Stood up some podman services. Using cloud init to provision the VMs, and podman quadlets to translate docker compose into systemd files. Really solid, just need to make them rootless now.

Also looking at a tailscale deployment for zero trust. The feature set is a lot wider than I thought.

Ohh yeah, it’s very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.

Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.

Hmm, not using finamp. I’m pretty happy with Synfonuim.

Cant speak to that aspect.

Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex’s.

The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

Can’t speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.

Nah, it clearly appeals to a subset of voters in some democracies, and those voters apparently turn out.

Its a threat to woman that if they don’t get married young and have babies, the government will hurt them.

That it. Do what we say or else. The standard conservative line with women.

With trumps win, expect more of this. Being a complete piece of shit clearly works, so this will only escalate. Getting attention, even by being a vile misogynist, is a winning move now.

Nope, not how our system works. A federal ban would override state law.

The situation would at best mimic legal weed. The feds can 100% legally raid weed stores right now in the majority of states, but doing so is seen as pointless and would be politically unpopular.

The difference between weed stores and abortion clinics is that while both weed and abortion are popular, abortion is easier to villify and attack. They also don’t make anywhere near as much money as weed and require doctors to operate, so you have a much higher risk and much lower reward to fight the federal law on a local level.

He forgave 170 billion dollars, the largest amount by far any president has ever forgiven. It’s not even close.

He also tried to forgive 400billion, but the conservative supreme court Trump appointed the first time shot it down.

He still tried several other avenues, all that have been stopped by federal Trump appointed judges, and will clearly end now.

With manchin and semina voting no on pretty much every bill in 2020, and a divided congress in 2022, what the fuck else was he supposed to do?

This is nonsense.

FPTP voting means there are 2 viable options only. If you don’t vote for the “lesser evil,” you are voting for the “greater evil.”

Choosing to not make a choice is still a choice. Voting for “not Harris” is the exact same thing as voting for “yes Trump” in our system.

You’re voting for the greater evil by voting for Jill Stein, which is exactly what her and her partners Putin and Trump want.

Coordinating directly with Putin, the oligarch dictator of Russia, who is currently engaged in a genocide in Ukraine, to elect Trump, a US presidential candidate that has told Israel it “needs to finish the job,” a person whose son in law has said gaza is “excellent beach front property,” and who hid the number of drone strikes and their casualties caused during his admin, is the lesser evil?

I’d call the above stupid, not its far to disingenuous to be an actual real perspective.

Well, start here at a dinner she attended in Moscow in late 2015:

Years later, after Trump was elected, she claimed it was just perfunctory, with no real interaction with Putin. She also claims she received no payment for being there, although we know Flynn received 45k from Putin for his attendance.

Then there is this from 2016 about Russian efforts to divert Clinton voters to stein. She also received intense press coverage by RT, Russians propaganda TV station, that was not banned in the US at the time.

Here she is refusing to call Putin a war criminal, a stance she suddenly recanted days later.

Here is evidence she is currently working with the GOP.

Election odds? You mean the betting markets where 4 users dumped 30 million dollars on Trump coincidentally when Elon Musk started campaigning for him Pennsylvania? The odds that had her leading by 5 points that those 30 mil shifted to losing by 15?

Or are you talking about the polling, which has been an absolute shiteshow for 10 years because no one picks up their phones for random numbers anymore?

Sure. It was a single stall shower room, beautifully tiled in black and enclosed with a full glass door. It had two knobs, hot and cold on the wall that had the rain head. Turning the knobs turned all of the water on everywhere.

The rain head was on non stop, but you could adjust each wall jet like a round garden hose tip. Tighten to concentrate the spray, loosen to make it wider. Tighten all the way to turn off the jet. The wall jets could also be moved in a wide circular arc from their fixed point on the wall.

It was all mechanical, no smart features or anything. I left all the jets on because why the fuck not.

My strangest shower thought came from my strangest shower.

I worked for a small company years ago that paid for a “spa day” for its employees after completing a year long death march project. I had a mediocre massage, but afterwards I went to change I their shower room and decided to give the shower a go.

My god. It had a 3ft square rain shower head and no less than 12 separate side jets on the walls, all adjustable. Every inch of my body was hit simultaneously with hot, pressured water. It was like wearing a suit of hot water armor, head to toe. No matter how I moved, water. It was basically a standing bath. They must have had a city water main hooked up to that shower stall, as the pressure was just ridiculous.

I stood in there for nearly 30 minutes. It was wonderful, and also made me realize that this is how the ultra rich lived. This kind of luxury as an after thought, an expectation. For that moment of time, on someone else’s dime, I was in that world. That realization was almost as surreal as the physical experience itself.

If the thread is 52 comments and that’s posted 26 times, that is a dead thread. There is an inherent problem with that.

Posting should be an attempt to create discussion. If the poster tries to end discussion in the comments, that’s just making noise. Eventually, a community of just noise will die.

Isreal can’t refuse access to the press in Lebanon like they do in Palestine, so the lies are easier to pierce.

Then they basically fired her from what was a lucrative job “for her safety.”

No punishment occurred for the shithead that assaulted her or the shitheads that minimized the attack.
