You say all that in jest but I’m old enough to have seen the change. Old enough and from a remote enough area that the change happened late for me.

I’d say it was about 1994-1995 when I noticed it. The police became more militarized and the standards of law enforcement were changed to be a revolving door where if they fucked up, they just got moved far enough away from the fuck up that no one knew about it there. Basically following the Catholic church system.

So law enforcement went from being socially embedded in the community to being outside of it a bit. And then over time, above it. And mind you, this is very rural. Towns smaller than 10k people were considered our cities. Cops have always been class traitors but looking back, this all felt like a calculated sea change.

And then of course 9/11 happened and police started getting the militarized hardware to go along with the attitude. And then Fox news started to warp what were pretty decent people into being xenophobic hate worshippers.

But right before all that, if you were caught causing trouble, underage drinking or even drinking and driving, the cops would bring you to your house to face your parents. Not to a jail cell.

We had a decent amount of freedom. Actual freedom. Capitalism was reigning supreme at larger scales, but it hadn’t been applied to every single thing in life quite yet. It didn’t have its act together enough to suck the fun out of just existing. Even state government (in a low-population state) felt pretty community driven. Legislators would come by and visit even my tiny village.

You didn’t see no trespassing signs on every piece of fence because frivolous lawsuits hadn’t been made popular yet. My mom, a single mother, she did struggle financially but she still was capable of raising my brother and I in safety on a waitress’ wage. And again, this is a tiny ass town she was waitressing in. Fewer than 500 people.

The 80’s and 90’s were far from perfect but it does allow me to know we can do better. We can have it better. And it’s one of the few things that keep me working and fighting. The younger generations deserve better and they can have a better life than has been provided to them.

Some nice improvements to an already great piece of kit. Good job y’all. Looking forward to updating.

Here’s why everyone is angry. Seemingly at people like you, I’m assuming, who decided not to vote. Democrats weren’t the ones committing the genocide!! They were absolutely enabling it. Supporting it. Israel was committing the genocide and we weren’t voting for their government. And then, on top of that, it was absolutely evident that Trump would make the genocide worse and not voting against him was effectively voting for him. And that’s on you. You did that. There was a slim chance that Kamala could improve the situation and Palestinian lives. Instead, your lack of vote ensured that wouldn’t happen, ensured that more Ukrainians would die, ensured that Africans would die, ensured that American women would die, ensured that millions of Americans will die if there’s a pandemic. And now instead of just fixing the Democratic party for the future, we’re also fighting fascism. So fucking congrats. Your short-sighted high horse didn’t take a harm reduction strategy and many human lives are now gone. You need to fucking own that.

Well, with Plex constantly changing allowed abilities and such, it seems to me that this is the expected outcome.

The OP might disagree from what I’m seeing.

But I keep hearing the value of Plex is that anyone can use it.

When I first saw Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina I immediately thought she (the actress not the character) had Mandy vibes.

Obviously, Nic Cage as Billy.

It really depends on your use case. I’ve gone through 9tb of data in a month. And often have up to a dozen BR quality movie requests at once. 35-65gb each, on average. If you’re only doing one movie at a time and only doing torrent quality, you shouldn’t have any issues.

One of the issues with multiple devices is networking. Transferring totally legit files for the Arr stack to and from the NAS can be a lot of data. Keeping it all in one system means your speeds up to that point are SATA speeds vs ethernet.

For the OP, one file with hard linking is my goal, but I only use Usenet. I rip anything that comes down with Tdarr to strip languages, normalize audio and rip to H265. If you do that with torrents, you will need to keep the original for seeding.

I want to add, you will likely find your own solutions to these problems to make things more bearable. But you’ll likely be on your own in the process. The office is made for and made up predominately of an idea of business perfection and mostly contains neurotypical people. They will not understand your issues if you ask for ways to navigate your needs and the environment. But, you will likely find the things you need to manage. It might be a little scary and overwhelming at first. But it’s definitely not impossible. Give it some time before giving up and you might even find new ways to thrive.

You will quickly find that neurotypical people also find their own ways to cope in this environment. They’ll just seem more normal to everyone when they do it.

