Jellystat isn’t bad for a Taut alternative

You know, there’s probably a market for a hardware solution to do that. Wrap it up in a nice user interface, Family VPN bridge, expose JF servers.

just syncthing it :)

I just wish they’d fucking take their security seriously and we could wipe plex out.

You do then still have to expose JF to the open internet. That’s not without risk. Neither is Plex but they do make it a point to secure all their endpoints before login.

Repectfully, I think you’re wrong.

Making an account and giving it to uncle fred with a website address is a LOT easier than telling him to install an app on his phone/computer, inviting him via email, then trying to explain to him how to turn it on and off and telling him not to mess with the settings and route all his traffic through my home network.

That is still one spot where plex holds an edge.

The next time there’s a zero day in one of their packages you get pwned because their login doesn’t protect their ‘internal’ endpoints.

Keep that thing wrapped up or you will eventually regret it.

Honestly for video I agree, for audio, it’s just me and only in my house or phone so tailscale is fine. If my friends really want audio, they can pay streaming for it.

Yup, I only keep 4k of stuff that was really shot/scanned in 4k and absolutely worth it. 90% of the 4k content out there is 1080p upscaled anyway.

75TB

JF is damn good for video and has a better interface than plex

Finamp is horrible for big collections. As you ask JF for tracks or artists it loads them a handful at a time. I have 2300 artists 26,000+ tracks, if I want to listen to some NiN, trying to scroll through to N’s is maddening.

Finamp just crashes on me now and then. Play -> shuffle… wtf knows, might go 10m might go 2. Samsung Phone with 6GB of ram.

Finamp is rooted to JF features only, eg: it is incapable of cross fading because it has no ability to tell JF the songs were last played easily. If you want to set up a really large playlist, it’s one at a time, but you can put an m3u in the folder. but once you do that, your playlist is no longer editable through the GUI.

I moved over to Symfonium. It loaded my playlists, let’s me crossfade, everything seems ok, until i add new music or modify a playlist and it has to scrape the entirety of my collection to add a song. It can take hours.

I’m big on my playlists. I have exported years of jackfm and 98 rock to recreate real playlists from different eras.

JF audio is just absolutely stuck in the stoneage and any attempt for clients to work arond it and dig them out still have to deal with their slower than fuck database and api.

Maybe some form of engagement or time limit would serve. If the post is empty or low engagement and less than 2 days old, it can go. After that it’s up to mod?

I’m not against it, post something it the wrong place, or during a bender. Would be kinda cool if lemmy tracked user starts on deletes like it does on posts and comments

can’t we just have lids with tear away drink holes like coffee?

Yeah, a lot of the places around me are putting up these massive structures. I don’t know why they don’t just install open sided polebarns

If you choose the right crops or use grazing pastures in warmer climates, it’s not bad either.

I agree with you in that a lot of his arguments are inconveniences rather than blockers. but there are still a lot of problems with the design when we could easily not put them right exactly there and end up with a better outcome.

Dust --> attach a brush in front of the train

Dust + water isn’t going to just brush off, they’ll need to send purpose build devices to wash them and it’s not going to work well at speed.

Im not sure we use the machine that he showed in the video to replace the gravel. At the same time it looks like the tracks stay untouched. Its not something that is done often.

Rebalasting track has to happen based on environment. Some areas will need it often, the rocks beneath the ties end up getting pushed deeper and need to be back-filled

In the comments they talk about the toilet releasing the waste on the tracks. In Switzerlands trains theres WC’s (water closets). So the sun will evaporate the waste. Also we dont want to eat from the panels its just to generate electricity.

Waste has a lot of mineral content and the bioplaques are incredubly durable and not see through.

He talks about huge shipments of coal in Switzerland xd WHAT THE HELLY ??!!(the 1800s called, they want their environmental policy back)

Coal is less prevalant, but even at that, yhere is noting clean about rail lines. Brakes, metal on metal wheels. def need to wash the panels and probably agitate to get dirt off that close to the suspension. It’s solvable. but putting them on racks a few feet away from the track would be less of a mess, not cost all that much and make maintenance and diagnostics easier.

All in all, putting them along rail lines is a reasonable idea, but there’s no real need to cause all these difficulties if they just put them up on slightly elevated structures to one side of the track. The cost for galvanized pipes is barely a rounding error on the whole project.

steal them

train damages them

they get dirty

Wildlife infestation

It makes more sense to put them up out of the way angled toward the sun

just set up bleacher style farms along train routes

missed opportunity to post https://xkcd.com/-1/

that’s a lot of rule 3
