Yeah, I still remember when netflix was good. My absolute favorite feature they had was one I used on my PS3, was Max. It was this ‘assistant’ who would ask you a bunch of questions and then pick a number of suggestions you can look through to pick a movie when you didn’t know what to watch. It was fucking awesome, and I still periodically look for something similar for jellyfin.
They’re probably saying that they run the self hosted jellyfin app and stream their own media. That’s what I do, and have been doing for like a decade because netflix and other shitty streaming companies can eat a bag of dicks (except Dropout, they’re real Gs) from the number of times I’ve gone to watch something on my watch later list only to find out they didn’t get the license this quarter so 🖕to my movie night
I think so. Even though the product is basically the same, the rice cooker insert is much easier to clean up and I can run them both at the same time when cooking. Having hot food and rice (without having to cook it myself) stretches meals and doesn’t take tons of extra effort
So, if you would, help me out with the ‘why’ part
It eliminates a single point of failure, can be used to bypass censorship, and allow for community support/engagement in a way that is harder to track and suppress (in that there’s no ‘central’ hub and you have to go after nodes individually. From an opsec point of view, you’re still broadcasting a signal that someone in range can pick up). Obviously it requires many devices to make a good mesh work, but short of DOSing every channel or just blowing out the signal space, it’s gonna be hard to take that down.
I see it as something like tor or i2p, not something for general use at the moment, but definitely has good uses.
I would make the same argument for the air fryer, rice cooker and pressure cooker/insta pot. I use each one at least once a week for so many things. Like, I just came across a vegetarian burrito recipe that I meal prep with the insta and rice cooker, and when I defrost in the microwave and then reheat in the air fryer 👩🍳💋
There’s not really too much of a debate, just a lack of deep understanding of how the infrastructure works under the hood.
The other person (rightly) doesn’t want to share their local network (what’s behind your wifi router) with their neighbors. My only point was that, much like current ISPs, you don’t share any networking with your neighbors. The only thing remotely close to ‘shared’ would be the individual uplinks (your ISP connection) from each residence to the (shared) networking gear of the ISP.
A local ISP and a Telco aren’t (shouldn’t) going to be handling the base networking layer any differently. They’ll all have individual connections between them and subscribers, and the only way that I could get into your network is to setup services and configure either side to talk to the service on the other.
To actually ELI5 (which I am exceptionally bad at with actual 5yos), Alice and Bob both get their toys from Charles (Telco ISP) who charges a lot of money, and doesn’t treat them well when they try to use the toys they got. Dan comes a long and works with Ed and Fred to set up a local toy store and try to treat customers better. Bob (irmadlad) is concerned that the new local toy store means he’ll have to share the toys he bought with Alice, not realizing neither store makes you share your toys.
Skill issue. Put yourself out there, go to events for meeting people, and touch grass.
YOUR experience is that people are struggling with conversation, but it could just be you or the people you talk to. ‘Everyone’ does not share the same experiences as you, and plenty of us are able to talk to people without issue.
Social anxiety can be a bitch, but even my introverted, social anxiety ridden ass is able to do it. Find a group for something that interests you and don’t be too big of a terminally online weirdo and you should be good.
First time seeing a shit post on the shitpost community?
I really want to put graphene on my 8, but I can’t risk not having my banking apps…
Hands and arms get tired, so it’s always good to have options.
Then again, at that point you should just be poly and not lie to your partners. Much easier that way.
I know, we’re aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall shocked
why would I want to hook my uplink to someone else’s network
Well, the biggest reason I could think of is that you want to access the Internet.
Your local network is only as good as the services you run, and most people don’t self host. If you choose not to hook your uplink to your ISPs network, you’re not gonna be able to do all that much.
Oh I get how it would all work, I’m not into sharing my network.
See, I’m struggling to think that you do. You’re not sharing your network with anyone. You’re just hooking your uplink into someone else’s network, who will take as much (or more, given how fucky current ISPs are) care to keep you and your neighbors from talking to each other without your own config letting it happen.
There is a user here that mentioned he is in funding talks for a local, independent ISP. I’m not really sure I’m ready to be connected to my neighbors intimately. Good fences make good neighbors.
Why do you think an independent ISP would operate any differently at the networking level on a per-customer basis? This is basic network segmentation, and my home gear can do that pretty easily. Throw each customer on their own vlan that’s a /30 and they can’t do anything more than talk from their node to the central router.
Good firewalls make good digital neighbors, and an independent ISP isn’t going to survive long if Alice can access Bob’s home network over the ISP without having something specifically configured in Bob’s network to allow that.
Missed opportunity to talk about your “shortcuming”
Weird, all I can hear is ‘turdlickins’
That is definitely odd behavior. Multiple sessions is a server side setting, so your Linux system shouldn’t be able to do that without windows being ok with it. As for the resolution issue, it might be a config issue in your client. Give another client a shot, or see if there’s a way to configure the client to use smart sizing. I can’t recall which app I use on my system, but I can’t say I’ve ever had an issue with scaling between connected and remote connected sessions.
Interesting. I ditched team green years ago and have been running rock solid since. My Nvidia GPU was always the reason I went back to windows. Sorry to hear your ryzen rig stopped, have you looked for a bios update? Might be something simple like that (assuming your disk didn’t shit the bed).
Can’t say I’ve had any rdp issues on Bazzite, what’s it doing?
Hearing that made me go back and listen to my chosen announcer from those days
Good times
100%
During the pandemic, I bought a house with my wife and girlfriend because it’s somewhat cheaper to pay a mortgage and all utilities vs 2 rents and the utilities not covered by the building (plus dealing with bullshit landlords that fuck around with serious shit like bedbugs)
