Yeah this should be up there with “stop, drop, and roll”

Not to rail you in the ass, but why isn’t this making the perfect the enemy of the good?

The benefit to low-income families seems massive, and it’s hard for me to accept that taxing revenue instead of profit is enough of a marginal negative to outweigh that benefit.

And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

• 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
• Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

Not even remotely! I didn’t look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you’d only have femtoseconds!

A real double whammy of unintuitive results.

I dipped my toes in the self-hosted route and would recommend Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid as a much simpler alternative.

Here’s a guide I used - you can probably have it up and running in less than an hour.

Major points:

• Easy setup, easy to use
• Low cost at <$35/year
• Can not share accounts (specifically, RD limits to one ongoing stream at a time)
• Limited customization

I have very limited self hosting experience, and between getting my first hello world service running, problems with my ISP, sorting through the different ways to get content, and not already having TBs if hard drives sitting around, I found it to be pretty challenging.

If you’re already experienced in self hosting (or want to learn) and don’t mind the storage costs, then I’d recommend the Plex/Jellyfin route, but if you just want an alternative to the existing streaming services then I’d suggest looking into Stremio.
