Big tech about to erupt into a civil war over whether or not they got into the AI slop bubble early.

i play the coop/ai games for this reason lmao

I hope we see a blossoming of high quality open source games. Beyond all Reason is looking towards a Steam release within the year or so and it’s really impressive how much love can be put into a game that is run almost entirely by donations!

It looks like a very basic screening tool to block suspicious file extensions from being uploaded/downloaded. I wouldn’t read (pun intended) into it too much, but it does mean you might have to work around it via sending epubs as zips or something. I doubt they bother scanning the contents of archives.

in terms of the fight against AI slop this is terrible news. in the fight to access information media freely forever this is almost… good news?

Yeah they really like to act like they’re giving away £50k on a whim and not paying someone for their labour.

I’d probably do a clean install (eventually) even if it looked like stuff works for now.

I know the pain, though. did rm -rf in the wrong directory and wiped half my drive in seconds. Good times.

no fucking way

Never play R&C but this is more like Portal deathmatch I think?

Yeah even if you’re someone who is super concerned about Jellyfin’s API safety, it’ll likely be less maintenance setting them up on tailscale than duplicating the streaming hardware. But that’s assuming OP’s family are as tech illiterate as mine

I have two 4TB in Raid 10 (ZFS Mirror) and two 8TB as the same. All in TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS is pretty good for a basic setup imo!

I would consider creating a swapfile if you have an SSD. There should be countless tutorials for doing it on Ubuntu.

It might mean your windows or Ubuntu install gets sluggish, but even 32GB (less than 10% of a typical storage drive!) of spare swap space can let your active and memory-hogging processes breathe instead of invoking the SystemD-OOM killer. Also, it’s essentially free! You’ll benefit from more RAM though.

For what it’s worth, I think Ubuntu is also fairly aggressive with memory management. I remember complaints that it was a little too hasty to kill user processes under memory-limited scenarios. not sure if that was addressed

Yup. I got our QA guy to help debug it and he was like “maybe just dont upgrade the dodgy dependency and delete your cache” lmfao yup fixed it

spend a week trawling github and documentation pages only to realise you forgot to delete your cached dependencies

Rsync to a Hetzner storage box. I dont do ALL my data, just the nextcloud data. The rest is…linux ISOs… so I can redownload at my convenience.

Box64 helps a lot with ARM compatibility, but yes less compatible than a comparable 3.2k gaming PC on x86

You’re not paying for software maintenance, you’re paying a subscription service to a private company that has already decided to cut back on features that others also thought they were paying to maintain.

If you want to actually pay for software maintenance, migrate to Jellyfin and pay them instead, rather than filtering your payments through middle managers and shareholders first.

What version do you run?👀👀

to medicine > to crack

You’d download legit trial versions of adobe shit and use GenP to disable the trial and call home functionalities. Brilliant bit of kit before I moved to Linux.
