I think you are definitely getting into overkill territory here with a server rack dedicated to Plex and a GPU. Most igpus on Intel chips can transcode 10+ 1080p streams and 2ish 4k streams. Unless you have 100 users seems over kill to me.

Edit. I’m on Unraid with about 30 users, and I only give Plex and all my other containers 6 cores from an i7 10700k.

I would say the benefit of OpenSUSE is that everything is preconfigured to work right out of the box, including btrfs snapshotting with snapper. Once you boot it’s time to download apps, and go. Very windows like for those who just want the system to work. Updates are one click.

Oh my god, I remember the Maher bit, you could tell Bill was getting pissed off about this guy coming on and spewing conspiracy theories. Actively rooting against Brand ever since! I believe all these allegations are probably true, as Brand seems to have a very tenuous relationship with reality.

Choosing death by starvation is not a choice. Work or die, slave.

I really don’t understand lemm.ee policy here. Hexbear is clearly a SPAM instance, but because they spam under the guise of leftist principles we’re just gonna let it slide. If explodingheads was this active and this toxic they would be de-federated 100%. Hexbear users brigade and spam every thread including this one. Being actively hostile, launching bad faith arguments. Don’t engage with these turds, just block and move on. We NEED instance blocking or lemmy is fucking toast.

While I think this should pass, don’t hold your breath. Mayor Frey will probably veto it. He’s a very moderate, business friendly Democrat and our governor also vetoed a similar bill from the state legislature earlier this year. Right or wrong, they are concerned that any disruption of Uber/Lyft services would be extremely detrimental to people who depend on them. Public transportation in MN is really bad and this is one of the major ways people get around.

At 21 hours old, this lemm.ee meta post has 1123 comments and 3/4ths of the comments are from hexbear users. They brigade every thread with their non sense and it is impacting lemmy in a very negative way. We wouldn’t be having this discussion if it wasn’t. I don’t really like defederation if it was a tool to silence ideology but what hexbear users do is not really debate ideology and more aggressive in your face bad faith argument trolling. This is a spam instance that should be treated as such. Block it.

Authoritarianism (or vertical/hierarchical power structure) is THE defining characteristic of the right. “Auth-left” is Doublethink; an oxymoron meant to distract from the fact that wealth and power are one and the same.

This is so incredibly naive. Stalin? Mao? Evil authoritarianism comes in all flavors left and right. If you truly believe leftists aren’t capable of evil you need to study more history.

Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They’re down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn’t fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It’s also one of the most recommended Lemmy’s with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world

While maybe not fascists politically, the Chinese government is no better than fascists see: Chinese governments deliberate genocide of Uyghur muslims

The USA debt to China is, I think, part of foreign policy. It keeps China at the table and they’ll never be able to break from globalism/the west cleanly because of it. If they ever invaded Taiwan, which I don’t think is likely, the USA would wipe all foreign debt to China as part of the sanctions package. You have to play nice (nice enough) if you want your money back.

Change default remote quality from 4Mbps to 12Mbps

Holy shit are they doing this for all platforms??? FINALLY!!!

I don’t want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who “didn’t share their inclusive views” That’s fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it’s not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don’t give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL

No no no no no. We don’t want to people to join and enjoy our near 100% uptime. Also be warned that lemm.ee isn’t de-federated with lemmynsfw so you’ll get PORN on your all feed. The horror. Steer clear.

I remember seeing a tweet of his saying he just saw it and it was garbage. It was then I got really excited because I knew it was gonna be good. Boy howdy I was right, Wife and I loved the movie so we went back the 2nd Saturday. In 20 years of being with my wife, she has NEVER agreed to see a movie twice in theater. Still can’t get the songs out of my head. If you guys loved Barbie check out Ladybird kind of quirky coming of age film by the same director!

From what I understand, the KDE team used to use OpenSUSE as their distro of choice when testing KDE. This has changed now to KDE Neon being the flagship KDE experience. Also OpenSUSE will install Nvidia Drivers during install if you select that option. You’ll have to enable the Nvidia repo later on too. But it’s dead simple. Definitely give OpenSUSE a try. I’ve been using for a few months now on my laptop and it’s fantastic. It just works, including BTRFS snapshotting, right out of the box.
