My mama also told me that if someone locks you up, then you just lock them up right back.

My mama always told me, that if someone makes a deepfake of you, then you make a deepfake of them right back!

All this discussion about captchas raises a question for me: if fingerprinting is so accurate and easy, that ublock, no cookies and a VPN don’t help… then why the fuck do I have to keep doing captchas?

Absolutely. It is crystal fucking clear that Iran will never be safe until it has nuclear deterrence.

“America First” was a slogan used by US fascists (like Charles Lindbergh) before WW2. The more things change, eh?

“They say America first, but what they mean is America next!”

Navidrome for me. Installed via Yunohost.

Just cross post to a couple different hosters.

And even if you don’t want to… Find someone who does! Donate that laptop to someone. Find a LUG or Mutual Aid group or a friendly local anarchist :)

Been using it for 10+ years. Love it.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley.

I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years, but I still remember the fear of the terminal. The truth is that there is not much that you need to learn for daily use. Unless I’m working on an actual project (like configuring servers/networking) I don’t spend much time in a CLI. Start with a beginner friendly distro (Linux Mint Debian Edition is my pick). You shouldn’t need terminal at all for basic usage. Next, find some tutorials on basic Linux terminal usage and practice. The goal isn’t to “learn every command” but to just familiarize yourself with how it works. Learn how to navigate your files and folders (ls, cp, mv, touch, etc). Learn how to edit text files (use nano). After that, anything you need to learn will be because you want to do something beyond basic use.

I remapped the power button of my computer to whatever that series of keypresses is that exits vim.

Every fucking version displays our HTML email signatures differently.

Or something like OpenNic.

I’ve got to admit that I’ve never used Plex (I’m a cantankerous open software fanatic), but how do you get your media on there? You’re hosting your own server so presumably you’re downloading the media somehow. Are you doing it manually? If so, you can do the same with Jellyfin. Is it automated with some tool built into Plex?

I’m only sharing access with a few friends and family, so I don’t find it cumbersome. Usually I make their account using the Jellyfin app on my phone. I do sympathize with not wanting to do support, which is the main reason I don’t even ask for help with the hosting costs. I don’t want to feel any obligation.

I’m surprised by the resistance to Jellyfin in this thread. If you are using Plex, you’re already savvy enough to use bittorrent and probably the *arrs. If you can configure that stuff, Jellyfin is absolutely something you can handle. If you like Docker, there’s good projects out there. If you’re like me and you don’t understand Docker, use Swizzin community edition. If you can install Ubuntu or Debian, and run the Swizzin script, you’re in business.

Uh, my parents are over 80, and I have jellyfin set up on their firestick. They have no problem using it. It’s just an app they open like anything else.

I have Jellyfin running on a VPS. I used Swizzin Community Edition to set it all up. It is available online.
