You’re probably holding your controller wrong.

That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of their young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

If only Steve Irwin had this in 2006.

There are no “goats” browsers. Every browser sucks.

I take it you’ve never even tried Linux before. Both of those things are not things that will hold you back. My mom uses Linux, and she barely knows what “right click” means.

With regard to your Steam games, as long as you don’t play games that use restrictive anticheat, you’ll be fine.

I have all Reolink cameras and they’re awesome. They have both indoor and outdoor cameras. They’re really expensive compared to other similar cameras, but the software is really good, and there’s no subscription. You don’t even need to log in. Everything is only stored locally, on either SD cards in the camera or a separate “home hub” (or both). They have motion and object detection built into the cameras.

The way I have them set up is every indoor camera is plugged into a smart outlet that disconnects their power through Home Assistant when either me or my wife are home.

The outdoor ones are connected to solar power, so I didn’t even have to run any wires.

I’d highly recommend them.

Oh I got this. Real good fuck up. So, I run a bunch of services for me and family and friends, like Nextcloud, Immich, Mastodon, etc. All of their data is stored on a big RAID array built with mdadm. I built it before I knew about dm-integrity, so I wanted to rebuild it with dm-integrity running on all the disks. So I took out one disk (it’s a RAID6, so it can stand losing a disk just fine), and added dm-integrity on top of it. When I tried to add it back to the array, mdadm was like, “that’s not a big enough device”. Ok, yeah, makes sense, dm-integrity takes up some space. So I took all the services offline and started a resize2fs to reduce from 22TB to 18TB. Well that was taking forever, so I canceled and ran e2fsck, no worries. I started a new resize2fs reducing from 22TB to 21.8TB, which should be good enough. On pass 4, it’s looking like it’s gonna take 8 DAYS. I can’t have my services offline for that long, so I cancel and run e2fsck. Thousands of errors. Oops.

At least it’s looking like all the errors are just in Mastodon’s cache files.

So now I’m moving all the files to an external drive in order to migrate the array properly. In its degraded state though, the array is painfully slow. At least my services are online.

So basically I risked my files (though I have a backup from about three days before all this), and gave myself an extra maybe ten days(?) of work.

Moral of the story, don’t ever use resize2fs unless you have time to wait.

Democrats do gerrymandering too. Basically without gerrymandering, the power would shift about 4% in Democrats favor. Enough to shift power in the House, but not as much as people think.

(That statistic comes from a video I watched a while ago, and could be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt. I’m not an authority on this matter.)

Personally, absolutely. California subsidizes so many of the red states in this country, and it sucks, because we don’t get the representation we should. We have 10% of the population, but only get 2% of the representation in the Senate.

That being said, I am completely aware that this is Putin’s goal, and that is why there is a lot of discussion online from Russian bot accounts about this.

It sucks when your goals align with Putin’s, because he is such a monster.

Safe, yeah. Private, no. If you want to verify whether a user is a real person, you need very personally identifiable information. That’s not ever going to be private.

The best you could do, in theory, is have a government service that takes that PII and gives the user a signed cryptographic certificate they can use to verify their identity. Most people would either lose their private key or have it stolen, so even that system would have problems.

The closest to reality you could do right now is use Apple’s FaceID, and that’s anything but private. Pretty safe though. It’s super illegal and quite hard to steal someone’s face.

Dead Like Me is fairly slow, but really interesting. Same with Coupling. Two great shows.

Cool. I was going a little anxious, it being a few years since a Republican got us in a war in the Middle East. I’m not used to peace. /s

So, Jellyfin is one of those apps where the Docker documentation is really lacking. I’m gonna give you my docker-compose.yml file in case it helps:

services:
  jellyfin:
    image: jellyfin/jellyfin
    user: 0:0
    restart: 'unless-stopped'
    ports:
      - '8096:8096'
    environment:
      #- JELLYFIN_CACHE_DIR=/var/cache/jellyfin
      #- JELLYFIN_CONFIG_DIR=/etc/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/jellyfin
      - JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR=/var/log/jellyfin
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./cache:/cache
      - ./data:/var/lib/jellyfin
      - ./log:/var/log/jellyfin
      - /data/jellyfin:/data/jellyfin
    devices:
      - /dev/dri

For me /data/ is my RAID array, which is why my jellyfin data directory is there. Everything else goes in the same directory as the compose file. My system has a graphics card that does transcoding (Arc A380), so I have /dev/dri under devices.

You should learn a lot about Docker Compose, because it will help you tremendously. I use Jellyfin behind an Nginx Proxy Manager reverse proxy. I’d highly recommend it. Here’s my compose file for that:

services:
  app:
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "host"
    #ports:
    #  - '80:80'
    #  - '81:81'
    #  - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

Running in “host” mode is important, instead of just forwarding ports, because it lets you forward things to localhost, like pointing https://media/.[mydomain]/ to http://127.0.0.1:8096/ for Jellyfin.

Anyway, best of luck to you, and I hope that helps!

Use Portainer if you don’t want anything to be portable. There are other issues too. Just use Docker Compose.

Is there a reason you’re not using Docker?

Social media is not a news source.

Because the Android SDK is owned and controlled by Google. They’ve consistently made decisions to make it harder to stay out of their ecosystem (like the new “Integrity” API).

As consumers, we would vastly benefit from having another choice that isn’t controlled by one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

I like how their idea of entry level is a 16GB RAM phone for €890.

Yeah, fair enough. That’s a great point. I will update my opinion of this advancement.

The catch is that it’s useless in most plastics applications, where you really don’t want it to dissolve easily. Probably more catches, but that’s the one I see right away.
