Keller said he's changed the system so customers with reservations have to pre-pay for drinks, including a service charge. "It's just to protect our staff,"

So, customers not paying tips is forcing the business to pay a living wage, as well as incorporate wages into the price model of products rather than leave it as a hidden morality tax?

Oh, The horror. /s

It's called cognitive atrophy

Your mind works like a muscle; if you don't use it, you begin to lose it.

This isn't a new concept either. For example, alzheimers patients are given puzzle based tasks to aid in stalling degradation of mental faculties.

I particularly appreciate the fact that it's EAs launcher in the meme, undoubtedly one of if not the worst offender for this shit.

Not a yank but I know the details.

The American kid is Otto Warmbier. Tragic case, he stole a North Korean poster, and was arrested. Eventually released to the states in a vegative state, and succumbing to his injuries at 21.

The paint chips refer to people being charged with felonies due to removing debris from the reflecting pool. Still early days yet, so no deaths in custody related to it afaik.

Sure, I'd be more than happy to! It's a home server build that started life as a gaming pc, so it's not a rack setup in any stretch of the imagination. I'm not at home currently so can't give exact specs offhand, but the setup is essentially:

OS: Ubuntu running on 256gb NVMe (not backed up I just replace if/when it fails)

Jellyfin/Navidrome Media: 3 SATA HDDs totalling ~60TB (2 x 15TBs, 1 30TB, no RAID, no backup. I call this my replaceable media, as I can simply redownload if a drive fails)

Config/compose files and 'irreplacable' data stores: 2 x 4TB NVMe (RAID 1, 7 rolling daily backups, 4 rolling weekly to a much more modest machine on the same network. This includes configuration/database etc. for jellyfin)

Entry points are all handled via a single VPS using a wire guard reverse proxy. So I'm using domain based access for all services I'm running. The only one that seems to struggle is Navidrome, which can lose sync. But jellyfin works flawlessly with this setup.

Off the top of my head, I believe the specs are something like:

  • 128GB DDR5 RAM (bought pre AI boom thankfully)
  • AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d
  • Nvidia rtx 4080
  • 2 x fanxiang 4TB NVMe
  • 1 x Kingston(?) 256GB NVMe
  • 2 X Seagate ironwolf pro 15TB
  • 1 x Seagate ironwolf pro 30TB

The case itself is a fractal meshify 2 XL. I got it due to the lack of RGB way back when, but it fits everything listed quite comfortably, as well as an AIO cooling system for the CPU.

If you're looking for large storage solutions, NAS servers definitely fit the bill, and make setting up RAID a breeze. But you can quite easily find large scale SATA based drives, which fit into most mid to large cases, commercial or personal. My current build is nearly at its limit now (I think there's a single available sata port left... Maybe another M2, can't recall), so going forward I will likely invest in a decent NAS, but I've never felt the need for a rack solution if I'm honest.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the server is not quiet. The ironwolf drives in particular can drum up a fair bit of noise when busy. I've got the server setup in my home office, so it's no issue personally. But it would definitely cause me sleep issues if it were in my bedroom.

The total space used is somewhere in the region of 20tb. I recently expanded to it by another 30tb by adding a seagate ironwolf pro hard drive to the build.

It's overkill in all honesty, and I don't have a raid setup/backups on any of my jellyfin drives, I figure none of it is irreplacable, and opted for maximum space possible over redundancy. But one day drives will inevitably fail, and a lot of content will be lost. I also have a pretty hands off style with the content added, so there's no doubt plenty of space I could reclaim if I were to more actively manage the content.

My servers configuration files as well as irreplacable content like immich data etc. are all running on much more modestly sized (but just as expensive) 4TB NVMes, which are in a basic RAID 1 setup. The server itself is running on a 256gb NVMe, with no consideration for redundancy. If the OS dies, I'll just reformat, and spin up services using the compose files stored in the RAID setup.

Glad to hear you're starting them on the foss path young 😁 Mac users are a tough nut to crack in my experience! They're usually very invested in the apple ecosystem, and it makes finding an alternative for their everyday usage a busy task to say the least!

I would tune in to something called terrorball, in all honesty.

The slogan could be. "It's not good, it's terrorball."

It had an unusually long neck and measured up to 20m (66ft) - roughly the length of a cricket pitch.

Seems they're covering metric, imperial and sports field based measurements; The holy trinity of distance measuring.

You should be able to decrypt the messages if you still have the old device to verify the new connection, or if you saved the encryption key that's setup when you first login to the account.

Appreciate it's not as simple as logging in, because that's the point of separating the encryption key from login creds in the first place. Even if your accounts credentials are compromised, previous messages aren't, and any future messages from the unverified device are flagged as suspicious.

XMPP has some good options. I tried utilising mov.im servers, which claims to have E2EE.(using conversations app to connect) Its very user friendly and just works. Though, I'm not sure how the encryption works on there as I'd already got my users used to element, and saw no reason to move (IMO its still a better option than signal due to the self hosting capabilities, but depends on what level of solution you're after)

Apparently there have been so many changes listed in v1 patch notes, that they reached the announcement limit on Steam.
