"online event" is a generous term for "streamed on youtube" unless there's something major I missed somehow.

thanks! it took a while to get here, but it's got phenomenal horsepower. the poweredges are a lot cheaper than you might think. ~$250 USD each and they're incredibly cheap to upgrade and max out on ram

i've been really interested in jellyfin in favor of plex. thoughts?

oh absolutely. without disclosing too much about it, im running multiple honeypots on my network and active intrusion prevention

i think i pay something in the realm of $175/mo. it's really not terrible

i've thought about picking one of those up. refurbished mac minis running linux are really affordable and powerful. like, sub $200

cheers thanks

back at you

kyle did a bang up job with this post. most won't follow it, some will, more should. it's pure signal

thanks much

i know criticism of psychedelics can be a touchy subject, so i'll preface this by saying that i attribute a substantial part of my success today to the things i learned about myself through them. basically, your mileage may vary.

psychedelics have the ability to activate dormant mental illness that can be very difficult to triage and therapy out of someone's life. it might be anecdotal, but i've seen a few people bring things out of trips that have been hugely detrimental to the rest of their lives thus far (20+ years since it happened)

reasoning?

they can be really beneficial to self-exploration, but have inherent risks with a huge potential downside. i know this from experience.
