them vets are the main foment vector for what we now know as the white supremacy movement. not that the sentiment wasn’t prevalent, but it was disjointed groups, churches, cults, klan, militias, prison gangs, etc., each pushing their own thing with only limited local reach.
the influx of large swaths of radicalized and trained MAMs was the igniter. all those power squabbling groups started coming together under one banner and they had a new tool - computers.
early on, they realized you can reach a whole lotta more folks with the new tech than the usual zines and the like. so they formed armored truck robbing gangs, and used the proceeds to buy home computers for establishing a network of BBS all over the country. I mean, if that’s not a michael mann movie, I don’t know what is…

- Comment on Self Hosting for Privacy - Importance of Owning your own Modem/Router? 1 week ago:
I’ve gave up on mine for a non-privacy related reason: they often reboot the thing remotely, for updating or whatnot. not a big deal per se, the problem - my local network stops working, and that I will not abide. so once I stopped using it, the rest (pihole, unbond, etc) came on its own and now I’m not going back.

that’s what syncthing is for. you can set it up to sync the Notes folder to your other devices in a read/write way or just one way, so you got your central repo.
also, qown has a nextcloud support built in, so it can sync to your nextcloud notes.
- Comment on Another suggestion post 2 weeks ago:
why would you host anything? that’s just an app. QOwnNotes (stupidest name ever) stores .MD files that you can syncthing, rsync, copy, edit externally, whatever, allowing you never to be locked-in again. all the toolboxes can be turned off, netting you a UI that looks like apple’s notes.

- Comment on How to self-host a Prosody XMPP server on Bazzite with Podman for Movim 4 weeks ago:
I am the first to pile on shit on people who are like buy new stuff, but in this instance, yeah, get a $20 laptop with a busted screen or sumsuch, install debian, and use it normally (docker compose).
you need the least amount of movable parts in this setup and yours is just too off kilter for a server.
- Comment on Availability issues 5 weeks ago:
not dealt with such a thing, but a decomissioned phone or laptop is the most obvious solution.
laptops you can get cheap when they have like busted screens and any reasonably modern (like decade old) can operate in sub-5W territory; coupled with a good battery, that should provide you with tens of hours of battery powered use, and you can expand that, with powerbanks and such.
alternatively, a cheap phone that can run postmarketOS or mobian. even lower consumption and more options to extend power availability.

jellyfin has the option to host your books, and with the OPDS plugin you can pull books directly off the server with compatible readers (koreader, moon+, etc), no need to copy things around manually.
- Comment on YSK that Politico is a subsidiary of Axel Springer, a right-wing propaganda house 1 month ago:
valid and no love for those fucks, but you’ll find that practically every media outlet is owned or controlled by the forces of evil. on the other hand, politico didn’t start as an AS wing, it got acquired. plus, there’s not a lot of places real journos can work at.
we’re in deep into the enshittocene, there is no other solution than to treat every source with the same healthy scepticism and distance you’d apply in the school yard - “oh yeah?”, “how come?”, “says who?”, etc.
- Comment on Mattermost is no longer Open-Source 1 month ago:
honestly with their whole military! fuck yeah!1!! spiel, they can get fucked. along with all other corpos with their gaping assholes to cram evermore cash into them, and that includes element the corp; they got the other fetish - cops.
- Comment on YSK that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex criminal. He was a world class manipulator. He knew how to play a fundamentally rotten business culture better than anyone in New York 1 month ago:
very cool writeup. I’ve tried on a couple occasions to get a grip on how fucko made all that money. and every time, including wikipedia, it was like met some folks, bear sterns, clients, consulting, insulting, yadda, yadda, he a billionaire… like holup, I’m doing some tallying here, what was the middle part…?
way easier to grasp when a) it ain’t actually tres comas, let alone a multiple of that and b) it’s just a series of grifts, swindles, and embezzlements of one not really that savvy confidence man.

don’t know what “slow” means in your case, but jellyfin clients have a buffer setting and increasing it should improve things for them.

this is a problemXY type of deal. leave the work PC alone. metrolist on android has everything you mentioned, allows download so it’s even available offline, etc.

- Comment on LGA1155 motherboard - no USB ports work 2 months ago:
yes, I know what a CMOS reset is, comes up, says settings are wiped, you want defaults, etc., no change. got a USB to PS2 adapter and I can move around the setup, tried everything and then some.
it hasn’t anything to do with settings, something got fried here and was looking for pointers what to look at.
- Comment on LGA1155 motherboard - no USB ports work 2 months ago:
has 5V on all ports I measured. UEFI doesn’t detect keyboard or mouse and they don’t light up.
- Comment on LGA1155 motherboard - no USB ports work 2 months ago:
gonna try measuring the voltage and report back. tried clearing PRAM, isn’t a settings thing. yeah, was busted already, that’s how I got it.
- Comment on LGA1155 motherboard - no USB ports work 2 months ago:
got the board for free, it had those issues with the dude’s CPU, it has it with mine too, socket looked OK, no bent pins I can see. isn’t a settings or software issue, tried all that.

have the data drive (movies, backups, etc) get decrypted with a keyfile from the system SSD. you’re safe to lose, throw away, sell your data drive and don’t have to bother with shredding the data. this takes hours for drives of any significant size.
- Comment on Internal domain and reverse proxy 5 months ago:
Imma be the problemXY guy here - ditch the https part. without it, you don’t gotta deal with certs, signing, shit that’s outside your LAN, etc. it’s your LAN, do you really need that level of security? who’s gonna sniff packets and shit on your LAN?
now all you need is pihole where you set up your hostnames (jellyfin.lan, nextcloud.lan, etc.) and nginx proxy that maps e.g. jellyfin.lan to 192.168.0.123:8096. both of them run plenty fine in docker.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 5 months ago:
got this thing almost free so I’m taking my time. can’t afford to call a repairdude so I’m looking into learning how to fix it. had success with a previous find, replaced a coupla caps for backlight and got an awesome TV for less than $2.
so step 1, look for obviously busted caps and burned out shit and this post is to that end. if that fails, I’m on to step 2, determine if this can be repaired at all; like, if it’s the panel, give up right there. maybe learn something for the next one. and on and on.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 5 months ago:
turns on, backlight works, image has lines all over and after a while (30 sec when left overnight off power, 10-15 secs when left a couple hours) it starts fading the image to black with the backlight still on. inspected visually all components, this is the only one that looks suspicious.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 5 months ago:
added top view in OP, all the other components that looked charred got cleaned up with a brush, this is the only one who looked damaged. currently waiting for the TV to empty all the capacitors before I attempt to remove the board.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 5 months ago:
thank you! isn’t CRT, it’s a LED TV power supply.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 5 months ago:
TV power supply. added top view in OP, a buncha surrounding components were dirty as well but a brush cleaned them up. this is the only one that seems burned.

- Comment on How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything 5 months ago:
I am asking the dude doing the transcoding why he’s doing it. I am not waging a crusade against all dudes doing transcodings.
to answer your question, no, I don’t, all media I got is 1080p and all my devices can display it.
