That was my thought…
“Somehow they got the Plex app installed…”
Jellyfin somehow works on freaking Roku, even, and WELL. Just give the URL to connect to, they pick a profile, and boom, “Netflix who?”.

Lol just had a funny thought:

Slightly unrelated but when my family was remodeling our kitchen in the home I grew up in, we pulled the oven out and found the side of the cabinet had an interesting scrawl on it that must’ve been from one of the builders:
“When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of beer.”
I found it so amusing wondering the motive behind that was. Lol

One possibility could be because in conventional “computer counting” in (most) coding languages, it starts at zero. Like if I make an array of things
[monke, chimp, peanut]monke would be
[0]chimp would be
[1]peanut would be
[2]Once I learned about this concept I started naming enumerated things from 0 usually just to keep a kind of consistency. Maybe I think if it’s a habit, I won’t make those mistakes with code. :p

That’s hilarious. Now I wanna set up a Wi-Fi hotspot with that SSID at a local library or something for lulz.

Not gonna lie, from what I’ve heard from the trenches, “insanity” and “madness” sound like fantastic names for printers or print servers, but the router also makes perfect sense! Lol
- Comment on What host names do you use? 3 weeks ago:
For my ProxMox server stuff I went with Lord of the Rings. The idea being the servers would be locations and the VMs would characters.
So right now my main server is Rivendell, and my PiHole on it is Gandalf (“You shall not pass!” Heehee eventually he’ll have OPNSense too…)
If I get HomeAssistant at some point, obviously that’ll be Samwise!
My Klipper VM for 3D printing is Celebrimbor, and the individual printers are named after various deities or myth figures of crafting/smithing/creativity like Brigid and Eitri.
For my client devices, I name my personal hardware after BattleTech mechs and that works well. It’s intuitive because I can line up various roles and weight classes.
So my main desktop is Timberwolf, and my laptops are named after light mechs like Kitfox or Mistlynx.
Phones and tablets I don’t really care about, they usually just name themselves after their model anyway. :)

This is the most solar punk answer ever! XD Love it. That’s really neat. I struggle so much with naming schemes.
- Comment on Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options? 3 weeks ago:
Lots of good responses here. That’d be a really scary find, OP, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. :(
As much as I also long for justice, I also totally understand the inclination towards just nuking and paving the whole thing and moving on. Some factors that occurred to me:
Those posting it might be outside your nation’s jurisdiction.
They might just be bots.
The above, plus they might be using “zombie” machines to bounce this material around unguarded servers wherever they can. It could be very difficult to ascertain who is behind this.
I agree with others that you should only move forward under the guidance of a good lawyer, because you don’t want to be the most convenient potential suspect they have access to.

Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while…
…then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers’ rights…
…Then we stopped joking so much…
…and now they’re not doing so hot again.
I think there’s a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue to spur them to greatness once more, if only out of spite?
- Comment on I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it. 4 weeks ago:
Because of course now they’d start just quote-pulling from a book there’s no way they’ve read. Can we go back to when they were just pseudo-scientific?
- Comment on Lemmy’s essential 25 PS1 games 4 weeks ago:
I was gonna say Star Ocean: Second Story, because it’s incredible.
But “Second Story R”, the recent remake, is incredibly good and clearly made by people who understand and love the original. I’d go so far as to say “objectively superior version.”
Even the soundtrack I’d call “enhanced” instead of “changed.” I’m continually impressed and loving every minute of it. Especially since I got really stuck on the PS1 version and never beat it.
So here’s one I’m not sure I’ve seen here yet!
Dragon Valor. It was a really neat fantasy beat 'em up by Namco, with some cool ideas and presentation, fun combat, really slick aesthetic, and a Castlevania-esque storyline of playing various characters through a family legacy.
It was really neat. And when I had trouble with a gimmick to beat the final boss, Namco’s support email kindly replied to me back in the day with a hint. That was pretty cool. :D

- Comment on I love the future. 5 weeks ago:
That’s always the struggle, just like marching up to the manager’s office to demand better. Yeah you all get fired up and heated in the break room, but when you actually hit the stairs, can you trust them to follow? Or do they just want to complain and keep the status quo?
This irritating effect of individualism and mistrust is why we struggle to cooperate. There’s so few unifying ideals anymore.
The other problem is a simple matter of logistics. How do you actually make your stand to do something good, and not just be a group of easily snuffed rabblerousers that get easily snuffed out, or worse, hurt the people you’re fighting for?
Idiot fascist movements seem far easier to motivate because you simply need to ask “Hate something? Hate everything? Blaming someone else? Show up and scream something to feel like you matter! Violence not guaranteed but encouraged.”
True, we’re collectively against President Musk and his weird little orange purse poodle, but nobody understands practical tactical leadership to actually gain any kind of momentum. Everybody’s just trying to simultaneously shout over the crowd or worse, infighting each other over superficial ideals.
It’s bleak.

- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 weeks ago:
I’m a bit biased as I started with Jellyfin, but the Roku app works flawlessly on the family TV.
I’d advise at least becoming mildly familiar with how you’d go about it, since corpos suddenly rug-pulling existing users and forcing subscriptions is pretty common, basically expected, behavior of American business now.
That way you have an “out” and your service can have minimal downtime. :)
On the other hand, you might just find you like how sleek and functional Jellyfin is. I can only see wins for you here. :p
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 month ago:
I really miss the early mobile games days, when they were still experimenting with the format and you had games like Angry Birds, Infinity Blade, Peggle, and various Marble Madness or Monkey Ball clones, just for starters.
People were making games designed to be fun, and if they were addictive, it was because you were enjoying yourself. If you bought the game they didn’t care how addicted you got or not, only that you didn’t tell all your friends it sucked! Lol
Once it started taking notes from the casino industry, that was it. I don’t even open the Play Store anymore.
Just now had a thought: If places like Newgrounds or ArmorGames were pay to play for developers like the mainline mobile stores are, I bet we would have seen a lot more of that nonsense a lot sooner. (kongregate seems to serve a perfect example of this.)
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 1 month ago:
It might be some way, however not easily. My mega-corpo ISP blocks incoming connections on common hosting ports, because they want to
keep the network safesell expensive home-business plans. LolI’m also very amateur at this as I go along, and I’m not sure I’m ready to deal with the fallout of missing some security step and getting my server botted or ransomwared lol.
I haven’t done the hardware stuff with setting up my own router/firewall box either, for instance.
So Tailscale works really well for me by seemingly magically bypassing a lot of that nonsense and giving me less to worry about. They allow 3 users for free, but have a relatively inexpensive family plan for like 6 users as well, if that becomes necessary.
I mainly just need to tell them not to try and use my server as an exit node if they’re across the country 😂.
But yeah definitely, I’m using this as a way to test the waters for running service alternatives as the web we knew collapses around us lol. I’m not ready to be running something people really rely on yet, though. :)
