Yeah, Lemmy is pretty small. Even I miss the massive subreddits or moreso the small niche ones.

I will point out that Reddit is roughly 20 years old and that audience took time to grow. I don’t really want Lemmy to grow that much because it does bring the riffraff that plaged reddit, but it is pretty lonely out here in the corner of the internet. I do find myself refreshing apps hoping for new content quite often.

Just searched my car and “for sale” and browsed what popped up.

Just looked up my car on used car sites. Someone is selling the same make and model as mine for $200 less than I paid back in 2007.

In the back of my head there’s a voice telling me if I could sell mine for what I bought and it’d be like a free car all these years, usual maintenance stuff excluded. That’s be a kick-ass deal! But then I’d be out an extremely reliable car.

Absolutely nowhere in the article was that mentioned or credited to the decreases. Road design, police/camera enforcement, and ebike/scooter speed caps were.

has been the best and most productive in the history of communication between the leaders.

Maybe I’m just a skeptic, but I don’t believe for a second that was Zelenskyy. Perhaps he was, um, encouraged to say talking points or part of the deal was to flatter Donny Dumbass. Maybe in a use-this-secret-phrase-to-kiss-my-ass-and-i’ll-help kind of deal.

Glad Zelenskyy has support again though.

That’s the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that’s what I wanted.

Most Americans don’t want to do this work.

Well, yeah. Excuse the generalizations, but we don’t live 6 to an apartment or farm housing and ship our wages back home where the dollar goes further. We have to survive here long term and farmers don’t pay COL, savings, and retirement.

Americans don’t do this because it’s a bad deal.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

Meanwhile our plastic bag tax has pretty much eliminated paper bags and raked in fortunes in profits on plastic bags.

Y’all ain’t seeing the bigger plan here like Republicans do.

We gotta make th next Taliban now so we have someone to go to war with in 20 years. War is profitable and will make America strong again after Democrats unfuck this pig. Then Republicans can swoop in and claim the credit!

/S of course.

We’re so fucked these assholes are in charge.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that’s handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don’t care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.

That’s good news! It would be great if relays made it difficult to be targeted. I last tinkered with TOR almost… Jeez!.. 20 years ago haha!

I ran a relay too way, way back in the day and I remember almost a third of the sites I used blacklisted my IP address within days. It wasn’t cool.

I ended up shutting it down, resetting my cable modem, and spoofing a new MAC address on my router to get a new IP address to get everything working again.

Using a VPN is smarter. I wouldn’t run that on IPv6 whatsoever.

Me too. I’m up to 3TB locally. Had to do that slowly though. Hit some temp bans a few times.

Love the creativity on those messages! Wow!

Absolutely no good will come of this psyops group targeting Americans.

This isn’t a genie that can return to a bottle. This is everything Snowden warned the world about, supercharged and networked and only available to the administration currently in charge.

Every Plex client is a little different, but there is usually a video details or “playback info” button that will give you stream info such as direct play, transcode, or transcode (HW) for hardware support.

I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it’s working great. My Synology just couldn’t handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.

Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn’t loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I’d personally spend the money you’d save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.

Finally, I wouldn’t worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.
