  Never played the game and probably never will, but I wanted to say this anyways: stay awesome!

  It’s people like you, who do stuff out of passion and not monetary gain, that made the internet so great.

  I try to stay out of American politics because I get that my views are probably skewed being in Europe, but I do see his approval ratings close to and sometimes above 50% on certain areas.

  Without telling you what to do about it, I must admit it scares me to think that there are millions of people agreeing with what he’s doing. It feels like the US is a preassure cooker only just getting started, slowly inching towards a disastrous explosion.

  What are the realistic potential outcomes of everything going on?

  As a Jellyfin-fanboy: you are right. Plex is easier to deal with out of the box.
  Anything else would not make any sense for a paid service.

  I’d say though, if you dedicate the time to set it up correctly, it is an equally good solution and it’s free.
  If time is a factor in your life, then there is no shame in paying for something that just works. It’s why I have a Synology NAS and not a self-built Unraid or OMV server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

  Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don’t know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but want to add Portainer. Compose in Portainer takes away the scary SLI/Terminal part.

  At least for me, hosting stuff went from «I have no idea what I’m doing» to «This sort of makes sense».

  Yeah I’ve seen those, but not on a hob with downward draft in the middle.

  Maybe someone will make them in the future or I win the lottery and can pay Bora/Gaggenau prices….

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this apply if you use extraction?

  I’ve had induction for many years, but I really want a combo with both. Making wok on induction is crap as the sides don’t get hot at all. I also have a hot spot in the center of all frying pans which is annoying when frying bigger things or several things at once.

  My dream is a Gaggenau or Bora top with one side induction and one side gas. I already have the mid extractor with outside piping, so no recirculation.
  I just cannot justify the $10k price tag and nobody else makes it with a fan in the middle.

  Cheers! Will have a look when I have time

  Oooo can you tell me more?
  I have a UPS and it’s connected to and communicate with my Synology, but the NUC could also benefit from a safe shutdown in case of power outages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Serious question: wouldn’t the MAGA/Republicans just pick up arms in return?
  It feels like the divide in the US is so massive right now that you can’t agree on anything at all. No offence intended…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then don’t heat up the battery, and see if it runs. Won’t work, because EV’s have to heat up the battery to get it working, because **they don’t function in extreme cold.**.

  Literally your quote that I responded to and the lane I’ve been trying to stick to and make you admit is blatantly wrong.
  You still haven’t which is proof to the rest of us you are ether a troll or an idiot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A charger that doesn’t work when EV’s need them the most is a terrible bussiness idea when people pay per kW/h !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you read your own links at all before sending them?

  Tesla owners line up, hoping to get a charge.

  You need more chargers. Not the cars fault.

  A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.

  Yes, like I said: cold batteries charge slower. This is well known. Drive a bit before expecting to push 200 kW into a frozen battery. I’ve ghit my max (155 kW) many times.

  Other drivers spoke about how the cold seemed to drain their batteries more quickly than normal.

  Also well known. All cars use more energy to heat up the cabin in winter, including ICE vehicles.

  Other Tesla drivers report no issues.

  Crazy, it works for some. Maybe they have these magical batteries you accused us of having?

  “We do get less mileage on the battery in extreme temps which means we have to charge more often” in the cold, she added.

  Which nobody ever denied being true.

  The problems that are being reported this week seem to center on long lines at Supercharger stations, Maslan said. But she adds that in nearly 10 years of owning a Tesla, she’s never had to wait for a Supercharger slot. Other than being mindful of the potential for reduced range, she concluded, “I’ve never had a problem driving the car due to the cold.”

  Incredible! Her car must be exported from Norway! Zero issues in 10 years, just like we experience here! Unbelieveable.

  I’m out of this argument now. You have demonstrated that you have absolutely zero knowledge of how EV’s work and you are a waste of everybodys time and energy.
  Stay clueless and ignorant, I don’t really care, but for anyone reading this in the future: surph_ninja literally argued batteries don’t work in the cold in a thread about EV’s being sold in the frozen hellhole called Norway. The irony is incredible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The exact same batteries as you have in your EV’s, which is why you are either ill-informed or lying. I am guessing it’s the first, so I am arguing in good faith.

  Just take a step back: A country with 5,5 million people and 93% of all new cars are EV’s. Who has more knowledge on how they work in the cold? You, my new found friend on Lemmy, or us?
  Not trying to be snarky, but we drive them every single day in winter. Batteries do not need to be heated to work, so please stop spreading this lie.
  They DO however need a certain battery temp to charge, but that’s a different discussion.

  I’m not arguing against hydrogen cars. I am just correcting some if the claims you have made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re incredibly confident for being so blatantly incorrect.

  We had negative 30 C last winter. I drove my EV to work every single day. When the batteries were cold I had reduced power available, which made no difference at all as it was -30 C and snow everywhere.
  Using the battery also heats it up. Zero pre-heating of the batteries. I can literally watch my available power return while driving normally.

  If batteries wouldn’t work in the extreme cold, they would not be able to turn over the starter on your ICE car either, which it very clearly does….

  You are literally arguing against something close to a million people do in Norway every single day between November and March. Open a map and look how far north we stretch. Oslo is as far north as Vancouver. People live and drive EV’s in Hammerfest.

  So please, just stop. You are dead wrong about batteries/EV’s, but take this chance to learn something new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardware upgrade recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d probably go for a small N100 mini-PC.
  Should be plenty powerful for what you need, very low wattage and relatively trivial to get GPU pass through in Proxmox. Alternatively one of the more powerful versions.

  This depends on how many cameras, resolution and frequency of course, but you should be able to see if others with similar setups have it running smoothly. You’d be limited on storage, but can set up NFS to your NAS or existing server.

  Make that at least two of us.

  This instance has been nothing but great since day one, from stability and transparency to level head mods and admins.
  They deserve a bit of praise every once in a while.

  Thanks for everything you do!
