That's why you gotta start a Plex share with your friend group - they get content, you get booze. Win win.

HBO Max was the last service I still had before I fully committed to the high seas, for similar reasons. Removing Westworld before many people were even finished with the newest season was the final straw. There's nothing on any streaming service that I haven't been able to get in the same quality through *arr apps onto my Plex, including usually HDR and 5.1 now that I have rules set up to upgrade to those when available.

Imo they're both really good, and I like running both in parallel because some of my friends still prefer the Plex apps and UX (for example in both you can click on an actor to see other things they are in, but in jellyfin it's limited to what you have downloaded. Plex's optional discover feature means it knows about everything you don't have too, so you can click on an actor and see stuff that's not downloaded, watchlist something, then let overseerr send it to the *arr apps)

The rest of my setup would be identical if I was just running Plex or jellyfin and when they idle they don't use any CPU, so I don't see much of a reason not to run both and let people decide which one they like. They also both use quicksync, though I had to change some settings manually in jellyfin to get it to work. I just point them both to the same media folder and it just works.

Better to just gather some friends and split the family plan. $17/6= 2.83/mo, just gotta get 6 people. I wish there was an easier way to discover new music within the same UI as apps that play personal mp3/flac collections otherwise id ditch Spotify too.

Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant

I believe Louis Rossmann said that giving a single dollar directly to a creator is more than a lifetime of watching their ads. Premium I think is really good comparatively but that's only because ads pay so little.

You seem to be moving the goalposts or talking about something different - we're talking about employer obligations when changing between tipped and non-tipped. I quoted the department of labor to show that contrary to your incredulity, yes all employers are required to increase base pay to a higher rate in the absence of tips. You seemed to suggest that employers would not cover any increase in pay if tips were removed - however federal law requires that employers meet a higher base pay for untipped workers. This is regardless of how well a restaurant is doing - if a Michelin 5 star restaurant pays it's employees 2.13 + tip but decides to go tip free, yes they too will be required to increase base pay to 7.25.

The detail about restaurants also being required to cover the difference between tipped pay and 7.25 in cases where the restaurant underperforms is an unrelated detail not central to this discussion. My quote of the department of labor was only to demonstrate the 2 minimum wages between tipped and untipped pay.

US minimum wage laws say yes. See: minimum wage for tipped vs non-tipped employees.

"The minimum wage for employees who receive tips is $2.13 per hour. The amount of tips plus the $2.13 must reach at least $7.25 per hour. If not, your employer must pay to make up the difference."

Last time it stopped working for me I just needed to update revanced manager, make sure the patches were updated on the main screen, and re patch the recommended APK version which had increased. They've done a pretty good job at keeping up

I downscaled from a 12u rack and went with a $1600 synology with $230 ram upgrade, $600 in wd red pros and a $450 Intel nuc10 with quicksync and ill still come out ahead in a few years (~30 months) compared to what it would cost to access all streaming content ad free ($95/mo for netflix, prime, dnsp+Hulu bundle, max, paramount, peacock, and appleTV by my count)

Add in sharing with a small group of friends who pitch in small amounts and the convenience of not needing to juggle 8 logins or figure out where a particular piece of content currently lives and piracy really does win.

For this reason I hope the element X rewrite also replaces element on desktop eventually. The element X beta android app is so much snappier than element with the new sliding sync, it's supposedly 6000x faster but it just feels on par with signal or any other performant app, not being impacted by how many rooms you're in or how big those rooms are anymore.

I am both of these
