Yes, but he’s straight for pay.

He’s trying to instigate a war so that he can be a wartime president. On all fronts. I’m sure he would rather it be a domestic matter, but he’s clearly happy to start one internationally, too.

Especially after Brexit.

I’ve done this. I have a Google TV Stick. If Netflix starts preventing people from opening their app when it detects a VPN (in Android), then you can do what I did and run the VPN on the routers themselves. In my case it’s ASUS routers on both ends, and they support Wireguard natively (GliNet are also really good for this as they support and run OpenWrt)

The benefit to doing it this way is that neither Netflix nor the Google TV itself are aware they’re on a VPN. The ASUS routers I use have a feature called VPN Fusion, where you can put different clients on or off of different VPN connections.

Edit: To clarify, I share with family. I’m not the account owner, but I’m one of the profiles in the account.

Yes! For Spotify I’ve been using stats.fm (app/site). Iirc it’s paid (one time in app, but cheap). And they walk you through emailing Spotify support to get ALL of your listening history from day 1 to import into the app. After that it will just continue via connection to your Spotify.

What comes next, invading Cyprus?

Hey man, next time you’re gonna give away the plot or foreshadow, please use a spoiler tag for those who aren’t up to date this season

You can also go on eBay and look for older mini PCs. I got an HP Elite desk Mini G5 for like $70. Didn’t come with storage (usually the case), but an NVME/2.5 SATA drive is cheap.

It has an Intel 9500T and 16GB DDR4 RAM. The N series chips are more efficient (I have one of those N100 mini PCs, too), but the full chips offer more power (if you need it). Of course both of them will be significantly lower in power usage to an old desktop/server, by far.

Whatever you end up using, you can install Proxmox and call it a day. From there, install whatever you want, running side by side.

I don’t know why people act surprised when it’s been generations of this:

And young: https://youtu.be/FSlUpltK5Kw

There are much older videos of kids in their living rooms and kids in other classrooms interacting with teachers, talking about how they’re going to take back the land and wipe out the people.

I was moreso referring to this. But you are correct about this specific situation and person.

If you’re Jewish (or claim it with some proof), they’ll give you citizenship based on that alone. Actually, now they will do it on the plane itself, like they recently did for an entire family.

There have been documentaries about this for years now, on YouTube and other places. Talking about how pedophiles can easily claim asylum (more or less) in Israel after being convicted of a crime.

Literally yes.

So is he insinuating that communities should have IT people who keep things running for everyone (like a digital librarian of sorts)?

Because that takes time, effort, and money. Like a lot more than one would spend or need for just themselves/family/maybe a couple of friends.

Also, community-run self-hosting just seems like a bad idea from a privacy and legality standpoint. One pirate getting caught isn’t usually so bad (usually a warning or small fine). But once you start distributing, then you’re going from a kiddie pool of consequences into an ocean of consequences. We’re talking massive fines and/or jail time.

Edit: I should clarify that I’m not talking about services here, but content itself.

When I pointed out the first time this happened, I was pummeled in the comments by people saying that he just doesn’t want to be complicit in anything. Okay, but then why did he give Ukraine a bunch of Starlink receivers to begin with? And now this is the second or third time he’s fucked the Ukrainians by turning off the service as they’re taking back their land.

He a fucking clown. He wants his service used, but he doesn’t want any consequences. He just wants to drag the war out and add “Powered by Starlink”. He’s given himself some control over the conflict, while enriching himself for as long as it continues.

Citizens United says what?

Your comment tldr: “You guys don’t get it; they’re both bad”

and then everyone clapped for you. /s

Thanks for the info. I’m sure it’ll also be useful to others reading the comments.

This sucks because, functionally-wise I have zero issues with Emby. But morally, this bothers me a lot. I thought it was going to just be because of the license (I think I paid $99 around Christmas a few years ago for a Lifetime license).

Guess I’ll be switching to Jellyfin then and donating to the project. If I paid for Emby, there’s no reason I can’t donate to a free, open-source project being developed and maintained by volunteers.

Do you mind elaborating on that? It sounds like I got in on Emby after the rugpull. It works fine for me and I use it without the Connect (online account) feature.

Can I ask why nobody recommends Emby? I’ve been using it for years with zero issues. The only thing I can think of is that Jellyfin exists and is free. Emby is sort of a middleground between Plex and Jellyfin; it has a paid license (lifetime option exists), but it’s closer to Jellyfin than Plex on the whole.

They get off on it. I’m not joking. I would share videos of it, but there are too many. The hatred is cultural and engrained in society.
