As someone who just tried to get a hotel near a concert, it won't work like that. The hotels know there is a show in town and price accordingly. When I tried, rooms that were typically $75-$150 per night were at $400-$1000 per night. I'm talking Hilton and Marriot all the way to econolodge and motel 6, all raised their prices by 5-10x. Anything I found that was decent was an advertisement for a general price. Then you try to reserve and they say "Oh you wanted it for THOSE nights? The price is $700 a night for those nights." Even though I clicked on $125 a night search results. This was 8 months before my stay, within a week of the concert being announced.

Ended up renting an RV for 4 days and parking it at a cheap rv place. Still cost over a grand after everything.

The rates you mention are... ridiculously foreign to me. I cannot even conceive only dropping half a grand and having somewhere to sleep for a whole week. Not saying it doesn't happen, but not near me for damn sure.

So raise the best ones from the dead, use em, then barium again. Not that hard.

I just realized, that bit about being an anarcho-syndicalist community with an elected officer who is in charge for a period is pretty much how government worked in the Shire if I remember correctly.

I never thought about this crossover, the Hobbits would dig the fuck out of a visit to Camelot

I heard he once had sex in the cab of a semi truck, and got some bodily fluids on the seat. That truck later became known as Optimus Prime.

You are correct. This is mentioned in the opening scene of Pulp Fiction by the way.

Both definitely worth finishing. Godspeed

My backlog is bigger than my front log by far

I was in band for 6 years including college and I still could not explain the rules of football to someone

Bold of the report to assume the species will even be around in 229 years

Wow, what a ride of a comment. Thank you, TheFartographer's Swampy Fun-Hole

Which film is this from? I like Chaplin, I just don't recognize it

Beard, ma'am? Finest in Jerusalem

They hear the word and they think of misandry, primarily because so many misandrists think they're feminists and very loudly proclaim so. The problem is, the more you try to convince them feminism isn't what they think, the more they tune you out because if you talk about feminism so much, you must hate men enough to dole out your own hatred as payback. Which is exactly the preconception you're trying to address.

Idk, maybe feminism just needs a good ol' rebranding. I think it would at least win over a lot of the under 50 crowd.

I don't mind suggestions at all, is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Is there Plex controversy? I just went with it because I had a buddy who used it years ago and I remember it being effective

This is baby's first Linux and also plex server, so I have no idea what that is. But I'll definitely look into that, it sounds really useful to be able to integrate the two

Yeah I want to do wired eventually, wifi is just a stopgap so I can phase out paid streaming asap without completely interrupting service for other people on my plans

I've heard VM's aren't ideal as well, so I'm trying to avoid it. If it ends up being needed though, this is good to know. Thanks!

Good to know I should avoid NVIDIA for Linux. The only NVIDIA card I have is on my gaming rig, so I don't plan on having to deal with that since I'm sticking with Windows on that until (hopefully) more studios start caring about Linux compatibility. Can't wait to cut that Microsoft umbilical cord permanently.

That said, do I need dedicated graphics on a Plex server? I was going to go integrated, but your comment made me realize I never checked hardware requirements. Which are probably on Plex's website. Which I am now going to go check because Lemmy isn't Google and it's not your responsibility to hand me answers I can easily find.

Nope, not gonna be that guy today. Thanks lol

Oh I meant bandwidth for the Plex part, not the install. Yeah for an OS requiring less than 3 gigs of storage, if bandwidth is an issue in installation Plex should be off the table
