- Comment on If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone. 3 weeks ago:
Everyone is being deliberately decided. It’s not specific to minority groups. I guess my issue is that the post is vague and assumes minority groups act as voting blocs which is pretty simplistic. OP is basically saying what everyone already knows: that there are more people making up “minorities” than there are making up the “majority.” I would argue that your local community has a higher impact on your vote than your ethnicity or race. For sure, those play a part, but they don’t singularly define your vote. Also, various minority groups skew quite differently. Latinos typically skew more conservative than, say Jews or blacks.

I do, and my point wasn’t. Not all minority groups agree on everything just because they’re minorities. The world is a tad more complicated than that. Besides, what are they “coming together” to do? Overthrow the “majority?” Does that automatically assume that the majority is wrong and minorities are right just because they’re minorities? Again, the world’s just not that simple.

This assumes the minority groups cal all agree on things in order to “come together.”
- Comment on Plan for my first homeserver 3 weeks ago:
So long as Tailscale maintains their free tier, they would fit OPs needs just fine. If they move to get rid of, or otherwise enshitify the free tier, there would likely be time to move to wireguard or something similar.

I thought Omnivore was sold.
Also, isn’t pocket being renamed to something? Odd having it listed as an “alternative” to itself!
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
They’re all just dumb consumer switches. Nothing managed… yet.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
This sounds pretty great, TBH. I think I’m probably tied to Synology for the foreseeable future with my parents’ and my NAS being each others off site backup. I know there are other ways to do it, but the investments are already made on both ends. Plus, they’re retired, so the 1522 with 18TB drives wasn’t a small expense for them!
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
Aside from looking at the current activity on the server web page, where might I look to see if this is true?
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
Agreed! The library is populated by my parents and me. I’d have to look again, but i think it’s around 12TB.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
Everything’s wired. Router is a TP-Link BE63, 2 APs w/ wired backhaul. Shield is on the same switch as the synology. STBs are throughout the house, but generally max 3-hops to the Shield/Synology. All Netgear bluebox 1Gb dumbswitches. At some point in the near future, I plan on getting this stuff to a central switch, so everything is a leaf switch away from it.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
Got it: qbit == qbittorrent. I’ve thought about getting the remaining docker containers off of the Synology. I may look into that this weekend.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
The network testing I’ve done (iperf and file transfers) hasn’t revealed any issues. I’m seeing consistent 1Gb speeds. I could try some wireshark monitoring, I guess.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
limit qbit upload speed
Not sure what you’re referring to here.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
I see no other issues from the network. The thing that “changed” is me trying to watch 4k stuff on my plex server. Up until recently, I didn’t bother with 4k. No real reason for trying it now, TBH. I’ve never felt that 4k was necessary for home viewing on anything smaller than a 100” screen (my largest if 75”).
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
I’ve updated the OP to answer this. I think serving the media from the spinning disk is the heart of the problem.
- Comment on Plex Server Replacement 5 weeks ago:
I have thought of that… Most of the daily driver systems in the house are Macs, so it would probably work out pretty well.

I missed that. Sad, especially considering the article said it! Guess I was seeing red (pardon the pun).
- Comment on US govt revokes Harvard's right to enroll foreign students 1 month ago:
Harvard needs to sue. I don’t know who or what, but they need to bring suit. Seriously, they have a pretty decent law school, run by some fairly knowledgeable people. When they decided not to bend over to the administration (ahem, Columbia), they had to know this would end up in court. Everything with Trump winds up in court, and he’s not going to listen to any results unless it’s from SCOTUS, and even then… So Harvard had to understand that was the fight they were picking. At this point, if they back down I would almost hold them in higher contempt than Columbia. At least Columbia didn’t bother putting up a front.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 2 months ago:
My dad and I each have Synology NAS. We do a hyper sync backup from one to the other. I back up to his and vice versa. I also use syncthing to backup my plex media so he can mount it locally on his plex server.
- Comment on How To: Automate version update for your selfhosted Docker containers with Gitea, Renovate, and Komodo 3 months ago:
If I understood correctly, he manually runs watchtower to poll rather than leaving it running all the time. What wasn’t clear to me was if he has it doing the updates (evidenced by him saying he cleans up where needed after) or just pull down the updated images and he then manually restarts/rebuilds the container.
I leave it running all the time and it only updates at something like 03:00. The only containers I don’t have set to latest are DBs as major updates tend to break things.
- Comment on Recommend EU webhosting provider to replace DreamHost? 3 months ago:
I’m curious about the same thing, but also curious what you’re using your traditional hosting for. I also have had DH shared hosting for years and never had an issue. I don’t know if I’m ready to drop it, but not sure if I still need it.
