Please correct me if i'm misunderstanding your point, but I interpreted this response as you admitting you enjoy dunking your head into toilet bowls and think most people operate this way.
"Having subject matter expertise is the same as vibes" is pretty much pestiny's entire brand.
Also, “it works on my machine” doesn’t mean it’s not a bug or a legitimate performance issue inherent to the software
Of course not, but when there's an issue that's limited to certain users, the immediate question is "what is different about this installation that's causing this issue here and not elsewhere?". It would have been just as easy for you to start with Jellyfin instead of plex, but then you would have likely run into the same issue when trying to add plex to the same shared media volume. That isn't an uncommon issue, but when you've already said 'it's not worth my time to troubleshoot this application', I can only assume you also didn't have the time to read the documentation. That's fine - most of us here understand that homelabs are a niche hobby interest and not everyone is willing to maintain a server that requires technical knowledge and time to keep running smoothly. Some people just want something that works out of the box and don't care about it being open sourced or customizable, and that's fair. If that's why you prefer plex that's fine. But it isn't the developer's fault if you choose to go down a more complicated deployment path and find that you're out of your depth.
It’s always crazy to me how holier-than-thou, not-the-developer’s-job people can get without heeding even the most basic, ground-level software development principles.
Containerized applications are simply not designed to work like native applications - they are very much built with the assumption that those people who are deploying them have - at a minimum - a cursory knowledge of VM's and shared volume ACL's and a willingness to troubleshoot their configuration if there are conflicts. It isn't because they're shirking responsibility as developers, it's because they're providing source code that's designed for remote service developers to plug into other services/environments and customized. If you can't be bothered to do basic troubleshooting that's very common with shared volume deployments, then maybe you've reached your personal threshold for how much self-hosting you're willing to do. Again, that's not 'holier-than-thou', that's just an acknowledgment of what remote application deployment requires.
Plex and jellyfin can be run together if you really wanted to do it, but if you can't be bothered to do basic troubleshooting then I won't be bothered to soothe your ego.
I just don’t think you need to make your whole personality about your pet home server or that it needs to be finicky and annoying to work
Lmao, idk what to tell you bud. Some people actually enjoy working on their cars, but I don't hear you getting mad at them because all you're willing to do yourself is change your oil.
How do you know?
How? Even just a passive viewing of that debate shows how little he understands the citations he's using. He couldn't defend any of his sources beyond reading select quotes that just happen to be available on wikipedia - any time Finkelstein engaged the substance of whatever it was he was resting his case on Mr Bonnelli couldn't hang.
This is why this kind of exchange is pointless - Finkelstein is an actual scholar on the issue and can engage with substance far deeper than most average BA's could, let alone a college drop-out slop-tuber. The distance between them in terms of subject matter knowledge is just too great - they might as well be speaking different languages.
so why can I mess up a config so that the whole thing grinds to a halt?
I actually can't tell if this is facetious or serious. There are a couple hundred (if not thousand) configuration options or reasons why your chosen setup might have caused the problem you're describing - it isn't really up to the developer to anticipate how every individual user has configured their home server, with every other application that might be sharing the same environment. It might have even been the plex service that was causing the issue.
I ran jellyfin and plex on the same library and machine for probably a year before migrating completely away from plex without any issues, but that doesn't mean I didn't have to read a bit of the documentation to get the config right.
I will opt out of a LOT of things on Plex before I troubleshoot that situation, I can tell you that.
Fair enough, managing your own home server isn't for everyone.
didn’t really engage with Destiny much on many points he brought up, if at all
lmao, that's because his 'points' were willfully misunderstood citations from wikipedia, sourced from books that Finkelstein either actually read or he himself wrote.
Destiny did not 'hold his own', he got absolutely humiliated.
It may have been a bug or a config issue, but the point is it absolutely happened to me
That's absolutely a config issue.
What on earth does this even mean?
I've never had to take jf down while managing the library.
I recognize Zionism as the result of the jewish struggle of the 19th and 20th century.
There's a sizeable difference between zionism being related to 19th and 20th century antisemitism and being a result from it.
The 19th and 20th century pogroms were gleefully used by zionists to justify their political project and anti-arab ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Comparing that political project to National Socialism is possibly the most appropriate comparison of any political movement since the holocaust, and far from hand-waiving this policy away as a regrettable legal restriction the mods at feddit.org seem quite keen on defending it as policy.
Holocaust denial/inversion/relativization is something (for good reason) illegal in Germany.
On the contrary, Holocaust exceptionalism prevents one from recognizing the severity and urgency of stopping genocides as they are happening. Nobody outside of Germany knew the scale of the Holocaust until long after it had actually ended - it would be self-defeating if we barred any discussion of genocidal political projects that draws too-close a comparison to the one we are most eager to prevent from happening again.
I'm not saying it's the quantity of hops, i'm saying it's the hop-forward and fragrant flavor characteristic of IPA's. You said it yourself - there are plenty of other high ABV content beers that aren't as bitter or hoppy as single, double or triple IPA's. More than that - there are plenty of straight IPA's that have the same or similar ABV as some double or triple varieties.
High ABV often comes with the double or triple label -true enough- but the origin of those beers wasn't a desire for a higher alcohol content but (in true American form) a doubling-down on the unique flavor of the IPA, characterized by the bitter hop-forward profile of the historic India Pale Ales (which were made to survive longer trade routes from England without spoiling originally). The Triple IPA designation is more recent and less common and does get cited as an option for higher ABV content by some brewers, but that's not the case for most double IPA's and it's more of a recent trend that I wouldn't say is typical.
if you really want a smooth, drinkable, high alcohol beer, try finding a Baltic porter!
Yea no argument here, plenty of other beers with enough kick to end your day early without the bitter aftertaste
Mmm, this might be anecdotally true but more broadly double and triple IPA's are (in theory) double the hops, not necessarily alcohol. It was more of a description of flavor notes than of the content of alcohol, though, so sometimes that included extra fermentation steps and sometimes more alcohol, but always the flavor was intended to be stronger and more hoppy/bitter.
The strength of the beer isn't particularly unique to IPA's (be they single, double, or triple varieties) as someone else pointed out. I'll never forget getting a belgian tripel while traveling in europe, and it completely knocked me on my ass it was so unexpectedly strong. I didn't know a beer could be strong without being undrinkably bitter
Much of what they've done in Palestine has been officially sanctioned and co-opted by western powers - it isn't at at all about the legality of what they are doing
Ok but there are a million SSO options out there - just because someone doesn't want to allow google as a SSO provider doesn't mean they're telling anyone they have to switch fucking email services.
If you want a remote service to handle your authentication you don't have to use google. I feel like that's something I shouldn't have to point out in a self-hosting community on an open-source and federated social media platform.
