I love when people make the effort to do this kind of stuff and I got the opportunity to have someone do it for my post.

TIL they show ads for guns. What exactly do they advertise?

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in If an alien civilization were to visit Earth, what movie would you pick to show them in order to give them a summary of what mankind is all about?

Fun fact: I have watched none of the movies listed here in the comments

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to selfhosted in Where to find guide on self hosting for a complete beginner?

Wait, is an old laptop also good enough for setting up a home server? I thought you would require a completely separated and dedicated PC box like the ones you can see in studios or offices. That’s new to me!

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to selfhosted in Where to find guide on self hosting for a complete beginner?

That is a great analogy of explaining the broadness of the concept of self hosting that I wasnt able to understand from the other comments.

As a beginner, I would like to start out with a storage provider like Google Drive (& Google Photos). I currently don’t have any hardware for a home server but I can get one as per my requirements.

The biggest issue for me would be the OS running in the home server. I would preferably want something compatible with Windows since I have worked with Windows for my whole life. I am also fine with working with Linux, however I don’t want to spend weeks banging my head on setting up and using Linux before I even start configuring it for my home server. I will be able to handle learning about networkings of the server on the go and troubleshoot problems as long as the OS does not bother me. As with self hosting, I am a beginner in the field of Linux so I don’t know what ‘distro’ would be best for me for this purpose, but nonetheless I will research more about it thanks to your headstart.

jonathanvmv8f , 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago) to technology in Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?

I’ve heard a lot about setting up a Plex or a Jellyfin server locally, but from what I can tell they are just media storage platforms and in order to watch anything you would have to add your own content. In this age of digital content, it is very unlikely for a simpleton like me to go out and purchase hundreds of movie disks separately and manually load them into my CD drive to even have a fraction of the catalogue these streaming services combined provide. Also torrenting really isn’t a viable option for me as I personally use a free tier Proton VPN which doesn’t allow P2P, and even if I did get a proper one, I would still be limited to availability of seeds for movies I want to watch, which may or may not exist depending on the popularity of the said movie. I currently use a niche streaming site to watch my movies without any issues. Are self hosted plex/jellyfin servers really for a person like me?

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

I’ve already watched the movie. Does it make the book redundant?

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

I swear it wasn’t intentional 😓

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

Truth be told, I have been reading graphic novels for a month now. I wanted to move away from comics in favour of starting to read books, but like I said in the post, I do not know of any books that could provide a similar amount of humor as from the dialogs in these comics, which is the primary reason why I read them, not because of the illustrations.

jonathanvmv8f OP , 9 months ago to asklemmy in Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

Can you elaborate on this ‘nerdy humor’? If it is what I believe it to be, I could also enjoy that. I love memes and jokes revolving around complex maths and scientific phenomena that you need to have properly studied in order to understand the humor.
