It’s been a long incestuous line of automotive crap. This is something new that has chance (albeit small) to be simple and durable.

I’m pretty stoked that the AC on the slate is manual. I just hope it’s not a POS :)

Why isn’t door handles on the list?

Computers have been a mixed bag

Entertainment is better.
Education is far better. (you can learn about anything you want right now for free)
Racism was on a slow decline. (communication, education)

The economy is far worse The job situation is worse.
I’d say cars are better, being more efficient, but the SUV loophole fucked that.

SYAC

Accelerating global warming itself
Earth’s growing energy imbalance
Faster sea-level rise
More extreme weather records
Potential weakening of the Atlantic Ocean circulation system

He just figured out the rubber ducky method for problem-solving.

I think that’s largely due to the lack of variety in our clientele.

It seems to be hard to get anyone from the non-geek community over here. My wife isn’t interested at all if it doesn’t have an algorithm. She wants the tech to spoon-feed her things she’ll like instead of finding communities. Threads, Bluesky, Tiktok, Instagram just have all the people because it’s what the masses crave.

I mean reddit is doing their best to send them our way!

Sounds like we need to get to cloning.

The whole thing needs legal, insurance and escrow. Nobody in their right mind would want to host it for free if it actually handled the money. Could go anonymous and crypto but really that’s just asking for it.

Hooking up buyers and sellers and having them sort out prices, taxes and shipping would prob be the only viable way.

At some point, someone is going to do enough business to get a good rep and make a large sale and screw someone out of money.

Monetization broker for a video service. Let’s give Youtube a run for the money.

Hosted gaming system, card games, board games, tabletop simulator style. Maybe Minecraft java, built around self hostable servers.

E2E Encryption Communication, maybe a tightly integrated reticulum host.

Dedicated news system focused on free journalism (hard with AI and propaganda I know)

Shore up Pixelfed and Loops or Competition for them.

Some form of integrated system that ties all this stuff together, like a dashboard with all your different things. Maybe something like the homeassistant dashboard but for all your fedi services.

try adding

client_body_buffer_size 0; above proxy_request_buffering off;

Make sure you’re not running out of ram or disk space.

All I wanted to see is what activity over time was going on with my server and who was doing it. For that, it was clutch. YMMV

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.
