This is why I demand work from home.

I hate commuting.

You see, the steamer depicted may not be the exact subject matter they're referring to. They might have just googled female streamers, or loaded up Twitch and looked for the first girl on camera and snapped a screen shot.

With all that being said, I understand the appeal of wanting to watch something that you think is pretty. Hell, that's the entire reason I played cyberpunk as a female character despite being very cis, and male.

For 90% of game play my gender doesn't matter. Until cutscenes where I get to watch my avatar interacting with others.

Outside of cutscenes, I'm looking first person, so what difference does it make?

I think that at least 7 people didn't understand what you were trying to say.

I did. Well said. I can't see any problems with your argument.

Though, I think that maybe the green text was more about female streamers in general, not just the one that's depicted.

Whichever. Be well.

In my experience, Plex struggles with the same. Depends on the series.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I don't. There's just a nontrivial number of people I care about that use Plex that don't know enough about technology to handle something like jellyfin.

Losing years of watched data isn't great, but ultimately it's small potatoes.

A big part of the reason I wanted to set up Plex to begin with, was so that my friends and family didn't have to waste their time downloading the stuff that all of us want to watch.

They don't demand anything, I want them to be able to use it because I care about those people. If switching to jellyfin is too difficult for the non-techs I care about, then I'll keep rolling with Plex.

I'm not sure I can switch. I have too many friends linked to my server and a decade-ish of watched data.

I know many people watch from TV apps and Chromecasts and I don't know if there's an app for every TV brand for jellyfin or emby or whatever.

People watch from all sorts of weird devices. I got push back when I forced SSL because at least one person had a TV so old that it didn't support doing SSL for Plex. It took me a week to drill it into their brain that I'm not going to change it back and to go buy literally anything to make it work (Chromecast type thing). I think their ended up buying a Roku.

This is just the brainpower that most of the people I share with, have. They just want easy. I do all the hard work in the background and their life is easy.

I can't imagine how many would have a fit if I forced them off Plex. Jellyfin looks cool and all, but it's unlikely I'll be able to move anytime soon.

They've "streamlined" your experience.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Willful ignorance.

They put in effort to understand as little as they can.

Maybe that's a personality quirk, maybe their brain don't work right, who the hell knows. But they try to know only as much as they have to in order to do the job.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I would, but I don't give any shits about them.

I would suggest it to my sales team to pursue it, but I couldn't be arsed to bother.

They want to be dumb, cool.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Yeah. Closest we come to something like that is either scan to email (directly from the printer) or scan to (network) folder. I've used both in the past, but both require a network connection.

If they had a network connection to the printer then the user would have direct access to it, and they wouldn't need a computer to act as a print server.

Hilariously, in that case, the printer has Ethernet, so it's entirely possible to do what they want. They just need to find a way to plug the printer into Ethernet. I explained this to them, they basically said that there was no way they could do that. Sure. Ok.

After careful consideration, I think their intent was to say....

You can come back anytime and if you do, you can always cancel at anytime.

.... More or Less. Basically saying you can join and cancel at your leisure.

That's a terrible way to say it, but ok.

Of course not. This article was written using vibes.

It's vibe reporting.

 

Hello Lemmings! I've been thinking about testing CEPH in my homelab, but to do it right I kinda want to build a cluster of systems, preferrably using SBCs to handle a CEPH storage drive each. Specifically, a single SATA disk would be preferred.

A while back I came across the ODROID HC1, which was perfect but I wasn't ready to pull the trigger at the time; the only thing I'd want above and beyond what the HC1 was capable of, is PoE to simplify power delivery. Unfortunately the HC1 is discontinued (and rather dated at this point), and I have yet to come across anything remotely similar. There are other boards along the same lines, like the HC4 from odroid, and others (often involving adding a SATA HAT to the SBC), but I'm not keen on that.

Essentially, I just want one drive per SBC, and build them into external drive-like enclosures with a single HDD each (3.5" is most likely), and just have a fleet of them. The idea would be to have a pair of "gateway" systems that are more robust, that can pull from the CEPH and portray that data as CIFS or NFS or iSCSI or whatever. Each SBC wouldn't need to be more than 1Gbps linked, but the gateway systems would likely be 10G linked off the same switch to take advantage of the bandwidth of the cluster.

Does anyone know of an SBC that's newer and similar in design to the HC1? Something newer/faster would be important, and something with PoE to power itself and the drive would be a nice-to-have (otherwise I'll rig up a high amperage DC rail for all the nodes so I can use a single "PSU" thing for it. If someone knows a better community to place this question, let me know.... still getting used to lemmy.
