Another vote for Silverbullet, it allows you to write your code blocks in a certain manner that you can query them, so it suits very well the use case.

So we would have gone full circle on Mainframes.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
Sure, and by that definition it’s also not magic in LoTR
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
So? It’s still super advanced technology from our point of view. Next you’ll tell me that Dune, Warhammer 40k or the Empire trilogy by Isaac Asimov are not advanced technology either because they’re stagnant too.
Technology is not the main focus of Star Wars, but they do have super advanced technology.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
I never said Star Wars was sci-fi, it’s not. But it does have super advanced tech which is the issue being discussed.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
Absolutely, there are lots of examples, but the first that comes to mind is Warhammer 40k, they have super advanced technology and magic coexisting and sometimes intermingling.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
Any universe where they have super advanced tech they’ll treat it like we treat cars, because cars are also super advanced tech, it’s just a tech you see daily and are familiar. How do you expect characters in a super technologically advanced world to react? They see that every day, it’s not news to them.

Which is why I prefer Silberbullet
- Comment on Is it weird to sometimes wonder wether everything you know is wrong? 2 weeks ago:
Great, go with that, what if?
What if trans people are just mentally ill? Well, if they’re mentally ill then that implies that there’s a cure, we don’t know what that cure is, therefore treating it like an illness is pointless. Instead we should treat it like a condition, i.e. something that the person has to live with. Other examples of conditions are ADHD or Autism, and how do we deal with those? Well, the first step is always for the person to accept that they have that condition and make arrangements so that they can live a “normal” life, these might include taking prescription drugs to normalize their brain chemistry but also behavioral and environmental changes to make their situation more comfortable, including asking people to have leniency on stuff like tardiness which is difficult for them to control. And how is that any different from a trans person taking hormones and asking people to use different pronouns? Why does it matter to me if the person wants to transition? It’s their body, I don’t care if someone does plastic surgery to change their nose, why should I care about their genitalia?. So what if being trans was a mental illness? Until a cure is found nothing changes, whenever a cure gets found then we can reopen the discussion, but unless a person is being a menace to others I oppose the idea of mandatory treatment, so it would be up to trans people whether they wanted to change their body or their minds, and I know what I would choose 100% (I’m a mind, I have a body, changing my body doesn’t change who I am, so that’s an easy choice for me).
What of gay people are just deviants? First you would have to define deviant, but in any sense of that word it honestly doesn’t matter, because what two consenting adults decide to do, deviant or not, is their own business. So why should you care?. The only “valid” answer here that I can think of involves religion, but we live in a secular society, where we recognize freedom of religion, therefore your religious ideas can’t be imposed onto others, so it’s not a valid argument in our society either.
So long story short, what if trans are mentally ill? Nothing changes, they should still be able to choose the sort of treatment they would prefer for their “illness”, and hormonal therapy, surgery and asking people to use different pronouns is a valid treatment. What if gays were deviant? Nothing changes, any group of people where all of them are consenting adults should be able to do whatever the hell they want to. So what if you’re wrong? You still should behave the way you already do, so nothing changes.
- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 2 weeks ago:
I had that same problem, then I saw some YouTube videos where the guy recommended using Ansible to do stuff and it’s been night and day, not only it’s reproducible so if I ever want to move a service to another machine all I have to do is move a couple of roles around and possibly copy stuff over to keep the data but also it acts as documentation, because if I ever forget something I can look at the code.
Also I decided to write the roles myself instead of relying on pre-existing ones, so there’s some logic to how my stuff gets deployed and it’s easy to extend for any new stuff I want to add.
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on what you want the server to do. A Minecraft server and a Pihole server have vastly different requirements. As a general rule, any old laptop or desktop will do, think on requirements for your grandma and that should cover most (except gaming servers) needs.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 2 weeks ago:
I get what you meant but a couple means 2, so someone uploading once a week for a couple of weeks means he uploaded 2 videos, which could just be coincidence, not a pattern.
- Comment on Plebbit Will Never Deliver, Apologies for the Hype, Lemmy's Where I’m Staying 3 weeks ago:
It’s still a decentralized system, and saying that they aren’t because the default is for everyone to use the same node is either disingenuous or missing the point entirely. By your definition decentralization is impossible, because you always need to know at least one node in the network in order to enter.
- Comment on Plebbit Will Never Deliver, Apologies for the Hype, Lemmy's Where I’m Staying 3 weeks ago:
That’s just pedantic, you will always need to know where the door is to enter the network, but in both cases even if that specific server that you know gets taken down you can still enter by any other server you might discover in any other way. It doesn’t cease to be centralized because you are using the same single node to get into the network, that would be like claiming email is not federated because you only use Gmail, or because you need to know the email of the person you’re writing to.
- Comment on Does alcohol speed up evolution? 3 weeks ago:
No. Alcohol is not mutagenic, the issues it causes in fetus are not DNA related. On the other hand smoking or other carcinogens definitely do affect DNA so they could “speed” evolution. Unfortunately any species advanced enough to smoke will also be advanced enough to be able to control the environment around them to a certain extent, so besides the one good trait getting develop you would also have dozens if not hundreds of bed ones that get preserved because the species is somewhat above natural selection.

