Well, I’d say you’re right, but I don’t know how you could have enough information about me to make such a determination just from this short conversation.

Saying something is sad isn’t shaming it. It’s saying it makes you sad. Which can be caused by whatever depending on the purpose. You wouldn’t say someone expressing that at a funeral was shaming the deceased would you?

They didn’t shame anyone, they said they didn’t understand their reasoning for doing it.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep corporations out of your stuff. Everything ran by them is constantly enshittifying. It’s their nature to do so. What happens when cloudflare rugpulls you?

When I set something up I write all the steps I’m doing in obsidian as I do it. The pages get tagged so they’re searchable in the future.

There’s only a few communities I’d be interested in seeing come over and they’ve already made it clear they’re not interested in moving because of reddits enshittification. I don’t think lemmy should cater to people who can’t be bothered to get over the small initial hump of choosing an instance. We don’t need more users just for the sake of more users anyway. People like that aren’t bringing anything to the table anyway.

My media server has more shit I want to watch on it than Netflix does, it’s not even close. Yeah it took some time to build my library but it’s paid off. Even starting out just queue up a bunch of shit ahead of time and it will be ready to go when you go to watch it. I personally watch shows through the week as they take longer to get through and are more adaptable to the amount of free time I have. Then I queue up any new movies for the weekend and new shows as I hear about them. It’s not difficult to stay ahead of the curve with some minimal planning. My backlog will take me months to get through. Also your media library will never remove shit before you’re done and you’re not limited to just what the streaming services you have are currently offering.

I don’t for media. I have 2 parity drives and that’s it. I’d like to do some kind of off site mirror but I haven’t had time to figure it out and buying enough storage to do that is expensive.

My actual data for like taxes and stuff is backed up to my server and backblaze.

I have a headless Debian server I’ve used for hosting media for like 10 years now with 0 issues that weren’t hardware failures. It’s solid as a rock. That said if you already have stuff up and running and you’re not having any problems there’s no reason to touch it.

LLMs learned it by watching these idiots.

Never forget that the morally correct thing to do if you happen to meet one of these people it to punch them in the mouth.

Seems like it. That’s what I do and it is the same for me. But I like it that way.

Reddit is bots. People are on tiktok or Instagram or whatever.

It’s just less busy. So conversations on one topic go on for longer, is that such a bad thing?

Gonna be awful hard to organize resistance when the administration decides to cut everyone off from all the centralized means of doing so. The time to set up decentralized mesh networks is now.

Same. I’ve used SMB for years. Don’t have any problems with it across all my Windows and Android devices. Pretty sure I had an iPad in there at one point as well.

What’s wrong with it?

It’s not all my data but I use backblaze for offsite backup. One of the reasons I can’t drop Windows. I don’t have anywhere I travel often enough to do a physical drop off and when I tried setting a file server up at my parents but they would break shit by fucking with their router every time they had an internet outage or moving it around (despite repeated being told to call me first).

How long does it take to break even from the pollution and electricity spent to make and install these?

Malwarebytes has worked out for me so far. I don’t think they offer it anymore though…
