No no, he’ll just change it so that all posts must be 14 words. Much less obvious.

New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.

It’s the only way they’re going to figure out what he had for breakfast, so what else are they supposed to do?

In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz: Ha Ha.

If this happens I’m now personally blaming you.

Just send your ID in and they’ll authorize Unlokr to let you buy your dish soap in peace.

It’s really simple: either you accept shrink, or you hire enough people with keys to handle your anti-theft shit.

I don’t go to target anymore, CVS, or Walgreens if it’s at all avoidable because it’s going to take an hour to get in, buy a few things, and leave.

They want to lock shit up, but then only have one employee covering the whole damn store that can unlock shit, meaning if you want some laundry detergent, it’s going to take you half an hour.

Of course, the local grocery stores, Walmart, Amazon, and various other retailers don’t lock shit up, so yeah, I just go there and don’t have to deal with stupid bullshit pushed by morons who haven’t gone shopping in one of the stores they run.

I don’t think so, no. At least nothing I’ve noticed, but they’re also not being any better than any other gacha game, either.

To self-host, you do not need to know how to code.

I agree but also say that learning enough to be able to write simple bash scripts is maybe required.

There’s always going to be stuff you want to automate and knowing enough bash to bang out a script that does what you want that you can drop into cron or systemd timers is probably a useful time investment.

And millions of children cried out for their waifus.

(This is good: I play and enjoy Genshin but they’re using every single psychological trick to get you to spend money to gamble and that kind of shameless shit shouldn’t be put in front of children who don’t have sufficient experience and developmental time to not get totally taken.)

loops, whatever the hell that is

FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.

Yeah, no shit.

You present two choices: 65fps with DLSS, or 28 FPS without it, then yes, 80% of people will no-shit-sherlock pick the higher number.

Seriously. Id sub immediately.

They won’t, of course, because that’d cost them too much money.

But, still, it’s a nice thought.

I don’t disagree, but if it’s a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that’s still Jellyfin doing something weird.

No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn’t doing it on exactly the same files.

As someone who’s had the misfortune of having to use Salesforce professionally, this might actually improve the quality of their slop.

If you share access with your media to anyone you’d consider even remotely non-technical, do not drop Jellyfin in their laps.

The clients aren’t nearly as good as plex, they’re not as universally supported as plex, and the whole thing just has the needs-another-year-or-two-of-polish vibes.

And before the pitchfork crowd shows up, I’m using Jellyfin exclusively, but I also don’t have people using it who can’t figure out why half the episodes in a tv season pick a different language, or why the subtitles are somtimes english, and sometimes german, or why some videos occasionally don’t have proper audio (l and r are swapped) and how to take care of all of those things.

I’d also agree your thought that docker is the right approach to go: you don’t need docker swarm, or kubernetes, or whatever other nonsense for your personal plex install, unless you want to learn those technologies.

Install a base debian via netinstall, install docker, install plex, done.

Mine? Mine? Mine? Mine mine mine mine.

Timely post.

I was about to make one because iDrive has decided to double their prices, probably because they could.

$30/tb/year to $50/tb/year is a pretty big jump, but they were also way under the market price so capitalism gonna capital and they’re “optimizing” or someshit.

I’ve love to be able to push my stuff to some other provider for closer to that $30, but uh, yeah, no freaking clue who since $60/tb/year seems to be the more average price.

Alternately, a storage option that’s not S3-based would also probably be acceptable. Backups are ~300gb, give or take, and the stuff that does need S3-style storage I can stuff in Cloudflare’s free tier.

“Even in the best case, the models had a 35% error rate,” said Stanford’s Shah

So, when the AI makes a critical error and you die, who do you sue for malpractice?

The doctor for not catching the error? The hospital for selecting the AI that made a mistake? The AI company that made the buggy slop?

(Kidding, I know the real answer is that you’re already dead and your family will get a coupon good for $3.00 off a sandwich at the hospital cafeteria.)

+1 for Frigate, because it’s fantastic.

But don’t bother on an essentially depreciated google product, and skip the coral.

The devs have added the same functionality on the GPU side, and if you’ve got a gpu (and, well, you do, because OpenVino supports intel iGPUs) just use that instead and save the money on a coral for something more useful.

In my case, I’ve both used a coral AND openvino on a coffee lake igpu, and uh, if anything, the igpu was about 20% faster inference times.

The best 1 month anniversary is doing the same thing when you first met.
