And frankly, even if he's not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn't trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.

It's raid rebuild times.

The bigger the drive, the longer the time.

The longer the time, the more likely the rebuild will fail.

That said, modern raid is much more robust against this kind of fault, but still: if you have one parity drive, one dead drive, and a raid rebuild, if you lose another drive you're fucked.

Huh. I've been part of a couple dozen ones and I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of dollars. I THINK the biggest settlement was $22 or $23 or something like that.

Nice to know that, in theory at least, you could recover what was wrongfully taken from you.

Gonna disagree here.

Humans have always had "social media", but it's not been directed by a cadre of oligarchs until recently.

I mean shit, humans have been sitting around the campfire telling stories to each other going all the fucking way back to forever. Sure, a campfire story isn't a tweet, but for our monkey brains it's essentially the same thing: how we interact with our social groups and learn what's going on around us.

The problem is that the campfire stories couldn't be manipulated into making your cavemen neighbors hate the other half, because half of them were totally pro rabbit fur while you're pro squirrel fur.

You absolutely can do that and worse now, so while we've always had social media, we just simply never had anyone with enough control to make an entire society eat each other because of it's influence.

Has there ever been a class action settlement that actually made all the people who were harmed whole?

Because somehow I doubt it.

I'm sure it'll be free from Epic Games in like 4 or 5 years like every other game I've been playing recently, so meh.

Bleed them impatient whales, I guess?

Everyone is focusing on Musk but uh, Global Foundries wants to be involved in buying Intel?

The same Global Foundries that's utterly incapable of progressing their tech stack?

The one AMD created when they got rid of their foundries and was happy to do so?

That amuses the shit out of me.

You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.

Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?

To self-host, you do not need to know how to code.

I agree but also say that learning enough to be able to write simple bash scripts is maybe required.

There's always going to be stuff you want to automate and knowing enough bash to bang out a script that does what you want that you can drop into cron or systemd timers is probably a useful time investment.

No.

I pirate everything, but am very very reluctant to do so with software or games.

I only pirate in cases where the company involved is just too gross to support (looking at you, Adobe), or if there's absolutely no other option.

But I consider pirated software and games absolutely suspect 100% of the time, because I'm old enough to remember when every keygen was also a keylogger, and every crack was also a rootkit and touching any pirated software was going to give you computer herpes without fail.

So maybe it's not that bad anymore, but I mean, do you fully trust in the morals of someone who would spend the time helping you steal someone else's shit to not add just one more little thing to it for themselves?

loops, whatever the hell that is

FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.

I don't disagree, but if it's a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that's still Jellyfin doing something weird.

No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn't doing it on exactly the same files.

 

Just got an email thanking me for being a 5-node/free user, but Portainer isn't free and I need to stop being a cheap-ass and pay them because blah blah economic times enshittification blah blah blah.

I've moved off them a while ago, but figured I'd see if they emailed EVERYONE about this?

A good time to ditch them if you haven't, I suppose.
