Oh, I jumped to conclusions then, I assumed you were insinuating that that wasn’t the point of the post

You should maybe watch the video. I promise, it’s short

Too bad he’s bad at doing even that

Element 0 is the first element of the list

To Trump supporters, this sound like “The deep state doesn’t want Trump to be president”. Messaging like this reinforces their narratives

Before killing yourself, it’s your responsibility to kill your children

Something that i think is important to understand about this, and while Grey does mention it, its brief and towards the end, is that this framework isn’t unique to governments. These patterns show up in human organization at basically every level.

So I’m going to push back on the idea that

this is horrible and this system should be abolished

Depending on what “this system” means to you.

I think it’s much more useful to understand the incentives at play and build systems that minimize the damage consolidated power can do, and limit the ability for power to accumulate. That is… very much easier said than done, but I think it’s needed effort.

That’s right.

While the video is a good summary of the framing of the book (the selectorate theory of politics), I still recommend reading the book if you find the topic interesting. They go into a bunch of case studies on how you can apply the framing in wildly different circumstances, and make a very compelling case for how increasing the numbers of participants in a system improves the outcomes for everyone involved.

This video, and the book it’s based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to democratic socialist.

Which I think is funny, because I don’t think the authors, Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alistair Smith, are particularly leftist.

The keyboard is fine, nothing to write home about. The top plate is in 6 separate bits (on the 16 in anyway) and they’ve got a bit of play, it feels a bit awkward to me, but the trade offs are worth it to me.

Software/firmware has been surprisingly well thought out, including a very clear picture if you try to boot without all the pieces installed.

I’ve had one weird issue with the uefi boot, but that was due to using an old install media, I think.

Fair enough

My only real complaint is that “have an ai do it” isn’t a great suggestion though; an ai wil have the same bias as whoever developed it.

I bought a framework recently. Its not perfect, but I’ve been quite happy with it.

"You were messing around"

Don’t use jellyfin.server.local

.local is reserved for mdns, which doesn’t support more than one dot. (Though it may still sometimes work).

In any case, to make that work you need either a DNS server on your network or something like duckdns (which supports wildcard entries).

You might be able to get the same hash if you did a backup of the disk in iso format. It doesn’t matter though since you wouldn’t be able to use that format to play anything.

All that to say that these seem to be the wrong tools for what you’re actually trying to do.

If you’re keeping the files as mkv, you’re reencoding them.

Also, if you’re reencoding the files, it’s extremely unlikely for your hash to match someone else’s

So, an aspect

makes software for pirates

please avoid pirated versions

Good luck with that.
