  • West Virginia boasts the highest coal production per capita in the United States. Living as a descendant of Italian immigrants that moved to the US midwest to mine coal, I'm pissed but this is what a majority of modern miners voted for. We may as well go back to the days of coal miners being the exploited labor of millionaires(billionaires).

  • I hope this doesn't come off as being snarky because I'm trying to give genuine advice from the audience you're probably trying to target but it'd be a good idea to include this bit anytime you're presenting that graphic:

    The fear and greed index is based off of technical measurements of various active markets.

    Very broadly, it is telling you whether or not the financial class, investors, stock traders, corporations significantly involved in that, your 401k managers... are acting fearful or greedy.

    It does a good job of summarizing what I'm supposed to gather from the index.

  • I believe you, but having never encountered this index or representation before. I have no fucking clue what it's trying to tell me. Is it showing whether the public is fearful of the economic momentum or feeling greedy? Greed doesn't seem like a good thing.

  • I literally just argued the opposite with my FiL. I think property should be illegal to inherit. If you have multiple children, you usually end up with a disagreement on what to do with it and how to split it up. It allows the consolidation of property for wealthy families.

  • You're just factually wrong. Now you may have an argument that someone that's driving drunk may be a better driver than someone that's a bad driver while sober, but alcohol impairment reduces inhibitions, increases reaction time, impairs motor control, and alters judgement. That objectively makes you a more dangerous driver compared to your sober self.

  • You're the one making claims lol. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone paid to spread disinformation. Or maybe you volunteer. I've got not idea. Either way, since you made the claim, the burden of proof falls on you. We'll wait.

    Blues win a franchise record 12 games in a row with 5-4 win over Colorado Avalanche.

    ST. LOUIS — Robert Thomas skated into the left corner of the St. Louis Blues’ defensive zone, flipped the puck up to himself with his stick and held it in his glove.

    There was no time left on the clock, so Thomas wasn’t looking to add another point to his eye-popping totals of late. He was retrieving the souvenir puck from the Blues’ franchise-record 12th straight victory, a 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche.

    Yes, the club that was the last in the NHL in the 2024-25 season to win three in a row has now won a league-best 12 in a row.

    “I am proud of that group in there to be able to overcome all of the adversity that we’ve had this year,” said Blues coach Jim Montgomery, who took over in November. “Whether that was self-inflicted by us, it doesn’t matter, we’ve overcome it. I’m proud of that group for what they’ve achieved.”

  • I mistyped. It was $330 and it's a manufacturer recertified drive with a 2 year warranty and was only spinning for 3 hours and spun up 4 times. So I don't plan on it failing for awhile. I'll eventually buy more in the future so they can be configured for RAID.

  • I just purchased a 28TB hard drive for $230 $330. It would have taken 5.6 million of these IBM 350 units to equal that.

    To put it into perspective, that would be more than 2 football fields in height, width, and depth (725ft³). And buying all of those units would have cost $896 billion in 1956. Adjusted for inflation that's $10.48 trillion.

    Edit: Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. I mistyped $330 but if you're wanting to get a mass storage drive at the price I did, I got it from Server Part Deals on eBay. They're manufacturer recertified so essentially brand new and come with a 2 year warranty. (At least mine did.) My drive had 3 hours of spin time and had been spun up 4 times according to the drive health report. The way they can sell these for so cheap is by buying deprecated spares from massive data centers in bulk and recertifying them to resell.

  • I think I understand now. Thank you! I will be changing my paths then. It's kind of a moot point since I'll change my paths anyway, but for the sake of my own curiosity, i have a follow up question. Feel free to disregard it if you don't feel like taking the time to answer.

    Hypothetically, my docker setup only allows jellyfin to see /mnt/user as /storage. So jellyfin would report the path to Morbius as being:

    /storage/hdd1/media/movies/Morbius_all_morbed_up.mkv

    when in all actuality it would be:

    /mnt/user/hdd1/media/movies/Morbius_all_morbed_up.mkv

    My intuition tells me that the file path that jellyfin "sees" would be the security risk. So "/storage/hdd1/...." Is that correct?

  • Can someone ELI5 this for me? I have a jellyfin docker stack set up through dockstarter and managed through portainer. I also own a domain that uses cloudflare to access my Jellyfin server. Since everything is set up through docker, the containers volumes are globally set to only have access to my media storage. Assuming that my setup is insecure, wouldn't that just mean that "hackers" would only be able to stream free media from my server?

