There are custom themes out there that change the interface.
Right click -> identify-> Title name, has yet to fail me.
Its been a long time since i used plex so I can’t say how much “easier” its over there but compared to the days before streaming this little upfront work takes less time then going to a physical store to rent.
Maintenance takes no work and it cant be enshitificated (someone will just port it)
This is a legit official site??
This is an article on “the biggest political scandal in presidential history” not only does presidential use of autopen go back for decades, it reads like it was written by ai.

The most of twisted part of this is how fucked up do you need to be to make an absolute monster call you evil beyond belief.
Q: Why support Israel if jews hate christians?
A: Leveraging alliances for U.S. benefit, (fake) peace in Gaza makes us look good. Theological differences don’t prevent collaboration on shared interests.
Why bad answer: Failed to adres the antisemitism
Article does not deserve a click, fascists be fascists. The person who asked the question is the broken clock showing the right time by asking a good question for still wrong reasons and got a default calculated answer.
Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.
I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.
Its a proven open source vpn.
As far as a little research went. Twingate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailscale/headscale or netbird.
Wouldn’t that be metagaming?
I know general game mechanics pretty well to perceive many things a character would not know. I am pretty sure that in the spirit of roleplay i have to adjust to my characters Stats.
In the example it would be Elon rolling their deception against my intelligence/perception, which whatever skill the Dm decides is most relevant. Also because the game Master is always right and has the final say as an actual dictator.
The player abuse and sex stuff just seems like a consent issue. There are probably groups that are into that just like there are many that don’t. A good Dm and play group should communicate beforehand if they allow such things and also respect peoples wish to stop playing if they are uncomfortable.
They can also use the x-card system
An excuse used to commit atrocities before was that it was not illegal because it happend outside their legal jurisdiction.
This situation opens up a ton more wiggle room.
That could be a simple, well we didn’t do the illegal acts, they did and they are under their own nations jurisdiction (as is often the case for military on foreign land)
Or a more complex secret trade of prisoners where detained from Qatar are brought to the US for their soldiers to practice legal torture while Americans are send to Qatar where US troops also commit legal torture.
It does not need to make total sense as long as the question can be spun around “how is this legal” as a distraction for the actual ethical horrors they purposely employ.
If you can boot an os from usb (basically the same for all distros) you can try proxmox.
There are these incredibly useful helper scripts that setup entire services in 1-2 copy pasted commands.
https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them
Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.
Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.
Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc
Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.
For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a Big gpu to some services).
A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.
A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.
Never heard of this one but i might try it. Looks very clean and practical.
A psychiatrist might suggest “do not take more on your plate then you can handle”
Too broad and it will just be ignored as general activism. Even if rfk remains the message has more effect by being focused on their domain off expertise.
The technical term seems to be a JBOD bay. (Just a Bunch Of Disks)
Basic ones are probably usb, ideally you have something that has a SFF port. Modern ones might also have thunderbolt.
Finding a micropc that supports SFF out of the box might be a challenge but some do support pci express cards.
Apparently there also exists something like Oculink which is pci over cable but i know even less about that one.
EDIT: if you look for “Nas enclosure 4bay” you actually do find plenty of options (Jonsbro N3 per example) that allow you to build it all in one unit with a mini-itx board. A nas pretty much just is a pc with special software so this would be what i recommend.
Maybe i miss some perspective here because i never had the spare money to consider a storebought nass. The convenience never sounded like it was worth being locked down to its software.
My server is “just a pc”
I got a case with external drive slots (it also needed to fit a gpu), but i suppose external drive cases also exist that can connect to a micro computer build.
The software is proxmox, which imo is amazing. Its virtualisation and backup software and performs really well and has a proper gui.
I have numerous lxc (linux container that is not a full vm) that each run their own docker with a single service. I can ssh into those from my main system or visit the terminal and other panels in the proxmox gui. Many services host a gui to my network and i could probably make it so cli is minimal but i personally am comfortable with that so…
I also run a few full vms on it, including some windows desktops.
You could probably also host actual Nass software this way.
All of these work well next to eachother and share resources. Snapshots and backups of individual systems or data can be made with ease.
If it doesn’t fit your usecases you can get the off the shelf ones i guess but for others interested here, maybe this helps.
One side becomes staff, one side becomes spear.
Its rather unwieldy.
Ironically to this being a shitfest of a regime i have always loathed how elections are a popularity contest.
Good social and connecting skills can be important but they will never be more important than a healthy intelligence and a passion to simply do good, build a good society for all.
Continue to self host, create a yearly backup on external harddrive which you keep offline at a trusted family members house.
My headcanon is that Luigi did plant his own evidence as a distraction in sympathy of the real shooter.
Half truth make the best lies, US intelligence can tell you all about it but they won’t.
I wish more projects did stuff like this.
It just feels silly and unprofessional while being seriously useful. Exactly my flavour of software, makes the web feel less corporate.
