Given the Snowden revelations, what an unfortunate choice of names.

There’s probably a word for it in German or Swedish. I bet it’s long and hard to pronounce, maybe with a non-English pronunciation symbol.

There is of course a relevant xkcd page

I have been loving these

I use an iPad. Apple doesn’t seem to care where the file came from, they just make it readable. I was somewhat mad about it, as I have never been an Apple fan, but the actual experience of using the iPad as a reader converted me.

10+ years, I had really started to generate content the last couple years, and will now forever be at 49.5k karma. I even used the shitty app, but left for good when spez started talking about admiring musk. He’s an unredeemable prick.

I’ve run a number of generations of servers at home. Generally speaking you just need a raid solution of some sort (motherboard solution, external add-on with interface board, what have you), slap an OS on it and adapt your device usage to include it. It depends on what hardware/software you have available to you. That being said, the last two have been synology models. They’re easy to use, and at some level include an external interface to their expansion cab. I can stream straight to my phone and access my server from anywhere and it has tons of other features I’m unclear on how to use, but I’ve seen plex on the install list, and it runs Linux under the hood.

Thanks! It still feels weird, I had my account for a long time and have a fair amount of karma, but the site has been going to shit for a while and enough is enough. This feels like the very early web or fidonet and I’m stoked to be here.

This is actually the reason I’m here on Lemmy now. I love John Oliver but with all the other dark subreddits it was a bit much, and already had been looking into it. Led to Lemmy by too much sexy John Oliver.
