I would say there’s an evolutionary need to be afraid of things we don’t understand. Lots more examples of that as well.

When it looks like something we think we recognize but it looks unfamiliar at the same time, we don’t understand it, and we want to stay away from it.

Simple as that, in my mind. 🤷‍♂️

This is what I imagine the Reddit developers think of themselves as. 😆

Sorry if it isn’t obvious – I’m facetiously joking in all of these comments. 😇 Just playing on the “fairly good” phrasing and memeing on it. 😉

No. 😞 But maybe I could be, if all it takes is to be fairly good? 🥹

That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

Heck, I’m “fairly good” as a software developer. I’m pretty darn good actually, and have been working for more than half a decade, and I don’t intend to quit. Where do I queue for one of them knightings? 😅🗡️

I’m not too familiar with knighthood. How did he become knighted?

I don’t think that’s the point it’s making, that the old person has a closed mind. Just that they seem to have ideas and values which seem e.g. morally ancient or something similar, but by the time you reach their age your values and world view will have changed to probably be very similar. I don’t see any values being placed on what they are thinking.

Some NotTheOnion type shit.

everything I’ve seen for radarr, sonarr, overseerr, etc. require docker

Back when I was using Sonarr a couple years ago before that really good free tracker died, I wasn’t using docker at all. Just a systemd unit for the server and one for the web interface I believe, or maybe just the one for both. I’m on Arch.

I hope that helps.

Keep the database on an SSD. I put mine on a HDD and it corrupted.

That seems very odd to me, and a very serious bug, no? 🤨 I feel like the storage medium shouldn’t matter as long as it can keep up with data throughput (or eventually keep up, with some help with buffering via the kernel or some other mechanism).

pass the gpu into the container

Man, if the “Download more RAM!” scammers of old could see us now.

but I’m super disenchanted on docker after this thread if I’m being honest

What made you feel that way? (I’m not too familiar with docker much tbh and I’m thinking of hosting on a Pi just like you.)

Took me a good while to realize it was a cone, can’t lie.

enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your devices

I don’t really need to do this ☝️, because I’ve done this 👇.

and only grant notification permissions to essential apps

Never do I get notifications that I don’t want, unless I’ve installed some new app and haven’t fine-tuned its notification settings yet, after allowing notifications from it at all. 👍

Besides all that, I definitely agree that the FOSS lifestyle helps with a quiet digital existence. You only ever take part in information that you seek out on your own. Very nice.

Also not having installed addictive apps like Instagram or Facebook with algorithm-controlled content, really helps keep away scroll addiction.

🤨

Very good points. 👌

Ooh, well that’s wonderful. It’s like some grassroots thing. The inventors of the thing refuse to support it, but the people are adopting it on their own. ✊ I’m happy to hear these “news” (to me)! ❤️

Ah no worries. I found it a little bit difficult to believe that the decision wouldn’t be questioned by the company if it didn’t align with its overall goals. That would be weird.

Exactly my point.

I mean, it’s still insignificant enough that it won’t matter yet, right?

But that’s still good. It’s on the right path. Google needs to get their head out of their ass on this one. Still no sign of it years later though.
