The only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.

I agree with this. You can make a competent, easily digestible message that public safety, better quality of life, etc. comes from investing in common public services. Crime goes down when there’s better public health and education.

Honestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.

Just started toying with Jellyfin for my media after Plex started being freaks about everything. I love PlexAmp though so anything that moves the needle on that is excellent. Tried some other players but currently, my setup only works in network and I’ll need to configure SSL somehow.

I don’t have an Android but thanks for the links regardless.

This looks badass. I do wish there were better mobile apps for a lot of these media servers. I’ve been mostly sticking to Plexamp for now cause of it.

I might be able to help here. Is it outbound or inbound networking? Is there a ticket number you’d be okay sharing?

Honestly, this is kinda making me wanna redeploy a couple app stacks I have on a VPS. Hmm.

You’re gonna make me cry.

Yuck. I have to prop up a server and pay a monthly fee? They’re not doing that much for me.

This is truly the biggest bummer since Plexamp is a really nice audio player.

Yeah, this is a big issue. I know Lemmy blew up a bit before it was truly ready for prime time but I hope this cleans up.

I think you’re mostly right but there’s a host of nuance and legalese that muddies this up. Social media is always in a conflicted relationship with speech, wanting to have no culpability over what’s posted while also making decisions over what to feature/restrict/etc. They’re actually really cautious to not position themselves as the “town square” for that reason since it does channel a sort of legal definition of such.

I promise I’m not trying to make fun of you but this sounds a bit like a suburban person’s perception of the city rather than what the city is actually like. None of this is more common on a subway than anywhere else.

Yeah, because there’s zero investment in transit. We literally don’t have the resources to make a bunch of EV cars so we’re gonna have to invest in transit one way or another.

Stupid idea that’s clearly motivated by the city’s deference to their tech gentry. Self driving anything has too many questions and issues still. I’m also not inclined to table “well what about the problems with people driving?” That only tells me we need transit, not robo taxis.

Having worked at a cloud provider for awhile and also done support, the reasoning is generally that Ubuntu is the “path of least resistance” to getting running. They have a super engaged community and the market share leads to a lot of guides across the web being primarily made for Ubuntu.

To be fair, it also helps that their LTS support is really nice and their repos are a lot closer to up-to-date than a bunch of others.

I’ve been trying to run this with a Libra but the calibre-web sync has been borked for awhile. Kinda frustrating, tbh.

Having had to work in removing CSAM from a hosting provider, it just feels extra insulting when idiots say things are “for the kids”. Between that, and the likelihood of all these companies holding your driver license and subsequently leaking it online in a hack, I just can’t wrap my head around it on any level.

That said, I suspect it’s untenable to apply this to smaller orgs like the fediverse anyway so I don’t see the rubber hitting the road over here.

Drives me nuts that people do this garbage “for the kids” while doing nothing to support the groups working to stop actual child abuse. Go support NCMEC or something instead of being worried a child might Google “gay”.
