The world is so full of maliciousness that status quo is unable to perceive good faith if it disturbs their immediate comfort. You’re part of the minority that’ve chosen principles and reason over popularity. Voices like yours are critically important to our collective future. You’re understood and have my support.
Unsolicited advice: Don’t push to burn out. They’ll have you rolling in the shit with them. Take breaks often.
I’d never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.
My second session he said, “You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks.”
I told him that there was absolutely no way I’d form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.
We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to “earn” my way back to the machines and free weights.
I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.
For others, the number is 8 “monthly active users”.
As this instance is partially operating on “free” hardware, it’s unlikely one can host an instance for much cheaper.
Would you mind sharing your active user count?
Similar, non-wavelength specific translucent panels were for sale a month ago when I bought my 400W traditional panels. It’s not just feasible. It’s already for sale.

Then can we have meaningful change?
Finally, someone with some sense.
Decentralization is one way, the most accessible by far. Proton is an example of another way. Yet another is to never scale.
Look at Proton, Wikipedia, or the Internet Archive.

History has always been in the hands of the victors. We’ve finally created a significant exception. But, status quo society doesn’t want the responsibility of reasoning out their own decisions or understanding those of others. They’ll believe it best to hand their power back to their oppressors. Even if they believe their oppressors “good”, they’re choosing to enslave greatness to democratic mediocrity. Anything but personal sacrifice.
This makes sense. I had to poke around the UI to figure it out. And, the client occasionally needs rebooted or the cache cleared. I can see how some users would have trouble.
I’d suggest that teaching those users is probably easier than setting up Plex today and then setting up Jellyfin as an emergency service when Plex inevitably begins ad injection or introduces a paywall for local streaming.
Where’s Jellyfin failing the spouse test? My spouse preferred it to Plex because she could turn off all the crap on the home screen.
All those people moving around for work and errands not making choices. They’re in their routine of doing what they’re supposed to do else some event may disturb their “comfort”. It’s scripted by the capitalists. Or, perhaps they’ve been replaced by a computer.
The wise old woman turned off the dream. No matrix for you. No choice as in the movies.

As Lemmy has scaled it’s approaching average. The masses have chosen to demonized minority opinions not for profit, but for short term comfort. They’ll enshitify socially. It’ll be faster than profit max as there’s no delay to begin.
If the pen is mightier, Indy, then the touchscreen keyboard is our elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Obviously it’s not going so well. Be happy we’ve some blasters and expertise laying around. It’s good peace of mind.
Star Wars. They were part of the rebel alliance and traitors to the empire. But, the cops couldn’t hit anything until one of them broke out a shotgun loaded with heat-seeking shot and fired it point blank. Don’t judge too harshly. They can’t see a thing in those helmets.
Most relevant today seems to be the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
Ha, I mean, it’s not like there is a huge buy-in.
If one does the math for an average single income US household, a modest broadband connection is 15-20% of their disposable income. They survive on metered cellular.
If there was a good convenient service again, I’d start using it.
I’ll stay right where I’m at, paying less for more and giving more to content creators of substance, and with the convenience of a stable system.
I’m just a guy.
