Yes, most of the “top economists” are simply those who best regurgitate capitalist propaganda.

I have done my research. I’m positive I’ve read more theory than you, since you seem to think selling things makes you a capitalist. The education system failed you.

Showing your ignorance again. Capitalism is not the existence of markets. It describes the concentration of wealth and control of resources to extract profit.

No, just people who swallow western propaganda without question.

Do you? The existence of markets does not make a country capitalist. Concentration of wealth and control of resources makes a country capitalist, and the party/people control the resources and profit allocation.

They’re literally executing billionaires.

How do you figure? China has been putting out some of the best big budget stuff in the world this past decade (games & movies), and AI is lowering the barrier to entry for special effects for low budget stuff.

Use borg/borgmatic for your backups. Use rsync to send your differentials to your secondary & offsite backup storage.

People put shows and movies on YouTube already. You’re just not getting corporate backed media on there.

I’m not sure what role you believe capitalists have in creating media, but it’s clearly disproportionate.

You must be joking. The people who make any money producing online content are a very, very small minority.

And if people didn’t have to work 60 hour weeks to barely make enough to survive, we’d get a lot more creative content. All that would change is there wouldn’t be some talentless suit exploiting it.

We can do this, once we transition to socialism, and cut out the corporations. Run nodes on the community-owned fiber for free access to the citizens.

The same people who already make the media. Just cut out the corporate middle-men & shareholders, who soak up all the profit and contribute nothing to the content.

A tax on corporate use of AI to fund an artist stipend, to provide a living wage for artists.

Do you have another system you can use? Maybe with a video card on it that can help with pre-transcoding files?

This is what I ended up doing on mine. Was a big hit to my electric bill to pre-transcode the entire library (only for files that needed it), but now everything serves up in a flash. And the script runs as a nightly cron to catch any new stuff.

If you have to, maybe just dedicate the system you have here to transcode certain problematic content. Other than finding another download in a different format, I’m not sure there’s anything else you can practically do.

Setup Lidarr, and subscribe to lists for curated content. Pretty sure you can even subscribe to Spotify lists for it to auto download. But finding people who make lists recommending new stuff you like is probably the best route to go.

Exactly. Who gives a shit?

I mean… I could recite the exact setup of mine in detail, but I’d probably be happier if my brain matter was dedicated to something else. Do not shame the ignorant. Envy them.

No. Even mounting Nextcloud shares over the lan, on a 10gb fiber connection, gives absolutely dogshit performance.

Ehh. I wouldn’t say it’s ever easy. At least not the initial setup. No matter how many times I do it, that initial setup is always a pain in the butt.

But once you get it configured and go through the initial headaches, it’s a breeze to coast on it.

Especially paired with Fail2Ban preventing any brute force attempts.

But with a WireGuard setup, you need not have the port exposed at all.

It’s pretty simple to send a Nextcloud share link.
