Screw striking. Waste of time when the government will just call it an illegal strike.

When the bullshit outpaces the pay, walk away. Find another job.

If I had to guess, never having used it myself, is that it has a decent UI that simplifies sometimes complicated operations and it has been around seemingly forever.

Of course they did.

Very much depends. I host the digital music collection for my entire family (6 people) all with very different tastes in music and very large music collections. According to Jellystat, I’m hosting roughly 52,000 tracks taking up just shy of 2 TB. I used to keep track of how many albums I had but I’ve long since lost track.

On average, a CD ripped to FLAC seems to run around 300MB. MP3 or OGG would generally be smaller (but with quality loss), dependent on the bitrate, call it 50MB - 200MB.

In short, a person hosting a normal sized personal music collection is unlikely to run into space issues.

You can. I started my Jellyfin server on a RPi3. Not great hardware for video streaming, but it will work fine for music. Could also use Navidrome. For local network only, that would be all you need.

To stream your media collection outside your home network, you’ll want to set up either a reverse proxy and set your ISP’s modem to forward the traffic to the reverse proxy, or set up a VPN like Tailscale. Tailscale would be the simpler option most of the time and is more secure for the average self-hoster.

Only if you only get your news from social media. There has been other stuff going on. US economy is weakening, there has been a Nissan recall, some tech news, apparently another bank either has or will soon fail. Same old, same old.

My social media feed though are nothing but protests, ICE misbehavior, and propaganda from all sides.

Might want to pick an actual news organization to follow to see what else is going on in the world. Lately, for me it has been apnews.

I don’t disagree that we need people like the Colonel to stay in, but the man has served faithfully for 24 years. More than long enough to reach retirement. We have to trust in the training that he has given the men and women that have served under him, and hope that it will prove to be enough.

Assuming it didn’t get cut off, it looks like you have a typo. That should be http:// not ttp://. That would cause your trouble on the Roku.

Personally, I use Hugo. Good for blog type websites.

When I’ve tried using them directly, they don’t so much lie as much as just give me completely wrong information. I think the last time, I was asking for a list of shoulder mics compatible with the Baofeng BF-A58 radio. It gave me a long list of mics for the UV-5R instead. Completely different connector. The reason I even tried a LLM for that was that Google wasn’t being overly helpful either.

At this point, I really only use LLMs to add tags to things for sorting in Paperless and Hoarder, and even that is often incomplete, inconsistent and occasionally, flat out wrong.

Text editors are a really personal choice and there are a million different ones. I use either Kate or Micro. Both are great for my use.

That or finish bigger household projects. Who has money for vacations?

Depends on the application. My NAS is bare metal. That box does exactly one thing and one thing only, and it’s something that is trivial to setup and maintain.

Nextcloud is running in docker (AIO image) on bare metal (Proxmox OS) to balance performance with ease of maintenance. Backups go to the NAS.

Everything else is running on in a VM which makes backups and restores simpler for me.

Hmm. Where’d I put the popcorn?

Outside of the music industry, there really isn’t any monitzation path outside the mainstream paths. You might buy DVDs of anything you’re interested in, but other than that…. I don’t know of any legitimate DRM-free sources.

As for South Park in particular, my understanding is that they have been trying to cancel themselves for some time and failing. I think they’re probably good regardless.

Yea I noticed that too. I wound up pulling it off my feed because it stopped being useful or interesting.

He can fuck on off. That’s up to the States.

There are things I can deal with and there are things I can not. I’m not about to waste precious resources worrying about things I can’t affect. I do my part when opportunity presents, but winter is coming, and Me and Mine are not yet prepared.

If you think you can change what is coming, then by all means, but I’ve got more pressing concerns at present.

That’s fine. My filters will just continue sending them to /dev/null.

First I’ve heard of that one. Nice. Looks like the same setup that Github Pages uses too, so should be easy to transfer the site if needed.
