  • It is cat and mouse, but it has an issue maybe every year or so, and they generally resolve it same day or next day with an app update. The hardest part is generating your own google api keys, but there are straightforward guides and you just need to do it once.

    The upside? No ads at all, sponsorblock integration, and an easy 10ft interface that works great with a remote. No shitty web site to navigate with a mouse. Just a list of your videos each day. Click and play.

    I cant speak to your overheating issues. I have kodi running on 4gb raspi 5s with the default case/fan. No problems. An external usb fan might help you out. I’ve used one of these with a raspi in the past. Its roughly the same size as the raspi, but dead silent. Moves insane air.






  • They can’t ban the other instances users from posting on non blahaj.zone communities they are connected to, nor can they can the ban individual communities on other instances.

    The only tool an instance has right now to “ban” a user from another instance is to defederate the whole instance. Since that instances admins appeared to be indifferent to concerns at the core of blahaj existing, they took the one action they have available to resolve it.

    It looks extreme, but not when you realize its literally the one option available.


  • The statement that “SMR exist because small reactors exist in nuclear vessels” is disingenuous, if not an outright lie. These reactors are small, but are not mass produced in factories and then assembled on site in a paint by numbers way that SMRs are pitched as. They are each bespoke, horrifying expense reactors that are just smaller than standard land based reactors. The designs are not “assembly line” ready at all.

    They are designed for a certain size, but also for warfare. They spare literally no expense when making them, and do things that no civilian plant should ever do. The cost per megawatt is astronomical. Just unimaginably expensive, to the point of being instant commercial dead ends. Literally none of their designs would be considered usable, even if they weren’t military secrets.

    The truth of the matter is that no one on earth has a working SMR design. The US goverment dumped hundreds of millions of subsidies into them recently and the companies all failed. This 15 billion for 4 plants next to Toronto, a city Doug Ford hates, is likely a mix of vendetta and media blitz for Ontario to deflect from their minimal renewals commitment.

    Of course. Look at the “network state” concept that the alt right tech bros love.

    Tiny nation states ruled by the elites, where laws and rights are set not by a wide ranging view of human rights, but by those in power. One of your only rights is the ability to leave. To where? Who knows, and surely nit with all your valuables going with you. No voting, not basic dignity, nothing else if the techo kings dont want to provide it. Corpo kings, contract as the only law.

    The end state of the above and fascism is the same. A ruling class that sets the rules, and a citizenry that has to abide by them, or else.

    Is it literal fascism? Who knows. Are you under the boot of a privileged class, at the full mercy of their whims just like monarchy or fascism? Yes indeed.




  • The lift here is that you setup the end users client. If they aren’t local, buy one and ship it. Since it will be on your always on tailscale vpn, you can then interact with it remotely if needed.

    Android tvs can be had for $35, Raspi 5 are around the same range, with apple tvs about $130. Have people pony up the cash and mail one of what they want out to them.

    That may be too much to ask if you share to a lot of casual friends/family, but its been a successful answer for me.


  • Jellyfin takes more work, but can be a “simple” end user experience if you set it up for them.

    Use a reverse proxy to get a letsenceypt cert for your jellyfin server. SWAG, Caddy, lots of options. Then setup a free tailscale account and add your jellyfin server to your tailnet. Install the jellyfin and tailscale apps on the user android tv/apple tv/computer, then enroll the devices in your tailnet.

    They will have always on, ssl secured, vpn protected media sharing for free.
