Q The Misanthrope

If they haven’t switched yet, they aren’t going to now. Unfortunately the reality.

Former /r/all user here who had zero subreddit subscriptions for over ten years. Left after the api thing.

Agreed and his personality takes over the story which works for men in black but I don’t think it would for the matrix.

Basically the same character in all those movies. Not a criticism but it’s the same dude. Neo is not a bad ass running down a cephalopod. He’s learning and adapting to a system and using his mind. I just dont see it working out as well as he is a front man, not a team. He takes over the story with personality.

That has some really insightful advice and even something I hadn’t considered. They mentioned that with enough users, even bugs become features that are used. People rely on the way a system works, whether it was intentional or not and maintenance could mean disruption.

I am not a dev but I am in IT and think quite a few of these ideas could be applied outside of code.

Or Microsoft who randomly needs to verify someone’s identity before they can log into.tgeir computer but the user doesn’t have a smart phone. So they need to call someone trusted to have them log into their email from a different computer just to get the code so the user can log into their computer.

But that also means they didn’t have access to any saved passwords so a notebook helps.

I really should put Linux on her machine but then I have to show her how to do that too. It’s a lose-lose so I keep it the same.

I miss local accounts.

I’m disagreeing, it’s one of the most complete shows out there was a complete wrap up and great finale. Lots of closure.

I’m rewatching it now and my only complaint is the character Jason, the “dumb” guy can be a lot of handle.

Holy fork, something that is great except one thing that particularly annoys me?..maybe I’m in the bad place…

Edit. I did not down vote you even though I didn’t agree.

The show was okay but that intro … Felt like half the show run time was the introduction animation. I didn’t know why it bugged me but the music was obnoxious and it just seemed to go on and on.

The show had good stuff but there were too many characters for a 20 minute show. Especially when their things are communal decisions and working as a team with no side characters. Why was the poly relationship even written, it had no part of the plot or character arc or story arcs. No purpose so it just took minutes away from the story.

One of us, one of us…

I kind of am, but radarr has an editions field which it uses for the file and that seems to be incomplete or inconsistent for my files. It wasn’t a problem before but changing so many at once requires good data first.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve used Plex for so long with manual file name and folder changes so it covered up my issue and now I’m correcting it.

I still have to update the jellyfin title manually though. Jellyfins versions only work with multiple versions of the same file, not if you only have one version in the library that I want labeled as a special edition or something.

I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

Do what works for you and them.

Congrats. I’m super particular about covers and naming and the conversion of file names that Plex needed to jellyfin is intensive.

I finally got got JF up and running but still working on adding edition names to each item that is special. I really wish there was an editions field so it wasn’t a manual title update. At least I can lock the field afterwards.

The onn boxes run android so it’s just installed as an app from play store. The users connect with their own tailscale account. My server is shared so they see it. Then they install jellyfin on the device, punch in the hostname of the server given by tailscale and the port and then it connects.

I could not get my reverse proxy to let them use my local domain… I’m not smart enough and couldn’t figure it out but they are only using jellyfin so typing one address was fine.

This is also what I do, however, each user creates their own tailnet, not an account on mine and I share the server to them.

This way I keep my 3 free users for me, and other people still get to see jellyfin.

Tailscale and jellyfin in docker, add server to tailnet and share it out to your users emails. They have to install tailscale client in a device, login, then connect to your jellyfin. My users use Walmart Onn $30 streaming boxes. They work great.

I struggled for a few weeks to get it all working, there’s a million people saying “I use this” but never “this is how to do it”. YouTube is useless because it’s filled with “jellyfin vs Plex SHOWDOWN DEATH FIGHT DE GOOGLE UR TOILET”.

Why a possum and not a raccoon? I like the meme but I think that’s the wrong animal for it.

I have been off reddit since the api thing so I’m way out of touch with the current content and status.

It just seems odd all these posts about Reddit dying and it makes me think of the people that loved reddit aren’t all here on Lemmy, so did they quit all of it or went somewhere else?

No one I know in person switched away, technical or not, they still use reddit. The whole situation is just not adding up.

So where is everyone going because it’s not Lemmy. And Reddit still is huge. I don’t understand the “it’s so bad, everyone is getting banned” but also the site keeps growing.

I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don’t want to open a port directly to my server. I don’t understand how everyone else figures this out and I’m apparently an idiot.

Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.

I don’t understand and I have looked it up but I don’t see a consensus.

I don’t have experience with any readers until recently. Did some research and went with. Kobo colour. It has met expectations and I’m using it with no issue.

I wanted physical buttons.

I didn’t want an Amazon device.

The year is 2034 and 96% of the population is unemployed because they are all forced to “do their own research” on literally everything and there’s no time to work. We all must research every niche topic to fully understand it before using it or the other 4% calls us stupid and lazy.

No longer are we allowed to just buy a shower head, or bike or sign up for email without sources cited and proof we know everything about said thing.

Have kids? Do their research too, no chocolate milk unless I’ve proven why it’s good.

Elderly parents? Don’t let them touch that Roku remote. I need a research paper on all the options I explored.

Sorry for all the sarcasm. I fix my house, I work, I mow the lawn and shuttle children to sports, and my friend says check this bluesky thing out, 30 seconds and I’m signed up and have a friend and a discover tab and a search that works. Life’s chaotic and I don’t want to be defined as stupid because I can’t spend hours figuring something out in place of something I think is more important.

All this not directed at you specifically but I guess it hit a nerve.

You’ve stated this at least twice in this thread. People aren’t like that, just in general. Heck, I understood it and still had trouble picking a server for Lemmy and mastadon.

Do I want a single topic or domain to define me? Will a small server have popular posts? Will it have popular people? I can’t find this popular account because I’m typing in username instead of user+domain.

I created and deleted at least 5 before I gave up and just picked one. Is that what most people would do?

I don’t think you’re wrong, but I think you are not putting yourself in the shoes of most users who want to follow a celebrity or a train station or space agency and can’t even find their account.
