Was on the fence for a long time, and I made the move just recently (after the pricing changes. Didn’t effect me since I was grandfathered in, but I saw it as a harbinger for worse things to come) With the creation of Wizarr, it solved my biggest problems with Jellyfin. I can just send an invite link, and it creates accounts for people on Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, and Kavita, and lets me set up introductory guides for everything. Despite the menu UI/UX being significantly worse than Plex, playback is smoother, load times are shorter, and it can actually handle streaming to really slow internet speeds, something that Plex had a lot of trouble with.

The only app I noticed missing was the Tizen app, but they are working on getting it approved. I only had one family member using a Tizen TV, so I just gave them an old chromecast to run off of instead.

My guy, expect to see shit when in a shitposting community, that’s the whole point. If you don’t like shitposts (not sure why you are saying it isn’t a shitpost, it’s literally a perfect example of one) then block the community and save yourself some cycles.

How does this happen? I call them wall warts as well, and nobody around me does. I will follow up with “phone charger”

That’s fair, but as someone who likes to contribute to FOSS projects with features that I want, I’d like every tool I use to be FOSS, so I can make them work exactly the way I want them to, while also providing something to those that don’t want to/can’t pay for a tool like this, or just don’t want to have the inevitablity of having spent hundreds of hours getting used to a tool, only for the owning company to make it unusable for you.

In FOSS projects, if a project starts to go a route you don’t like, you can ignore all future updates and still get the exact experience you wanted.

Woah, i didn’t know that the effect would be so drastic. I want to point out to those struggling to get it to work that, as diverging mentioned, your arm needs to be fully extended. Also, the blind spot is about a thumb’s width, at least for me, and is only visible at a specific x/y axis location. Any deviation from that single spot will cause it to stop working. I could tell I was close to the spot when parts of my thumb would disappear, and just had to slowly move it around until I found the spot that looked like the thumb was gone completely.

I am selfhosting! And yeah, I actually forgot there was a theme on the phone/messaging/camera apps, the theme just came with the OS and I haven’t bothered changing anything. The browser isn’t themed, it’s just the GrapheneOS browser Vanadium.

Have you been in the American minimum wage job market in the last 10 years or so? Every job that pays minimum wage doesn’t give enough hours for the employee to be full-time, which means they don’t get benefits, retirement contributions, etc. In these cases, outside of the onboarding costs, a $15 an hour employee does in fact cost $15 an hour.

In every store I’ve been in, I’m the guy who has to take everything out of my cart and put it on the little conveyor belt thing. Self checkout is a second or two on top of that (which is usually made up by not having to wait in line) with no real additional effort (I’m already picking up and placing my stuff in a specific spot) I also can type in my number for the coupons at the same time I’m scanning my card, and move the bags into my cart as my payment is being processed, which ends up saving even more time.

The only place I appreciate a cashier is when I get a boatload of groceries at Costco, those folks are box-packing wizards.

50% chance of your 50% chance of you waifu becoming real becoming your waifu

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Unless you’ve got something meaningful to add, I’m calling it here. You argue with 100% emotion, never adding anything meaningful to a conversation. Glad you can admit that you’re just being obstinate

“NU UH!!!” Never seen someone just bullshit before while using quotation formatting. You’re putting on a clinic of being a slimy dishonest asshole

Please, point out where I’m making stuff up. With zero efforr responses like these, I’m not sure why I’m even bothering to respond to you. If you think I’m lying about the definition of race, here are all the human-relevant definitions of race in several dictionaries, almost all would suggest how I’m using race is the most common:

Race as defined by The American Heritage Dictionary

1. A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them. 2.A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution.
2. A genealogical line; a lineage.
3. Humans considered as a group.
4. A usually geographically isolated population of organisms that differs from other populations of the same species in certain heritable traits.

Race as defined by Marriam Webster dictionary

1. any one of the groups that humans are often divided into based on physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry
2. a group of people sharing a common cultural, geographical, linguistic, or religious origin or background
3. the descendants of a common ancestor : a group sharing a common lineage

Oh! Okay! So once you deliberately strip race of all cultural and material context white can be declared a race ‘because they look the same’

I didn’t strip my race definition of anything. I’m using the definitions above. Me using the “look the same” example was to help solidify that race is a social construct, not that white was a race.

Well if you’re willing to just compartmentalize literally everything until your premise is affirmed then you can tell yourself anything, can’t you?

I’m not compartmentalizing anything. I’m using the dictionary definition of race. If you mean something else when you say race, then please, tell me your definition.

You’ve chosen a definition of race that’s completely useless for everything except one task: to be able to claim victimhood for the privileged class

I’ve used a definition of race that fits 4 of the 7 dictionary definitions that I’ve seen. Yes, I guess I’m not using the ones regarding ancestry and genealogy, but those just segment what a race is further. Under those definitions, “black” isn’t a race.

HOW FUCKING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO LECTURE SOMEONE WHEN YOU OPENLY ADMIT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON

I understand the historical event you are referencing, and I understand that, in some places in the world, Irish immigrants weren’t part of the “true white” race until they became racist towards folks without white skin and became police. What I don’t understand is what that has to do with anything we’re talking about. That doesn’t make “white” any less of a race, that just means that white people in the past were extra racist, being racist against people from a different geological location, not just being racist by the color of their skin.

