- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 15 minutes ago:
Are you sure? Sounds like how it used to be, you know, before people were taken off the streets by masked men.

Is there nothing that he won’t fuck up?
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 4 days ago:
LOL. That’s not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.
What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 5 days ago:
Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 5 days ago:
Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 6 days ago:
Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 week ago:
I never played the others. I play with my friend overseas every Monday. He chooses the games. He may have chosen it because it is cooperative, online and not PvP. IDK.
But we also play, Aliens, Grimm Dawn, all of the borderlands games, like literally ALL of them including Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Two is my favorite.

Diablo 4. I mean, I know it is easy, but I felt the version of Halo I played was way easy and it has a good reputation.
- Comment on Protip: 1 week ago:
That’s kind of disgusting.
- Comment on What is Docker? 1 month ago:
As I mentioned, I didn’t really know where to post it. I guess my lemmy-foo isn’t up to snuff. I saw that this appears to be in lemmy.world, but only 10 options came up when I tried to post and none of them really seemed right. Comments?

Thank you for the thorough response. After looking carefully at what you wrote I didn’t really see a difference between the term self-hosting and home network.
You said you have software that automatically downloads media. The way I see this using movies for instance, if I own the movies and have them on my machine, then I can stream them over my network and have full control. Whereas if I “own” them on Amazon and steam it from there, they can track the viewing experience, push ads, or even remove the content completely. I understand that… But if I want a NEW movie, I’m back to Amazon to get it in the first place (or Netflix, or Walmart, etc. I get it). I’m fact, personally I’ve started actually buying disks of the movies/music I like most so that it can’t really be taken away and I can enjoy it even without an Internet connection. Am I missing something? Unless of course the media you are downloading is pirated.
I know I’m asking what seems to be a huge question but I’m really only asking for a broad description, sort of an ELI5 thing.
- Comment on What is Docker? 1 month ago:
Wow! Thank you all for the civilized responses. This all sounds so great. I am older and I feel like I’ve already seen enough ads for one lifetime and I hate all this fascist tracking crap.
But how does that work? Is it just a network on which you store your stuff in a way that you can download it anywhere or can it do more? I mean, to me that’s just a home network. Hosting sounds like it’s designed for other people to access. Can I put my website on there? If so, how do I go about registering my domain each year. I’m not computer illiterate but this sounds kind of beyond my skill level. I’ll go search Jellyfin, weird name, and see what I can find. Thanks again!

I’ve never posted on Lemmy before. I tried to ask this question of the greater community but I had to pick a community and didn’t know which one. This shows up as lemmy.world but that wasn’t an option.
Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host? What is the advantage/cost. Sorry if I’m hijacking. Maybe someone could just post a link or something.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 1 month ago:
Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 months ago:
Why would you come back?
- Comment on Consumers now face "tariff surcharges" for some goods as companies pass along costs 2 months ago:
I know some of the tariffs have gone into effect but can any product sold today possibly have been imported in the last couple of days? Sounds like they are getting a premature jump on the upcharges.
- Comment on US small business owner says China tariffs endanger her company: ‘I could lose my home’ 2 months ago:
No. She’s supposed to CREATE the factory and make jobs, you know, immediately.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 2 months ago:
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 2 months ago:
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Better than lying and feeding him a line of BS that he can be president or an astronaut or something when the likelihood is so low. Tell him he would make a great accountant. Is he good at math. LOL.

Great. So we’re stuck like this?
- Comment on Couldn't be worse than what we have now... 2 months ago:
I heard that NASA upgraded the likelihood of Earth being hit by an asteroid and I thought to myself…that might not be so bad.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 months ago:
I’m sorry, but this is NOT the kind of person I want in prison. AND I don’t want prisons profiting off her misery.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I would say the same thing about Americans (yes I know you’re Americans too. I think we all know I mean the US). If you meet MAGA on the street in a non-political way, they might be super nice. You might have a great interaction. I have traveled around the world and I maintain that food service personnel in the US are the friendliest. I’m guessing many of them are MAGA.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
Well that was my point. Tariffs give greed the opportunity to metastasize in the darkness, because people expect the price to go up anyway.

- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 months ago:
Ah, don’t be so hard on yourself. I’ve only had great experiences traveling in Canada and I like to think of Canadians as our brothers. There’s good and bad everywhere. I might have had a miserable trip to New Zealand if I had left just an hour later. Who knows.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 months ago:
New Zealand. So wanted to stay there. Made Canadians look a little rude. LOL.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 months ago:
This is the problem with tariffs, it’s an opportunity for greedy corporations to increase prices MORE than the tariffs or on products not covered by the tariffs and no one will be the wiser.
