I run Kubuntu and it isn’t that bad, but it’s definitely less reliable than Windows. Often KDE seems to completely crash, requiring a force restart of my system. I also have a bunch of monitors that turn off via a smart plug when I leave the house, and it sometimes doesn’t like that.

I guess if I wanted AI in HA this would be how I’d want it done, but I don’t really want it at all, so that’s sort of a moot point.

I’d second the fact that it’s really difficult to do it, and that you genuinely need to enjoy the process. More likely than not, you won’t “make it” and you’ll just be doing it as a hobby. Though, more than anything, you just need to do it. You might not know what to say today, tomorrow, or next month, but eventually you’ll find a rhythm and know what works for you. There’s no way to find that rhythm if you aren’t making anything.

My source for this is the fact that I’ve been doing YouTube for nearly 2 years now, creating weekly videos. I think they’ve been of pretty good quality for about 14 or so months now. I have just over 500 subs which, while I’m super proud of and thankful for that, isn’t even enough to enable ads on my channel. I also specifically chose a niche that’s a tad easier to stand out in, as the market for gaming videos is so so so saturated and difficult to stand out in, as the barrier for entry is so low.

I don’t mean to discourage, and of course wish you the best of luck, but I do want to share a realistic view on it based on my experiences being a small potato YouTube creator.

What about disabling the shitty anti-cheat or even just enabling it on Linux so I, as a 27yo, can play the damn game?

I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I’ve still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.

All of that said, I did just check and it’s way more difficult to find now. It’s near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.

Figured I’d ask here as thought self-hosters would care most about looking after their photos.

Couldn’t be more wrong in my case. I host immich so I don’t have to worry about taking care of my photos. I hate taking care of my photos. I hate organizing them, and almost never go back to look at them anyways. Immich just yeets them onto my NAS and I can use visual search to sometimes find what I’m looking for with nearly zero effort from me.

All of that, to answer your question, I just throw them on Immich and they appear on the timeline in roughly the correct spot. I also will often share a link, asking friends and family to upload to my Immich server.

Occasionally a video I like will get to trending and I’ll question my taste in media.

Use browser plug-ins and revanced.

I’m not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.

Host both. Keep plex up for your gma, Jellyfin for everyone else. Tbh Jellyfin is also pretty intuitive. Currently I’m hosting both, but my gma doesn’t use it, so I’ll probably move completely to Jellyfin.

He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.

I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.

It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.

As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.

Tbh I didn’t think of my stuff as a home lab, though I guess it is. I just call them my home servers. Sounds cooler and is a better phrase for describing to non-techies imo.

My thoughts exactly. My Xbox is spying on me instead.

And if it does, they’ll thank him for helping them to disconnect.

Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.

Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.

Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this

Sweet sweet irony.

If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?

Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.

Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.
