.world defedirated from this community so .ml and hexbear trolls are looking to capitalize on that.

You’re looking specifically at the metaphor I used instead of the principal. Let’s use a more direct comparison. Operation Paperclip brought more than 1600 former nazi scientists to America to develop technologies that they worked on for Hitler and Nazi Germany. Aeronautics, genetics, medical studies, etc.

I’d imagine that most worked for Nazi Germany under the threat of death or imprisonment, but there’s more than a few that worked enthusiastically for the nazi party given a sample size that large. Am I supposed to respect Josef Mengele and the people that worked under his supervision for the medical advancements made under his cruel and torturous experimentation of jewish prisoners? And no, that’s not a rhetorical question. I actually want you to address that question with a simple yes or no.

Ope, must have struck a nerve 😂

Maybe I’m wrong, but the fediverse and technology like Activity Pub existed long before Lemmy. So irrespective of the “creators” it would have been developed by someone eventually. Do I respect the work that they put into it? Sure. Do I respect them? I guess in some fashion, since they’re human beings. Do I respect their hateful ideologies? Fuck no lol

And Steve Jobs believed he could cure his cancer with acupuncture and dietary supplements. Does that mean that I should respect him because he innovated the iPhone? Lol

Lol. The classic. “I’m not going to read that.”

They’re a pretty textbook example of a tankie group. To even join the instance you have to copy and paste a paragraph from 1 of 2 communist texts and any criticisms of China and/or Russia gets you banned lol. I would honestly not be surprised in the slightest if Russia or China were funneling money to the Mali government to actively encourage radical communist behavior on the .ml domain. Mali was another failed communist country afterall. The .ml users often support Russia in the Ukrainian conflict and act like Western countries are forcing capitalism on the world because sovereign countries like Taiwan and Ukraine are actively trying to assimilate into western culture and establish capitalist democracies. Their proposed solution to another nation choosing to distance themselves from the failed communist autocracies they were part of is to forcibly invade, detain, relocate, and resettle the land with communist friendly nationals.

Unrestricted capitalism is bad, but it’s demonstrably not as bad as the attempts at “communism” over the course of the last century that almost always end up becoming a communist autocracy. (East Germany, Soviet Union, Cuba, Taiwan, Afghanistan, Belarus, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Poland, North Vietnam, Hungary, North Korea)

Communism ≠ socialism.

They have literally zero to do with the reason I can post. My instance is still federated with @lemmy.dbzer0.com

I will never give a shoutout to lemmy.ml for anything. They run a tankie lovefest of an instance.

Something to do on a Saturday night. Sit down with the fam and scroll through the code with a bowl of popcorn to pass around.

Spotify can be configured to auto download, but you need to open the app. To my knowledge it doesn’t auto delete after listening, but when it reaches the 4th latest release it is deleted. Personally i prefer that they’re not auto deleted after listening because i like to share some podcasts moments with my SO.

LTT did a recent video on android streaming stick options and they were really impressed with Onn. believe it or not.

In a way, they’re making a point. Just because they provide internet shouldn’t mean that they are the ones that should pay damages to record companies. But neither should torrent client developers. If you can’t catch the end user, then that’s your problem. If you’re that concerned, make your material more accessibile.

Maybe I’m wrong but for the sake of trying to get you started down the right path until someone smarter than me answers for sure. I think you would need to configure a split tunnel on your device. Even then I don’t think that would work either. I think that “casting” just tells the display the server address and it tracks down the stream info. Your casting device then just functions as a remote through the network.

So even if It could work, you’re home network address would be compromised by the network traffic being sent to your display without a VPN.

Like another person has said, your best bet is more likely torrenting to Plex, Emby, Jellyfin then casting from your media server.

4 motors is more expensive than 1 motor and a bunch of gears

I think I’ll probably end up using SSH after connecting to the network through wireguard.

Oh wow, I had no idea that even was an option. I’m pretty excited to sink my teeth into the arrs. It’s a little daunting having to set it up on a Linux server plus the networking, but still exciting.

This comment isn’t helpful to anyone in anyway, but it IS funny

Yes. USB gives me a theoretical max of 480 MB/.A comparison HDD gives me about 8 more TB, but then I have to worry about the drives failing and a power supply.

Less power draw, more stable, so much faster…yeah, the only real advantage to actual platters now is capacity, but at these capacities you’re likely dealing with very large files, so the convenience of an SSD is worth paying for imo
