I don’t know what to tell ya. This country sucks and always has. I’m just hoping this is things getting worse before they get a lot better.

My favorite hotel is the “C’mon inn” in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, etc. It’s a small family-owned chain that charges about $100 per night and has rustic decor and always has a pool and a bunch of jacuzzis. Amazing service, tasty breakfast, low price, and I’m not feeding some gigantic corporation. It’s a matter of finding the smaller outfits, I tell ya.

Yeah you would have to study it. I am sure the tracker itself has much data on this, which is why private trackers structure their rules the way they do. In my personal experience, I try to stop seeding torrents that have more than 10 seeders already and a ratio above 1 on my client and more than 60 days seed time. That keeps me from hitting the limits of my torrent client / network / storage / etc.

It really depends on the tracker in use. I tend to stick to private trackers, so I feel relatively safe stopping seeding at a ratio of 2-3. For public trackers, your ratio would have to be pretty dang high because most people stop seeding on those.

That’s also a viable solution, but for me I just use Btrfs snapshots on my NAS. My files are stored on a different device and the Jellyfin container only sees them as a mounted dir, not even aware that it’s an SMB mount.

I think the point here is that Jellyfin doesn’t have a centralized login or website like Plex does. An attacker would have to know about your server and log into it directly to get access. If you run it in a container, there isn’t a lot they can do other than trashing your media library, which you should have protected with filesystem snapshots anyway.

Downvote, move on

I been doin it for years already!! It’s easy to just set up a 4-bay NAS with docker containers running apps that replace your existing cloud services

The removable batteries coming back would also impact the iPhone, which actually respects user privacy because Apple is not a marketing company. Apple is a products and services company, they sell tech devices and make a lot of money on services like Apple Music and TV+ and such. It’s expensive for a reason; you can even take the encryption keys out of Apple’s hands for iCloud so you genuinely are fully protected

Stallman, is that you??

I appreciate your perspective here. There is an element of whining and negativity among job-seekers lately. I’ve seen some people buckle down and hustle, and I’ve seen others give up in frustration. The truth of this is that there are going to be a lot of people who never even get to use their CS degrees, and there will be people who “win” and get jobs like this without one. It boils down to what you can do and whether or not a company in your area finds value in it.

It’s not fair. It’s just what we have to deal with.

This would be a great idea if literally any other tech company were even slightly above such behavior. This is just what Capitalism is all about, baby. Corruption. Get used to it, because this isn’t changing until Americans revolt (culturally, violently, politically, economically? who knows) and that likely isn’t happening with this complacent and socially isolated of a populace

Because then the rich wouldn’t be able to control everything

Yeah I suppose that’s the point. There is no world without cars entirely, but we can certainly deprioritize them drastically

I’m not sure if I’m convinced on the efficacy of a post like this to boost political motivation, but I am glad it was fun at least

I think that would have made a huge difference… just showcase how literally none of these concerns are relevant with a bicycle.

This, to me, just seems like it’s trying to give permissions to ICE car owners not to change anything.

Mister president, a second data breach has hit the shit-talking app

Yeah, Altman just calls things he doesn’t like “Authoritarian” because he’s an American.

This is completely laughable for anyone who knows anything about open source or how China works.

Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, has framed the competition between American and Chinese A.I. companies as ideological and said he wants to “make sure democratic A.I. wins over authoritarian A.I.”

Hmm yes, by doing things open-source, clearly this is authoritarian, because I can’t make money off of it. Bawwwww.

I hope that whiny little liar loses his entire ass, financially.
