Not normal. Check Firefox plugins. Maybe disable that safe browsing check option I doubt that’s it but it can’t hurt.

What, no Xitter?

Yeah, the major manufacturers iradiate flour these days. It improves there shelf life and allows them to leave it in backstock a lot longer.

When I first read this, I was kind of hoping it was in shower thoughts.

Yeah between the forced binding arbitration and their claims to wanting to start pre-roll ads, Roku is dead to me, I will never buy another device from them nor recommend them to anyone.

It sucked when Crashplan’s home client went under. If you installed the client on two computers with internet access, it would let you set the remote computer as a target. Encryption was done at the source, it had dedupe, versioning. It ate a little ram but it was really nice.

Yep, I tried Tailscale at home… 3 weeks later I started using it at work, so insanely easy.

Test out that Nix, Mine refused to let me install from it when I just shoved their iso in Ventoy.

Someone got a hackintosh running from ventoy on specific hardware

• I’ve been trying to get a x86 Android one working, no luck yet.
• Kali
• WinPE EasUS partition manager liveboot
• Gandalf’s win10PE
• Gandalf’s win11PE
• Hirens CD PE (debatably useless in this age)

Sure it’s getting cheaper, but is it getting cheaper faster than their need for it?

I’ve always expected their business model was unsustainable probably only able to manage through venture capital and growth.

There’s hardly even any competition, their free product is substantial. Even fully funding a server is barely enough to cover a bare metal node.

This is just the introduction to cost savings. As they wade into market saturation, and still need to provide growth in numbers they’ll need to pinch the free users into paying and pinch the paying users into paying enough to fully fund the service. Of course it won’t stop there…

Edit: FFS dictation can’t ‘their’ it’s way out of a wet paper bag.

With the pyrolysis or the other couple of methods they worked out it actually turns it back into a raw material that can be reused to make new plastic. It’s not as cheap as the methods where they just kind of heated up and melt it back together to become lawn furniture, but it leads to a quality plastic replacement product

I’ve been kind of hoping with just use renewables to do pyrolysis on waste plastic and turn it back into oil. It’s extremely power hungry to do it but we’ve got power to spare.

I’m running something surprisingly close to most of what you’re asking for sans the immich which I’m waiting on stability from them first. That warning at the time of their site that says it’s under constant development and not to use it as your primary picture store is a bit worrisome.

Unraid with 2 video cards

• Plex Container (primary video card)
• Plex VM (pass through secondary card handles DVR and backups and it’s also my steam remote provider)
• Home assistant VM (running it in a VM is nicer than a container because of HAOS)
• Jellyfin container
• All the video services pull from the same catalog. I use jellyfin frequently but secondarily, it is my backup in case Plex heads in a direction I don’t like. They’ve already shown some indications I’m not going to like them in the future.
• Deluge+VPN container
• Cloudflare container (first set up is actually a pain in the ass)
• Tailscale plugin
• SearxNG container self-hosted search engine tool
• Pi hole in a container
• Pi hole on a raspberry pi

Plex gets accessed remotely via its own remote capabilities

Jellyfin gets accessed remotely via tailscale

SearXNG is access remotely via cloudflare

I have a secondary Plex server sitting on a raspberry pi with the backup pi hole

I am preparing to set up a peertube. Haven’t had a lot of luck with the container on unraid. I run a fair amount of proxmox at work so I’ll probably just use proxmox for it.

I run a separate dedicated system completely for my cameras. Not running frigate yet but I’ll get around to it eventually using blue iris at the moment.

My unraid gets as much uptime as updates allow. I love being able to just jbod my media discs together and still have some protection with parity.

I find the containerized version of Plex to be more stable than my VM version but that’s probably my own fault as I’m oversubscribing the vm.

Yeah, it’s about barrier to entry. Any question will bypass dumb automation, even hard captcha is defeated by a Task Rabbit or Fiverr job to make 10 accounts and post some s#!t

Probably at some point in the future, the automation tools they’re using will support throwing in a GPT API token. But AI calls aren’t free so maybe we’ll squeak by.

There’s also the real possibility that if somebody is actually using AI the bot text will be good enough that nobody will know for certain it’s a bot.

Most likely you could just hit it from a proxy and say you are from the EU.

It’s one of the reasons I never deleted my account there every time my stuff pops back up I trounce it down again.

Speaking of which, I just checked and YEAH, not everything I ever posted is back, not even all the highest rated stuff, but a lot has come back and deleting more than a few at a time starts throwing errors :)

Not OP, but my ISP blocks those :)

The coolest and most frightening thing about all that is the number of books they train the models on are immense, but the model data is very tiny comparatively. And while the compression is amazingly lossy it still has an amazing amount of the data in there.

To nvidas credit, The training models do not contain the contents of the books, but they can still tell you intimate details about the books without it being able to provide a photographic reproduction of everything in the book.

We’ve literally created something that can analyze books in the same way that we read them and retain the same lossy levels of information. That’s honestly pretty f****** amazing.

Obviously intellectual property laws aren’t designed for this. Hell even our concept of intellectual property isn’t designed for this. If this was a corporation that hired a thousand people to read a bunch of books and be on tap for queries about the information in those books nobody would complain. One copy of each book purchased would be enough to cover the intellectual property restrictions for this.

Also obviously this isn’t what happened and people see money lying on the table.

There are maybe a dozen non nuts on Odyssey. They’re just drown out by the fascists.

Problem is:

Peertube doesn’t pay

You have to pay for the backup/storage of your videos.

PT will have massive scaling pains.

Yt spends a lot of that advertising money hosting non profitable videos for free.

hell it’s almost worth it just for the Suricata IDS/Blocking :)

Unifi gear is super great value-wise. Their support is lacking, but their equipment is pretty easy to deal with.

UCG is great and cheap.

UDM Pro is more flexible / future proof but also more expensive. (you get POE, and access to the rest of their suite, but that access also comes with some hardware lockin)

They don’t do custom DNS, so a couple of PIE holes or a DNS service are prudent.
