• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex now will SELL your personal data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I host a Plex server for close to 70 friends and family members, from multiple parts of the world. I have over 60TBs of movies, tv shows, anime, anime movies, and flac music, and everyone can connect directly to my server via my reverse proxy and my public IPs. This works on their phones, their tvs, their tablets and PCs. I have people of all ages using my server, from very young kids to very old grandparents of friends. I have friends who share their accounts with their families, meaning I probably have already hit 100+ people using my server. Everyone is able to request whatever they want through overseerr with their Plex account, and everything shows up pretty instantly as soon as it is found and downloaded. It works almost flawlessly, whether locally or remotely, from anywhere in the world. I myself don’t even reside in the same home that my Plex server resides. I paid for my lifetime pass over 10 years ago.

  Can you guarantee that I can move over to jellyfin and that every single person currently using my Plex server will continue having the same level of experience and quality of life that they’re having with my Plex server currently? Because if you can’t, you just answered your own question. Sometimes we self host things for ourselves and we can deal with some pains, but sometimes we require something that works for more people than just us, and that’s when we have to make compromises. Plex is not perfect, and is actively becoming enshittified, but I can’t simply dump it and replace it with something very much meant for local or single person use rather than actively serving tens to hundreds of people off a server built with OTC components.

  Is Mr Fink aware of the fate of the last CEO who tried to extract profits from those in need? Because I’m starting to think he and his lot are asking for a refresher on the matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selling BTC or not..?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bitcoin went from under like 5k in 2020 to over 100k in 2024. The problem isn’t Bitcoin, it’s people thinking they can easily outperform Bitcoin by buying into shitcoins that are clearly Ponzi schemes and thinking they’ll know when to get out. Ask me how I know.

  Meanwhile, a friend wasn’t tempted by the shitcoins, simply bought BTC and ETH and held, now he’s easily 4x’d his money by doing as close to nothing as possible and most importantly, not touching fucking shitcoins.

  Bitcoin isn’t a gamble, a gamble is a gamble. Just like you can treat the SP500 as a retirement fund, or the source of your next options in a gamble.

  I’ve heard of people having breakthroughs/ego deaths while meditating, so it can definitely get there by the looks of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can give you my experience so far, seeing as the common criticisms of Linux usually boil down to unwillingness to try it as well as kernel level anticheat and Adobe products, and I…honestly don’t miss either of them, but I’m mostly a dev and a single player games enjoyer, so not much to miss, really.

  The speakers on my Razer blade laptop (running EndeavourOS, btw) stopped working randomly, but I’m not convinced it wasn’t my fault since I did have to work on the laptop internals for unrelated reasons and might have screwed something up.

  My webcam on my desktop, a Logitech Brio, has been acting up as of a couple of weeks on Bazzite, where the microphone keeps kinda dying and I have to unplug/re-plug the webcam to have a working mic. Also the audio quality on my Sony XM5s keeps changing to shitty quality, mostly when I do the re-plugging of the webcam, but it’s happened at random times before. Gotta go change the codec on the audio settings every now and then due to it.

  Monitor brightness can sometimes behave weirdly, not going back to a brighter setting after auto-dimming.

  Games with kernel anticheat don’t let me play online.

  This has mostly been it, to be honest. There’s a microscopic learning curve for Bazzite since it’s immutable, so I have flatpaks for most stuff, and “figure it out” for anything else, but other than that, it’s just better than Windows ever was. If you run into an issue, you’re most likely going to be able to solve it with a quick online search or by consulting the eldritch hallucinations of OpenAI or of your choosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At least learn a little bit about the technology you’re criticizing, such as the difference between fission (aka not fusion) and fusion (aka…fusion), before going on a rant about it saying it’ll never work.

  None of the reactors are being built with output capture in mind at the moment, because output capture is trivial compared to actually having an output, let alone an output that’s greater than the input and which can be sustained. As you’ve clearly learned in this thread, we’re already past having an output, are still testing out ways to have an output greater than an input, with at least one reactor doing so, and we need to tackle the sustained output part, which you’re seeing how it’s actively progressing in real time. Getting the energy is the same it’s always been: putting steam through a turbine.

  Fission is what nuclear reactors do, it has been used in the entire world, it’s being phased out by tons of countries due to the people’s ignorance of the technology as well as fearmongering from parties with a vested interest in seeing nuclear fail, is still safer than any other energy generation method, and would realistically solve our short term issues alongside renewables while we figure out fusion…but as I said, stupid, ignorant people keep talking shit about it and getting it shit down…remind you of anyone?
