Despite free speech supposedly legally allowing protests and demonstrations there is still a real risk of being imprisoned.

My point is even “free speech” is not total free speech in the United States for example. There are still compromises in free speech so we may preserve order. Allowing free speech to that extent lets these movements flourish.

No, fuck off with your take. That is free speech taken to a literal extreme. Allowing free speech to this extent encourages fascist and Nazi movements to flourish. Nazis should feel uncomfortable or unable to express these views.

Go ahead and wait for the U.S. to implement a viable system. I’d bet it’ll be longer than our lifetimes before that even happens. And that’s ignoring what is probably the desire of keeping the status duo of a broken two party system like this.

I can’t tell you how much faith I’ve lost in the average person in America, especially compared to how… ok, I guess, the last election went and how tight, or possibly over this one is.

I can’t fathom how fucking stupid anyone would have to be to elect this orange piece of shit that has been upping the dangerous rhetoric constantly. America is broken and it isn’t worth fixing, especially not for the morons that somehow get him elected again. I just hope that I can get to a point in my career that I can move elsewhere, maybe Ireland or New Zealand or something, fuck.

Federation really isn’t hard to understand especially when you dive in and start using it. I don’t understand anyone who says otherwise.

Somehow this sentiment exists in the selfhosted subreddit and is why the community didn’t move to Lemmy. One of the last places I’d expect to let something kinda technical scare them tbh.

Theres basically a bunch of countries that forbid Twitch or YouTube from playing ads. Like at all.

And specifically this is for TTV.LOL revolving around Twitch.

I think the same applies to YouTube in the same countries Twitch can’t play ads in. But I haven’t seen anything about YouTube adblocking proxies like TTV.LOL.

Even then, the only fool proof way of getting around server side ads is using an adblocking proxy that pipes the video stream into a different country. And public proxies available are not foolproof because of excessive traffic or whatnot.

Totally, I get it if its a means to an end to get something like Jellyfin up.

Maybe its a me thing. I just like to understand the mechanics of the tools I use.

I’ve never used Portainer but I feel a GUI setup like it just abstracts Docker and prevents learning concepts that are conducive to understanding Docker. That’s why I’ve never used a GUI to manage my Docker environment.

I’d have left Twitch if I didn’t find it more entertaining than current YouTube. No one should be surprised they’re at pre-covid profit levels again because they tried to shovel way too many ads down people’s throats.

Imagine tuning into a random stream and getting greeted by 3 ads before you can understand if you want to stay or check a different one. I’ve been frustrated enough that I just turn to something else altogether for entertainment.

There are some decent adblockers like TTV.LOL, which is a simple proxy to a country that doesn’t allow ads. But sometimes those solutions don’t work either. Ironically I just use Turbo while not paying for YouTube premium, but just as people don’t pay for YouTube Premium, I understand not wanting to support Twitch for a variety of reasons.

I use Alpine Linux. It’s exceptionally stable, great for pretty much any device and is best for small VPS with limited space/ram. Nice package manager too, but it is limited in packages.

It works great for me since I only use docker containers, but some things outside docker may require something like Debian instead.

Thanks for your work! I moved when I could finally import Wallabag bookmarks, and I’m loving everything so far.

I use Arkane Linux, which is based on Arch but is immutable. Every update is a new install. You can easily configure custom images to deploy for your specific wants or needs. It’s nice for keeping up to date with Arch while keeping how my machine is configured declared in an image. You can always roll back if something was wrong with the image you deployed too.

If you’re running the most recent kernel, I’d recommend moving to linux-lts. I have slightly similar specs, KDE Wayland, 6900 xt and 5800, and I had issues with games straight up crashing out my PC on the latest kernel.

If they get their hands on an LTSC ISO they can hold out on Windows 10 a little longer.

I’d say in a good bit of cases better than Google now. Each time I’ve resorted to Google because I think I’m getting lackluster results, it’s got the same results but also a bunch of SEO dogshit I have to sort through. Kagi’s personal site ranking and filters make it worth it too.

It’s a paid service that in return respects privacy, and has results as good as Google’s.

Google doesn’t say “Fuck you, Pay me” because you are the product.

It feels great to live in the US, a first world shithole.
