No one is clowning. And hi, it’s me. I’m people. I’m in the US. There are many reasons why we can’t fix this current situation. But we also refuse to fix anything. That was the question I was answering. Hence, the school shootings. Just because we cannot react like other countries in the face of a fascist government doesn’t mean we deserve to be let off the hook for constant inactions. There was just another school shooting in a smaller town near me. I visit there often. I have friends there. We as a society have failed kids on almost every front imaginable.

Have you seen the number of school shootings in the US? The kind of world they went their kids to grow up in is absolutely “I don’t even care if you do grow up”

I have several of these set up. Mostly for opening windows to reduce AC use. If the temp outside is dropping and is within two degrees of interior temp, then it’s time to open the windows. And the inverse during autumn to close them. I could have saved you some time probably.

I’m not either but I still do it.

That is exactly it, yes. And I am thinking about reaching out to them about it and their blocklist. But after thinking about it, anyone with $16 in hosting can start an AI hacking instance. It’s just going to get worse.

This one was 66.187.5.19. I tried to find a way to report their behavior on hostodo (the service they’re using) but they don’t seem to have a report option. I’m guessing because they don’t want to prevent this kind of thing.

Mom can we watch ‘GRUB Not Found’ again?

That is a solid enough reason and one I wasn’t aware of. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find out, thank you!

I’ve been eyeing Gitea. Do you have any reason for using Forgejo that I might overlook Gitea in favor of it?

Same boat, the exact same refurb 10tb drives I’ve got in my system are 2.5x my last purchase. But I did get a lot of fast RAM before the prices went nuts.

Don’t forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.

Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and Navidrome for music.

He’s not sure about giving them because no one is sure we still have them.

While it’s true and will definitely happen, that’s the carrot to get Trump to do these things. But I believe the goal is to keep destabilizing global trade. I think it’s part of the giant tech oligarch plan to take over the whole kit and caboodle. I bet if you ask AI how best to destabilize the global economy it would tell you to start a war in Iran to disrupt shipping, oil and gas production, and for one of the largest trade partners to levy huge tariffs on friendly trade partners.

Given how Ukraine is mopping up with them right now, I don’t see a play here. Seems like antagonizing your big brother while you’re losing a fight with your little sister. It could be lack of creativity on my part but I can’t see any gains at all for Russia in attempting this.

Music Assistant most of the time. Sometimes I just use Symfonium directly but they both tap into my Navidrome server.

Document everything and try to force a title change to better reflect the position (even without more money) so that you’ll have an easier time finding a higher position when you leave.

Cubans right now: "Remember the Maine!’

I thought about replying to some comments but decided to make a top level comment instead. There are some valid points a few people have brought up that aren’t the easiest things to fix. Some are, actually pretty easy to fix. Some are issues where Jellyfin forces you to do things a certain way, like file naming convention, which I think is extremely smart to do anyway.

But the one reply I keep seeing is “until Plex stops working, I see no reason to switch”. 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. If you’re happy where you’re at, I mean, by all means. I’m not going to yuck your yum. Many of the issues are exactly the kinds of things the Jellyfin community is happy to help fix with you. I do wish you all the best, but I’ve never gotten locked into a great deal that didn’t hurt when I needed to get out of it before.
