Love this. I don’t want to read books. I want to have read books. I heard that if you read a certain amount of books that when you die you get an achievement.

Been saying for years I wish I could spend less time lost in a good book and more time making my boss rich.

“No babe it’s not rage bait because he cites his sources, I swear babe I won’t yell at my screen all night again”

True. Doctorow is not exactly one to restrain himself in lieu of a stinging hyperbole.

I understand. Graphene seems like the best place to invest. It’s a shame they are available on so few devices.

Which alternative ROMs will work with F-Droid after the changes to Android go through?

Data centers and power generation are IRL investments that are needed whether it’s for AI use or not.

Well said, and I think a good comparison (and something Doctorow has brought up before) is that the dot-com bubble built a ton of infrastructure and fiber networks that were later able to be utilized. He sort of touched on this when he said “Plan for a future where you can buy GPUs for ten cents on the dollar”.

That all said, as Ed Zitron is oft to highlight, something like 30% of the value of the SNP 500 is in “AI” right now. Even a relatively small pop could lead to more widespread repercussions.

“Chaufferdriven” sounds like a city in Germany

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

ok

If these catch on (unlikely imo) it’s only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them…

Sorry to have annoyed you.

idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don’t feel squeezed.

EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.

I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That’s much better than I’ve been seeing.

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.

Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn’t break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don’t feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won’t lose anything.

Hm I like that idea. That’s a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?

Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I’m home.
