  • Syncplay requires adequate hardware and network. Especially if you're transcoding at the same time. You're transcoding for 2 people at once, and depending on your setup sending to each person at different rates. It's hard to coordinate that.

  • Two things can be true.

    I know a lot of women who didn't vote for her because she was a woman. Shit is crazy to me, but that doesn't mean it's not the reality. I'm sure there are a shocking number of people who didn't vote for her because she's a woman.

  • This is the ideal progressive ticket, IMO. It's not as scary for the mid as having a female President (grow the fuck up, guys), but she'll still be able to provide her support and opinion far above her current station. People seem to really like Tim, which is great.

    But in the end none of it matters. They're all historically pro-Israel and people don't forget that. They've begun to change their tune, but only just now. It seems disingenuous to get votes, which just seems...hollow.

  • There are two schools of thought, and one of them is insanely wrong.

    The current preferred method (by youngins) for pirating is by using a VPN provider to "hide" your torrent traffic, which is generally valid, but it's not a silver bullet and it's a wrong way to think.

    The other is to use a seedbox, which is a remote server hosted in a country that doesn't recognize piracy as a crime to begin with...

    The choice is clear. Especially when you consider to get a good private VPN you'll have to pay $5-10/mo. You may as well pay $5-10/mo to commit a crime where no one thinks its a crime, then you never have to worry about it. Using a VPN you can still get caught, it's just exceptionally rare because conditions have to line up perfectly. But what if your VPN is down, and you accidentally begin a download? You willing to get a $100,000 fine for that?

    Just use a damn seedbox.

  • Been using FeralHosting for 10 years or so now. A bit more expensive than the rest, but I've had less than 3-4 issues within that whole time and they've always been a reliable provider. Highly recommend them.

  • Cloudflare is a DNS provider, DDoS protection provider, tunnel provider, etc. They are not a hosting provider. How is using cloudflare somehow discounting the self-host experience?

    It's the #2 DNS domain registrar in the world right now. It's not weird at all that most people would use it...luddite you may be.

  • I started to follow a guide (& doing a bunch of googling + chatGPT) for setting Jellyfin remote access for my parents. And this is where I’m a bit out of my depth [...] I have a dynamic IP [...] duckDNS path

    Stay away from DuckDNS. Used to be fabulous but now it's incredibly overused and very unstable. Works, then just stops for a period of time. Check out HurricaneElectric. Any A record can be enabled as DDNS that you can update with just curl. It's great. I've been using them for about 10 years now without issues. They were down one time like... 5 years ago for several hours, and that was it.

    Also as a side note: I see people talk about Caddy as a reverse proxy for extra security, but what does it do?

    This option is nice if you self-host a web server with no bandwidth restriction. You setup caddy, update your DNS to register your home IP on X domain. Point jelly.x.domain to whatever your public IP is, with the port as a reverse proxy, then your IP is reachable via jelly.x.domain but it's not a great setup for you because of the dynamic IP unless you do a bunch of setup to ensure it routes.

    IMO the best option would be;

    1. Install jellyfin server
    2. Open port 8096 on your router for your jellyfin server IP
    3. Create a jellyfin user for your parents, and enable remote connection
    4. Setup DDNS (I highly suggest he.net) and point your domain to your IP
    5. Setup cron job to update your DDNS record with he.net every hour or so using curl
    6. Setup jellyfin for your parents TV or whatever device they'll use to watch it
    7. Login and enjoy

  • Google Play Services is at the very core of Android and it will only get worse from here, and a very significant portion of the Android ecosystem requires GPS to function. Auto updates, built-in Android security features, a significant portion of secure apps like banking and financial service applications, Find my Phone, Cloud Backups, etc. The list goes on. And it's funny because each one of these removed features are generally replaced with a third party alternative, which means you're still trusting a third party with your data... I could understand if you didn't want any company to have your data. That makes sense. But you specifically curtail Google who authors the OS in favor of a third party who also might be doing the same things with your data anyways. It's all just so incredibly stupid.

    You may be completely happy with Graphene, but the overwhelming vast majority of people won't be because it removes the specific advantages of using Android as an ecosystem.

    If you want to be free of Google, then be free of Google and don't use hardware and an OS that they designed and made. It's like hating Nazi's but wearing an SS jacket because "it's warm." It's fuckin' mind-blindingly crazy.

  • Seems like it was only a matter of time.

    20% more will jump to Jellyfin. The other 80% will entrench and talk even more about how great Plex is. I mean Jesus, $250 to watch pirated movies. lol wtf It's also fucking wild to me that people are defending a monetization model that is on self hosted hardware. Like, I gotta pay for my server and then a license to avoid buying DVDs. Fuck it, at this point just buy the fucking movie.

    Ya'll are brain dead. Plex loves you tho.

  • They've only very recently begun to change their public opinion on it. Last year this time Bernie was catching heat for refusing to support a permanent ceasefire;

    Senator Bernie Sanders's refusal to call for a permanent cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has put him at odds with many of the same progressives [...] ^1

    Additionally, this is AOCs stance on Israel: https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ocasio-cortez-statement-first-anniversary-october-7th

    As you can see, she strongly condemns Hamas, which is great. She strongly condemns Israel, and Netanyahu, which is great. And I totally agree with the entire statement all the way down until the last paragraph;

    None of this was inevitable. And it can still be stopped. Hamas, Israel, and Hezbollah should agree to a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.

    Hamas is a terrorist organization which was quite literally created by Israel by their systematic abuse of an entire group of people. There's nothing about this entire situation that wasn't inevitable. You can't abuse a people for decades, encroach on their lives, livelihood, murder them, strongly police them, continually treat them like shit and sub-human and expect them not to retaliate. Much like the US is directly responsible for the situations leading to terrorist attacks against the US, Israel is also directly responsible for Hamas.

    Even aside from all of this, her views on Israel again, just like Sanders are relatively new. Just last year she was about to be censured by other party members for being too soft on Israel ^1.

    "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference." -- Elie Wiesel

    So yeah, it's great that they're just now coming around to the plight of Gaza and the Palestinians it's not like they actually believe it. It's all politically motivated. They're beginning to understand that unless they condemn Israel they won't be elected--which is pretty fucked up IMO.

  • I mean, support for genocide is wholly evil, I don't care what your other policies are. lol Evil is evil lil bro. There's no such thing as a lesser degree of evil.

    It would be the same if like, Donald Trump was a perfect candidate, but he's also a sexual predator. That should immediately disqualify him, otherwise you're supporting that behavior.

    Bernie and AOC most closely align with my political viewpoints, but they're also supporting genocide... If I support them, then I'm also supporting genocide. Is what it is.

    If that pisses you off, then maybe talk to Bernie and/or AOC about their stance on Israel.

  • De-googled projects get none of the benefit of being android, while all of the downfall of being android. So either use it or don't. It simply doesn't make any sense.

    It's like buying a Tesla and then replacing all of the systems within it because you hate Tesla. Like, wtf. Why would you buy it then? End of the day its your money, do what you want, but still. What the fuck.
