Audiobookshelf for audiobooks, calibre-web for ebooks. Don’t try to get it to get one thing that does both well, you’re better off with two solutions that are both better at their respective thing.

So, from what I’ve read, and you’re welcome to correct me if I’m wrong on any of the facts here, your DAO operates using a governance token that can be traded on crypto markets.

If that’s the case, those are just grey-market voting shares. All you’ve done is create a corporation and sell shares, while avoiding all of the legal protections that would be afforded to your shareholders if you actually went through the process of creating a corporation and holding an IPO.

So, based on those facts as I understand them, I guess I’d say I have two problems.

1. Voting power decided by buying power is about the most undemocratic system possible short of autocracy.
2. Obfuscating the purpose and structure of your organization to either intentionally or unwittingly dodge regulations that would protect your shareholders is not a great look.

Honestly, I’m the idiot here for not immediately assuming this was somehow about attacking trans people.

God I hope they do. It’ll be hilarious to watch how quickly all the incels turn on Trump. Not to mention all the married Conservatives who hate their wives.

Translation; He feels bad now that Trump is fucking over Canada instead of fucking over [insert whoever he doesn’t like here].

I’m a little confused on this point. I took a look at their whitepaper and it says that they’re not using blockchain at all. It’s some sort of proprietary (edit: apparently open source) peer to peer algorithm. Is this something that changed in implementation? I’m not really familiar with this project so I’m certainly not trying to defend anything, just unclear as to why people are calling it a blockchain project specifically.

Edit: OK, after some more digging I see what people are talking about. The project itself isn’t blockchain based, but it’s run by a DAO that operates using a governance token, which is not exactly great.

Who are definitely real people and not his sock puppet accounts.

Jesus Christ, he’s still alive?! I haven’t heard that name in years.

For those not blessed with the knowledge of our divine Lord and saviour Derek Smart, God’s gift to fame designers, oh boy, grab your popcorn, this is going to be good.

And by “good” I mean that whatever Derek has come up with will manage to be the most objectively terrible version of that thing possible, and he will aggressively defend it as the greatest thing that has ever happened in the history of everything, ever.

Yeah, there’s no question that Putin helped to get Trump elected because he, like any halfway intelligent person, could see the damage he would do.

It’s the notion that Trump is checking in weekly asking for new orders that annoys the shit out of me.

Also, I will be stealing “Fire-and-forget idiot”, that is fucking excellent.

An invasion of Greenland, or Canada, wouldn’t necessarily be unlawful.

Remember 9/11? Remember George Bush asking Congress to approve his use of military force to hunt down the suspects?

Well that Authorization for the Use of Military Force, unlike any prior which had clearly defined limitations, was simply against “terror” and set to expire “never.”

One member of Congress refused to vote for this, precisely because she understood that Congress was effectively forever giving up its ability to determine when and how the President was allowed to deploy the military. She got death threats. She was right.

All Trump has to do is “find” a terrorist threat in a country, and he’s allowed to send US troops there. Remember how he recently decided that fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction? Yeah.

Fair enough. If your family are all tech savvy enough that that’s a good solution for them, then congratulations, and I’m jealous.

This theory that it’s all Putin’s master plan is giving Trump too much credit.

There’s no conspiracy here. He really is that much of an idiot all on his own. He’s been going on about trade imbalances and the need for massive tariffs hits entire adult life. It’s a personal obsession for him. It didn’t just come out of nowhere.

The reason it seems incredibly stupid and self defeating is because it’s incredibly stupid and self defeating. People who are born rich never have to learn how much of an idiot they are, so Trump genuinely believes this is a good idea.

Counterpoint: I can access my friend’s Jellyfin servers, and they can access mine, without anyone else in the world knowing what the fuck we’re doing. Saying “It’s necessary” always begs the question “Why did you make it necessary?”

No need to abandon all the user-friendly aspects of a self-hosted streaming platform. Just use Jellyfin. I switched to it from Plex years ago and have never looked back.

That’s been the plan for a while anyway. China really wants to move away from being the world’s sweatshop. They’re happy to lose a lot of that low tier labour to less economically advantaged countries, while they invest in things like computing, electric cars, heavy industry, advanced electronics, etc.

A question I have about this setup, because I’ve been contemplating out myself: If all the traffic flows through the VPS, I presume that will count against any usage limits / cost per GB with the VPS, right? Have you found that to be a problem with large file transfers or video streaming?

I’ve been running Seafile for over ten years. They released version 12.0 just last month. I’m really not sure why people have this impression that it’s not maintained.

Seafile updates slowly because it’s very much intended as an enterprise product. It has minimal bells and whistles, but the core functionality is reliable and works well. It’s more of a BlackBerry than an iPhone.

In the side by side tests I’ve seen it syncs a lot faster than Nextcloud. I keep my entire documents, downloads and picture folders synced there across three different machines, nearly 300GB of data in total, and I can wipe my laptop and sync all my files back in under and hour. File transfers basically cap out at network speed, even with large numbers of small files. I’ve used the desktop client, the drive client and the mobile client and never had any complaints with any of them.

Sidenote, if you create an account on their site they’ll give you a pro license for up to three users, free forever.

The documentation is a bit of a beast, but worth reading thoroughly. Setup is a little fiddly compared to Nextcloud (that’s a major turn off for a lot of people, understandably so). If you have questions message me and I’ll try to help. If you go with the free pro license, be sure to enable offline garbage collection, it’ll help keep your storage use under control.

Anyway, I really like it, works well for me. Definitely worth trying out.

Stop, I can only get so erect!

I love the assumption that somehow the problem was that he wasn’t spending enough time at Tesla, as if the Cybertruck wasn’t 100% his baby through and through. Clearly, with more genius ideas like that the company would be doing so much better.

Seconded.

Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media, period.

Yes, even including the original trilogy.
