  Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.

  I’m in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I’ve served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that’s going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.

  There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they’re mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There’s also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers ‘swarmed’ together. You’d have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it’s going to be weird.

  Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.

  This is actually a problem a lot of people are working on, they used to call the resulting failure ‘model collapse’. Training AI on existing slop does tend to deteriorate and is overall a bad time for AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Curious about your problem. I’m using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you’re describing previously.

  I don’t think there is any joke or subtext.

  I think that’s just kinda it.

  Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.

  Blah blah blah, ‘Quantum Realm’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This part should have been a lot more visible and not just hidden as part of a generalized forum post. The error the individual users got doesn’t do anything to make it clear what the user or server owners need to do.

  As an intentional change by Plex, presenting basic guidance as to what the error theyve caused means should be the absolute bare minimum. This is the piece that annoys me most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use this science wisely.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re facing down an unpopular opinion, but it’s mostly because you’re also obviously purposefully pretending that you don’t understand the real issue because I assume you’re trolling, bored, or maybe just a shitty person.

  You’re presenting it as ‘kids shouldnt watch porn’ but completely ignoring the implications to individual liberty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taco Bell Says 'No Más' to AI Drive-Thru Experiment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconded, mine got rid of actual in store ordering and replaced it with kiosks that are basically just a giant interface for the mobile app years ago. I’ve heard most of their drive through orders are from mobile orders too now, but that is purely anecdotal just from chatting with the guy at the drive through window while I was waiting after placing a mobile order in the parking lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.

  Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.

  It sucks that that’s the best option, but if we’ve made it to that point I personally would rather just use the website without extra steps.

  Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This interpretation of the meme doesn’t exactly predate genAI, but it does predate genAI becoming good enough to do this. We did have some weird stuff that google was messing with back then that was vaguely similar, but I don’t think we even called it AI at the time. It mostly made things that looked like LSD hallucinations.

  I bought a copy on etsy for someone shortly after pandemic lockdown back in 2020. It’s been awhile, but seem to remember the artist having several more meme interpretations in a similar style.

  People are downvoting you because you’re telling them that the law isn’t fair, sucks my friend.

  I do wonder if Xvideos or some of these other companies that are primarily international have any infrastructure in the US/Florida that could be affected by a ruling of some sort. I feel like there might be something there depending on how they’re taking payment for Xvideos Red.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mastercard is living the corporate dream. They’ve colluded their way to a near monopoly and don’t have to care about the value of their brand. They just have to be invisible enough that they don’t pull heat for something or other from various governments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hygiene⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be just poop, but combining old man smell, body odor and mold will make some gnarly stench. Still someone needs to get out the cleaning supplies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.

  Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fun and I recommend it, but I’m hesitant to say you can ‘replace’ your existing systems with it. You’ll probably mostly be able do what you want to do, but we’re still in the enthusiast stage and there’s going to be annoyances and frustrations. Home assistant is also one of the easier things to setup as far as self hosting goes, but you’re going to pick up some skills on the path to getting it working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The people who would typically be expected to push back against collective shout also typically wouldn’t be expected to do anything effective whereas the people involved with collective shout are the type of people who give politicians money.

  People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.
