I didn’t say fallacy. I said sunk cost. I’m not judging. It’s a legitimate sunk cost if it is indeed rationally better to keep using it rather than stopping.

After 22 hours and 291 comments, I can see that 80% is sunk cost, 15% never bothered to look at their Jellyfin client’s settings, and the rest use a device that doesn’t have a client for Jellyfin yet.

When setup with tunnels, cloudflare doesn’t see any media traffic. Cloudflare only needs to serve the auth and handshakes. The actual traffic is IP to IP, TLS encrypted if you setup a domain correctly. Or just use something like tailscale that sets up the certificates and domains for you.

You have a VPS that relays the pangolin tunnel and a reverse proxy serving the tunnel through a cloudfare + fail2ban protected domain. It should be really cheap since the vps only really runs for the initial auth and connection, and once in a while to update the tunnel IPs. You just give people a domain and a credential for the client.

It sounds complicated but isn’t really. I did it once but then returned to plain tailscale since I don’t really share my server with many people.

That’s a per client behavior. Wholphin for Android, for example, does it the Plex way.

My chances of sharing a Plex library with grandma are also zero. I would still have to set it up for her. That’s a non argument.

Magnitude matters in a system designed to reward rich people. You can’t afford rent, so you will have to settle for sleeping in your car. Altman can’t afford a $100MM house, so he will have to settle for sleeping in a $20MM house.

Poverty in the end is about lack of access to better conditions of living. Some people are running away from war zones with nothing but the clothes they have on. They are broke, but they’re not “can’t live in the metropolitan area of NY and has to settle for the suburbs” kind of broke.

It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps.

Most likely. Some fossils are, although very hard, rather brittle as well.

From the crowd that came up with gems as “bank accounts are citizenship”, “transactions are free speech” and “attorney fees are justice”. Comes the latest madness “tax is a hate crime”.

I didn’t make clear, that I mean using something for measuring really large distances, like the length and width of a large building’s base. A typical measure stick would have less stretching than rope, sure, but would also be tedious to measure with. Counting the spins of a wheel as you roll it is trivially easy and quick in comparison. Wood warps, but not really that much.

The spoke of the wheel is the same length used to measure the blocks. Other comments here have gone into detail. If the height of the blocks is the same as the diameter or radius of the wheel used to measure the base, then the relations will always be some function of pi. You don’t have to know any definition of pi for this to always be geometrically true.

Wheels are always a fraction of pi. Whether you like it or not. Lengths of string can be arbitrary, but a circle’s dimensions are always tightly related to and proportional to pi in some way. I also recall that wheel measurements are more precise for large scale building because, unlike rope, leather and cloth, a wooden wheel doesnt stretch. Two wheels made similar will stay more between a much tighter error factor than two pieces of rope. The rope might start at the same length but will deform differently as they are used.

We used purpose made floor pedals on the sociology research office to control a transcription software. It allowed precise control over a voice recording so any of us lowly students could quickly transcribe interviews and focus groups without removing the hands from the home row of the keyboard. It was already 30 years old technology by the time I got to college. It was apparently first invented for work with actual tape players.

First time on Lemmy?

Any security system based on expecting good behavior from people is sure to fail. If NPM has no estructural features to enforce safe behaviors, it is vulnerable by default. As no person using it will apply safe practices unless forced to. Specially if the default, easiest, less friction behavior, is inherently unsafe.

The RAE is not a prescriptive institution at all. They fight people on social media over that. They’re not shaming anyone for spelling a word different, just describing what the language users are doing.

You sound like the kind of person who beat up black people because they don’t speak good enough according to you.