Bet you’re white. “My feelings are more important than your facts and I’m elevated from you enough to speak without even knowing them” is extremely white coded

Please, point out where I am using feelings and you are using facts. Please, point out anything I’ve said that is not truthful. That’s how arguements are done, and that’s what I’ve been doing to everything you’ve said from the beginning. From my end, you have yet to have an argument that is more than “YOU’RE STUPID” without addressing a single thing I’m saying.

Fine, I’ll indulge you.

white isn’t a race it’s the social construct

This is both true and false. By all accepted definitions of race that I could find, white counts as a race. However, race as a concept is a social construct. Some folks back in the day decided to categorize people by things they have in common. (e.g. physical attributes, geographic location, genetics) However, this doesn’t have any basis in science due to there being more genetic variation within the defined races than between them. Most biologists and anthropologists don’t accept race as a scientifically valid biological classification.

that means the absence of race

This is false by all definitions of race. Race is just a collection of people sharing similar attributes, so the “white” race absolutely counts, considering all “white” people share a similar characteristic: skin color.

Irish stopped being a race when they were accepted into whiteness by becoming police in large number

This one threw me for a loop, as I’m not really sure what you mean by this. Irish is 100% still a race, as they are a group of people that can be defined by geographic location. There are groups that don’t think they belong in the greater “white” race due to some historical beefs, but at the end of the day, most definitions of the “white” race include Irish folks, as they have white skin.

That’s why it’s literally impossible to be racist against white people

This part doesn’t make sense. By the most common definitions of racist, it’s possible to be racist against any given race. Some definitions of racist that I read in school did change that by adding a clause for racism being prejudice towards a marginalized group. In that case, it wouldn’t be possible to be racist towards the greater “white” race, as they have never historically been marginalised. However, this definition of racist hasn’t been widely accepted, as it almost exists to prevent being able to say racism towards the “white” race exists.

If you think that it’s impossible to be racist towards a race that is all-encompassing like the “white” race, then, unless you’re using a different definition of racist, then if would be equally impossible to be racist towards the all-encompassing “black” race.

No need to lash out just because people are calling you out for your misunderstanding of your own words. Given how your sentences are written, English might not be your first language, so there’s a good chance that this misunderstanding comes from a translation or language barrier. Hopefully I have cleared things up!

Explain how it isn’t? Typically once someone resorts to name calling in a discussion it’s a good sign they know they’re in the wrong.

Mate, using your logic “black” isn’t a race. This is also technically true, but not really how the term “race” is used. Taking your logic and applying it to this term that is widely accepted caloquially as a race, you end up being able to say that it’s “impossible to be racist against black people” which would be seen as a racist remark.

I2P is basically this

Fair, I’ll try to get my kill-a-watt plugged in to check next time the server powers down and report back. Power is fairly cheap where I live, and I’ve got solar, so that’s never been a huge concern for me. I’d have to check, but I’ve always assumed it’s pulling ~10 watts per drive at normal times, and as far as I know my power bill is pretty much reflecting this. (Due to how my data pool works all drives need to be spinning when in use, and my drives get basically zero down time).

And that’s good, when I first got into self hosting I was greedy for storage and didn’t have the money to pay for redundancy, and I got bit a few times. Now my media server is running on 2 8-drive pools, each with two drives of parity. Ends up being around 200TB of useable space. I don’t have backups on my media pools, as right now I’m using 24TB drives and the cost to back that up just doesn’t make sense. I do however have my personal cloud on mirrored drives with a backup at my brother’s house, also on mirrored drives, so it’d be pretty unlikely for me to lose the important stuff.

I subscribe to the philosophy that each server should handle one thing. I’ve got a NAS that stores all data for all other servers other than boot drives. I’m using only spinning rust for data, so the network speed is never the bottleneck for my system. My NAS is a 24 bay chassis with the LSI card in IT mode. I got an LSI card that is powered from the PCIe port itself, and power usage for the card itself seems negligible, but spinning 24 drives takes a decent bit of power. I’ve got 20 drives in it now and it’s pretty loud, but substantially quieter than the dell r720 it replaced. It’s in my basement so it doesn’t bother me, but if sound is an issue, and you don’t need a ton of space, definitely go with SSDs. I’ve also got a media server that handles all media streaming (movies/TV/audiobooks/music/ebooks/comics/manga/roms). It reads/writes it’s data to the NAS. I’ve got another server running my personal cloud (nextcloud, password manager, testing new SH services). Again, the nextcloud data is on the NAS. Both servers store backups to the NAS, as well as a second local drive. I’ve also got a handful of raspberry pis running the smart house stuff, and one running the Ubiquiti Controller. All are running the PoE hat with the m.2 port on them for stable boot drives, and store their backups on the NAS. I’ve kind of stopped running proxmox + virtualization when I switched off of the r720, as I find that running Debian on bare metal with btrfs backups is simpler for me, and I run almost all of my services in Docker. I’ve had a motherboard go out on my media server, and was able to swap the motherboard and get everything back up and running in a little under 2 hours. Longest part was the motherboard swap itself.

This is what I do as well. Just know that you will still get judged by “real book people” for having a bookshelf of pristine, unread books even though you’ve read all of them.

Oh believe me, I’m well aware lol. I’ve already got the setup you’re describing. It’ll probably never amount to anything, but I’m still going to try and see if I can get something that most email providers will send mail to and accept mail from, without putting in the spam folder.
