  • Ah i completely missed that context.

    I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations

    Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

    As far as my level of knowledge , people at work come to me because i understand computers, but not for finances.






  • Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?

    I can respect the corporate ability to serve thousands at a time but a typical household simply doesn’t need that.

    Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue and still worked locally.

    Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.

    The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?

    My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.


  • My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.

    Depending on transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.

    Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.

    The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.

    Also Realistically usecase for 4k movies is usually your home couch so it be streamed on Lan speed. Quality is often better than common stream providers because they do cheat to keep bandwidth down.



  • Few things are so normal and natural as a human consuming substances that change their conscious perception and mind.

    Caffeine, often forgotten is by far the most consumed drug in the world being used by roughly 85% of people globally. “First coffee, then work” is a testimonial to how benign this fact is.

    But what if you don’t like caffeine, what if you simply prefer the effects of something else? It’s your body, no one should be able to tell an adult what they can do with their own body and mind.

    Just be conscious about it.

    Know what you are taking.

    Understand why you take it.

    Study, learn what it actually does and how different doses/methods affect you.

    Find how it does not affect you, what it can’t fix.

    Look for help when you need it and don’t feel shameful for asking such. You are human after all.
