Note that Plex is against Cloudflare’s ToS. No guarantee they will terminate your account, but it’s a risk.

Could also consider Tailscale.

They sent me an email saying my account was idle (an always on Wireguard for Plex).

I converted to the Pay As You Go plan, and I was good. And it was still free.

Ew. I bet it’s filled with nerds. Like me.

(Also, my wife probably wouldn’t be thrilled if I used this.)

EDIT: Dang it, Lemmy. This post is 2 years old.

I’m a simple man.

Probably why they’re sending out emails right now saying they’re transitioning to mandatory 2FA…

No doubt Threads-related…

Quite a few people on here really go off-the-rails when it comes to .world not coming out and outright blocking it before it’s a thing. (while also forgetting it affects Mastodon, and not-so-much Lemmy)

Probably.

Though it was the official Mastodon container, and not a third party.

If you do use Docker, Mastodon seems to be a prime example of where you shouldn’t use the : latest tag and autoupdate with something like Watchtower.

I initially installed with :latest a few days ago and it gave me 4.1.3 (the actual latest version had been 4.1.4 for quite awhile at that point). I saw other people mention that they “updated” to a 3.x release via :latest recently.

To be totally honest, I’d prefer if Lemmy stuck to Lemmy, Mastodon stuck to Mastodon, etc…

Having structurally incompatible types of sites linking into each other is almost always messy. Sharing info between them is accomplished by just giving an URL more often than not.

Rsnapshot to an external USB drive.

Probably not the best, but it works for my little 6TB OpenMediaVault server with some Docker thrown in.

If you liked the gameplay of this, you should really try Hi-fi Rush.

Not a huge deal for watching h265, since Plex still just transcodes to h264 (if it ever needs to transcode).

But it’s nice if you use something like tDarr to convert your h264s to h265.

But, just the overall improvement in speed/quality is nice when you jump up a generation in QuickSync.

7th-9th Gen uses a newer version of QuickSync than 6th gen had, which adds h265 encoding and better overall image quality.

I’d lean toward one of the 7th gen CPUs if you’re using Plex.

🤷

On the other end, there’s also the Executive Monkey aspect.

At some point, fighting every battle has a toll. See the decline in the population’s mental health as activism increases.

As an apathetic Gen-X’er, I just acknowledge that I’ll never make it so everything is exactly the way I want it to be. Some stuff just sucks. And so do I.

Yes, I know… But there’s no need for Meta to extinguish Mastodon if we do it ourselves?

And this is how you gut the Fediverse… Don’t even give people the option to run their own single-user instance to avoid the drama. Defederate them, too. Splinter everything into oblivion.

EDIT: Seriously. As someone who isn’t a hardcore militant FOSS federation activist, this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to throw up my hands and say, “Screw it. I guess I’ll go sign up at Threads.”

I’d been floating a similar idea for MAME arcade high scores.

Currently, when I play a game on my arcade cabinet, the marquee image gets a date and the game’s name stamped on it by ImageMagick, then gets uploaded so it can display on my blog. (yes – I haven’t played since March… I should really play on my cab more)

I kind of wanted to automate a high score list on my blog. Though I’m fairly sure that’s going to be considerably more work.

Imgur is preparing to wipe old uploads that aren’t linked to an account…

In my case, that’s pretty much every image I ever uploaded to Reddit using Sync for Reddit.

I won’t lie… their prices actually don’t look half bad. Dot com is ten bucks a year instead of the $14 I’m giving Namecheap…
