God I'm getting sick of the repetitive posts saying the same thing. I'm a human being. I run an instance. I am personally liable for whatever crap my users post. Damn right I'm not going to allow Tor or vpns, and my instance will absolutely take down something if it could land me in trouble. I'm not going to have the feds bust down my door because someone wants to make a bonkers statement.

That's the joy of federation. Anyone can go and spin up their own instance. There are cloud providers that have a single click option to set one up for you. Go forth OP, be the privacy focused VPN tor instance. You take the personal responsibility on yourself and then come back here and post about it.

The problem exists of how do you get files to the server. Again for a big video file you need a place to have the original accessible for the entire duration of the transcode, and you need a drop point to place the file when it's done. And if you're doing that, more than likely you have something like Plex or jellyfin, so why not just hook it up to your existing file locations?

I run jobs all the time from my cluster, but the issue always comes back to persistent storage. Where are the files you need to act on, and where should the finished results be placed? You're trying to skip those important steps here.

I'll ask the question why do you want something hosted, if you don't want the files to be on the server too, or at least accessible via a mount. There's a couple projects who do that for a reason, you can't just upload an 80gb video file through a web interface simply. For home use it makes more sense for it to be connected to some sort of nas and you point it to the file on the nas, and then point where on the nas you want the output file.

As written, I don't think you'll find a lot. I think what may serve you better is finding a server solution that watches a directory and then runs transcodes based on pre defined templates, and spits them back out in a known location.

Holy yikes batman. That's a lot of trust and open ports right there to the public internet. Not to mention running a tor node is incredibly risky for the hoster personally. Individually these projects are good, in one bundle I'm heckin suspicious.

Edit: it's just a relay node at least, but still, this is targeting inexperienced people to run a bunch of containers, and I don't think the risk is fully explained there.

No, they were only in talks. MS does not currently own discord.

People are trusting Discord way way way too much

I remember reading something from a sound editor for movies and TV. Essentially no director wants to halt production and re-do a scene because the audio is bad. It's pretty hard to redo a scene if the camera didn't get a good shot, it's even harder if the camera was good but the audio was off. Most directors will just say "Just fix it in post".

But, there aren't really enhancements for audio. A bad segment of audio is always bad. You can't just amplify the hell out of it and have it sound good. So the lower the budget the movie, the more costly it is to redo a shot, and the more likely they'll tell the sound guys that they'll have to deal with it.

It only takes one person to share to one site and have it reshared, up voted, liked, for it to take off

What about gestures everywhere suggests that I should ever fully trust a company?

I'm suspicious, but overall more relaxed. Only wish other companies would be a gracious

Math class taught me to be precise I should always say "1 and 32 hundredths Megabytes"

Which is not federated, otherwise I would recommend it immediately

Any that you're willing to start up? I'm always looking for new communities to join!

Ro Laren was always 🔥🔥. I'm always in a catch 22 on if she did decide to join DS9 after all and we would have gotten 7 seasons of her, but then no Nana Visitor... So....

I saw a "veteran" crying in a wheelchair with 13 fingers and the comments were just elderly people saying amen. They have no idea that AI even exists as a context

What am I going to do, buy my own backpack and lug their laptop back and forth in that? I'll gladly take a free backpack

Dignity

Eh, even with that she should still understand consequences. I'd give her long time outs. Next time she does say that you are offended, and need time away. Start with a couple of days. When she does it again make it a week no contract. Make sure she knows its because she was mean and you don't want to be around mean people. Hold firm during that time.

I don't like just saying one and done, give them a chance to change their ways. Even with autism that is informing them that they were offensive, and that there are consequences to that. It's their cross to bear, and I think that's being very generous in helping them learn that.

Driving should be a very compassionate activity, but us monkey brains use our most selfish tendencies when doing it. I just take the bus now.

Yes. Driving is about predictability. Anything you can to let other drivers predict what you will do is helpful, even if it feels redundant.
