The other day my wife asked me “what’s that pipe website you use to be able to watch YouTube videos” then I realized it was because she got blocked by YouTube haha

Firefox when you want it to work bester

They are hiding the fact most of these new accounts are in places where there is no password sharing crackdown yet and their profits are down to try and keep investors happy, at least that’s what the articles said a few days ago and now they just say how they have new subscribers and leave out all the details

If you go the piracy route you can get her a lot more content for the cost of some electricity and some usenet indexers, or have a friend willing to host a Plex server

And most of those new accounts are in countries where there was no password crackdown and Netflix lost about 8% on share price so they want to spin the idea

well on unRaid you just click add a pool and you select which drives you want in it, then you just tell your shares to use that pool

I saw a post earlier on how someone was using the free hosting in Oracle to run their instance, I made an account but haven’t gotten it setup

It works great I keep my containers in the cache so they operate faster, and when moving files to my server it gets placed on the cache initially so the transfer is quick, then later it will migrate into the slower hard drives on it’s own time

I upgraded my gaming machine and used my old motherboard and cpu and loaded unraid on there, the i7 was great for plex transcoding and eventually i ran out of sata ports on my machine so I stuck a sata expander card in my one pcie slot, luckily the motherboard had two m.2 slots so I used that for cache. the case I used was a node304 and over time I added drives as I was running out of space. eventually I build a separate JBOD chassis to hold more drives

I feel like algorithms ruined social media for me, when I open Instagram I don’t see any content from my friends or family so I just close it

the watchlist sync feature is amazing, I dont even go to overseerr anymore I just browse directly in plex now and add to watchlist

Im doing something similar except I parsec into a vm at home using my phone in dex mode

I’ve seen my immediate friends use chatbots to help them from passing boring yearly trainings at work, make speeches for weddings, and make rough draft lesson plans

boredom has made me the man I am today, its tough now a days to get bored and not pull out your phone and browse lemmy instead of doing your hobbies

Podcast addict was perfect for me, the ability to automatically add things to your queue based on priority was great. I used it to play a 10 minute news podcast every morning then jump back to whatever podcast I was listening to and have other weekly podcasts jump in after that

I just cancelled everything, no more subscriptions for me, except for the yearly re-up on usenet indexers

I remember watching this video that explained how it worked pretty neat

I have bought tablets twice and I end up not really using them then giving them to my mom haha
