If you are concerned about HDDs failing, I would try the nvme instead. For me, I have a 1tb external HDD connected to my server-laptop. It’s definitely an eye-sore but my server is basically on the shelf out of the way and I SSH into the server 99% of the time unless it goes down.
The HDD is not blazingly fast by any means, but I stream jellyfin videos which is great. There is maybe a 1-2 second pause before a movie starts, but there are no noticeable buffering after, even @ 1.75 speed
Here’s my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I’m guessing
Currently binging the backlog as we speak. They just hit Covid lol
‘The Rest is History’ is how I’ve been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts
If you have a spare laptop/phone, I’d find a good tutorial and start there and then venture towards new hardware as your needs require it. Personally, I bought a (used) laptop when my main laptop wouldn’t boot, but then I wiped my malfunctioning laptop and it started working again. I’ve been using the used laptop as a server ever since.
Personally, I have yet to find something that I couldn’t self-host on the laptop and still don’t quite grasp why I’d need a heavier-powered device.
Nothing like some crowdsourced help to fine-tune the google search for your kink.
Same. I’m on Debian tho so I’ve got ~6 months until it affects me :D
IIRC, the music industry was in decline long before Spotify was made. The transition period before Spotify was just illegally downloading everything through Limewire/Kazaa/Napster etc.
Also, the reason podcasts make money is because they can produce something that brings audiences in on a weekly basis. The music industry OTOH has artists that make an album a year or less. It’s not as sustainable and it’s harder to sell ads against.
I don’t think more segmentation is a wanted solution by consumers either. Consumers would much rather use one app for all platforms than have to buy a different streaming service every time they want to listen to a new album.
True.
I think that as we move towards shorter and shorter clips/tweets, there’s an assumed prior context that is often missing. For example, Borat or Stephen Colbert’s character on The Daily Show are clear caricatures but when you have a 5-second clip out of context, it actually feeds into the narrative it is ridiculing.
The same goes for naming cosplaying an elected official.
I can’t speak to 5G but my Mint 4G service was non-existent when I was at a concert. It was otherwise great the other 99.99% of the time fwiw. Been a user for ~7 years
That’s the frustrating thing about the current internet climate. In a time when less and less people are interested in researching the backstory of a tweet/policy/person, things like this are shared w/o context. Had to go down a rabbit hole to realize it’s a fake satire writer.
How does the duopoly have full control if Republicans have the majority in the House/Senate/Supreme Court?
Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro
Your reaction to the uncertainty that comes w/ quitting your job is normal. IMO that is the aspect to investigate and try to accept what is and what isn’t within your control
I also expected better from The Guardian. This feels like it should be a sentence in a Wikipedia page not an article that introduces her to the public
Thanks for the update!
It’s audio-specific but I use Audiobookshelf’s RSS feed
I have a local folder where I put downloaded youtube audio and the RSS feed updates automatically when new files are placed there. Then, I access it through Lissen or the official audiobookshelf app.
Reading books in the elevator got me a promotion from working in the call center -> becoming an analyst. Changed my life trajectory. The VP of Finance saw the books I was reading, we had a brief convo and then he offered me a job the next week.
Second most interesting one is I bought $180 worth of option calls on Heinz Ketchup, and then they randomly got bought out by Warren Buffett. I think it was a total of $28k in profits at a time when I was making maybe 30-40k/year
Any plans for a docker container?
I popped and locked back in the day and can do the wave w/ my arms. I end up doing it on like 80% of first dates that are going well.
