Please stop! I can only love my Linux machines so much!

We also can’t be bothered not to use their shitty tech. From the moment I wanted a Gmail replacement to the moment I signed up for a new service was like 6 months.

I think Bazzite is good for Linux newbies. Once you hit roadblocks (e.g. immutable files, sandboxes) you can choose to work around them or switch to a more vanilla Fedora distro. Most annoying thing I’ve run into, maybe not unique to Bazzite, is setting up port forwarding without having to use low-level rules that firewalld doesn’t detect.

An individual wouldn’t verify this but enough independent agencies or news orgs would probably care enough to verify a photo. For the vast majority we’re already too far gone to properly separate fiction an reality. If we can’t get into a courtroom and prove that a picture or video is fact or fiction then we’re REALLY fucked.

The point is to give photographers a “receipt” for their photos. If you don’t want the receipt it would be easy to scrub from photo metadata.

Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.

I don’t know if it was overhyped or too expensive (or both) but Drobo seemed like a good consumer solution to this problem. The idea of being able to live swap drives and have it all handle redundancy, provisioning, recovery, and whatnot automatically is critical for making this a true “home appliance”.

Energy usage may not be astronomical right now but AI is going into everything. Like EVERYTHING! It’ll be running even when you don’t think it’s running, when you think it makes no sense to be running. Usage of AI itself will skyrocket and the fastest energy sources that can be acquired are likely to come first.

Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.

If I took this argument in good faith, also consider your behaviors can be used against you and your neighbor. I’ve heard people say TikTok knew they were bisexual before the user themself knew it. Massive amounts of data on human behavior can be used to sell you the newest phone or the newest infringement of your rights.

As soon as I saw Plex show media that wasn’t part of my personal library I knew it was becoming enshitified.

In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.

Don’t remember if it was the same on Windows (before I permanently switched) but hopefully this will keep my GPU from running full throttle from the second I click the launcher until it’s closed.

Clearly this admin doesn’t care about pesky things like laws. If they don’t like you they’ll pull any dirty trick they can to stop you. Only reason they haven’t gone after normal people is time and money.

IDK about the RPi5 but earlier models don’t do well with transcoding. You’ll want to make sure to convert all of your videos to a format widely compatible with your clients. H264 is usually compatible with any device of the last 10ish years.

Only learning curve is naming. Jellyfin seems less forgiving about filenames and folder structure than Plex was.

Same. And they basically jizz their pants when they see a practical use for AI, but 9 out of 10 times there’s already a cheaper and more reliable solution they won’t even entertain.
