Self-hosted is one of the subreddits I visited most often, so very interested in having a lively alternative on lemmy.

Why not use the *Arr stack + Plex (or Jellyfin) to automate your media? Download stuff automatically in the quality you specify.

It's hilarious how you managed to land in the Unabomber segment in a 5h30m video. The funny coincidences of life.

You mentioned this elsewhere, but for those who don't know xyz 1.111B class are incredibly cheap numerical xyz domains.

Google domains served me well before Google decided to kill it.... oh well....

I really like your site's color scheme, fonts, and overall aesthetics. Very nice!

That was a wild read. The 4chan guys can write better dystopias than Hollywood.

Oh, hmm. Radarr uses themoviedb to show you a calendar of when a movie will be released digitally. If you go to a movie in themoviedb there's a dropdown menu above the movie poster that says 'Overview', select 'Release Dates' there and you'll be able to see when it comes out digitally (meaning streaming services). Before that date it's a guarantee you won't find anything but cams.

I wonder if there's something that can be done in Seren to filter out those cams... Perhaps a blacklist with some words like 'cam'?

I have wikipedia surface level knowledge about him. It's george hots. The guy that got sued by Sony for jailbreaking the playstation something; also jailbreaked the iphone; founded comma.ai which develops software (openpilot) and sells hardware for making a car into a "self driving" one (more like assistive driving). He was/is a bit of a celebrity.

Unfortunately the elephant in the room with I2P for torrenting is speed, given its routing nature. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen it discussed in the past and how people were complaining about dial-up speeds. In your experience, what have your speeds been like? What's your average download speed? I'm guessing lower than 100kbps?

If it's that slow, do you think it's a problem of not enough peers... or of the routing protocol that needs to happen for privacy?

I have recently been playing with VMs in Unraid and in the video tutorials I've seen they talk about about grouping together (by editing xml file) the video with audio that comes the GPU to avoid that error[1]. Also about passing a modified BIOS. Are those the workarounds been talked about here?

I use a headband to keep my hair backwards and even using something as light as that becomes irritating after prolonged periods of time. I'd have to try it, but I'm leaning towards thinking I'd be super annoying for extensive use.

I really liked Warsow, an online FPS with a cartoonish style. I really liked how you were able to set a greyish texture for the map and bright red/green for enemies/teammates... It's like the texture pack I always wished I had in Quake2. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people play it anymore.

There's also a financial problem here. Money is needed to scale vertically or horizontally. Are the admins of lemmy.ml paying out of pocket currently? With current donations would they be able to scale?

I still don't fully get how the federated thing works. Would it help with scaling and keeping costs low for lemmy.ml? I know you offload the user creation and frontend stuff to another server, but say if I use anotherlemmy.xyz to mainly interact with communities of lemmy.ml would that take a significant load off of lemmy.ml?

Does anybody know what will happen with the Gmail integration? I was able to create a wildcard alias for my domain and used it quite a bit to register to websites using [email protected], instead of the trick of using RFC 5233.... Made dealing with spam and knowing which website leaked your email a breeze.

Any alternatives you guys suggest?
