Honestly at this point? Fine fuck it. I am so jaded that at this point my opinion is just Humanity has had so many chances throughout history to get it shit together and has repeatedly continued to fail and fall into this small group of people with power ruin everything while everyone suffers bullshit.
Time for us to just die and give the dolphins their turn
I've never really understood that argument. Most VPN software I've seen forces your DNS through the VPN as well which would bypass a public Wi-Fi's attempt to DNS poison.
I use a VPN anytime I'm not on my home network just because it's a super easy way for me to force my DNS to my own custom DNS with Adblock listing on the machine that's running the VPN endpoint.
It's wireguard, and it connects to a direct IP address. If someone tries to redirect or otherwise man in the middle of the connection wireguard will simply fail to establish a connection. Thanks to the fact that it uses a similar idea to pgp where the client and server already have each other's public keys and there's not really an unencrypted initial handshake even the initial talking has a form of encrypted communication thanks to the key pairings.
So like, my vpn is definitely proving security. Whether or not every random ass VPN you can buy is smart enough to force all DNS over the VPN or anything else I guess I can't say for sure maybe it's not common and that's why but it definitely can be used to help automate some security measures when using a public network
It's not that difficult? I'm over here in rural Washington along long beach, raymond, Aberdeen and Pacific Transit is quite viable for getting to work grocery stores and whatever else you need. I know because I'm a driver for them, I'm currently doing from Ilwaco to Aberdeen.
From my first stop to my second stop is a half hour, then an hour to the next stop, then a couple quick stops in town, then another half hour to Aberdeen. And yet I still service about 30 people a day, people rely on me to get to work, to do shopping, to go see the doctor. We also have a service where people can call upon us for very specific needs that aren't covered by our routes. Three of them actually
We have a Dial-A-Ride service where you can request that we pick you up and drop you off at specific places or the nearest other bus stop in smaller shuttle buses (prioritizes ada passengers if demand is high)
We have a shopper shuttle service that literally just runs between a big pile of different stores and restaurants that people like to go to and they make connections with most of our other routes
And then we have the veteran connect service where we help make sure that veterans are able to get to their medical appointments as far out as Chehalis and Vancouver as there is unfortunately no VA hospitals near us.
Almost every furniture store in existence can deliver straight to your house now, even if you manage to find one that can't just go rent a U-Haul for the day it's not expensive. There's no reason for your daily driver to be a massive truck because you might need something big at some point doesn't matter whether your rural or not.
I definitely know what it's like to put some mileage on a car as I currently Drive a total round trip mileage of 160 miles per day for getting to/from work. But thankfully for my wallet I'm driving a smart fortwo which gets on average 43 miles to the gallon so that definitely helps. And the only reason I need to do that is because I'm the one driving the bus so I can't exactly take the bus to drive the bus unfortunately as much as I wish they would let me just take it home
Isn't there literally a law that prevents gas stations from being too competitive. Like you can't lower your prices below a certain threshold lower than a station near you or some shit like that or am I just on crazy pills

Pretty sure it's just supposed to be one of those how is it already this late in the year type things
The part that pisses me off the most about this is that in states that have a very heavy amount of Renewables like let's say California they are literally curtailing insane amounts of solar because there's literally nowhere for them to put it.
Meanwhile they will simultaneously say they can't do green hydrogen because it takes so much energy and isn't super efficient, they will also say the same thing about desalination it needs too much energy where are they supposed to get it from. Motherfucker you are literally curtailing solar constantly just fucking dump it into one of those two things who cares if it's not the most efficient 20% efficiency is better than 0% efficiency

The trick is to work for yourself instead of for someone else. This is what hobbies are for obviously those can be difficult to achieve under the current system of work for literally every goddamn fucking hour of your life other than sleep and eating but I assure you there is plenty of fulfillment to be found doing something for yourself and sometimes depending on what it is you find a passion for you can even turn it into a little side hustle job to make some extra money
I'm not using HA so that's irrelevant to me. It's just cpu encoding on my threadripper server.
Because jellyfin has less device compatibility, worse transcoding performance, and still struggles with media matching. Oh and still had memory leak issues.
I have it installed, regularly update and test it, i want to ditch plex. But it's just got to many basic issues. Anime matching in particular is rough and yes even after adjusting match sources some anime just outright fails till i manually match, matches incorrectly, won't work either way.
No it's not the filenames. I use Sonarr, they are all very clean.

Edit: i give up figuring out how to make this stay treed, fucking hate reddit/lemmy formatting
Unless you're taking road trips literally every other week you could just rent a gas vehicle when it's time for a road trip. Rather than make the decision of the car you're going to drive every single day based on something you only do maybe once a year.
It's why I don't own a pickup truck, I actually do haul cars, help people move and all that shit that people say is why they need a pickup truck but I just go to fucking U-Haul and rent either the Sprinter van or the pickup truck for 30 bucks plus mileage when I need one. And I do actually keep track of my financial records with a double Ledger Finance app I just went and looked and I'm still nowhere near the cost of a used pickup truck from all of that renting
Except it can would and does. Lots of instances with overzealous owners/moderators that defederate or remove anything they don't like
