Same for me with Markdown. Love the simplicity.
I went through a phase a while back of evaluating a bunch of note-taking and to-do apps, and hating almost all of them for being proprietary products with so much vendor lock-in.
I eventually settled on Joplin because it just uses plain old markdown, and allows you to selfhost the storage back-end so you own your data.
So because of that, my recipes are just a folder (and some subfolders) with markdown in Joplin.
A person with a hammer? Why does it need to be difficult :P
Or just go with direct address
“If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.”
My biggest peeve with JSON when I’m forced to use it as a configuration format is that it doesn’t have any syntactical support for comments.
So I can’t even add any notes to the file.
This is a nice list, but for the novices it’s obviously meant for, it’s a bad learning experience.
Why? Because it doesn’t explain any of the reasoning behind what it asks you to do.
Why are we changing the default SSH port, for example? Someone who is seasoned might identify this is a somewhat limited attempt to obscure our attack surface, but to a novice it’s inscrutable and meaningless.
More important than telling people what to do is explaining why, because it puts the learning in context and makes it stick by giving a reason to care.
I haven’t even tried it yet, but just from the video you can tell it’s going to be insanely good. I’m so impressed.
It’s the first bit of software I’ve seen in a long time where I took one look and immediately thought “Fuck me, I need that!”
I use Unraid for my NAS server and just on the off-chance I checked the Unraid community ‘app store’ and someone’s already created a Docker definition for it, published just today! The hype is real
I’ll be giving this a shot
Can claim “It even works with browsers from the future!”
Lol, brilliant.
At first you are thinking “this is going to be so nice and compact and tidy” and then…
Love it though
Swiftfin is what I’m using for Plex on my Apple TV
It’s perfect for me because it supports direct stream and decoding of the file for playback on the Apple TV - because the Apple TV is capable enough to do that.
This is ideal because my NAS server is a venerable but now very long in the tooth HP Gen 8 microserver from 2014, so it doesn’t have the chops for reencoded streaming anymore.
I loved that app and I still miss it (and reddit) in some ways, but the API Apocalypse was when I decided I had to take a moral stand and quit. No way was I going to be railroaded into the first-party app full of ads and nonsense.
I haven’t looked back since.
I’d suggest not moving towards even more consolidation on the biggest instance. It rather defeats the point of decentralisation.
I myself am a lemm.ee refugee (just registered this new account today) and I specifically ruled world out because it benefits the health of Lemmy more to spread users and communities around.
There’s nowhere convenient. As you correctly identified, AI has pushed the price of drives through the roof.
Your only real chance is to find a one-off on auction sites from someone who hasn’t noticed what’s going on or what the current market is asking for drives.
You might still be able to find bargains in charity stuff or on Marketplace sites etc but these are unlikely to be sufficient capacity for NAS builds unless you get super lucky.
