The solution to this is to start your own instance and federate the other instances that you want to make sure you can always reach. This is a solved problem, really.

It’s absolutely authoritarian. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise. I’m not even going to offer an argument, you’re just stupid.

Those people aren’t great at thinking things through. They’re “idea people”.

No it shouldn’t.

Yes. Containers are awesome in that they let you use an application inside a sandbox, but beyond that you can deploy it anywhere.

If you’re in the sysadmin world you should not only embrace Docker but I’d recommend learning k8s, too, if you still enjoy those things.

Muscle pain relief is pain relief. I don’t go to a chiropractor and I’m confident most of them are selling snake oil but I kinda view them as a next level masseuse.

If I were more comfortable with strangers touching me a massage might be nice. A chiropractor sounds like a next level up. I feel relief when I get a good back crack.

You can just grep for carriage returns followed by newlines, grep -Pirn '\r\n$' /path/to/whatever. It’ll identify all your problematic files.

For anyone doing this, set up your spending and budget alerts and actions. It’s possible to accidentally fuck something up and end up with an aws bill that’ll suck, but this will give you some measure of protection from that in case you accidentally misconfigure something.

Plex setup is literally just installing it on a machine. It took me an hour because I decided to move it to a different machine after I set it up.

It’s fair to call them terrorists when they attack civilians.

And don’t give me the “what about Israel” bullshit. They can be terrorists, too, it doesn’t make Hamas suddenly freedom fighters for murdering children. A terrorist is a terrorist.

Yeah my server is an i5 using an onboard GPU so it’s nothing crazy but it’s got 80TB of drive space, so I optimize for what I put my money into.

Hell, sometimes it’s even easier to copy the data to my gaming rig, transcode it, and rsync it back. If I’m done playing for the night and about to go to bed and I have like a TV show or something I know has to be transcoded, I’ll just queue up a job and let it run while I’m sleeping and script it so it rsyncs everything back when it’s done transcoding.

Admittedly the server on which it’s running is pretty beefy and I don’t let it transcode. I’ve got enough disk space that if something spends time transcoding I just optimize it to a new version of the file.

By bandwidth I was speaking in terms of network only, but if you were to run it on a simple server that didn’t do any transcoding it might be ok.

If I’m just using them as a glorified small Linux box it could work pretty well. If you’re going to host services that don’t require a ton of bandwidth you don’t need a hard line or anything. Hell my Plex server is using WiFi (802.11ax but still) and it delivers 4K just fine.

Well technically it’s called getting it “fronted”.

That’s a fucking nonsense idea, but how else would they afford the crack that caused that idea to originate?

I’d look at the container’s networking, if I were you.

Yeah “it does nothing but downloads torrents” is the selling point. It’s the reason I exclusively use Transmission.

Well, I dropped reddit because rif stopped working. Whether it was “for Lemmy” is kind of a “for now” thing. Something better comes along and I’m likely to migrate there (or use it in addition).

You need an artificer?!

You sound like a good dm.

Arguing with strangers on the internet.

Seriously though I’ve never been good at anything artistic. I’m a programmer by trade and occasional dabble in the odd personal project lately, and I have a lot of hobbies. I experiment with electronics, I’m an (really really) amateur blacksmith. I feel like those engage the parts of my brain art might, but I don’t feel like they’re any sort of self expression. They’re more academic pursuits, I do them to learn and learning itself is kinda the end goal.

To be honest I’m not sure I know what “expressing myself” in an artistic sense would be. I use words to convey my thoughts and emotions but I’m certainly no writer.
