I have gigabit, and struggled to stream. Turned out I had the Quality of Service (QoS) /traffic priority settings on my router misconfigured.

This might be something to look into.

Can a remote user download something from your network at a reasonable and consistent speed? (Not using Plex)

Can you upload a large file somewhere and monitor the speed and see if it maintains speed as expected?

For me, these two things were also performing at unexpectedly low speeds, or being wildly inconsistent until I fixed my QoS settings.

It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.

“Managed Decline” That’ll be big.

That really does sound like a bag of hurt.

But it also sounds like a fuller alternative to what the big guys offer. And in the long run it would make it a well rounded space and protocol.

It’s too bad that it sounds like it both isn’t straightforward to implement properly, and attracts heat.

I wish them luck. Privacy and security would be great. People do use these spaces as direct messaging platforms. Even if it’s not the best all around idea. As social spaces evolve, the way people message evolves too. Making it secure earlier in that cycle is good.

The alt text the fediverse needs.

$25.99 + shipping for a box of 12 from their website.

Looks like dog treats.

Huh, that’s unintuitive to me. I remember people talking about too many hard drives in a case using too much power before. Overloading it, etc. 1-2W each would not overload a normal power supply. 🤔

Did hard drives just quietly get super efficient when I wasn’t paying attention? Or is something else going over my head here?

I think a lot of the annoyance that comes from rules similar to your example is the fact it is a system bolted on to whatever is available in Reddit. And the UI/UX is almost always TERRIBLE.

If it was easier to make clean and functional post/comment flows this would be less of a burden.

Your points still stand. But I do think a large proportion of the friction from many rules comes from Reddits architecture. And frankly, the fact that they support apps. If it had stayed just the website, we would have probally seen more movement on improving these flows. But it’s deemed too complicated to support in two formats. Also, Reddit probally just does not give a shit.

I would hope Lemmy could be a place where it’s easy to deploy systems for proper labeling and tagging in niche communities that gain a lot from better taxonomies and other systems.

If communities end up with hundreds of thousands or millions of users, you will start to see more rules here too.

I’m not saying any specific rule choices are good or bad. But they become increasingly necessary when the user count crosses a threshold.

Why was there an anime purge?

This is why Satya Nadella said he could make Google dance.

Yeah, using “self hosted” in your title is misleading.

Ah, in that scope, I see.

The majority of people pirate

Really?

They loiter in thrift stores.

That’s why those commands have two?

Great effort.

Heat pump!
