Thank you for that

The more I learn about the concessions made to the southern slave owners I wish the founders hadn’t tried so hard to include them in the union. The north and the south were so different it seems like it would be as doomed to failure as jamming all the Balkan states into a single country.

Every time Texas threatens to secede and doesn’t I wish we had the choice to vote them out so they could see just how badly they are not the hot shit they think they are.

The problem with a simple majority is it allows large states to completely dominate less populated states.

We are a republic, kind of like how the UK is a union of (at least) four countries each with its own government. We are 50 states each with its own government and the constitutional right to make it’s own laws about matters not specifically delegated to the federal government (see the abortion rights debate).

The founding fathers established the electoral college as a compromise between electing the president in a vote by Congress and a popular vote. I would take an amendment to the constitution to get rid of it.

Sorry, I didn’t find the self hosting option when I looked at the site. I see it now. Thanks!

I looked for that on their site but missed it and found the pricing instead. Thanks! I’m definitely going to check that out

What part of that is self hosted?

Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it

Seven hours later…

🤣

That’s what unit tests are for

Woosh

Let the hate flow through you. Feel the power of the dark side!

Angel Heart. We discussed what happened in that movie for weeks while returning to the theater at least once more each, some three times

Hand jobs?

“the suspect is a six foot, white male”

Sounds fine to me

You state i5s can’t keep up with what you code. What do you code?

Base os is Ubuntu, Plex Media server is installed via apt from Plex repo, *arr services (lidarr, sonarr, radarr, bazaar, sabnzbd) all run on containers which I manage in a docker compose file. Media storage is an external, 4 bay SATA enclosure attached via USB. 4 six terrabyte disk drives in raid 6 on lvm/md, plus a 4tb SSD which is stand alone storage, formatted as btrfs.

With hardware support enabled it can live transcode four 1080p streams, which my old NUC (5th Gen i3) could also do. The GPU on the NUC could not handle 4k, so it would fall back to using the CPU which would not keep up with a live stream.

The N100 can transcode one 4k HDR with Atmos 7.1 audio and stream in real time. It was just a test, there was a bit of a stutter as it settled in, but I think that might be due to the drive enclosure being connected via USB, so it was storage bandwidth rather than CPU/GPU. The USB ports on the computer are 3.2 gen 2, but the enclosure is only 3.0 at 5Gb/s.

I upgraded my Plex and *arr server (i3 nuc) with a beelink 12i N100 based mini pc and could not be happier. $167 with 512gb nvme and 16gb RAM. It pulls 6W peak power

You misunderstood

Michael Jordan is a billionaire. Peter Jackson, McKenzie Scott, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg. Tiger Woods may be a bad husband, but that’s not how he made his money. Dolly Parton would be a billionaire if she hadn’t given away so much, she’s definitely earned a billion.
