Depending on your technical inclination, a custom kernel isn’t some arduous task. According to Gemini it takes six steps, not saying those are simple, but definitely doable for anyone who is motivated.

Tried both, qBittorrent is much heavier on the CPU just sitting there idling. I do have a large amount of torrents, maybe over 200, and I didn’t expect to notice such a difference.

That’s the nice thing about Plex, you just stream your Plex library using Plex, and Plex is also the only place you and anyone you share with need to log in.

Plex. Right now we’re on vacation and can chill out with our current shows before bedtime, watching on the TV of the relative hosting us. No fuss. Aside from Movies and TV Series it also holds my music collection, Plexamp is awesome.

I’ve not gotten very deep into selfhosting due to priorities and time but I look forward to trying Immich as well as Home Assistant in the future.

Right in the linked article…

A technical malfunction in the train radio system is currently bringing all train service in Germany to a standstill.

I really don’t mind them capitalizing on this, the echo chamber just makes it super annoying.

I’ve never seen a bunch of pretentious assholes react so hard to a product they don’t use so loudly.

Very apt way of putting it.

Here’s another meme that came to mind:

With that, I mean, I guess we all agree you are going to get fucked by Plex at some point. They’ve been slowly cranking up the heat in the pot. I love my media library and I just couldn’t stand waiting for the rolling boil. I’ve been using Adobe products since 1999. I recognize an abusive relationship when I see it.

You are more concerned with people’s relationship with Plex than the people actually using it. I can’t speak for free tier users, but lifetime pass holders have yet to be affected by changes in how Plex does business. Until that changes, can you please stop acting like the sky is falling?

We’ll just watch from the sidelines and will be here to help you migrate once (not if) these things happen.

Would be nice if you guys could do that quietly. Not every change in how Plex does business needs to echo through social media. We’ll let you know when the time comes.

The problem is not how ‘this feature is there", but how long until "this feature is now $X.XX’.

Would be lovely if people could shut up about things that haven’t happened yet. Plex isn’t climate change, I’ll switch when it starts inconveniencing me.

It wouldn’t really, but you should already see “the writing on the wall”. Your own collections aren’t prioritized, and who knows what they’ll do next - putting ads into your own personal collections maybe?

A lot of people are too hung up on what could happen, rather than what is happening. I don’t see anything other than my own media since Plex can remember that that’s how I want to use it. In daily use I don’t see any of their additional attempts to generate income. I can share with anyone easily and not expect them to mess with any VPN or other tricks to connect remotely, and neither do I have to set any of that up.

It’s nice that there are good alternatives, but none of them are a complete replacement for Plex. Jellyfin users on lemmy are just in a very special bubble within a bubble.

64% of adults say they are dissatisfied with the way their democracy is working

This is not the same as democracy not working.

He has very strong opinions on certain topics, ECC being important is one of them.

Adding another data point pro-ECC: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linus-Torvalds-ECC

Torvalds went on his lengthy post to say, "The “modern DRAM is so reliable that it doesn’t need ECC” was always a bedtime story for children that had been dropped on their heads a bit too many times. Yes, I’m pissed off about it. You can find me complaining about this literally for decades now.

Kind of, but if the backdoor is months old some hours don’t seem like they should matter.

What’s less clear is which of these expenses are for having such a big military in the first place, and what it costs on top to shoot all those missiles.

That seems like something you guys should have been more proactive about.

I didn’t claim that Democrats are the salvation. I have no suggestions on fixing your political system. Just pointing out the fact that Trump was elected. Twice. So this goes even deeper than politicians and their cronies - it’s a huge part of the population that’s rotten along with them.

Another reason is that it’s not like there was a coup and the population is being held hostage. They voted for this. Twice.

Just to clarify, the only reason he’s a threat is because Americans voted him into office twice.

What does consent have to do with attraction?
