I’m just using caddy and a cheap $2 a year .top domain with a $4 a month VPS. Works for my users, I only have 3 users on my server.

Only to fuck it.

Same. My only use is accidental.

Guess I’m should get around to disabling it.

Yes shame about Mullvad. AirVPN still allows port forwarding though.

Now days I just stick to private trackers while using a cheap European VPS setup with wireguard. Only saves me a couple of bucks a month compared to VPN service but it adds up.

I keep an eye on my server and trust issues will be fixed in time as more and more users dump Plex.

Who knows what security issues Plex had and I ran that without issue. At least Jellyfin’s aren’t hidden.

This past week I switched my server to Jellyfin and migrated all my users over to it after I just happened across a thread a month ago about Plex charging for remote streaming on the 29th of April.

I never got an email from Plex about the change until April 29th… Scummy behaviour and I’m sure a lot of users and server owners bought their product in a panic as a result.

So far Jellyfin works perfectly, all my users are on Rokus and the app works perfectly on there.

Plex will only continue to get worse so I’m glad I made the jump.

Yeah we can’t make everything.

Not only do most of those low level factory jobs suck we simply don’t have the workers, we’re at less than 5% unemployment.

Stupidly malicious. Money is the main motivator and we’ve seen Trump do the dumbest shit to make it in the past, Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump Bibles etc.

Repeatedly crashing the economy in order to short it is right up his alley.

In a rational market that still adhered to fundamentals, sure. We are in the meme market era and have been for at least half a decade.

Companies like GameStop that should have went extinct years ago are still running purely off delusion.

Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he’s running every month.

There’s nothing else that makes sense and he’s going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.

This is just perceived technological advances in the same span of time, not what games different generations prefer.

While Moore’s Law isn’t dead the slow down is apparent. From game graphics to phones and other areas of life, the perception is stagnation.

For example I’d notice little difference in a flagship android phone from 10 years ago or AAA video game compared to something that came out this year. Hell I might gain some features like a headphone jack or IR blaster.

You couldn’t say the same if you went back 10 years from 2012 to 2002 tech. You’d go from a smartphone to a cellphone that probably didn’t even have a color screen nevermind a camera, web browser, touchscreen etc.

God damn it.

headphone jack, NFC, and microSD

The holy trinity.

I need to move on from my LG (RIP) G6 soon due to battery life and apps becoming unsupported so I’ve been shopping around.

Right now I have a headphone jack, NFC, MicroSD, FM Radio and 4k video recording. I’ll probably have to give up the radio at least if not more to get a well rounded phone.

The G6 came out 7 years ago but it feels like most new phones are a downgrade in comparsion.

I’ve noticed routers in recent years have default passwords like “wristrhino040” printed on the sticker on the bottom. I suspect we’ll see more of that.

Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.

No, as a person in a magenta county this map tracks.

The state has a problem with alcohol, much of the culture revovles around it.

Bars have so much power here they successfully lobby to keep weed illegal. They’re like a cartel.

The difference is real, Wisconsin has the Tavern League. Powerful group and a big reason why theres no legal weed in Wisconsin.

Meanwhile it’s surrounded by states with legal weed.

Terry summed it up well.

I still have fun with it, plenty of full servers to be found.

I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.