    Can I have recommendations on open source weather apps that use publicly available weather info for Android?

    I've been using Weatherbug as my "gold standard" for years as an athletic trainer to track incoming storms and lightning strike data during outdoor sports events, so those features are pretty important to me. I've just gotten so fed up with their shitty practices. The ads are getting worse and worse(to the point that they're almost exclusively clickbait malware) and they keep nudging me with push notifications to buy the ad free version. Which is of course a subscription instead of a one time payment. They even tested locking the future radar behind a paywall briefly. They must have gotten hammered by uninstalls because it didn't last very long, but I'm not comfortable with staying engaged with a company that's constantly trying to see what features they can get away with removing.

    Thanks!

    How does Pi-hole interact with DHCP and connection-specific DNS suffixes?

    I'm trying to set up a Pi-hole on my in-laws' home network. I've got everything configured on the pi but ad-blocking wasn't working. So I did some digging into the logs and found that DNS requests were all coming from the router.

    After some reading it seems that the DHCP server that the router used was adding a DNS suffix to all requests (search.charter), so I turned off the DHCP server on the router and used pi-hole's built-in DHCP to see if this would resolve the issue. I didn't have enough time to test the fix, but here's my understanding of what was happening before I changed the configuration:

    I set the primary DNS server to the IP address of the pi-hole in the router settings so they would have network wide adblocking. All of the clients get a DHCP assigned DNS server address which was set to the router's address. I would input example.com into a client's browser, the DNS request would be sent to the router, then the router would act as a client in the pi-hole logs. Pi-hole tel

    Need advice on remote management of a Jellyfin server and Qbittorrent.

    Some background. I set up a Jellyfin server for my family to host TV shows and movies for them for free. I finally had enough of Xfinity and switched to T-Mobile 5G home internet, but in doing so, I lost the ability to control my network's port forwarding. I'm spending literally half the previous amount on internet and getting the same speeds, so I don't plan on going back.

    What I do plan on doing is setting up a new server at my parent's house and running it on their network. Problem is that I'm 2 hours away. My plan is to use Qbit, jackett, and the arrs to automatically download torrents. Is there any way to automatically rename torrents to match Jellyfin's naming convention for organization and metadata downloads?

    Clipboard manufacturers would probably be in a much tighter financial situation if coaches hadn't made a stereotype of breaking them all the time.

    For just $30 + $5 a month, I'm able to share everything with my family. Here's how.

    (Disclaimer: yes, I bought a $180 4TB Crucial SSD too, but my family split the cost with me since they're going to use my Jellyfin server. Whether that counts towards the final cost is up to you. And the electricity cost is pretty negligible to run a Le Potato as a server, but I guess you can count that too.)

    So this all started rather innocently. I was fed up with all the ads being shoved in my face with everything I do, so I finally decided that it was time to set up a Pi-hole on a single board computer. For me, it ended up being a Le Potato. I had never even touched Linux prior to this, so it took me a day or so to get everything set up. I love learning new things so I kind of got hooked on learning my way around Linux basics and decided that I was going to upgrade my setup to a Pi-hole + VPN using wireguard. That was kind of a beast to configure as a novice but I got that to work after about a week. Now I was getting ad free content anywhere I wanted on my phone. I rode that high

    TIL the military cannot enlist a recruit with an IQ measured lower than 80 and is required to keep enlisted individuals with an IQ of 81-92 to less than 20% of the armed forces in active duty.

    (a)The number of persons originally enlisted or inducted to serve on active duty (other than active duty for training) in any armed force during any fiscal year whose score on the Armed Forces Qualification Test is at or above the tenth percentile and below the thirty-first percentile may not exceed 20 percent of the total number of persons originally enlisted or inducted to serve on active duty (other than active duty for training) in such armed force during such fiscal year.

    (b)A person who is not a high school graduate may not be accepted for enlistment in the armed forces unless the score of that person on the Armed Forces Qualification Test is at or above the thirty-first percentile; however, a person may not be denied enlistment in the armed forces solely because of his not having a high school diploma if his enlistment is needed to meet established strength requirements.

    Is it possible to run a pi-hole and Kodi on a shared SBC?

    I'm buying a libre computer (le potato) and using it to set up my first pi-hole. I'm very new to this kind of tinkering, so bare with me. I'm hoping to use just one le potato as both my pi-hole and a media center to run Kodi. Is this even possible for one, and two is Kodi what I should be using for pirating hard to access content? Without a VPN? Or is there a better solution available?
