck about anything else - or a decent UI. No, blue boxes on a black background is not a decent UI. It wasn’t when W8 launched, and it’s not now. And when W8 is winning the competition, you’ve already lost.

Feature parity or the argument is moot.

I’d rather be the expert

Fair, but others, unless they are getting paid for it, just want their shit to work. Same as people who take their cars to a mechanic instead of wrenching on it themselves, or calling a handyman when stuff breaks at home. There’s nothing wrong with that.

“hosting provider” in this instance I think means “do you pay them (whoever has the hardware in their possession) a monthly/quarterly/yearly fee”

otherwise you can also say “well ACTUALLY your isp is providing the ability to host on the wan so they are the real hosting provider” and such…

Because they were doing such a fantastic job at it before, obviously…

“pirate YouTube” lmfao

bet you’re one of those people that pirate oxygen

You didn’t read anything I said, I see

I see this so often and nobody ever seems to realize that local/home VPNs use upload bandwidth, which for some is in dire low supply. I can’t have 4 full-time users using my upload connection routing through wireguard, when all 4 stream videos throughout the day. And that’s just 3rd party services like YouTube and Twitch, not plex. Then you add in two additional, off-site users who want to watch something with me on plex, and we are all given ~1.5 megabits a piece of a 10meg upload pipe over here. Mmmm, crispy pixels. ‘you can just use some IPs in wg so you don’t need to tunnel all data, just what you need’, they say, and I rebuke by showing them my dynamic IP address. ‘ask for a static one’ and they haven’t offered that for years besides enterprise customers.

And that’s before I ask everyone ‘so everyone download wireguard and scan your individual qr code, or I will send you the config file’ and everyone but a single user just hears the ocean. Then I need to teach them about VPNs, why we use it, why plex doesn’t work when the little lock isn’t showing on their phones, why ‘I had the lock in the corner but I couldn’t make a call or get online, so we are all getting [thing you don’t like] for dinner since I couldn’t ask’. Then I have to troubleshoot and tell them to toggle it off and on again…

The we get to the bit where they try to cast to the TV, and the chromecast is like ‘lol wtf is a VPN’ and we are back at square one, everyone hates me, I hate everyone right back, all changes from this experiment get reverted, and I lose credibility.

VPNs are useful, but I rage at people who assume they are a blanket solution for all situations and use-cases. And often, the people suggesting them are smug, like they have found something that nobody knows about and are superior because their situation doesn’t color outside of the lines.

Damn that was nice to vent. Been bothering me for way too damn long.

Oh won’t someone please think of poor Nvidia?!

“so it’s like TV, but on a much smaller screen, low resolution, with crappy speakers, a short battery life, all the advertisements of TV…”

“I know, it’s so revolutionary!”

So what’s the threshold for ‘mini’ vs ‘you need to stop’…? Number of hosts, or number of containers, or number of public services, or…

And being able to manage multiple hosts in one UI is the absolute tits. There are a few features I miss from portainer but none strong enough to pull me back. And no bs SaaS licensing and costs…

And then it can be another product that isn’t available globally, like the Fairphone…

Don’t worry, the FP will come to NA any day now… aaaaaaaaany day now…

I’m a rebel. And that’s my security plan.

Celebacy has nothing to do with marital status, lol. You can marry and never fuck.

Calling someone weird because of something harmless simply because it isn’t the norm, now that’s weird.

If you think that is weird, you must be celibate or something, lol.

Your honor, before we get to the proceedings, I would like to take a moment and thank our sponsor SQUARESPACE!
