If anything, by not giving the money to big multinationals more of my money will be going into the local economy instead.

Are you sure that's many people? Outside of the few tech savvy people I know, most lay people have no clue what h.264/5 are either. They know mp3 and that just means digital music to them.

It doesn't have to have an evolutionary narrative, it's part of the variation that evolution can act on though and what is beneficial or deleterious depends on the circumstances individuals and populations find themselves in.

You can run a separate db server using local storage and use NFS only for the data volumes for the applications themselves.

If you are too young to have lived through the napster revolution it's very much a throwback to that kind of sharing so you get to experience p2p like it's the late 90s only with good network speeds. For an authentic experience limit your download to 56k.

As opposed to the "dunt werk on my machine" that was being replied to? To a bystander deciding to investigate Jellyfin for music themselves both points of view are useful are they not?

IMO these kinds of poor man's automation scripts are only useful to novice sysadmins but those are exactly the kind of people who shouldn't be running scripts they piped from the internet for both the fact that it's risky behaviour and the fact they don't then get the experience doing this manually for themselves to move on from being novice.

That said, let's not gate keep. If novices don't want to gain experience actually doing sysadmin work and level up their abilities and just want stuff that will probably work but that they'll not be able to fix easily if it doesn't, at least it's a starting point and when things break some of them will look deeper.

That isn't true though, plenty of people engage in creative endevours just for the pleasure of it.

Maybe this channel wouldn't but as soon as it started relying on other people and platforms there was always the risk those wouldn't align with the creative message and something would have to give.

Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.

If you are running a business then you should either toe the line with your platform provider or make sure you have alternatives in place to move away from them if you value full creative control.

I don't think it's particularly popular either, no one seems to even really know about it.

I think the key thing there that tips off they weren't really illnesses/disabilities was that those caused other people issues and discomfort, not the people "suffering" from them.
