Unfortunately no.

Isn't that kind of the point, though?

Usually, I'd be in the side of labor but this is like Nazi office staff in 1944 Germany being told they have to go to the eastern front now.

I hope they chew each other up.

They figured it out pretty quickly. Anyone still using it to try to mess up AI is months behind now.

I knew they owned the Kentaco Huts but TIL they also own Habit Burger. Add that to the list of "I'm not buying from there" places.

Just fine, law-abiding citizens here. I only read these posts so I can avoid piracy. I mean, who would want to bypass corporate greed and deny the shareholders their due? (This is sarcasm for those in the back.)

I'm not sure "devout" is the right adjective. Maybe tack on "self-described" or "incredibly ignorant."

I think I was last on it pre-pandemic and, yeah, it was a bot fest. The profiles that appeared to be legit humans weren't all that impressive either.

I can't imagine going back. Unless I pivot careers to crypto scammer.

EDIT: Thank you for all the comments and suggestions! I'm sorry I can't reply to everything but I have a list now of hardware to look at. I appreciate that everyone has been so helpful! I'll post an update once I buy one and get it going.

I've been running a Plex server for music off my gaming laptop for a few months and (I think) I'm ready to take it further - that is, I'd like to have the server running on its own hardware.

At this point, I'd just be running a music server, but I know I'll want to add more services.

The first would be something like Google Drive - I'm working with a couple of other people on business plans and I'd love to self-host our files and the software (like LibreOffice) to edit them.

I'm comfortable with the software side and I'm finding lots of options, especially in this community.

The hardware side... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all the options and I don't know enough to judge the search results.

Any recommendations for hardware or links to guides would be appreciated.

Brainscape hack or such (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Is there a way to download or otherwise use Brainscape flashcards without paying (imo) high subscription prices for their "brain science"?

I'm going to see what I can do on my own but I'm low skill so any help would be appreciated.

TIA!

Kinda newbie in need of guidance (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.

I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.

However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?

I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.

I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.

For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.

Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
