I said “apparently” lol. It was still a brave referral link they got money from, so i have no doubt it wasn’t a mistake

Apparently it was an auto complete issue that was fixed within 48 hours, but even still, there’s always something wrong with Brave multiple times a year

Yeah, I like sync too and you can use Firefox sync with all Firefox based browsers.

Brave’s ceo also donated to California political efforts to overturn protections for gay marriage in the past

No, but brave “shields”, aka pre installed but shittier unlock origin, can sometimes break plex or other sites that require certain things that could look like trackers

Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they’ve had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

Don’t downvote me to hell cause it’s a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0

Coding is okay, but the flagship free models usually crush whatever and to have decent memory you need hella VRAM Doc analysis is okay if they’re small, Home assistant isn’t bad but kinda overkill with an LLM when you can just set manual automations, Journalling, gaming, music, DJ’ing, elder care, imagine and video generation, are all relatively bad even on flagship models

Quick overview of searches is fine but I’ll use a free flagship model for that, in depth research tends to not be great

People tend to dislike this, but I LOVE gnome. It runs a lil heavy, but damn it’s clean, smooth, fast, easy & decluttered.

No dot files, no config, and it’s intuitive

Yeah essentially the other tools you had to use API keys, and none of them were FOSS, mostly paid only tools.

This lets you self host both the application interface itself (which can also be an IDE) and use a self hosted LLM

I kinda loved his “you should self host to decentralize from big tech” and “run graphene and Linux to avoid data collection” content, but idk what the local ai stuff is any good for

Tbh I just fanboy any FOSS company like that

This is the part I don’t get, atp you could even ask for a subscription or payment for a well managed private tracker and I think it’d be worth it for a large number of people.

Why are we complaining about free media again???

Y’know what, I never thought about that! I just figured I had to put my verbatim title on there. I think my current boss wouldn’t mind whatever title I choose either, so it works out for referrals?

Makes sense!

You’re the coolest! AND you used Ai as a quick lightweight researcher, which is what it should be used for. You’re fucking AWESOME! so thanks for your contributions!!

that’s valid, but would you rather spend $8/year on a domain and spend an hour setting it up, or pay a monthly subscription to a closed source plex server?

Also, there’s *arr stack applications for helping non-technical users get set up on your jellyfin server, even helping them get set up with request apps too. JFA-GO is also a jellyfin native option for sending user invites.

more details about use case plz. how much storage do you think you need, how many users, how many concurrent users, is this a node or the entire server, is this the sole exclusive use case, do you not want to add more services later, etc

Do you mean 3 CLI formats? Like bash or fish or whatever?

That’s my concern, I believe I’m likely qualified for and could demonstrate the ability to do a lot of these things, but they’re not on my resume as a full time DevOps Engineer @ Tech Company & Co, so my resume gets passed over before I’d ever be able to demonstrate these things in an interview

Arr stack / media server stuff is more of a background task that I wouldn’t mention or put in a resume, and it’s just a personal use case that I’d eventually want if I’m building a server anyways

Ohhh good move! When you say tier iii roles, though, I only have about a year’s experience as a systems engineer, although my boss would let me change my title if I want. Should I list myself as a software engineer or computer engineer instead?
