Done. Honestly it was one of the first that popped in other than roll your own…

I like Plex Ymmv

satanmat , 12 days ago to Selfhosted in Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

We do a quarterly test.

I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.

For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good

Hth

I have 2 “smart” tvs. IMHO I don’t connect them to the internet.
Use a device (, pi-running Plex or kodi?)

Edit. Removed roku

satanmat , 13 days ago to Selfhosted in Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise

“For the children “ …. Like none of them have ever heard bad words…. They must be protected at all cost.

Like a person who likes to grab them by the pussy…

You’re self hosting and then sharing the files via tor?

We make it a drinking game…

So. We the people, meat sacks who pay taxes; are paying $775/ day…

TO WHAT CONTRACTOR? I’m guessing here, that cost is being paid to KBR? to house them. Just a guess?

With the lack of moisture and high sodium, the hamburger is immortal; the fridge will suffer a circuit board failure when the power goes out; and those trucks are designed to be planned obsolete in 5 years

So hell if I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sigh, kinda… but don’t forget to factor in your backup costs too

satanmat , 1 month ago to Privacy in Ars Technica reports Microsoft will add AI to Windows, to steal your corporate secrets

Kinda yeah. Like many things it is complex.

Back in the day… I was so chuffed when MS released 95, and 98 and was amazed at 2000.

But yes 8 was a horror show, and to that point— is anyone excited about a new release?

When there is really nothing wrong with XYZ machine running 10; but it is not supported in 11 and your EOL on 10; yeah there’s nothing compelling me to want a new computer

MS for a short while was or seemed happy for people to use 365 , but to me it seems like they are just shitting on windows as an os.

satanmat , 1 month ago to Privacy in Ars Technica reports Microsoft will add AI to Windows, to steal your corporate secrets

I hear you.

Being able to search and read was the hardest part (read as not at all difficult)

99.9 % of my computer usage is FF and libreoffice.

Other than (maybe) initial setup there is nothing stopping “your mom” from being able to have Linux as a daily driver.

Microsoft is for some reason $$$$ shooting them selves in the foot they seem hell bent on making windows unusablely crappy. Oh look enshitification.
