As with all things email, they probably really wanted to make sure that the mails were delivered and thus were using a commercial MTA to ensure that.

I’d wager, even at 20 or 30 or 40k a year, that’s way less than it’d cost to host infra and have at least two if not three engineers available 24/7 to maintain critical infra.

Looking at my mail, over the years I’ve gotten a couple hundred email from them around certificates and expirations (and other things), and if you assume there’s a couple million sites using these certs, I could easily see how you’d end up in a situation where this could scale in cost very very slowly, until it’s suddenly a major drain.

It means they don’t plan to add support but don’t want to tell you that so it’s “on the radar”.

Wouldn’t hold my breath or expect anything.

Wait, five weeks to change billing providers?

I really really really need to hear the story as to what the fuck happened with their old provider, why they didn’t have the engineering work already done for the new one, and how a trillion dollar company got caught flat-footed in something even a dinky-ass ecommerce site selling kitten hats wouldn’t be.

Excellent. Let’s see if we can knock another 25% off everyone who is doing AI’s stockprices and implode this bubble completely.

(As an aside, I’d also fully support lighting every leather jacket Huang has on fire and forcing him to stop making AI-bullshit GPUs for gamers and then charging $2000 for said AI bullshit.)

Very very little. It’s a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

My personal instance doesn’t cache images since I’m the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don’t have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.

I don’t get how a doctor can fuck that up. The health CRM software shit will pop up a YOU SHOULD NOT DO THIS whenever you start adding drugs that will interact. I mean lazy and stupid I guess, but still, they already HAVE a computer telling them to not do dumb shit.

As it is most doctors barely provide good care anymore.

As someone who nearly died and has seen a plethora of doctors over the last 2 years, you’re not wrong.

The specialists or surgeons have all been knowledgable and good, but the generalists I’ve seen for routine stuff have ranged from barely sentient prescription pad, to actually good.

You probably could replace some of the walking prescription pads with an AI and not lose much, but I wouldn’t trust an AI for anything more complicated than a sore throat, personally.

But where’s the shareholder value in a simple machine reading some colored dots?

2025 food pyramid: glue, microplastic, lead, and larvae of our brainworm overlords.

And frankly, even if he’s not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn’t trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.

It’s the only way they’re going to figure out what he had for breakfast, so what else are they supposed to do?

You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.

Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?

To self-host, you do not need to know how to code.

I agree but also say that learning enough to be able to write simple bash scripts is maybe required.

There’s always going to be stuff you want to automate and knowing enough bash to bang out a script that does what you want that you can drop into cron or systemd timers is probably a useful time investment.

No.

I pirate everything, but am very very reluctant to do so with software or games.

I only pirate in cases where the company involved is just too gross to support (looking at you, Adobe), or if there’s absolutely no other option.

But I consider pirated software and games absolutely suspect 100% of the time, because I’m old enough to remember when every keygen was also a keylogger, and every crack was also a rootkit and touching any pirated software was going to give you computer herpes without fail.

So maybe it’s not that bad anymore, but I mean, do you fully trust in the morals of someone who would spend the time helping you steal someone else’s shit to not add just one more little thing to it for themselves?

loops, whatever the hell that is

FediverseTok, which I expect to get a lot more popular in the US pretty soon.

I don’t disagree, but if it’s a case where the janky file problem ONLY appears in Jellyfin but not Plex, then, well, jank or not, that’s still Jellyfin doing something weird.

No reason why Jellyfin would decide the French audio track should be played every 3rd episode, or that it should just pick a random subtitle track when Plex isn’t doing it on exactly the same files.

As far as it matters for this, a hypervisor is a hypervisor.

I use qemu/kvm because it’s what I’m used to on the linux side, but I don’t think it has any particular feature that makes it more safe compared to like virtualbox or vmware or anything else.

It’s such the best meme, and a thing that so many people need to see at every opportunity so keep posting it.

Yeah, I don’t let anything that has to be cracked out of an isolated VM until it’s VERY clear that nothing untoward is going on.

QEMU has proven perfectly lovely for a base to use for testing questionable software, and I’ve got quite a lot of VMs sitting around for various things that ah, have been acquired.

If you share access with your media to anyone you’d consider even remotely non-technical, do not drop Jellyfin in their laps.

The clients aren’t nearly as good as plex, they’re not as universally supported as plex, and the whole thing just has the needs-another-year-or-two-of-polish vibes.

And before the pitchfork crowd shows up, I’m using Jellyfin exclusively, but I also don’t have people using it who can’t figure out why half the episodes in a tv season pick a different language, or why the subtitles are somtimes english, and sometimes german, or why some videos occasionally don’t have proper audio (l and r are swapped) and how to take care of all of those things.

I’d also agree your thought that docker is the right approach to go: you don’t need docker swarm, or kubernetes, or whatever other nonsense for your personal plex install, unless you want to learn those technologies.

Install a base debian via netinstall, install docker, install plex, done.
