Ok, this is actually a helpful answer. I can appreciate what you mean by setting things up in docker and using a front end. I’ve done some of this on my Synology, but I try to avoid Docker because I don’t fundamentally understand what I’m doing, I’m mostly just following some tutorial I found online.

Home is fine for now. The problem with SSH is I don’t want to run everything with CLI

Sponsorblock does this with just regular I, not AI. E.G. crowdsourcing the sponsored segments

Of course! That’s when the engine is going to over heat. If you’re hot, they’re hot

But every ad on every episode of every podcast can be different. Right now with pocket cast, I skip ahead 30 seconds at a time then go back 10 seconds. But I’d rather automate it

Use an alias either through Proton, simple login (which Proton bought), or Mozilla

They should put the block in place before the law gets written to rally support against it

I have a Synology NAS, and while their Synology Photos is really good, it’s no match for Google Photos. It’s not their fault though, any self-hosted solution is going to be harder to share photos and do collaborative albums and such. And Google Photos image and face recognition is just not matched. I backup my entire photo library to Synology Photos but most of them are also in Google Photos for ease of access and sharing.

Have multiple accounts and rotate through them with each post. But then you have to make sure all of your followers are following all accounts. It’s a shitty workaround but it’s a shitty platform to begin with.

Then we change the standard in the future

No

It will be worse than lost on them, they’ll figure out a way to use it against him. Maybe it shows weakness or something. I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to turn it around. There are Subreddit full of people working on it.

Dude, you want more streaming services?

Oooo good call. Thanks.

Is there a Google tv app?

I have some room to optimize my torrenting setup but it’ll never be as good as watching the trailer for a show and immediately with one button push, watching the show itself. I mean, fiddling on my phone and waiting 10 mins is the best it’s gonna get, but that’s still better than going over to my always-on, old laptop whose only job it is to torrent, finding the one I want, waiting for it to download, then moving it over to my Plex server.

But it’s not complely free shipping. It’s $140/year free shipping. So depending on how often you need something tomorrow, you could come out ahead even without Prime. That’s what I’m weighing now. Streaming is close to a solved problem, it’s the shipping I’m on the fence about.

Same, I have a handful of streaming services (mostly split with other households) because it’s easier to watch something right now than in 10 mins at the absolute minimum, or tomorrow, depending on the current status of high seas shipping lanes. But I’m not fucking watching ads. I’m paying for the service, fuck your ads.

I just wish they’d split off streaming from shipping.

Didn’t they go bankrupt?

I also work for the federal government. So I know that the work that your colleagues are not around anymore to do will ultimately have to get outsourced to Boeing, BO, Raytheon, etc and with all of the acquisition overhead and profits the contractors are building in, it ends up costing the taxpayers more to do the same work. More even than the differential of the salaries that your former colleagues are enjoying.