Also, I can tell you from personal experience, cards were working Monday during the blackout. Not on wireless machines obviously since we had no cellphone reception, but for example Supermarkets were letting you pay with a card.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Then why are you using Jellyfin for?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Unless you host the videos with them an use their Stream solution yes.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
It’s not completely gone, it’s just that now they offer you a way to do it, here’s some doc about it:
Finally, we made it clear that customers can serve video and other large files using the CDN so long as that content is hosted by a Cloudflare service like Stream, Images, or R2
Source: blog.cloudflare.com/updated-tos/
some users attempt to misconfigure our service to stream video in violation of our Terms of Service
Source: …cloudflare.com/…/delivering-videos-with-cloudfla…
In short, streaming videos hosted on your server is still against TOS, but they now offer a thing called Stream where you can host videos to be streamed without violating it.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Plex doesn’t even work properly unless you set it up with network mode host, otherwise it always considers your service to be remote because they’re not on the same network as anything you try to watch it from. Jellyfin requires lots less access, and you’re so worried about it you can add a Tailscale mod to the container and isolate it completely so it’s only accessible via Tailscale similarly to what you think Plex is doing (which doesn’t harden security as much as you think)
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
You’re replying to a message that literally says that, so it makes you sound like you think Tailscale is somewhat integrated into Jellyfin, because the message originally said exactly that you needed a third party app to solve this issue in Jellyfin
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
How do I install it on my mom’s Chromecast or my sister’s LG TV?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
You completely ignored his question, Tailscale is not a valid solution for your mom’s Roku
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
How would you have worded it differently? Since the email needs to be sent because the person is losing a feature (they might not use it because they only stream from you, but they might stream from someone else, so they should be made aware of it)
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Erm… AFAIK Plex doesn’t work offline, so you are open to the internet. And BTW what Plex does is very similar to what Jellyfin+Tailscale would do
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Your smart tv might not have VLC in it. That’s like saying “I don’t NEED financing, I can pay for my house all at once”, like, good for you, but you’re in a very privileged spot, and VLC is a beast so it’s really not fair to compare it with an embebed video player on a smart tv or something. You can disable transcoding btw, it’s enabled by default so that it’s more compatible, which makes absolute sense.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
Unfortunately most smart TVs lack a Tailscale app, so it’s not always possible.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
It’s against Cloudflare TOS to stream video.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 4 weeks ago:
It is against Cloudflare TOS to stream video through them.
- Comment on Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) 4 weeks ago:
One of my favorite games to play with my SO is Out of Space the vibe is very similar to Overcooked but it’s procedurally generated and a lot more chilled out, i.e. less chaos.
