Are you using wireless? I’m guessing your router is occasionally being oversaturated with traffic. I would turn your streaming quality down to around 2mb and then stream to your device. You can open up Jellyfin in a browser and check the steam information in the Jellyfin Dashboard to check the speed. Keep bumping it up if you want better quality.

If you’re trying to prevent transcoding, then I suggest downloading or ripping lower bitrate content.

If you happen to have a spare router, I would try adding it as an access point and keep your Jellyfin source machine and streaming device on that access point. That should keep the traffic from going through your primary router.

It’s artificial for sure, but I’m pretty convinced it’s part of the tech bros attempting to create their feudal states. I think they’re convinced they just need a bit longer to get AI to be able to replace most workers and overplayed their hands too early this time.

In reality, they created a large force of people who want to tear down the current model where most current jobs (which are just pushing money back and forth or supporting buying and selling in some way but not creating anything) will go away anyway. Only, they’re going to keep their autonomy and power and the tech bros will have none.

“We’re 100% certain the one responsible for destroying the eucalyptus bush is either you or this koala. Why don’t you just admit it now and save yourself some trouble?”

Everyone has their preferences and that’s cool. I think we can respect their individual choices. The important thing is that they’re not talking about using Arch.

Apple couldn’t monetize firmware so they got rid of it (probably).

The people with training (I’m against the TSA entirely but I will admit some of them have a good amount of training in respective disciplines) that are not getting paid get to work side by side with completely untrained assholes who are overpaid. This should go well.

Because they block access without signing up.

You’ve got some points but I would argue that antiquated UI will be what saves the Internet. Keeping out bots and AI scrapers with good old fashioned phpBBS systems that have been around for twenty years will be our clean data as we build systems outside of AI and the techbro properties.

My understanding is that it’s a safety issue. Currently, substations have source power shutoffs so any lead-in power source can be easily cut off to replace equipment. But, they’re not set to handle other power inputs in the substation grid. I’ve never fully understood this reasoning as once power is handed off from one substation to the other (to prevent outages) it should be completely dead to do maintenance. It might be my ignorance on it but I can’t see how this is a problem and is likely a method by power companies to reduce solar usage by forcing expensive equipment between the grid and household.

I’m far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.

Considering it was London, I’m surprised death by teeth wasn’t more prevalent.

I can’t speak for everyone with my comment here. I really, really hate the side effects of the AI bubble. Where they force it into every fucking element of life. And honestly, I hate even that it’s being called AI. I hate that it’s made traditional algorithmic services worse like Google Now for example. And I hate the lack of privacy it’s brought.

That said, I have no problems with someone using it to complete a project with it. I think it could potentially raise a potential device security concern in a case like this. And probably wouldn’t partake in the app because of that. But I use my own self-hosted LLMs all the time. It helps me format things, saves me time with searching and researching when I want an answer, not knowledge.

There are many rational reasons to dislike and avoid “AI”. As well, there’s many irrational people. And there are some good uses for the technology.

Only if you bought Cards Against Humanity. They’re giving the money back to the consumer.

This (seemingly) solves some issues in places like Africa where warlords block or destroy delivery systems to remote villages. Also fixes disaster recovery where pipes are destroyed or water systems are contaminated

I’m guessing a guy like that who traded in relationships and secrets would be smart enough to set up a dead man drop in the event he goes quiet for too long. It keeps his life valuable.

There’s still the option that it was a faked death. That much wealth and power, if it could be done, that’s who and when it would be done. I’m not giving it much credence without more evidence, but I’ve got no reason to think that it’s not possible given the series of absurd happenings that morning.

Mobile client? I’ve been using Raccoon but honestly the mobile web probably just as much.

General Mills, maybe

Say what you will about becoming Pistachio Green, but it’s one of the few jobs that didn’t require you to use AI.