This is just my experience. Every workplace is a bit different, but I think my answers will be generally applicable.

• Are people going to be annoyed at me if I fidget, move around, and pace a lot? Yes
• Are people going to be like, constantly looking at my screen? Am I going to feel judged the whole time Yes
• I have the classic ADHD “do double the work in half the time, do nothing the other half”. Am I going to be judged on my work output, or how busy I make myself look?
  Busy work is going to be the most important aspect of your time. Looking busy without being busy is an important art
• If I have downtime, would it be acceptable to read a book or something?
  No
• If I have a chat with my coworker sitting next to me, is the whole office going to hear it? Am I going to be interrupting and bothering everyone? Everyone will hear and short conversations are often considered fine
• Did you disclose ADHD to your boss? Did you get any accommodations for it? Not ADHD but anxiety and depression. They don’t really care. Make sure you do the paperwork for FMLA to cover your ass if behaviors become disruptive in your environment

Have you set up jellyfish at your home, given access to a friend outside of your network who could not setup Jellyfin themselves, and successfully got them playing on their TV, table tablet, and/or phone? Have you been able to set them up without them having to call you every week?

Yes. It’s very easy. It might not have used to be easy but it is for the last couple of years. Dead simple. About a dozen people use my Jellyfin server across TV’s, phones, tablets, laptops. None of them are what I would call techies. It’s as simple for them as Netflix.

America following in your footsteps I guess.

You will want the actual IP address. Localhost can get lost in various circumstances. If Cloudflare tunnel service and Jellyfin are on the same virtual network it should be fine. But I wouldn’t trust it.

But yes, your Cloudflare tunnel should only connect to http:// not https. It will serve https on the public side of things.

I think you can get Open Street Maps in the F Droid app store. But, as much as I appreciate OSM, it’s just not the same as Google maps. The speed, accuracy and information doesn’t seem to have an equal.

You definitely can run Nextcloud in a VM. With decent hardware, it will do it. I guess I would say it depends on needs and expectations. My install is not snappy to me. I’ve got what I feel is a very beefy server but still. Just feels a little slow at times. Totally functional. Just has a small amount of lag when doing anything. I’ve read people say they have none at all. But when you’re busy and relying on it, my suggestion is to eke out everything you can for it for a better experience. Not make or break by any means.

I don’t think it’s a problem per se, as much as it’s a difference in priorities. But the docker implementation in TrueNAS is more of an afterthought. I think they’ve fixed some issues but checking out their forums, many of the issues I faced seem to still exist. Docker packages corrupting and not being accessible in any way, not updating, just seemingly, not robust. Also, I disliked the file permission structure but that’s more preference I think. I would say TrueNAS is a great NAS just not the best hypervisor and NAS.

A few things. I also think nextcloud is the way to go for what you want. I’ve gotten rid of anything Google I can. Except for maps. Man, there just is no substitute especially when mobile.

I always do, but I’m going to suggest Unraid for a NAS. Pay the money and then just enjoy it. I fought with truenas for over a year before I succumbed. You can totally play around with zfs, striped arrays whatever. I do not recommend an external enclosure. I think you’ll come to hate it for lack of ability. I recommend biting the bullet and building a machine or putting your current PC components into a real case with upgradability if possible.

Also, I wouldn’t plan on running Nextcloud in a VM. Nextcloud is pretty beefy and a VM adds complexity that I suggest against. A docker AIO version of nextcloud running on as close to bare metal as you can is probably the best option for performance.

That’s for the CDN. It’s about serving static, cached content faster. I actually tried to pay and use their Stream service, but it’s only to be used for serving video in a web page. While they’ve not directly clarified on the topic (even after being asked directly in the forums several times), don’t turn on caching and it appears to serve the language they’ve used in the updated TOS. I’m not a lawyer here, but parse that all as you will. Don’t take up storage on their CDN and they seem to be happy. I actually did buy some domain names through them to make sure I’m not just using their services without giving anything back. But, that’s a matter of conscience.

Who’s to say what content I stream. You do you, boo.
