home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.
nginx pm (proxy manager)
octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)
all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It’s fast, and silent, and cheap to run.
on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.
am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!
Can’t speak to OP’s reasons, and I am currently torn whether to switch over to jellyfin or not. I am currently running both Plex and Jellyfin side by side with the same media libraries.
I am annoyed by the fact that Plex requires that you log in and authenticate against Plex’s own servers to view your own media. I know technically you can set up local access if Plex’s servers are not available, but you don’t get user account restrictions, watch history, etc when you are not able to authenticate against Plex’s servers. If I have an experience that is that degraded, then I consider the service useless unless you are able to access Plex’s servers.
Plex’s recommendations are stupid and annoying. I am running Plex because I want an easy way to enjoy my own media. The other night, my wife was looking to watch a TV series that I have on my Plex server, which I have watched from my server in the past. When she searched for it, Plex was attempting to get her to watch the series on Hulu (a service that not only do we not subscribe to, but is not even available in our country). We ended up having to browse our TV Library to find it since no search I did would find it.
Plex’s recent moves toward monitization are concerning. I understand that Plex is a private company and needs to make money. I am not a fan of the way that they appear to be doing it. It seems like Plex likely will (if they are not already) sell search and watch data to the bigger streaming giants. Maybe the gave away too many lifetime Plexpasses?
I really appreciate how reasonable (IMO) the demands are in the stickied comment in that thread.
Honestly it would be a good business move to accept those terms exactly as presented in that stickied comment. Nothing unreasonable is being suggested there.
I’m honestly done with Reddit and I really hope enough people find a new home outside of it when this is all said and done. Hanging out on here has made me realize how toxic and mentally draining Reddit actually is.
I think Reddit will continue to grow into a normie cesspool of children and mentality I’ll folks and will eventually go the way of FB and Twitter where the interesting and saine folks will dig out new communities in some other place to be determined
I couldn’t agree more with your opinion on Reddit. Over the past 10 years it has become so much more toxic and unwelcoming. It is hivemind culture and it is only going to get worse over time. The reporting on the Boston bombings should have been writing on the walls and that was a good while ago. Looking at it now, I just can’t believe how depressing it was just doom scrolling on that app daily.
Spez has told Reddit staff that the blackout “will pass”.
He’s right, it will. And that’s the problem.
A two day blackout means nothing to Spez and Reddit. What it tells them is “we can treat the userbase and developers like shit and they’ll still use our platform for the other 363 days of the year”.
The only thing that will force Reddit to the negotiating table is blacking out indefinitely. Not a single protesting subreddit opens back up until they realise what made the company so attractive to investors in the first place.
There are a couple of subreddits that will go blackout indefinitely. I think r/video is one of them, and it’s quite big. This can be annoying for the platform.
As others mentioned, if any worthwhile subreddit goes dark, then the mods will be replaced and it’ll be brought back.
Creating some noise works only if anyone is listening and willing to respond and enact change. Absolutely not in this scenario. The sad reality is the vocal ones are in the minority in the grand scheme of things. The 50k people leaving is, probably, pocket change and aren’t the ones that the platform is geared towards nowadays.
Blacking out indefinitely won’t change a thing. Reddit has before and will again, if threatened this way, re-open shuttered subs if they believe it is valuable for their bottom line.
I have a Pixel 4a because I refuse to spend more than $200 on a phone. The battery is starting to not last very long so either I am going to replace the battery or get a Pixel 6a for $200. I’d really prefer to not need a new phone because I like the headphone jack.
If you’re open to things similar to Plex, I’d recommend Jellyfin! Plex has been making some decisions lately that aren’t necessarily selfhoster friendly. A selfhosted instance of Plex still authenticates using Plex’s central servers (if you’re internet is out or Plex is down and you want to stream your own movies or shows, that won’t work due to failed authentication). That’s compared to your Jellyfin instance handling authentication locally. If you can contact your server, you can watch your media. Plex has also announced a credit skipping feature, uploading credit timing to their central servers that can be restored on complete rebuild. While they say it’s anonymous, they need some way to associate you and the proper credit timings, to send that back to you.
Jellyfin is earlier days in development, and you should check to see what clients are available to see if that would work with your hardware. But Jellyfin is definitely catching up, I’ve been very happy with their server and applications.
Look at the average scene in an MCU movie and see that 90% of it is usually CGI. Extrapolate all those effects across a 120 minute film and add in the price of the top name actors they usually have, and I’m surprised it’s only 350 million.
Surprisingly, yes. Filming on location and all the logistics that go along with that can balloon the cost real fast, especially for multiple locations. (Site fees, travel, talent costs, additional security, a separate crew unit, etc) CGI allows you to create different locations through green screen, which majorly cuts down on a lot of the scheduling/logistics. Sometimes green screen will be just a window, other times it will be literally the entire set.
They’re starting to use sets where, instead of having greenscreen, the walls are giant LED screens where they display the background. This way the director has complete control of what is going on in the scene in the moment. (also, with greenscreen you can get a weird green reflection on the actors that needs to be corrected for).
Agreed. Also their hardware and software integration, long term support, and battery when compared to other flagship phones, although the s23 seems to be on par with iPhones this time around.
Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.
I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.
I think the mod tools are what will blow reddit up ultimately. It’s why I’m here.
The third party apps are a hard self own, but I don’t use reddit because of third party apps. I use third party apps because the reddit official app is… Special. If they’d forced me to sue their app I would be annoyed, but still interested in reddit.
If you destroy the key tools that enable volunteer moderators to manage communities, the community will die. Example: two of my favorite subs were legaladvice, and bestoflegaladvice. Both required extensive moderating to function (and even then, it was prone to shit shows particularly at LA). No mod tools would make it unmoderatable… Which turns you into Voat pretty fast.
So, I don’t think reddit dies July 1. I think reddit spends the next year turning into Twitter, and lemmy has to run as fast as it can to scale.
Hopefully, this is my last post on lemmy talking about reddit, but I doubt I’m that lucky.
