Fuck that, Israel should be carved out of Texas, not Palestine.

It will be much more cost effective to deliver our lethal aid within our own borders rather than across the Atlantic.

I’m pretty sure Minnesota imports something like 60% of our energy - i’m at least glad we’re past the worst of the winter weather but holy fuck is it going to suck

Huh, it works great on my android os Nvidia shield

I thought about it, but I have a couple other services that could benefit from getting dedicated gpu anyway. Might as well just save for a proper PCIE card.

cool, i might try it

I wanted to get a dedicated card for video transcription anyway, but it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

I’m curious what you’re doing with frigate/ how you’re doing it without a graphics card?

I’ve been using it for object detection, but i had to install it on my workhorse because my server doesn’t have a graphics card. I suppose it doesn’t need one if you’re not doing ml processing, but I’m still curious

Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:

• you need a lot of storage

• you need a lot of processing

• you are collaborating with multiple people/family members

• you are sharing media with other people outside your network

• you are sharing media across devices

• you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually

• you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)

• you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection

• you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use

• you like to make things

Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine

Is the reason you advocate avoiding VPN dependencies simply due to downtime if the tailscale service fails? Or is there a particular security vulnerability associated with using VPN subnets?

I’m not suggesting they would or would want to take all of Ukraine, just that Ukraine isn’t likely to gain any ground or stop further Russian advance without outside aid.

I don’t really think I am, but fair enough.

Ukraine might have more advanced infrastructure than Afghanistan, but having that infrastructure within reach of Russian missiles and airstrikes means that they’d have to defend it or else lose the means to sustain a continued resistance. Again, I don’t think people appreciate just how much trouble Ukraine would be in if the west pulled support before a ceasefire deal is struck - Ukrainian forces aren’t guerilla fighters. If Russia didn’t already have the upper hand now, they certainly would once Ukraine was left to maintain their resistance alone - and then it would really only be a question of how long Russian citizens will put up with their wartime economy (and how many soldiers NK is willing to lose).

The one we’re talking about.

The taliban had the support of Pakistan, as well as Iran and Russia - that’s the only way that kind of war could last for 20 years. That’s essentially where we are now with western backing, but if the west pulls support… Ukraine can last only so long on will-power alone. The same could be said for Russia, but as far as I can tell there isn’t an active risk of their allies pulling support yet.

edit: far be it for me to point out that’s why there’s been so much circling of wagons to keep the US involved and so much panic about trump pulling us out

Huh? This conflict basically already is the Afghanistan war.

Yea I don’t disagree. It’s just an incredible claim and it’s surprising that it’s apparently not being scrutinized much in the reporting.

People really want to take this as granted, and that’s kinda the point of manufactured consent.

I don’t even have a horse in this race, but it’s kinda crazy how badly people seem to want to believe this one crazy detail of an already unbelievable conflict

• a: they’re paraphrasing zelenski there, and,

• b:

The BBC has not independently verified the claims.

They’re all reporting on the same tweet, it’s not surprising that none of them have been able to verify it

Would be, but unfortunately all I have are fluorescent troffers down there. But a single extension and splitter cable might still be acceptable. I also thought about getting some usb battery banks - the cameras run off a 5v power adapter, I think a 15000mAh battery might last a couple days or even just one (not sure how many watts they draw running the custom firmware).

I was hoping for a cleaner solution but it might be one of those “pick two” situations.

I’m impressed that you can handle that many jellyfin users

The range of sofistication in this thread is actually kind of breathtaking

I was so close to asking what the hell that thing was

Yea, no disagreement. I more am curious if the federated nature is what helps mitigate that risk, or if there is some other systemic distinction that has helped.

I also just don’t know what the others were like long-term - did they peeter out? Would I realize it if lemmy was in the same decline?

I’m not actually sure comments get sorted by vote tally by default here.

I’ve always just ignored downvotes - I know when my opinion is unpopular, I don’t see the votes as validating. I’d be fine if there were no visible votes at all
