m-discs have a conservative lifespan of 100 years

if I outlive an m-disc I probably didn’t need the data on it anyway

The price of ownership is maintenance.

Prices keep rising because people will pay ANY price to avoid personal responsibility.

hey, I didn’t memorize my NT key for nothing

what’s a backup?

I wouldn’t trust modern e-waste as far as I could throw it.

do you NEED a terrestrial receiver?

“Rich can be cured by a weekend in Vegas. Wealth is terminal.”

Ah, the common clay of the new Web

That’s not how capitalism works though

Plex wants us to log into their servers to watch content we’re hosting ourselves.

I hate Plex as much as the next Jellyfin user but you can just whitelist your local network, although people who understand that aren’t the target audience are they? …

qBittorrent has an inbuilt torrent search function that can search multiple sites from inside the client. you should honestly never need to go to a website, download torrent files, or open magnet links, ever.

if you can host Jackett it really broadens your search options but isn’t necessary.

if you decide to host Jackett think about also hosting qBittorrent at the same time since you’re already setting up self hosting stuff it’s not anymore difficult and the webUI is super convenient.

I hope the incoming Military Junta burns down that fucking ballroom.

protip: if you still have the battery door it’s worth like double the price.
