Plex has a few more features with plex pass.

However I switched to jellyfin a few years ago because I found everything to be too limiting and dependent on them. Including the necessity to pay for codecs / playback on some of their mobile apps.

Jellyfin is a lot less polished, but it works well and you're in control of everything.

I would recommend trying out jellyfin first. If you encounter some deal breaking issue or aren't happy with it, check our plex.

Yeah it's even more ridiculous when you apply this logic to sponsored segments.

It's an ad, I skip it by seeking in the video, therefore it is piracy?

Also, people get arrested and fined for piracy where I live (because it is, well, illegal), so people blocking ads should go to prison?
When the face of LMG talks about things like this in a main channel video they should look into the consequences of the opinion they present.

Excuse the language, but what the actual fuck was Linus thinking?

Like what is the actual end goal here?
Linus says people should be punished for blocking ads, and the best way he thinks it should be executed is by law enforcement? Last time I checked that is how illegal actions are usually handled.

86 connections with 83 of those being active docker containers.

Edit: If you need anything for diagnostics I'll happily provide it.

Restarting does help but sometimes I still get 3GB spikes, but it drops back down after a while instead of increasing.

I think my environments might be a bit too large for the app to handle. I have ~90 docker containers running on one of my servers and it seems to be really struggling with it it. Generally I've been having some performance issues (clicking on anything has a 1-3 second delay) which appear to be amplified by the number of active containers and clients.

Memory usage increases to infinity, this is a snapshot after launching the program and having it open a shell.

It's a really cool idea though and I like the UI and the ability to browse file systems via gui without having to map a network drive.

The best msedge era for me was just as vertical tabs came out.

The Browser was really slim, hat some interesting UI Design choices that set it apart from chrome.

Nowadays it has so many adware elements and pointless settings that I don't really enjoy using it anymore.

My day to day browser is ff and I'm mainly using chromium based browsers for development and compatibility checks, as well as on my laptop to save power when watching videos.

Yeah what the hell is going on?

There was a lawsuit and in Windows 7 Microsoft was forced to offer a browser choice program that allowed users to pick different ones.

Nowadays everyone just forgot about that?
Browser lock in is worse than it ever has been since the 2000s and is approaching levels of monopolistic behavior we haven't seen since the internet explorer vs Netscape debacle, if not already worse than that.

Every ecosystem forces their own browser and the only way to circumvent it is with hacks.

To access certain one drive elements on android in the browser with Firefox, it tells you to open the page in chrome to proceed. If you do that, the Microsoft login page then asks specifically for using edge to sign in.

It's insane that nobody cares. I went back to Firefox as soon as manifest v3 was announced, but nobody cares.

It's alarming and once people realize what happened it's too late.

That sums it up really well.

I generally tend to try to use containers for everything and only branch out to VMs if it doesn't work or I need more separation.

This is my general recommendation as containers are easier to set up and in my opinion individual software packages are easier to maintain with things like compose. I have limited time for my self hosted instance and that took away a lot of work, especially when updating.

I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't say it was pointless as a whole. Maybe it's because I'm looking at it from a slightly different perspective.

Karma did help push engagement, in fact, the system worked.
People cared about this number, and started to optimize their behavior such that they receive the largest amount of karma in the shortest time.
Since being active by posting / commenting facilitated getting karma, it helped produce a lot of content and made people interact with each other.

The problem with that is that it wasn't tied to quality (and couldn't be). As you said, that encouraged regurgitating the same meta over and over. It never incentivized good content, just quantity.

So my conclusion would be more like: Karma was pointless for animating users to create good and thoughtful content.
Instead it helped driving engagement forward, but at the cost of somewhat turning people into bots.

Posts receiving upvotes / downvotes is okay, but I'm not sure in what way reputation - or karma - should be displayed for a user account, publicly or privately.

That seems cool. I'll definitely try that out, thanks for sharing!

Already using sponsor block and that saved me quite a bit of time!

That's always the one I'm thinking of when anyone mentions the xkcd.

npm is one crazy infrastructure.

That is absolutely fantastic news!
