  • The hidden cost of self-hosting

    Jump

  • The main mess is genres. That is non existent in the folder structure (I do have it: artist > albums), and still very hard with Picard etc. But genres is very convenient for Autoplay, auto generate shuffle playlists

  • Why do you dump your trash in the streets?

    Jump

  • They pick it up, but it takes a while, days or weeks depending on where you dump it. Meanwhile the trash in the streets attracts rodents and vermin. Old electronics end up in the environment, batteries can leak etc.

    I get the smell part. I've "dumped" an opened empty can of fish sometimes, because SO can't stand the smell of it so it can't wait until trash pick-up day. I dumped it IN A TRASHBIN at a busstop, not randomly on the ground between houses, soccer clubs and parks... that's just disgusting. The trashbin at a busstop is emptied very regularly and a lot less accessible to most rodents and vermin, yet a lot more accessible to trash collection service from the city. My inconvenience (bad smell) is so not enough to justify just dumping trash anywhere without any care at all.

    As for the part "they get paid": it costs a city a lot more to keep streets clean when everyone dumps everything everywhere, than to pay for arranged pick-ups. Everyone including you ends up paying the bill anyhow through taxes and/or less service from city in general because budget's too tight.

  • These kinds of people are why we can't have nice things like public barbecues and toilets in city parks and it makes me sad.

  • But WHY don't they care? They were clearly people who themselves like to have clean new clothes, the car was neatly washed et cetera. They like cleanliness for themselves. Why burden others with your trash when the effort to legally and correctly throw it out seems to me barely any more effort than the effort they put in! For the thrill of it?

  • when you're in this situation, i can try to understand, tho i luckily have never experienced this. It sucks and I hope you're better now. But these people i'm ranting about were clearly by far not poor or homeless or socially or economically on the fringes of society, that's the part I find very hard to understand.

  • when i finally thought about taking out the phone camera, it was too late, driving away, license plate is unreadable in the picture. Will try to remember to make pictures sooner if I see someone doing stuff like this again

  • It's free for broken electronics too! Trash it... where it belongs.

  • It is FREE to give old electronic devices at recycling plant. They drove into a little dead-end corner they thought was a "good dumping spot". They had not from this city license plates. Chances are they researched a good spot on maps before driving there. It would have cost them not more effort to drive to the recycling plant and give the vacuum cleaner for free. The recycling plant is literally just a 4 minute drive away from where they dumped it.

  • What do you use for listening to podcasts?

    Jump

  • Best podcast app I've ever used.

    I would only switch to another app if that could remove the ads from downloaded podcasts :')

  • Fujitsu Esprimo here... 50 €, before the extra RAM, SSDs, ... Relatively low power usage, lots of SATA, PCI slots, lots of USB ports... Works very well for all except transcoding. Could put a GPU but it would really make power consumption go up

  • Why not a second hand small "business" or office pc? There are so many on the market now because businesses are replacing because of windows 11, while the hardware runs perfectly fine with Linux for probably many years to come. Buying one of those is cheap and reduces e-waste.

  • Excel

    Jump

  • It's a niche where AI helps because there's just decades of so many forums and videos full of how to do stuff in excel and with AI you get the right answer quicker with less noise around it. I use ai assistance for excel formulas all the time, works pretty good for that.

  • [help] Cheap SSDs for storage

    Jump

  • SSD's as far as I know mainly degrade from writing, not so much from reading or idling. If you fill an SSD, delete all files, write again, delete, etc, that is when they can wear out fast. If you're just stacking on top slowly filling it and occassionally reading from it, it should theoretically last for many years. I don't buy brands i've never heard about before and I read many customer reviews. Slightly higher price for way better reviews wins. Reviews like "it's too slow" are not very relevant to me. Reviews like "I used it twice, got very hot and smelled like fire, broke, lost all my data": those are the important ones. I never buy latest generation tech, I buy older generations. They're cheaper, but more importantly they have more review information available about what you can expect from it slightly longer term.

    I avoid buying anything from aliexpress, amazon, ... out of principle, don't want to support those foreign (Europe) giants. Any other webshop might get my order if they seem okay to me.

  • Laws put in place or abolished also pave the path for the next tyrants.

  • Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees

  • Teams is fine for video calling and screensharing. The mess begins when organisations, as MS encourages them to do, try to embed everything there is into teams. Then it can very fast become a black hole where no one finds anything anymore

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • That ease of outside LAN access poses a big risk tho. Plex can and eventually probably will share, be forced to share, get hacked etc Those cloud accounts imply the possibility of very detailed reports about who's streaming what, when, where, from which source...

  • It's quite easy without docker to get lots of it running with a dietpi install. Runs on rpi and alike, but also on any "normal" old low end pc. Just select jellyfin, arrs, ... It handles it all for you, no need to learn Docker (I know people will argue about the advantages of docker, which are valid points, but ease of installation is more important to many people). The only difficulty remains the streaming outside your own LAN (because it's risky). VPN, tailscale, ... there's options but it always keeps on feeling risky to open up outside LAN. Local setup for jellyfin can be really really easy tho, if it's just for yourself and you mostly watch at home anyway... And in some jellyfin compatible app like Finamp and Streamyfin you can just download a few music albums, episodes or movies to your phone before you travel...
