  • Second this. What you need for high quality media is space, not speed. For any single stream, network and drive will be fast enough anyway. Your typical HDD offers like 4-6 times the bandwidth that a regular Blu-ray can provide. You can get 8TB HDDs for the price of 2TB SSDs. Random access doesn’t matter for that application.

    You might want to invest in redundancy and use a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, depends on how valuable that media is to you or how long it would take to recover in case it’s lost. A simple solution would be a btrfs software RAID, in case your are after something like a Linux home media server with Jellyfin.




  • I used to always have a ChatGPT tab pinned, so I wouldn’t mind. That said, the integration is just plain terrible. To be more precise, the whole experience with the sidebar is terrible. Why can I only have one and not even choose the default one? I need two clicks to get to the assistant, which is one more than just pinning a tab…

    In Brave, the integration is so much better. They have a dedicated button (that you can also disable iirc), that opens a sidebar with only the chatbot. Moreover, you can choose from a bunch of models or link your own. You are not constantly at risk of accidentally sending something to it when selecting text, because neither is “AI” the top option in context menus, nor is one opening automatically. AI doesn’t appear in search. And it can even do more (e.g. “summarize this entire page”), while there is also no need to log in.

    In short: This seems not thought through at all. And if it was, maybe the reactions would be less negative.

    Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.

    Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.

    It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.












  • The “German Reich” these days consist of some weirdos who skipped history classes and call themselves “Reichsbürger”. They even have capitalism! The heads of this movement charge them for nonsensical documents, like passports exactly no one accepts. Oh, and some think Germany is a corporation led by the allied forces.

    I don’t know where they stand on mugs, but feel free to try it out and throw some at them.*

    *They may possess illegal weapons tho. Pls help
