Is jellyfin that much better? I’ve seen people throw it around a lot and I’ve yet to try it. The big thing I like about Plex is Plexamp as a music app and it seems like Jellyfin lacks that for the time being.

The last time I pirated a game was for Freelancer. Couldn’t buy it anywhere except a CD and there was no guarantee it would work so I pirated it, it wasn’t what I expected, so I removed it.
I also downloaded a Halo CE crack for PC but I owned the physical disk and just used it to play with friends at a LAN party.
Otherwise there’s no reason to pirate anything gaming related, short of protest or something.
TV, movies and music are so hard to find. Lots of people will tell me “no just use Spotify”. No. Go try to listen to Turn the Page by Bob Seger, and not a live version. The only versions Spotify has are the live and the Metallica versions. Try to find Whitesnake’s Deep Purple cover album. I used to never pirate music because I could buy the few albums they didn’t have and upload them to Google music. Now, there’s no option for that. I’d rather have a smaller library with the music I want than a massive one that’s missing my favorites,
I think a drive like that is pretty much perfect. If their current usage is low enough that it’s still well above a consumer drive, then it would probably work.
Guess I can grab a couple of those and slot them in so I can start my server migration.
Yeah so for the actual data, it’ll all be HDDs. I’ve got a couple 8tbs I shucked from some EasyStores, got a 3rd WD Red and will be getting a 4th soon. So actual data is all gonna be stored there. This is specifically the OS/Programs stuff, which (and this may be my ignorance) I understand that I’d want to run Proxmox on the SSD. I just want them to be in a raid1 config here so that I have redundancy similar to the rest of the system, but I only need the one.
So yeah I’m just looking for what SSDs I should go for as my OS/Program drive, under the assumption I have to run Proxmox on that drive. If I’m mistaken then let me know, but that was my understanding. Like I said I’m somewhat new to self-hosting stuff so my current system is just Ubuntu for desktop that I pretend is a real server by SSHing into it with my desktop terminal.
Every time I call one of my higher ups at work he’ll say something dumb like “Dominos pizza how can I help you” or “This is the product owner help line, no we can’t change your due dates”.
I generally get a chuckle out of it.
Last time he called me his therapist.
Damn, looks like I got grandfathered then. $10/m isn’t terrible I guess, but it’s up to the individual.
I personally use Songsterr for tablature. It’s a little lacking in the chord chart department but I do really like their tab tools.
It has a monthly sub on desktop but on mobile I bought it once and have kept it forever so your mileage may vary.
Yeah I occasionally use Instagram and look at reels. Sometimes it’s fun to catch the one snippet from a comedy sketch instead of watching the whole thing.
That said, I wouldn’t miss anything if I deleted it tomorrow.
This is part of the reason I haven’t gone back to Linux for my gaming PC. I had zero desire to try to set a fan curve in the terminal.
So, I like metal. Death, thrash, heavy, doom, prog, it’s all great.
However, something like 8 years ago, I found myself really enjoying Lana Del Rey and I still can’t explain why. Then a year or two ago the same happened with Dua Lipa. They are the only artists I can’t explain and when I get suggestions similar to them I don’t like them.
Exactly. In that case, you have a meme that’s literally just about how Nazis are trying to get into the Fediverse. The fact that Nazis exist is a terrible thing, and both the beauty and the downside of the Fediverse is that they can make their own platform for that garbage. So a lot of people, and maybe rightfully so, might say we shouldn’t give them publicity so they downvote the post thinking that they’re in the right. Others might upvote the post because it’s a funny meme (which it is). Regardless, you now have people who can be “targeted” for agreeing with Nazis because they chose to vote the way they do.
Downvotes being public can lead to one of two things happening.
I think the former is much more likely than the latter, but then part of me believes that maybe it’ll lead to better discussion because you might be called on to defend your views more often. If you hate abortion and downvote a comment, you might now need to defend that stance which can potentially open up the discussion.
Ultimately, it’ll depend on the Lemmy community. If we’re just Reddit 2.0 (or 3.0 or 4.0 depending on how you look at it), then I think public downvotes can lead to worse conversation as bots and assholes target people who disagree. Inversely, if we are a better community that is more interested in discussion, then it could lead to better discussions overall. Looking over at any of the politics/news communities leads me to think it’s more of the latter, but the more niche communities seem to be much better.
I guess time will tell how it turns out.
One potential problem could be that if someone was dumb enough, they could write a script to automatically check for everyone who downvotes their comments and then automatically downvote all of theirs in return. Could also run into an issue where if you downvote something political, someone could then bring that up and say “remember that time you downvoted this comment about <insert hot button political topic>” and it might discredit you.
It’s a double edged sword. I personally don’t care, but some people might.
If you use Steam like most people, check out protondb. It’s not perfect as it only really shows off Steam games, but it’s a good start. Steam will also let you add a non-steam game to your library and Proton will attempt to work with it, and in general it seems pretty good. The only issue you’ll have is when you get to your super old games as the layer that Proton/Wine uses may not work, but for those you might as well just grab a VM and put a version of Windows on it that the game was built for.
The only thing preventing me from hopping back over to Linux is trying to reinstall my games. I’ve used it on and off for a few years and I loved it, but last time I had some issues with power and thought maybe Linux was doing something wonky (ended up being a PSU issue) and then Halo Infinite dropped and I wanted to play that.
In hindsight, both reasons were bad and I should have stayed on Linux.
At this point, the internet is so goddamn unusable without an adblocker that I don’t know why anyone would try.
At work, I’ll occasionally start talking to someone about some fandom like Star Wars or Pathfinder or whatever. I’ll go to the wikia or fandom page for them and suddenly I get a million popups and half the page is covered in ads. It’s actually so bad that my work’s filter will occasionally block a site because they’ll say that the ads are too bad.
The only time I see ads now is when I watch YouTube or Hulu on my TV, but even then I try to cast from my desktop (though Hulu ads seem to break through). I understand the idea of supporting creators, but for most YouTubers, their money comes from the sponsorships, not from me watching an ad.
I was somewhere around a year or two old. I can vividly remember me and the two neighbor girls who were 2 and 4 years older than me going into the bathroom and flushing some bath toy down the toilet, my dad being mad, then me asking if I could have it back when he unclogged the toilet.
I also distinctly remember trying to find a toy that for a while I thought was a fake memory that I made up. The toy was a small version of a T-16 Skyhopper that came with a Luke action figure. I had to have been 3 because that toy was 1999 and my memory was when we moved, and I remember that pretty well.
I also remember stepping on a carpet tack in our house, and I can even almost perfectly draw out that house’s layout even though it was in my first 3-4 years of life.
Interesting. I might have to get Jellyfin set up and run them simultaneously for a bit. Like I said my favorite Plex thing is Plexamp because it’s so clean and simple and I’d rather use a dedicated app for music instead of the main app.
I do like that it’s FOSS though, so that’s pretty great.
