It’s sponsored by one Republican and one Democrat.

Back in what day? 25 years ago this is exactly what happened with the dotcom bubble and it was just as silly.

It’s a clumsy attempt to strongarm tech companies into setting up factories in the USA

Evidently not since Netgear has zero factories in the USA and plans to bring zero factories to the USA in the future.

It may also be an attempt to create an environment in which it’s easier to install US government backdoors on every home router.

It’s this one.

What a puerile take lol

They ship with zsh

Only if that country doesn’t have info sharing treaties with the US. So much of Europe isn’t any safer than in the US.

Reddit is headquartered in San Francisco

That is what I said

I am no fan of reddit but in this case Reddit appears to have championed this users anonymity going so far as to actively draw the ire of the administration.

• Reddit refused to comply with the initial administrative subpoena
• the Federal government came back with this grand jury subpoena and warned Reddit not to disclose the existence of the subpoena or they’d consider it interference in federal law enforcement
• Reddit complied with this new legally binding subpoena, but did not comply with the demand to keep it a secret. In the contrary, they immediately alerted the user of the subpoena which allowed him time to immediately lawyer up.

You’re not wrong that you’re not safe posting on Reddit, but if this case is any indication you’re not any less safe posting in Reddit than any other site, including Lemmy.

Signing it verifies that the software was made by company that it says it was. It’s a method to avoid installing fake or malicious software.

It is on its face a good thing, with the major caveat being who is in charge of who gets to sign what.

The person they’re replying to was talking specifically about their Plex server and how av1 causes problems with it. If their Plex server is the thing that is having trouble with AV1, then it’s encode.

“Click button media plays” would be the bare minimum a media server does. Being able to play media at all does not elevate it above of its position at the bottom of the media player stack.

Yeah you’re going to need HW acceleration to encode AV1 on your server “without issues”.

Theres a world of difference between something that’s technically possible and something that will just work without issues of any kind. Something being “good enough” implies the existence of caveats. Mainly being that’d be a shitty experience lol.

Lmao

jellyfin is the least functional of the trinity of media servers so that’s not the best recommendation here.

How would that help at all lol

Neither of those things support AV1 encoding or decoding. Curious how you’ve come to believe you’re having “no issues” with a codec your hardware has no support for.

Can hardly blame you for failing to keep up with the breakneck pace in which the U.S. government has been assaulting our freedoms and privacy. Some new fresh hell every day an all.

Net Neutrality was repealed in the U.S. in 2017. ISPs including your mobile phone carrier are allowed to throttle your bandwidth based on the sites you visit. When you use a VPN an tunnel your DNS through it to servers not operated by your ISP, they don’t know which sites you’re visiting, so any automated throttling would not happen.

As somebody who knows how DNS works, there are certainly cases where DNS servers causing a delayed response to requests will slow down the initial loading of sites. This would result in a layman thinking their wireless speed is “slow”
