variety is the spice of life.

A few hours of downtime in all the years I’ve been using them? That’s a better record than my actual services have.

“If you can’t configure Docker, reverse proxies, and Yaml files, you shouldn’t be self-hosting.”

uh, if you can’t figure those things out then you absolutely should not be self-hosting until you can. those are the basic first steps a self-hoster takes, and if you somehow get them wrong you can expose yourself to some serious bad actors out there that will definitely exploit your setup and steal whatever data they can.

you see it as gatekeeping, and it is, but everyone here recognizes that if you fuck this up, you will get pwned. this isn’t a hobby you can just jump into without learning anything first. there are real consequences to messing up, and depending on what data you have accessed by a malicious actor, it could have lasting damage on your life.

wut the fuck. I use Jellyfin because I don’t want to have to do shit by hand. I fucking click the grab button in Jellyseer and then press play. if I wanted harder than that, I wouldn’t bother setting up a media server in the first place.

Not even swam, that was was maybe knee deep. IDK why he took back off. I’m not a helicopter pilot, but surely adding power to the engine like that requires conscious effort? Like, it’s not something that could happen by accident or because of the damage?

That was different. You’re thinking of the reactive armor pods, this is a active protection system. It is supposed to use radar to lock into small objects incoming threats like drones or rocket propelled grenades and destroy them by shooting them down.

yeah, but the subprojectiles aren’t. I ain’t a weapons guy, so idk what the practical effect of getting hit with thousands of tiny tungsten balls moving at supersonic speeds would be, but I’m guessing it ain’t pretty for a jet either. I guess the question is, can it hit targets moving that fast?

the fact they’re using them against cruise missiles would suggest yes, but since they have so few of them I imagine they won’t be deployed close enough to the front to encounter manned Russian aircraft. so we might not get to find out.

To be fair, I think it would be pretty effective against anything that flies and isn’t built to be particularly durable. It’s basically a precision-guided flak cannon. Even large aircraft like jets would certainly take some damage, although whether or not it would be enough to down one is yet to be tested, as far as I know.

Well, if what you’re looking for is not on Readarr, there’s Kapowarr. I haven’t tried it though because I use Tachiyomi on mobile and haven’t bothered to switch to a selfhosted option yet because that’s been working fine. There’s also some other projects, but the ones I looked at back when I was searching hadn’t been updated in years, and I imagine that hasn’t suddenly changed recently.

I’ve never once had anything go wrong with Unraid. But even if I did, it’s pretty painless to restore a backup since the OS is on a USB drive and isn’t very big.

It’s less hassle than maintaining my homelab was when I used Ubuntu server. Just because I can do it the “hard way”, doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy easy mode and not having to do much of anything.

They give you exactly what they promise with zero enshitification. It’s a solid product and was worth it to me to buy, just for the convenience.

bad week for explosives plants exploding

Lesson #1: The Russian army is made up of two kinds of people. Those who hadn’t held a gun before they were dropped on the front line, and the more elite Spetsnaz who were recruited from the finest mall cops and Russian mafia that money could bribe. Combined with copious amounts of vodka and methamphetamine, they form a fighting force that could only be stopped by the most top of the line off-the-shelf Chinese consumer photography drones with grenades zip-tied to their bottoms. Truly, one of the most armies ever.

probably not going to happen. there are people behind putin that have got to be salivating over his demise, and whomever end up winning the inevitably fight for power, they will not want to end up ruling over a russia that’s a nuclear wasteland.

Wonder how long till he starts throwing kids on the front line. We’ve already seen some old people.

Damn, this keeps up old Putin is gonna have to cut back on building palaces.

I don’t think these would be very useful in frontal assaults, since they aren’t armored and would be vulnerable to small arms themselves. I think they are more useful as distractions, such as driving them forward to provide suppressing fire so that the ukrainians can reposition to gain an advantage.

ukraine seems to be doing a pretty good job on the accuracy front so far. of course, to be fair it kinda helps when they can just drive truckloads of drones up to the target inside russia.
