Florida man -> woman. Can’t believe how dumb lemmy can be at times.

There’s a gender fluid joke in there somewhere

It is created by the samw dev as pixelfed - wouldn’t be surprised if parts were reused to bootstrap quickly.

Takes half a minute to start playing, which gets annoying real quick when a toddler gets involved with all the short videos.

Random buffering every 10-15 minutes on most 1080p as well as 4k videos.

Random buffering every couple of minutes on certain videos - the whole of the office us is the last one I remember.

Crappy multi audio track support - some of them play, but most don’t. What was most infuriating at first was jellyfin happily selecting the track I want in UI and then just playing the default one anyway.

The UI is kinda crap - I understand moving on a tv screen is more difficult, but god damn - what jellyfin is doing with arrow navigation is plain masochistic.

When it works - it’s beautiful. But it rarely does so for long enough.

I really want to like it, but it’s doing its best to push me away.

And before you suggest anything - I’ve already tried everything there is to try that’s available on the open internet. Happy to hear something that’s never been posted anywhere, though!

I can only vouch for my setup; many variations are available.

• Nextcloud - files, photo autoupload, contacts, calendar
• Postfix and dovecot (and a bunch of friends) - email
• Pixelfed - private instagram. Can federate, but I’ve never enabled that.
• Opnsense - firewall, vpn, adblocking via unbound. Wireguard is my choice, but any would do. I get all my lan stuff available everywhere.
• Jellyfin - media library. It’s kinda sucky, though, thinking of going back to plex, unfortunately.
• Lemmy - well. You know what it is :)
• Graphene on a pixel

Hit me up if you ever decide to go self hosting route and need a hand with a thing or two!

Yea, it’s a constant battle. FWIW - try getting the important people onto signal. I use molly client and it has its own mechanism to sync messages in real time, or at least close enough to real time that I haven’t noticed.

One of the unexpected benefits of running grapheneos is that shit like whatsapp can’t cope without having play services available and, as such, doesn’t really do real time notifications. It still checks in every now and then, but that’s definitely bettee than it working “properly”.

That’s a very good point! Thank you!

Is virus alive? We have tons of those as well.

I’ve always wanted to archive stuff, but storage costs keep getting in the way. Any idea if there’s some trick people use to get around it? I’d love me a tape robot, but that’s stupid expensive.

Serves as a reminder that there’s always someone faster than you!

Ah, the wifebeater drink.

This is a sensationalized title. As always - nobody ever reads the bloody articles. What he actually said was

we’re not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we’re not organized to do it.

Is he that wrong? Do you think we actually are organized enough?

To me that’s a benefit. Stays steady on the hob.

OpenRC represent!

That shitstain has been such a shitstain for at least 14 years!

Of all the things you could’ve said you chose one of the dumbest.

It’s easy to shit on everything, so I’ll try to avoid doing that.

I do genuinely not understand the blind “minimum wage should be this” angle. All raising the minimum wage does is raise expenses for everything. It’s pretty much like fuel costs: price of fuel goes up - your bakery, pharmacy, grocer, etc all raise prices and in the end it is those on the lowest income that get impacted the most.

A bit of a mind dump:

• Most of us live in a capitalist system. You can dislike it all you want, but as someone who’s seen what happens when ownership is shared, everyone is equal, a cook should be able to run a country - fuck that. I’ll take bad capitalism over that nonsense any day.
• Everyone should strive to improve themselves. Every day. Doesn’t have to be monetarily driven improvement - it’s the mindset of constant improvement that I want. And when that happens - aiming for minimum wage becomes a thing of the past.
• Everyone is not equal. Everyone must be given equal opportunity. We’re good at different things, we absolutely suck at different things. Doesn’t mean we’re bad/wrong/mistreated if we try those things. What is wrong, however, is someone claiming they deserve something (great salary) when they suck at doing whatever they’re doing. Just go do something else; preferably something you’re good at.
• Deep inside - we’re apes. We need to keep ourselves busy as otherwise brain starts overcompensating for lack of activity and we end up being idiots on the internet. Given enough time that leads to us being idiots outside the internet as well.
• Mental health issues are real. They’re abused waaaay too much as an excuse to rot in the basement. Been there, done that. Start small, increment daily. Small, iterative steps. Everything takes time. Your choice on what gets your spend.

I mean… Normally men measure something other than beards. This is such a weird choice!

A bit of a PSA for LG owners running webOS:

I rooted my tv and now have adless youtube, but apparently root is not a prerequisite - there also installation using dev mode. Admitedly, haven’t tried it and it’s probably less convenient to get it set up, but then it should be a one time thing.
