Encrypt-Keeper

I wasn’t even thinking about self hosted email, but you’re right about that.

You need a DMARC policy, and then dkim or and spf record set up. Without these a lot of email providers will just assume your emails are spam.

The people making good money working “at” these datacenters eat at restaurants thousands of miles away from the towns the datacenters are located. There are very few local datacenters jobs and the ones that are local do not make very good money.

Big scale high compute datacenters need like 15-30 people to operate, not hundreds.

Yes datacenters practically run themselves. Modern datacenters owned and operated by one company are very efficient role wise and need a skeleton crew to operate.

Fastmail

Most people, yeah

He’s right though. Didn’t know Lemmy was so pro PHP lol

From what I understand many Europeans and some Asian countries are stuck using WhatsApp due to its ubiquity and government usage. I’m surprising the GDPR countries went with that over E2EE texting

You didn’t know that when you asked a question to the community that people would answer it? Ok.

So you asked the question rhetorically in bad faith because you just wanted to evangelize Jellyfin, got it. This is exactly why the Jellyfin’s Witnesses have the reputation they do lol

I’m not saying you don’t think it’s polished, I’m saying that if Jellyfin is where you set the bar for what “polished” means to you, then the rest of the open source world is going to blow your mind. Like you have nowhere to go but up from here.

Jellyfin being a duct taped mess on the other hand isn’t part of any subjective opinion, that’s just the state the software is in. Like it’s just missing basic features of its competitors, and has been stuck in relative development hell trying to rework the internals it inherited from Emby.

If you think there’s anything polished about Jellyfin there’s a whole world of open source projects out there for you to discover. The world is your oyster.

It definitely isn’t mature by any measure. It’s been stuck in the process of fixing technical debt and poor design decisions from the project it was forked from for years now and still isn’t finished, though they’ve made some progress in the last couple years. But I’m not sure if they are going to keep the momentum up since several lead maintainers have left the project recently. Jellyfin still hasn’t figured out table stakes features like native intro and credit skipping, OIDC support, etc. There are some devastating bugs that having been around more most of its lifetime too. One they fixed like a month ago was if Jellyfin couldn’t access your media files for even a short period of time, it would delete all media from your playlists and you’d have to recreate them one one.

I wouldn’t call it subjective. The issues that it has are all objectively there, whether or not you’re bothered by them is what’s subjective. If you’re personally ok with all the quirks, bugs, missing features and general lack of polish that plague Jellyfin but not Plex more power to you. But those problems exist regardless, and they are the answer to the question you asked.

Running your own crypto miners doesn’t make sense anymore because the cost of electricity. Running a crypto miner using someone else’s electricity on the other hand…

Because Jellyfin is an ugly, duct-taped-together mess. It’s very utilitarian at best, when everything is working. Ease of use is just not there for your non-technical friends and family.

Invariably whenever you bring any of these issues up, people will come out of the woodwork and tell you “Oh you just have to bolt this thing on or use it in this one specific unintended way in order to get it working halfway towards what you want”.

Heavily disagree. Plex users are more absent minded and don’t really care as long as it works, that’s why they’re still on Plex lol

Nah it’s more like all the sites and services that used blocked links that you have to add to the whitelist or in some cases be able to turn the protection off and on. It’s a regular occurrence for me

Because you have to mess with it all the time. It’s easier to get in and get out to make changes with the nice interface. It’d be different if it was set it and forget it but realistically it’s not.

The main way is it has a built in recursive DNS server so you don’t have to duct tape Pi Hole and Ubound together

Rural American voters weren’t actually the conservative base they are today until relatively recently, at least not in all the same ways we see them today. Through the first half of the 20th century rural mine workers and even agriculturalists all over were part of progressive movements of their time.

A lot of pro AI people like to compare LLMs to calculators but it’s not comparable at all unless the math you’re doing is simple arithmetic. If you’re doing calculus, the skill you’re working on isn’t arithmetic, so the calculator isn’t much of a factor. Lots of people forget how to do long division after using calculators on the other hand.

Losing skills you had because of help? That shouldn’t happen.

That’s exactly what should happen. Cognitive thinking skills are use it or lose it. If you use an LLM to replace your brain, your brain will get worse.
