Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:
Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.
Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?
I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.
Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you’ve configured everything.
I am who my name says and I have a degree in CS if that’s what you are asking.
There are still some errors where you just need to know the fix. In that case it’s a baseball bat.
I get the joke.
But if, like me, you actually feel this here’s how I got away from it: make sure you actually understand things.
Read the error message over and over again, look up the words, understand what it is saying.
If something isn’t working, start reading the code and making sure you understand what each line is doing.
It will feel incredibly slow and painful at first. Eventually you will strengthen those.muscles, however, and it’ll become second nature.
Then you can cut and paste with confidence! 🤣
cop almost killed a man because an acorn fell on the patrol car, just to make sure you’re up to date on the state of the US.
If Netflix is denying you access to the subscription you pay for because you’re using a VPN to connect, that starts to smell like a good class action to me.
🤷♂️ I could spend that two hours with my kids.
You aren’t wrong, but as a community I think we should be listening carefully to the pain points and thinking about how we could make them better.
