It’s a British idiom used to show endearment. Don’t worry about not knowing it, I’m near native in English and didn’t know.

There’s been lots of great movies lately, they’ve just drowned in the massive marketing budgets of copy pasta bullshit sequels.

What I do instead is mostly rely on specific directors that I know produce high quality content like Guy Ritchie, Wes Anderson, and Christopher Nolan (especially work done together with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, but IIRC Jonathan mostly focused on series like Westworld and Fallout after Interstellar).

Another thing to look for is A24 movies. They’re quite unique and usually pushes the limits with story telling. Their older stuff, while great, might though not be everyone’s cup of tea but it seems like they’re trying to mellow it a bit out lately to cater to a larger audience.

What if it’s an unsigned boolean?

Rule no. 1: Test on a sausage first.

Before Soundboks went industrial they made portable speakers for festival goers by hooking a speaker up to car batteries and putting it in a nice box. I imagine you can get a nice setup following their footsteps. Unfortunately Soundboks is more than twice your budget so I can’t recommend them on that alone, but a cheap second-hand speaker (or some drivers and an empty box so you can fit batteries inside too), a car battery, and a cheap microphone should be doable below €200-€300.

Yes, except of course The Scene. IIRC only two of the mentioned trackers still exist today.

And here I am wasting my money on 24 TB obsolete HDDs when I could have just bought SSDs.

I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

I can definitely recommend that setup.

I opened Lemmy on a packed bus this morning and got the full blast…

Self hosted doesn’t necessarily mean hosted at home. Some of my stuff is for example hosted in a French datacenter for redundancy. At one point it was my only server space since hosting at home wasn’t feasible at that time.

It’s not space that’s hard. It’s the stuff you encounter when you run out of space that’s hard.

I’d be okay with that, honestly

Well, good news then! If you wait a few billion years the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy.

I can’t possibly think of any way that could backfire.

That is some unexpectedly good news. I’m looking forward to see the results of an EU based search index.

Same people who’s maintaining it today. We need to look up business hours anyway on top of looking up time zones. E.g. business hours in Denmark is usually 8-16 while in UK it is usually 9-17. Here there’s furthermore differences at the usual company. IMO you’re inconsiderate if you start planning meetings without taking the business hours of the recipients into account (which means all our UK enployess are inconsiderate jerks on this topic, calling me in for meetings until 18:00…)

So instead of looking up the time zone difference and the cultural business hours of a company in Australia, I can just see that they open after my lunch.

Yes, lizards use it as an escape tactic. A bird might grab them by the tail and then they’ll “detach” the tail. They’ll then just regrow a new one.

I see your 4-bay docking station and raise my 20-bay storage server. I even stopped counting how much the hardware costs for it :p
