A self-hosted VPN is the most secure free way to host your Jellyfin. I’ve had to learn the hard way over the years, but all the features and control you gain for hosting services yourself comes with all the same responsibilities and risk that the provider would be taking on for you.
The money you spend on their service is the alternative to the many hours it takes to learn how to properly host your own server.
You can definitely learn how to do it and it will be difficult and confusing at times, but that’s what the community is there for. I recommend joining a Matrix server or similar so you can get more real-time feedback for when you’re just getting started.
Totally understand not wanting to take the risk, though. Just something worth considering.
I remember this was the first game I saw on TV that was laughably bad. Pretty sure it was the Xplay episode where they showed it off: https://youtu.be/jG3QLH3DnIo
It’s admittedly not a “fun” movie. It’s a really sad story in the end and most of the movie, the characters are uncomfortable in their situation.
I think it touches on some real questions we’re going to have to ask ourselves in the coming years about how much we’re going to allow AI into our personal lives.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, it forgets most of it, it’s worth seeing. Just don’t expect iRobot or Black Mirror.
Taoism is a practice that doesn’t rely on or reject a higher power. It gives meaning to day to day life and the writers I’ve read who practice it have a very practical view on the world.
As for religion, I fall into agnosticism. I certainly don’t have any hard evidence that there is a higher power, but at the same time, with how insanely complex, terrifying, beautiful, loving, and hurtful the world can feel, I can’t help but feel that there’s something beyond what’s in front of us at play. It may not be a theist’s idea of God, but something else entirely.
I’ve gotten to see it in person and it’s a real accomplishment. A large part of the frame was made from scratch and a few components were donated by Lamborghini themselves. The dude’s really chill.
The best part about that dumb fucking font? It’s like one of the absolute defaults you choose if you just like, need something embroidered. They likely chose it because they wouldn’t have to pay an artist for the design. Just: “Get me 10,000,000 of your cheapest hats and put my dumb fucking slogan as big as it will fit across the front.”
I certainly don’t blame them for these pitfalls I don’t think it’s laziness. It’s 100% a lack of education. Teachers have all but given up trying to get kids to pay attention in class. It’s become a snowball effect.
When I was in school, most of my classmates took it seriously and took much of the education at face value. And almost all of my classmates are people that could handle the full Office suite.
Now it seems every kid thinks they already know computers because they started with an iPad at the age of 4, but what they don’t realize is phones and tablets are the equivalent to toys.
You don’t ever actually learn how to use a phone. Just individual apps. People don’t even really browse the internet blindly anymore.
I think it’s probably the difference that a lot of boomers probably saw with cars in the 2000s-2010s. It used to be everyone had a rough idea of how a car worked and most people could learn in a year or two how to do basic stuff.
Now it’s all a closed magic box requiring a full technical degree. Phones fell the same. Its a magic box that they never had the opportunity to wonder how it worked.
I’d imagine any company open-sourcing their code has to go through a pretty decent amount of re-written routines. Nvidia has been open-sourcing their drivers, but it’s been taking forever. I can only imagine how complex commenting GPU firmware must be.
This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all month. Just when you think the world is running out of interesting ideas, you come across something like this and realize you will never see it all.
Yeah, I am exaggerating a bit, but I’ve not met anyone under the age of 25 that’s even remotely interested in putting in the effort to learn (anecdotal, I’m aware). Many have expressed wanting to learn, but then they never follow up when I try and pursue teaching anything.
And I’m not necessarily saying that the average person already understands them, but someone from our generation will probably pick them up far more quickly then your average Gen Z/Gen A.
