  • One thing to consider with NFS is how stable your network is.

    I’ve moved away from storing application files on my NAS and instead I store them locally where I run the application.

    For things like jellyfin media or paperless files they can stay on the NAS and be accessed via NFS, but the config, db and other files the apps create as part of their operation, things can get into a bad state if the network drops at an unexpected time.

    Instead I setup backup cronjobs that backup those files to the NAS nightly.

    I agree with the other commenters regarding using the NFS share mounting right in docker compose. It does work great once you get it working.


  • Sponsors pay more upfront. If creators are only using sponsors than their whole back catalogue is basically valueless. If it costs a creator 2-10 cents a month to host a video (based off S3 pricing), but they only made 1000$ on it upfront when the video was made, overtime the back catalogue becomes a pretty significant financial burden if it’s not being monetized

    Also it’s worth keeping in mind that many people are also using tools to autoskip sponsor spots, and the only leverage creators have for being paid by sponsors are viewership numbers.

    Patreon is irrelevant, that’s just like Nebula, floatplane etc, it’s essentially a subscription based alternative to YouTube.

    Discoverability is pointless if the people discovering you aren’t going to financial contribute. It’s the age old “why don’t you work for me for free, the exposure I provide will make it worth your time”, that hasn’t been true before and likely isn’t here. Creators aren’t looking to work for free (at least not the ones creating the high quality content we’re used to today)






  • This isn’t completely true, but it is the current standard.

    A website can detect and block many user/password attempts from the same IP and block IPs that are suspicious.

    Websites can detect elivated login fails across many IPs are react accordingly (It may be reasonable to block all logins for a time if they detect an attack like this)

    I’m sure there are other strategies, I don’t know how often they are actually employed, but I wish companies would start taking this sort of attack more seriously (even if it’s not at all hacking)



  • I work on an ARM Mac, it’s fine. If you’re just doing light work on it, it works great! Like any other similarly priced laptop would.

    Under load, or doing work outside what it is tuned for, it doesn’t perform spectacularly.

    It’s a fine laptop, the battery life is usually great. But as soon as you need to use the x86 translation layer, performance tanks, battery drains, it’s not a great time.

    Things are getting better, and for a light user, It works great, but I’m much more excited about modern x86 laptop processors for the time being.





  • What emergency safety features? Making a 911 call?

    The last time a major weather event happened it was really hard to get updated information, the power was out, internet was down. I only had an old battery powered radio that still had an FM tuner.

    As time passes fewer and fewer devices have the FM tuners, and it’s less and less likely I have spare working batteries for them. A phone on the other hand, I’m already setup with backup batteries I can use to recharge it, I don’t need to be as “prepared” to be able to stay up to date if it could still pick up the radio


  • Comparing Google to Microsoft in the early 2000s is not pointless at all. Back then it was Microsoft who had the monopoly on all technology, they controlled IE, the most used browser in the world, and they controlled the main operating system that people used.

    When Google started Chrome they worked with other large companies to work on building web standards, many of the super important technology behind the scenes that make the modern internet work were developed at least partially by Google in collaboration with other major industry interests.

    Android also had a huge impact here. These days people accessing the internet on phones is common practice, but once again Google pioneered many of the standards now used to allow build applications that run decently well on phones and can interface with the web.

    And those are just two major projects you’ve likely heard of. Google created a lot of tech that is used behind the scenes:

    • Kubernetes was created by Google and they have transfered ownership away from themselves.
    • Golang is a wildly popular development language that they developed and open source.
    • Related to android, but google is also a major contributor back to the Linux kernel.
    • Google is also a major player in online security proactively finding security flaws in critical web services and applications and working with relevant parties to resolve them.
    • Google essentially developed http2.
    • Google was heavily involved in developing HTML5 (which really was essential for our modern websites)
    • Google’s open source V8 JavaScript engine is used in node.js (another super popular web development language). I think it still uses V8, but I haven’t used nodejs in years.

    I’m not saying you shouldn’t try to use Google products less, but this case you’re ignoring just how much Google helped save us from Microsoft’s monopoly. And regardless how much control Google has now, it’s far less then the control Microsoft had, and a large part of that is because Google has been more open with their technology and more willing to work to better the entire industry (yes they were likely aware that making the whole tech space better would also help them, but i have a hard time feeling that’s malicious)

    This was my experience too. Ubuntu asks if I want to install the docker snap, I say sure. I then try to use docker and it’s completely unable to do what I need. I then need to figure out how to uninstall the snap and then install docker normally.

    I tried a few snaps, but everytime they were a pain in the ass and I regretted it. Now I avoid them at all costs
