It really depends. I’d suspect if it cannot play a video, then it wouldn’t be able to serve it either. People are doing a lot more than this on Raspberry Pis.

For me, the best place to start was with services that replace cloud products. Setting up Immich for photo storage, Jellyfin for movies and shows, or navidrome for music.

Not at all. At least three or four people have said that PLEX has better features, but no one so far has said what features make it worth using or what makes it better. I found that Jellyfin was one of the easiest things to set up once I started my home server. I don’t have any background in tech or IT, I’m just a hobyist.

I went with Jellyfin when I was setting it up because it seemed easier and had a more active support community, but from looking at the two, they seemed basically interchangeable. I’ve never had a reason to look for something else, since Jellyfin works better than most of the corporate apps on my TV. It loads faster, has less lag, and is easier to navigate than Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc. My zero-tech family find it easy enough to use daily.

When I found out Plex charged, I thought that they were actually managing your remote storage or something. What is the market for people who want to pay to access their own files on their own hardware? I genuinely don’t get it. If you want to share it, out of your home network there is always Tailscale or the like.

I don’t get who this product is for in a universe where Jellyfin exists.

Are you in a single party consent location for audio recording?

Wealth tax or property taxes.

I’m reading Everything is Tuberculosis (great book by the way), and the author posits a reason for African mistrust of Western medicine. As a civilization, we have created a surge and abandon standard of care in Africa.

Clinics open up on grants, send doctors and facilities, then evaporate when the grant/interest dries up. There is no continuity of care, no training of local doctors, and no reliable facilities and supply lines. Of course there is no trust.

We need to be investing in training and sustainable care if there is to be any changes in the culture around medicine in Africa.

I don’t want to undersell the design or technical achievements of the films. They are truly beautiful and it’s clear where the budget went. Other than being pretty to look at and inspiring a Disney Park, what is the cultural impact?

For contrast, Kevin Smith made a movie for the cost of a car that people still quote 30 years later.

I was thinking about this the other day - I saw the movie and I know what a Navi is, but I can’t recall a single memorable quote or name a character. There is no memorable SNL sketch except the one masking fun of the Papyrus font. There is no fandom, there is nothing

Israelis need to make a coalition to remove this monster and the entire Netanyahu circus of horrors

That’s just Banjo Kazooie

These scum just show up everywhere

What context would make it okay for you?

It’s already linked multiple times in this thread

I agree with you completely, other than the last line. This is a guy who is unapologetic about making bigoted statements about Jews. He was called out on it and doubled down.

I am bothered by someone speaking out in the guise of being part of my movement thinking it’s fine to say things like that. I am even more bothered by apparent throngs of people who refuse to hold any accountability for antisemitic language repeated in YOUR name (specifically referring to Haredi/religious Jews as “inbred”)

No, he specifically called Jews who refused to join the IDF for religious reasons inbred. Watch the clip. But I guess keep defending it.

This is a guy who has publicly and gleefully called religious Jews “inbred.” I would love to see just one anti-racist say that this man has no place in the movement.

But calling Jews inbred is antisemitic.

Just look at all of the supposed leftists refusing to distance themselves from this literal antisemitic jerk.

As long as he is also anti-Israel people seem fine to defend him.

The far left has created a climate in which there is no consequence for antisemitism as long as the perpetrator is also anti-Israel.

It’s not a bad idea to have energy production near where the energy is being used.

That said, it’s not an either or.

Technology Connections actually did a great video on why using solar panels in place of crops can benefit the crops and actually provides more energy than the crops themselves. At least in the U.S., a huge portion of our crops are used for ethanol in gasoline anyway.

This has been an open secret for YEARS. I remember joking about this with my buddies when I was a kid: Yes, the donations help kids… But they don’t mention it’s just Kars for OUR OWN kids.
