Thanks for all of this, I’ve been reading into these options since you left your comment. You trust them then? No logging, secure? Good endpoints?

I won’t talk politics, but I will say after going out and seeing other countries I completely agree, it’s way different than what I was told. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t left NA has any right to compare us against anyone.

Through who if I may ask?

I’ve wondered how feasible it is to see if anyone sells von by the 5 year mark, just so I can continue to access even if they don’t serve my country anymore

You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.

Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can’t do it without charging, you can’t do it

Replicating images isn’t really best practice. Images are meant to be ephemeral on the server. Dockers pattern is to repull the images if they are needed, and that only takes a few seconds. Saving the images IMO would just be a waste of space.

If you are afraid the images will be gone someday, the proper way to handle this is to use a docker registry as a proxy. So you make your own docker registry, like your.tld/registry and then set it in proxy mode. Then when you pull your images you set docker to pull from your registry. If it’s found it will use your local data otherwise it will pull through from the parent registry, and serve the docker image to your client. For backup then you backup the registry’s volume.

That fits within the pattern of docker. Your clients come up, query the local registry, and it will serve your containers. Your server remains ephemeral.

The half your age plus 7 rule holds up even then in my book. It’s not like you turn 18 and have to suddenly dump your 17 year old partner.

19/2=9.5, 9.5+7 is 16.5. so if she’s closer to 17 than just turned 16 than the rule holds up. He is on the lowest bar though.

You’re going to find there’s a lot of creepy guys who hang around your high school and try to get with high school girls because they’re emotionally stunted and don’t know how to attract someone of the same age. When you see a 22 year old guy prowling around a 16 or 17 year old, alarm bells should be going off. Your friend? It’s nearing weird but if this is a one-off case I wouldn’t be too surprised. It’s like a senior dating a sophomore.

Do you mean docker volumes? If so it’s very easy, just tar where the volumes and and move them over, untar them and map the containers to wherever they should go. Don’t overthink it.

If you mean docker images I’d ask why, can you just repull them?

Pacific rim was one of those movies that cemented that you can’t just say a movie is bad or good. The tomato-meter doesn’t have nuance.

There are days I want to come home and experience the perfect sci fi movie with amazing effects, and there are days I want a drama that brings me to tears. Then some days I just want to see giant robots punching the shit out of aliens. All three are good movies for their own merits.

This is why I think everyone should be on board 100% before deciding to have kids. Those kids will grow up and remember their dad doing that, like I do mine. If you don’t want kids then great, just don’t have kids, but don’t hav kids to make your partner happy.

Take it like how I take homelessness. If you see someone asking for money you don’t know if they’re legit or a scam. If they are legit then what do you do, take on the responsibility of donating to everyone you see? You just can’t.

A better use of your money is to research what charities are there on the ground and donate to them. Do your research, see who aligns with you the most.

My dad was always conservative listening to Limbaugh and other talking heads as long as I can remember. He was always casually racist but then everything was ramped up in 2016. It grew to a point that he joined Facebook and every post was truly horrific. Gleefully enjoying violence. He was convinced Michelle Obama had to be a man. Every crude meme he could find he reposted.

It came to a head when I realized that I’m passively letting him say all of this, while at the same time I have mentors and people I care about that he actively wants harm to come to. It became a true moral thing, by letting him just say all of this, I felt like I was saying it was okay.

So I told him that he could either have these posts on facebook and his hate or he could have a relationship with me, but that I couldn’t have a relationship with him while he had this much hatred towards people I care about.

That was the last time I spoke to him, he never reached out after that. It’s been 7 years now since I’ve heard from him. He knows how to get hold of me if he should ever choose, but I’ve never heard anything from him.

From the rumors, 1 by 1 he alienated everyone else in the family, even coming to a screaming match with his elderly mother as she asked him to please be calm. Last I heard he picked up a new MAGA girlfriend and moved somewhere in the rust belt away from all the libs in the Midwest. I have no idea where beyond that.

I also bought Plex lifetime pass also for $100 and I am getting ads like this.

Feel free to go read the multiple writeups from the maintainers that go over each one, we don’t need to copy them all here into the comments for you.

Except they’re spamming to users that they need this subscription even when they host locally or already have a membership.

I paid too, but consider that you basically paid $5 per year for 10 years and I’d say that good. You don’t need to feel guilty if you decide to leave, you got your money’s worth.

(And I mean, I have a sneaky suspicion they’re coming for the lifetime users sooner or later)

It was a pain to get up and running, but now that it is i actually prefer it. OSS aside there are things I like, like editions/versions are all kind of merged, more customization of the appearance, more performant. I’m pretty happy. Granted it was months of reorganizing my media for it.

Yes, but they’re still sending emails to people even when it doesn’t apply. I had a Plex pass and still all of my users received emails and freaked out. They’re trying to trick people into thinking they need to pay, that’s the asshole move here.

There is a weighting applied to the community size. Since we’re smaller a community that’s popular could dominate the feed and smaller communities wouldn’t be seen for pages, which hurt getting the word out about them.

If you prefer if that way it’s still there, check out Hot and Active for things you may be used to, Scaled is the one I’m referring to which most instances have set as their default.

I think you’re thinking of MIT though, the commenter was pointing out that AGPL is a license specifically made to do what you want - that people can use it in other open projects, but companies can’t use it in their for profit private software.
