Lifetime plex holder here, haven't installed plex since the third time my server shit the bed and it couldn't recover. Jellyfin has never had an issue with hardware failures. It also doesn't try to advertise random shit to me that I'm not interested in, so there's that too.

    By voting for a candidate I am saying that I endorse them and what they will do. I'm partly responsible for what happens if they're elected.

    And by not voting, you're tacitly approving everything the winner does because you didn't care enough to make your opinion heard and you're partially responsible for their actions. Past that, the reasoning is immaterial and the opinion won't be considered very highly.

    In the US example, where only 60 some percent of the population chose to vote, millions of people didn't care enough to prevent trump, so they tacitly approve of it because they chose not to show up. Because of the way US voting works, it defacto helps the right, and is why the right is the only ones this century who won while losing the popular vote.

    Usually no candidate on the ballot comes even close to meeting those criteria. And you might argue that's not what voting for a candidate means. But that's definitely how it's received

    Not taking action when you have the ability is an action in itself, and non-voters don't get to shirk responsibility for the outcome when they also made a choice to let the masses decide. No candidate is perfect, and if you let perfect be the enemy of progress, your opinion isn't worth jack.

    Someday maybe you'll realize the world is extremely complex, that you've been living in a bubble, that you meant well but were lied to

    Nah, when one party is literally snatching people off the street, and we knew this would be the result, there is no nuance to be found.

    The lesser of two evils is still evil and does evil things.

    So let the greater evil win, right? Fuck everyone who will suffer and die because the alternative doesn't have clean hands, correct?

    Voting is literally the trolley problem, and so many people show they'd gladly let thousands die so they don't have to have a hand on the lever.

    Voting becomes a lot harder when you own the consequences.

    Lol, peak fucking copium. But nonvoters love to find anyway to justify letting the worst of us take control again. Weak people love not doing anything and taking the high road to do so. It's really sad and pathetic, but exactly the mentality I expect to see

    Maybe read your comment in a few years when you've had a chance to grow up and realize that this is an evil world when you refuse to try to make it better, even if making it better means preventing it from being worse.

    If you can't express your opinion when it counts, I don't care about it for the other 3.999 years. Clearly it doesn't matter to you, why should it matter to me?

    Reading comprehension is super hard. Especially when you're not actually having a conversation and are only looking to try to out words in someone's mouth.

    Well if their opinion doesn’t matter then why bother voting?

    That's their decision, they're more than welcome to decide their opinion doesn't matter. The rest of us don't have to pretend it does when they change their mind.

    They’re probably idiots anyway

    You're right, that's why they decided their vote didn't matter.

    "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink"

    I advocate that people vote in the general. If you choose not to, you've already said your opinion isn't worth anything. Why should I give a fuck about the opinion you chose not to express when it mattered?

    The mark of a quality developer is not the lack of problems, but the way they respond to them. Any project in active development for a long time is going to run into breaking issues from time to time just because technical debt accrues and memories are short.

    The ability to fix a problem, publicly own up to the cause/fix and work to prevent future issues like it are the best we can ask for.

    So I had a micro PC that was running one of my core services and it only supports NVMe drives. Unfortunately, this little guy cooked itself and I'm not in a position to replace the drive. The system is still good and is fairly powerful, so I want to be able to reuse it.

    I'm thinking I want to set up some kind of netboot appliance on another server to be able to allow me to boot the system without ever having a local disk. One thing I want to is run some docker images (specifically Frigate) but i wont be able to write anything to persistent storage locally. NFS shares are common in my setup.

    Is it even possible to make a 'gold image' of a docker host and have it netboot? I expect that memory limitations (16GB) will be my main issue, but I'm just trying to think of how to bring this system back into use. I have two NAS appliances that I can use for backend long term storage (where I keep my docker files and non-database files anyway), so it shouldn't be too difficult to have some kind of easily editable storage solution. I don't want to use USB drives as persistent storage due to lifespan concerns from using them in production environments.
