I can’t understand the reason people choose Jellyfin over Stremio. I gave it a try, and it seems a lot of hassle.

Maybe Jellyfin fits people who download their content in advance, while I make spontaneous decisions.

Please use $HOME instead of this. There are configurations that do not rely on the usual /home/$USER format. The root user is a good example, having their $HOME set to /root.

/{username}//home/{username}

What is this path supposed to be?

To make it inconvenient enough for non-authorized mechanics to touch the car. Forcing the owner to pay the manufacturer to fix the car.

SSDs are way more efficient than HDDs for swap.

SSDs are electronic, while HDDs are mechanical. This means that moving memory regions (pages) between system RAM and the storage requires:

• physical moves, in the case of HDD
• accessing a different region of the chips, in the case of SSD

Imagine a scenario in which completely unrelated data access requests floods your storage drive. An HDD needs to constantly realign its needle to the requested locations, while the SSD can just re-route its data lines to that location.

No. AI workloads benefit from SSD’s high random read/write performance. Also, I guess, more people starting using SSDs for paging/swap, as RAM prices skyrocketed.

This resulted in an SSD shortage immediately after RAM starting getting expensive. Which in turn caused an HDD shortage, because people need space to store their data.

If I understand correctly, this affects 3d printers that can read STL. What if someone, hypothetically, uses an open source slicer, like Orca, and print from gcode?

You lost the Game

Are you talking about the “The page needs to be reloaded” error?

The current solution is to use nieveve/piped-backend for the API.

I have used their image before, when there was an issue with Piped appearing as a bot and requiring captcha.

What are the advantages of Invidious, compared to Piped?

I have been self-hosting Piped for the last 3 years, but I never tried Invidious.

Out of all the services that Valve offers, you decided to compare their checkout page?

• Valve offers to devs, completely free of charge, full access to their matchmaking network, across any platform
• Valve has vastly improved Windows games compatibility on Linux, by developing Proton. Epic locks users to Windows, because of their anti-cheat.
• Valve revolutionized handheld gaming, by bringing desktop games to portable devices
• Valve requires devs to show in the games’ store page whether it contains AI slop. Epic is a supporter of AI slop

Nuh… We have had 16k for at least 8 years

I used to port forward, but I have stopped doing it. I don’t want to have open ports on the same IP that I use for internet browsing.

I have my local server connected, via WireGuard, to a cheap nearby VPS. All my services are exposed from that VPS.

This configuration also offers full portability to my home server, allowing me to switch to any ISP, or even move to mobile data, if I have to.

For applications that require even lower latency, like remote gaming, I use Tailscale, which can traverse the NATs and create direct connections between the devices.

I was referring to Altman lobbying towards considering AI training as fair use of copyrighted material.

I know that pirating is not fair use. However, AI companies seem to rely on pirated copies to train their slop machines, and they are trying to justify this behavior.

No, it’s fair use

Maybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?

When you create VMs/containers, there is an option on the network step to set the VLAN tag to use

We didn’t hid our heads in the sand. Your comment serves no purpose, besides being a rant about how Linux cannot work for you. You could at least be more polite.

No one forced you to use Linux, and probably no one will. It’s your setup, and it’s your responsibility.

If you want to keep being an asshole, you will only get more down votes. If you need help transitioning to Linux, you can politely ask for it.

There is no point attacking random people for not “acknowledging” your issues.

Can you elaborate? To me, Go seems to have less boilerplate.

• Go does not have access modifiers
• Go does not force you to put everything in classes
• Go does not force you to put every exception, that may be thrown, at the function declaration
• Go can directly map complex JSONs to structs

Go is verbose? Have you ever written Java?
