Yes, this is the

do the things the way I like because I can think of three reasons it’s technically superior but not practically useful to do so" people.

Camp I was talking about. You’ve your reasons, you’ll bikeshed about it for months and no one gets anywhere and no one is happy aside from the people that enjoy the arguments

Irc was never searchable, but that was never an issue before.

Clean git histories are fun for the people who care, but they are also mostly useless.

I’ve been around a lot of arguments about the commit standards in teams and it’s always boiled down to the “I don’t care, but I don’t want to spend time doing anything special” people vs the “do the things the way I like because I can think of three reasons it’s technically superior but not practically useful to do so” people.

Bikeshedding at its finest

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.

I’m all for shunning and making fun of reddit but this post is just kinda sad and pathetic. Have fun talking to a bot I guess.

I’ve been around open source for 20+ years and can tell you right now that it don’t work that way. An issue tracker and a wiki is not a community.

Most older open source communities were built on irl connections and irc, with some mailing lists thrown in. Hell, we even funded conferences just around the software, not to sell a product but just because it’s good for everyone to be talking to each other.

The issue tracker tracks the status of things, the wiki is generally user focused. It’s not where development happens or thinks get built.

I’m making a point, I’m not actually asking you to answer those questions…

what benefits do you get from that painting being blue? what benefits do you get from eating an orange vs an banana? explain yourself.

It’s weird to ask “what the point of open sourcing this product”, do you ask what the point of keeping the source closed is?

20 hours of playback. Not 20 hours of idle.

That’s a lot of work to avoid just donating money tbh, buy the merch for you, donate to support

They take advantage of viewer federation a lot, webrtc is used, so all the simulated browsers are sending the video to each other rather than hitting their server. So their setup is really just a part of the p2p swarm, like a single client in a bitorrent network. Doesn’t use anything fancy above that.

Honestly, it’s only a setup that’s gonna get far if you serve very few videos, and the P2P client rate is high. Their “real world” assumption of 50% of all clients being p2p enabled is way too high, and they couldn’t limit p2p bandwidth so all the clients were sending data to each other at lan speeds.

It’s interesting, but it needs to actually leave the simulation and enter real world load to know how things shake out.

Solar panels and mining crypto when the sun is out and electricity is free. Nothing else will bring you any profit. And it’s unlikely you’ll be able to mine anything in any time length that is useful

Same service, more money, please

this is a really helpful place to talk about how profits != revenue.

So after spotify pays itself all the money it might want to take from subscriptions and ad revenue, you are left with the “profits” which now get split 30% in favour of spotify.

They have 10000 employees. No, I don’t understand why, either. They take the vast majority of the cut. They pay somewhere between $0.002 and 0.005 a stream. So if you stream your favourite song 500 times, your favourite artist might get a penny depending on label cut.

good reminder that platform holders like spotify and then labels hold almost all that revenue and artists see barely any of it. This has been true forever but the addition of spotifies and apple musics in the mix just removes more money from artists in this equation.
