I’ve found the opposite to be the case unfortunately. Plex “just works” while my jellyfin server had almost constant issues with subtitles (two of my frequent users need these because of hearing problems) and would frequently crash requiring docker restarts.

I adopted jellyfin very early, used it for many (maybe 6?) years and these problems only got worse over time.

I always prefer open source (often to a fault) but I am glad I switched to Plex a few months ago. I got the lifetime pass for cheap for black Friday. I still leave jellyfin running for a few users, but everyone else has already switched over.

You’re an idiot or you’re trolling, I honestly can’t tell.

Gotta say this feels like a stretch to me dawg.

This.

Wow it’s almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn’t vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse…

I went into Walmart yesterday for my annual soap/shampoo/mouthwash bulk purchase as they have the products I like at the best price (in bulk). I got to the section and it was all locked up behind glass…

I turned around and walked right out. No idea where I’m gonna get it from now, but I’m not gonna support that bullshit.

The claims of mass losses due to shoplifting have been proven false multiple times over. These are just racist store policies intended to make you spend more time in their store or to buy online or from mobile apps.

Enshitification keeps on keeping on.

You can get them pretty cheap if you’re patient.

Personally I use the IKEA alternative. It works really well.

All my gear is stuff I’ve saved from the dumpster at work except my hard drives and my UPS. I’m using the IKEA end tables instead of racks (I think they are called lakka?). My jbod chassis is huge and very loud, but it was free. I dropped cables into my basement and I only hear it when I’m down there.

I started off with just a desktop tower full of spare parts, but over time it’s slowly become a pretty impressive stack.

The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that’s a sign…

What percentage of the gamers that you know would just be able to find and download an emulator from a git repo hosted on .onion or .i2p?

For me, that’s just me. None of my gamer buddies would put in that effort, they’d just buy a product or play a game from steam.

I think we’re still a long way from privacy focused protocols being mainstream in the way the web has become in the last 15 years.

Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

I don’t think we can, honestly.

Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.

But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can’t pardon himself from state charges.

If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don’t, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.

Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.

Can he instead just stick a gun in his mouth?

Xbox Game Pass for PC is an incredible value, even with the caveat of having to run windows (which sucks so bad). That’s always my top rec for PC gamers.

Elden Ring is still my number one game. It’s awesome and will run great on your new PC as well as your deck. It’s also got a lot in common with your listed games.

Grounded is a great game as well! It’s a reasonably difficult survival crafting game (like Subnautica). Same goes for Return to Moria.

Bingo!

I updated my previous comment with the details I had forgotten. Commenting again since you probably won’t see an update.

In summary: google Devon Arthurs. He’s a neo-nazi kid who converted to an ISIS wacko and then killed some people and took some others hostage. That’s one clear connection.

Actually the FBI has been recommending people use more secure communications lately due to Chinese spying through SMS network infrastructure.

I’ve seen some connections in my research recently, but can’t find the article mentioning it. I want to say there were ties between the remains of the AWD (after their leadership was arrested in TX/FL), the 09A (which is quite possibly bring run by state intelligence orgs) and ISIS. I’ll look through my notes more and see if I kept the link and I’ll update here.

Update: So my memory was kinda close. A kid from AWD, Devin Arthurs, was a neo-nazi who later converted to Islam and was a supporter of ISIS.

I think it is no small coincidence that this kid converted. The ideologies are much more similar than you would think.

Another scary similarity between these two factions is that they both actively trying to recruit from the US military and ask their supporters to join the US military to get training and intelligence access.

Correct.

But a concerning thing to me is that there has been a lot of crossover between some white nationalists and extreme islamist terror orgs over the last decade or so.

They have very similar (conservative) values and goals (accelerationism). One WN group that was recently busted up was called The Base, which is also the English meaning of Al Qaeda.

Though the American government is much more quick to label Islamic adjacent attackers terrorists than any white attacker.

Not really murdering for profit. More like stealing their money while leaving them for dead.

We really need to end health insurance all together.

And also probably pull out the guillotines and remind the aristocracy how many of us there are and how much they actually do depend on us.

I honestly believe a general strike across the country would very quickly put things back on a course for the better.
