The US grows a LOT of corn across most of the nation. HVDC links can transport a lot of power very efficiently over long distances. These systems are in use for this exact purpose in China, Canada, and Sweden where generation is far from the consumption site. It wouldn’t work across continents, but going from the Midwest to California or something wouldn’t be a problem.

Agrisolar exists. If the US converted just a few % of the acreage legally mandated for growing corn for ethanol to solar, the energy crisis essentially solves itself.

They already have started these layoffs. My cousin got hit yesterday.

Are you running gluetun on docker desktop for windows by chance?

If so, the networking layer for DD is fucked and every new release fucks it further and differently. Make sure you’re not running any other VPNs on the host, restart the docker daemon and pray. And then move off windows before it’s too late.

Source: made the mistake of starting an *arr stack on DD for Windows cause I didn’t wanna figure out GPU pass-through on VMs, and I suffered with this for a year.

Where is your postgres DB + data living?

Do you keep your pg on the same VM?

Gotta have 'em yourself. Canada needs to get our nukes back, even your closest allies are potential threats.

I’ve been selfhosting Synapse on Docker Compose for… maybe 1.5 years now? I’m also running bridges. I’ve never had to do monthly maintenance. I have around 20 users (my friends) active daily, a few federated rooms. I have message retention on and it “just worked” for me (not sure why OP had to do extra config)

I only find two of the critiques to be true in my experience:

1. Onboarding can be confusing for non-technical users. I use SSO so no registration, but the average person doesn’t know what an encryption key is, and they probably don’t want to either.
2. Synapse is written in python and as such isn’t super kind to memory/cpu. I’m doing fine on my cheap Hetzner box though.

Overall synpase for me has been very much “set it and forget it”. I can’t remember when I last did server maintenance.

claude performs acceptably at repetitive tasks when I have an existing pattern for it to follow. “Replicate PR 123, but to add support for object Bar instead of Foo”. If I get some of this busy work in my queue I typically just have claude do it while I’m in a meeting.

I’d never let it do refactors or design work, but as a code generation tool that can use existing code as a template, it’s useful. I wouldn’t pay an arm and a leg for it, but burning $2 while I’m in a meeting to kill chore tasks is worth it to me.

Neither do I - I use either my phone, or my smart TV, or my fire stick. SSO works fine there, or you can use the QR based session transfer to SSO on your phone and then “sign in on another device” or whatever by scanning the QR your other device is showing. I think they call it quick connect or something.

It does what you want.

And if you think Grandma can’t figure out scanning a QR code, Grandma is also not gonna figure out MFA lol.

You can run the OIDC version and use SSO and implement MFA on the IdP. I use Keycloak for SSO w/ MFA and users sign into my Jellyfin via Keycloak. Just disable username/password auth and leave it SSO only.

The only benefit Plex really has is the relaying, but I was able to sync watch with 3 people basically as far across North America as you can get from me and it worked without issue so…

The Americans can have a little misogyny, as a treat

Of course it is, LLMs are inherently regurgitation machines - train on biased data, make biased predictions.

Yeah it’s called “passing a law” but people only focus on the executive branch and forget to vote for midterms and shit.

Executive orders in their current capacity are a bastardization of our intended government.

I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.

You can export images to tarballs and import them to your local docker daemon if you want.

Not sure how podman manages local images.

Idea:

1. Setup inotifywait on your sources directory and rsync to keep directories in sync, and on change, build and run latest image
2. Setup inotifywait on your image tarball directory/file and on change import and run latest
3. Mount your source directory to a docker server image that supports hot reloading.

Per the email text and Plex’s policy, they are correct - only Server Owners need the Pass.

That said I moved to Jellyfin months ago when they announced it.

Am I missing something here??? You just restated my original point to me as though we’re disagreeing with each other.

What? The guy I replied to said “oh where are the products on market, I guess oppressing women is too important”. That was literally the point of my comment was how absurdist of a take that was for the same reason you just said.

One company failed to bring an announced product to market, must be discrimination! The lack of results is proof that they’re not trying to solve the problem! Investors are committing capital in 3 different companies to fake interest in the idea in order to continue to oppress women!

Neglect of research into women’s healthcare is real, we don’t need to invent bogeymen where there isn’t one.
