Might want to take another look at Jellyfin. My experience has been that as long as the video file s are at least somewhat reasonably named and organized, Jellyfin has no problems identifying a file and looking up its metadata.

I don’t want to see a single server grow to the size of Reddit. I wouldn’t mind the network as a whole growing to that size, though.

I suspect that if the lemmy side of the fediverse did grow to the size of Reddit we would probably see a lot more fragmentation than we currently have.There’d be upsides and downsides to that.

Matrix would probably be one of the better options, but xmpp is a pretty good choice as well.

KDE default, so it opens the start menu, or launcher. Whichever you want to call it.

If I had to guess, never having used it myself, is that it has a decent UI that simplifies sometimes complicated operations and it has been around seemingly forever.

EVs seem to be exclusively trucks and SUVs in the US, which is incredibly annoying because that drives up the prices

Lol! I’ve been cursing the exact opposite for the last couple of years! Seemed like all anyone wanted to sell were high priced, luxury EV sedans. It wasn’t till recently that I started to see EV and hybrid pickups.

90% of people that own them just use them to commute back and forth to an office and don’t need them either

No kidding. Around where I’m at, we call them beauty queen pickups. And are usually poking fun at their owners.

They’ve made our streets into an arms race of size and weight which contribute to major safety issues as well as all the other issues that come with excessive oil consumption like environmental issues, dependency on foreign countries, war, etc.

That was actually a result of the CAFE standards. Basically killed the light truck market over night. I remember back in 2007ish when the standards were changed and the new models started showing up on the streets, going “Fuck, that’s huge!”. Actually confused them at first for medium duty pickups (Think F250 or F350). Before then, the most common vehicles around me were, if I remember correctly, the F150 in work trim (which was about half the size it is now), the Ford Ranger (usually the 2 door extended cab vesion), and Honda Civics. Time may be playing tricks on me as to what was common at the time, but all of them were smaller.

Slightly shorter, but taller than a Nissan Altima based on specs.

If I may ask, why the hate against pickups?

That’s basically what I’ve been doing ever since my old F-150 decided to start chunking spark plugs through the hood. Been driving a Nissan Altima since. It’s fuel efficient and does the job 80% of the time, but damn, is it a pain in the ass when a random project pops up unexpectedly. It’s been a damned rare month when I haven’t needed to rent either a trailer or a truck (or both) to get something done.

Basically I miss having a truck bed. Can’t say I miss the fuel bill though.

Considering what I want is a 1990’s Ford Ranger or Mazda S-10, and the closest I can get, here in the US, is the overpriced Ford Maverick…

I’m just worried about how much the larger battery pack is going to cost, because I know the price they are claiming is with the smaller pack.

I don’t need something the size, capability, or price of the current F-150 very often, just need a cheap truck that can haul a few 2x4s or sheets of plywood. That hasn’t been available on the market for a long time.

Depends on the application. My NAS is bare metal. That box does exactly one thing and one thing only, and it’s something that is trivial to setup and maintain.

Nextcloud is running in docker (AIO image) on bare metal (Proxmox OS) to balance performance with ease of maintenance. Backups go to the NAS.

Everything else is running on in a VM which makes backups and restores simpler for me.

Hmm. Where’d I put the popcorn?

First I’ve heard of that one. Nice. Looks like the same setup that Github Pages uses too, so should be easy to transfer the site if needed.

You have more control, beyond that… It’s not. Better to fully self host it, but not everyone has the capability or interest in developing the capability to do that.

Linktree is just a static site with a list of links. You could do the exact same thing using Hugo as a site builder and GitHub Pages for free hosting. All it would cost you is a custom domain name if you wanted one. Not sure activitypub brings anything useful to the table here.

I use Forgejo for my private git repos but in all honesty, it’s massive overkill for my needs.

Not in the US.

Nice truck, but damn that’s an expensive pickup.

I have 6 domain renewal notices sitting in my Spam folder now.

Another recent one has been notices supposedly from my email provider saying it’s time to renew. That one almost got me.

I really wish GPG signing of emails had actually taken off. Would have solved this type of problem completely.

Looks nice. Shame I can’t get it in the US.

Isn’t that basically SyncThing? I thought it was BitTorrent under the hood.
