Yes indeed, but this seems exactly up his alley. Very whimsical theme, lots of other great voice actors involved.

Yup, 100% intentional
- Comment on UK greenhouse gases fall again - as renewable electricity hits 50% for the first time 6 days ago:
China is by far the world’s largest installer of renewables. They are outpacing the rest of the world combined.
They are also the largest installer of dirty power like coal/oil. Ideally, and it sure looks like it from their recrbt power investments, they view coal/etc as stop gaps.

Biblically accurate angles are nightmare fuel.
Angels described in the bible aren’t people with pretty bird wings. They are oscillating, intersecting ribbons of eyes, pulsing and shifting and glowing.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
At the same time, a lot of the most famous YouTubers/etc are also deeply formulaic. They copy the same trends, use the same formats, and post the same kind of videos.
Gaming YouTubers flock to the same game at the same time or just play the ones that get big views like minecraft/etc, cooking youtubers are all doing “viral remakes” or “rate these 45 types of chicken nugget” or “eat the menu” videos/etc.
There are always solid people doing their own thing, but the social media zeitgeist is just recycled, low effort, high engagement garbage, just like netflix.

Wazuh is popular. It’s in use by name brand companies and is FOSS.

Cheddar, swiss and parm tend to be very low lactose based on how they are made too.
Likely not low enough for someone with a bad allergy, but mostly fine for run of the mill lactose intolerance.

- Comment on Comments from multiple posts on the same page 2 weeks ago:
That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page. Hopefully lemmy can implement somtjing similair.
I would reduce the distinctiveness, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on thr same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.

Apple tv has a tailscale client, as does android. Both also have jellyfin clients
I don’t think roku has either.

Darts and coin flips have been shown to consistently brat han advisors, so sure.
Im betting those same darts and coins will also beat the AI advisors too though.
- Comment on This queue for the new swasticar 3 weeks ago:
In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.
We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

They should put “arrives” in quotes, not Jetsons.
If you can’t buy this or even see it operating, it hasn’t arrived anywhere. Just more “home robots are really here this time guys, really i mean it this time, really. Give us billions and you’ll get one, for real.”

A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead.
I have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based magnitized internal human water.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
That was an incredibly long article that said very little at all. I recall torrentfreak being snappy articles about the futility of fighting piracy, but this was just run on nothing about sideloading apps on firesticks to watch futbol games. Lots of “tv broacasters dont like them but habent done much. They did a campaign, we have no data to provide. Also, there are apps people use, we didn’t like the permissions but wont name them. Also, here is a funny tshirt.”
Did torrentfreak lean into ai generated articles or is this just standard clickbait padding?
- Comment on Help me selfhosted, I'm in over my head! 5 weeks ago:
Well, the first step is realizing it’s okay not to use it. My homelab is a mix of salvaged mini PCs and prosumer networking gear. It has nothing to do with the 6/7 figure gear i use at work, and i prefer it that way. Its simpler and lower stages, is quieter, and uses way less power. Nothing at all wrong either that.
That all said, if you do want to use it, there are many ways to start. First, you don’t need to plug both power supplies in, but you can. The server can run entirely on one of them. It has two in case one fails it can keep running, not because it needs 2x the power. For the monitor, yes you will likely need VGA. Servers rarely have modern video ports, because vga just works, costs nothing to add to a server, and is almost never used. Most of your interaction with a servee shouod be though “out of band,” which dell calls “idrac.” This is a seperate networking port labeld on the several that lets you connect to a website, put in a password, and then fully control the server. That includes powering it on, reboots, loading disc image iso files, on and on. The idrac will stay powered even when the server is off.
You may or may not have qn idrac license for that server. If you dont and your boss can’t give you one, you can use something like jetkvm instead when it’s released.
As to what to do either it, i wpuld recommend installing different hypervisors or kubernetes suites and playing around. Proxmox, xcp-ng, k3s, harvestor, on and on. Once you find one you like, figure out hoe to use automation software to setup VMs and containers, like terraform, ansible, or nixOS.
Good luck, and enjoy. Getting started from scratch can be a lot, but it can also be a lot of fun. Go into expecting to fail, fail a lot and try to learn what you like. That’s the best thing a homelab is for.
- Comment on Nextcloud pod with Podman + Quadlet 5 weeks ago:
Amen to the weird network quirks. I was trying to use the Tailscale docker sidecar examples, but could not work put how to use them in quadlets.
I expect i need to make a .pod file and cominglr the quadlets that way, but just setting up a dedicated tailscale subnet router VM with /32 allowed addresses was about 10x easier.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
I disagree, as kodi syncs without issue for me and I much prefer its UX.
The nice part of jellyfin is that they support both kodi and a “jellyfin on kodi” experience natively. Plex has neither, with both being 3rd party where the support is miss.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
Here’s a pretty good list to get started with:
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
Plex was bought out by venture capital and has been enshittifing for years. “Free” media stream sources added riddled with adds that you have to opt put of, opt out “everyone can see what every is watching” features, nebulous “we need to upload hashes of your media to skip credits” privacy issues, abandoning apps for various platforms like kodi, on and on.
I have a lifetime pass, but now don’t consider plex a viable platform long term. The issues are not baseless, but rather based on what plex has decided to do to make even more money.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
The addons are great too. The intro/outro skip is slick and nearly flawless, subtitle download is seamless, on and on.
- Comment on Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy 5 weeks ago:
Seattle is pretty desperate for housing. 40k new units, especially municipal owned one since this is a city golf course, would be a huge stride forward.
There are talks to convert this into a beautiful park too, but the city government is not intersted.

“Corporations are people, my friend.”
No, it applies to “anyone,” its just that corporations can drag lawsuits for years to decades, so they get to make sweet heart deals for their crimes that the test of us dont.
