They knew they could be overlords and were that before The Great Depression too. We are just surpassing the level of wealth inequality that was reached prior to the system collapsing back then. What followed in the 40s and 50s was an abnormal period created by the imolementation of a significant number of socialist policies. These fuckers have been working to dismantle them. If we find a formula that allows for such reforms to stick for longer than several decades, that would be nice. There’s good reason for skepticism though.

Steve still doesn’t quite see that this is the capitalist system working as intended - serving the owner (capitalist) class, but he’s definitely getting radicalized by the current reality of it.

It’s still informative. His other stuff is good too.

Good vid but he’s falling a bit for the corporate propaganda that costs determine prices and that consumers have real power over price setting. Most firms maximize prices while minimizing costs. Consumers have especially little market power in a consolidated market like home appliances.

I don’t think meaningful communication is a KPI they optinize for. More likely time spent in the Discover feed.

I doubt it.

Or Circles in Google+.

This is cool but for self-hosting you probably want a more robust monitoring system capable of alerting at all times. Prometheus is what I use. It also gathers data over time and can monitor many machines.

Right, the flexibility angle makes sense if using a typical root fs like Ext4 with or without LVM. That’s a reason I’ve always kept the OS separate. But with ZFS there’s unlimited flexibility. Separate datasets or volumes within the same storage pool are trivial. I could do root on ZFS on separate SSDs and get those benefits but it’s more complicated that slapping it all in a single pool. Then maybe use the SSDs for cache. :D

That’s odd because the clients are just web apps I think. That should work without crashing on a stable OS. I use them on Android mobile and Android TV with extensive subtitle usage and haven’t seen instability.

A funny thing I noticed is that the client distributed in F-Droid is extremely old even though it says it’s updated recently.

I think there’s research to that effect.

I switched from a heavily used Plex server with about 10 users to Jellyfin with the samw usage patterns abour half a year ago. So far it’s been pretty smooth sailing. A better world is possible!

Yes baby.

Pinokio is a 1-click launcher for any open-source project. Think of it as a terminal application with a user-friendly interface that can programmatically interact with scripts.

A web UI that runs scripts. Cool I guess. If you’re into that kind of thing. There’s no way I’d use this instead of docker compose and Ansible/SaltStack. And yes I realize you probably could use compose from a Pinokio script.

That’s the issue. It’s why I’ve learned that when I can afford it and I reasonably believe this firm or project should exist, and it has a decent chance not to fall flat, I end up buying in. It’s literally upfront investment in the thing. I’m still salty for not backing the Ubuntu Phone back in 2012 or so. I looked at it as another phone compared to what’s available on the market and how the price stacks up for the features. That’s very much the wrong way to do it. A part of the value it provides is the existence of the project and the labour dedicated to it. In the case of the new Pebble, I’m backing it despite Eric, and because it’s fully open source and that’s something I want to exist. A fully open alternative in the sea of proprietary wearable crap.

Same guy. This time the whole thing is open source though, even the hardware. So that’s insurance for what it’s worth.

This is not the final design, it might gain a connector in the final. It might not. But even if it doesn’t, splicing the wires shouldn’t be too difficult for most who’d dare open their watch. I’m pretty confident I can do it.
