Why not

More expensive

This Anker does all of the above. Its switching speed is 10ms, so it fits the UPS niche as well.

Meanwhile, I’ve had nothing but trouble with consumer APC and find Cyberpower’s bullet proof. Had one that went 10yrs before any issues, and a second with 3+ and counting, no problem.

An alternative to both is the burgeoning battery banks for camping/emergency power. Most of these offer UPS quality switching times, so they can act as a UPS when not in use for an emergency. Ecoflow/ anker solix/etc. A big advantage of these is the battery chemistry is very long lived and much better than UPS lead acid. Dont expect a pure sinewave, but you weren’t going to get that from most consumer UPS anyway.

You can sue anyone for any reason in the US. It does not mean you will win.

That’s also a civil action, not a criminal one. A disagreement in contract law, i.e not something that is illegal.

The actual fiduciary duty executives have is to be beholden to their board and shareholders. They can still decide to make long term and humane choices in guiding their companies. That is their remit, they all just pretend not to have it so they can kill people and destroy lives for personal profit.

It’s a fiduciary duty, not a legal one. It’s an expected act, but no law says they must maximize profits at any cost.

Its an expectation that can be changed and tempered like any other, but the rich class doesn’t want to own up to deciding to destroy people’s lives for their profit, so they hand wave and pretend like someone made them do it.

Maybe a few more bullets will debase them of this clearly reckless belief.

Unattended updates are pretty easy to setup in ubuntu, even without configuration management.

Brackets are lobbied for. You cant lobby a straight line.

Interest was paused for 3+ years due to covid.

Tailscale has an technical article on this if you are starting from scratch.

If you can’t install tailscale on the pi-hole directly, you can also use a subnet router and a /32 with just that address to expose it to tailscale.

The jpeg is strong, but if you look closely she is covered with scabs and sores.

How ami I going to do version control without being able to email myself “Newcode-today-new-newist-morenew-actuallynew-latest.txt?”

Uptime on my old exchange servers roughly matched my ISPs uptime. O365 uptime is now : My ISPs - 0365s uptime. Real improvement there.

But hey, now when email goes down I just point to their admin dashboard and shrug at people. It’s a lot simpler once you get over how much harder it is.

Ehh, i get it. I live in the same world.

Still, I would lean in if my org asked me to stand up a mastodon instance.

Taking on tech debt is pretty common thing for IT. We spend all day standing up services for various internal orgs.

Mature orgs should be able to automate deploy of services like mastodon, so depending on various factors it’s not that big of an ask.

Ohh yeah, it’s very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.

Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.

Hmm, not using finamp. I’m pretty happy with Synfonuim.

Cant speak to that aspect.

Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex’s.

The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

Can’t speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.

Vim doesn’t hate you. It loves who you could be.
