Jellyfin is HEAVY when doing trickplay scans. But outside of that, it’s really not that demanding. I’m running on an N100 right now but I’ve run it fine on stuff as weak as a rk3399.

Open source is certainly in a great position now but there are some things it’s just not doing that I’m frankly too dumb to do myself. For example, there’s no open source answer to appleTV. The closest thing we have is androidTV and it’s just awful.

I would love to see a TV-centric desktop environment you could run on top of any typical Linux distro. Something implementing live tiles like old windows phone had, a web app that you could access with a smartphone and use to control it like a remote, single-task interface rather than a task-juggling interface we have on normal DEs, sigh. I have a vision I cannot possibly create because that would take incredible skill that I just don’t have to make and I can’t just whine that nobody is making it for me.

Meanwhile, all my Apple stuff works together in a way I generally approve of.

I need to transition away from this at some point but there aren’t always open source solutions for this.

I haven’t learned about kubes yet. I do use and love quadlets though.

Point at a perfectly functioning thing on my server, blow it up, relearn and fix the thing.

An IT friend of mine said “your home server should be like a zen garden…”. I was taken aback. Where else would I get to play with all the new shit I need to learn eventually? Surely not in production. And the home server is meant to serve up distractions not files.

I miss adderall.

That’s not what will happen. We will have to pay AND be tracked. They are not going to give anything up.

nope

I can’t get their web form to work. Fuck

We don’t need to completely understand both sides as long as one of them can adapt. The brain can adapt to an incredible of amount of crazy shit. And that’s why this is extra dangerous.

I firmly believe the day Randal dies will be the day many of us stop using the internet.

Where I used to work, they got those from those shady pirated audiobook sites. Just log their DNS queries for a week and you’ll know what to block.

Look abroad. The US is about to enter a recession so the last ones hired will likely be the first ones fired. Get out while you can.

I quickly got pissed at synology and QNAP and just started making my own shit. Now when anything fails it’s my own damn fault and I can actually fix it. This sounds bad but it’s actually a much better experience. I learn a lot and have fun. I’m the guy who made all those G4 cube retrofit kits on Thingiverse. It’s been a great distraction for me over the years.

On the subject of containers, learn podman. That’s where everybody seems to be migrating to.

You can design something to survive pin shorting.

I understand what it means. I just don’t believe you.

Are you seriously trying to convince me “Freedomadvocate” was randomly assigned to you? Seriously?

Nobody believes you. Keep your lies small, simple, plausible and easy to remember. You are failing on the plausible part.

This seems like something they should have engineered out of a product primarily used by schoolchildren.

You put “freedom” in your name and you think WE are politically captured? You guys are ridiculous.

Why? Because you can’t sell them?

Oh yea, this is definetly Elon.

…you fight like a cow!
