This seems a little begging the question.

Even if it wasn't, it's a little damning to liberals who now seem to only like a candidate if they think they are "charismatic", which seems suspiciously ill-defined.

No thank you.

Libs have never met a white male moderate they wouldn't vote for over any woman of color or socialist.

Oh fuck. They're gonna force Newsom for 2028 aren't they.

Europeans need to be reflecting on what kind of leadership they want to replace the US now that they've started stepping out.

For all the chaos they're causing, especially in regards to this conflict, it's not a bad thing that the US is losing geopolitical relevance. I just wish I had any confidence that something better would come from it.

Now is really the time for people to be organizing.

"DA says"

A little misleading without the quotation marks

IIRC Borderlands 3 scales the value of loot to the game's difficulty setting, with some mechanics aimed at encouraging players to join online coops at high difficulties in order to earn more valuable loot. I imagine cheats undermine that intent, and I also imagine borderlands 4 might be aiming at a pay to play scheme.

I'm guessing this EULA is being used for all their IP with the intent of taking advantage of it in the future.

Jews and Muslims have had many extensive periods of peace living together (including in Palestine before the state of Israel). The story of Islamic-Jewish hostilities is actually fairly recent and shorter than you'd expect.

Antisemitism as we know it today is mostly a European export to the Middle East.

Idk man. If, just as an example, Biden "shot someone in the middle of 5th avenue", i think it would be hubris to expect him not to lose any voters

You can call that 'purity testing' if you want, but I'd say that the expectation for it to have no effect is just wishful thinking.

Does it matter how morally bankrupt the 20% is?

Asking before I pose any analogies you might think is unfair

It's mostly that second part.

Even when democrats say they support change for the middle class, they feel like nothing meaningful gets passed because democrats don't actually represent them. Gaza is a part of this: those who see the obvious genocide happening are incredulous that their party won't do anything about it.

People have lost faith in liberalism, and I think its for good reason.

Yea, I don't disagree, and I don't actually fault anyone for using plex for it's simplicity of remote configuration.

I do think a lot of people overlook simple workarounds to doing straight reverse proxies. I've used a VPN to access my remote services without issue for a long time. Granted, that's still a prerequisite skill a lot of people don't have, but I think a lot of people already inside the self-host space already have that knowledge. And frankly, self-hosting as a concept stems from this idea that with a little bit of effort, we can free ourselves from corporately owned SAAS companies - it shouldn't be so divisive to be advocating for self-sufficiency.

There's absolutely a place for plex. It's a lot of people's first foray into selfhosting. But I think people miss the opportunity to learn a new skill when they decide they're willing to put up with abuse instead of taking the hint that it's time to migrate.

Yea, they were extremely vague about what the nature of their problem was, but they mentioned it was running on the same media library as their plex install. They insisted that it was because jellyfin was poorly designed and definitely not user error. Could have been a bunch of things, but it was almost certainly a config error. They said the server 'locked up' and all the other services became unresponsive any time jellyfin was scanning. They also did not like the way jf wrote metadata files to the media library volume. It was among their other complaints, such as 'i didn't like that you could reskin it' and 'it was too complicated to use for managing my book collection'.

sounded like a usergroup mapping issue to me but hard to say for sure. They said they weren't interested in troubleshooting it so, whatareyagonnado? They seem really invested in not liking it though.

There are a lot of people here who simply cannot be bothered to figure out remote access

A weird one i saw today was actually "jellyfin took too many resources scanning my library" and 'if it doesn't have an SSO my family won't use it'

I think a lot of people just enjoy plex better and will accept any minor inconvenience as justification. That's fine though. I'll swear up and down that apple products are not worth the convenience, either, but there will always be people who simply like them more than others, and thats fine

I think most of the people complaining about jellyfin being difficult either haven't tried it for at least a year or are trying to use it alongside their plex service without knowing how to configure them properly.

Which is fair, I just didn't realize how many people were using plex that didn't have an interest in learning remote service deployment.

I'm actually fascinated/frightened by the number of people here who are apparently comfortable running an exposed remote service on their personal network without enough tech knowledge to manage user auth themselves or maintain a stack with shared volumes....

I actually think most of them do, it's just that the simple designs aren't universal enough to gain much traction in a FOSS community.

Ok but there are a million SSO options out there - just because someone doesn't want to allow google as a SSO provider doesn't mean they're telling anyone they have to switch fucking email services.

If you want a remote service to handle your authentication you don't have to use google. I feel like that's something I shouldn't have to point out in a self-hosting community on an open-source and federated social media platform.

Lmao wow that's so punk

If we limited our speech to what was legally permissible we wouldn't need opsec to begin with, genius.

"The safest way to use dissenting speech is to not" lol

And if you do such a bad job that it is easy to guess your sockpuppet accounts then that is really a failure in opsec on your side

Wouldn't be opsec at all if I kept more than one account active at a time or expressed the same views and opinions. You'd probably not have a risk of german prosecution if you and your moderators made use of a similar practice - which is why it's funny that you gave yourself that attribute
