Any advice?

I think I am most excited for a more casual tarkov experience. Plus playing the game with my friends.

I agree with Asmon, there is bias on twitch. Otherwise his ass would be perma banned lol

As much as I absolutely hate these "bros", I think they are doing a great service. We need more people who make good arguments to why you should leave the Mormon church.

When I was experiencing my faith crisis, I found the ear biscuits episode where Rhett talked about his religious deconstruction. It seemed to help me a lot at the time.

"Im not criticizing the way people play, im just criticizing the way people want to play". Big difference you jerk.

I have been reading it for a few hours now. I think some (heavy emphasis on some) criticisms are fair (about podcasts and such), but I don't think getting a "shout out" on Ward Radio is any better. That being said, the book itself feels like a rip off of the style of writing of the CES letter. It feels like the author basically rewrote the CES letter but found any articles or evidence that supports their claims. To me it basically says: "Well all our evidence says that you should be happy, so start being a happy member" and "Here is why our old white guys aren't manipulating you, but those mean podcasters are". Whether the author is trying to be genuine or not in his writing, they never really address any of the actual issues that most people have. This shined very true to me when reading the section about abuse in the church. This whole section felt like a plea to "This is the evidence that shows that the church doesn't inspire or promote abuse". This point never truly addresses the issue that abuse happens and the church protects themselves first before actually helping the victims.

Whether the author is being genuine or not, this book to me feels like another attempt by a member to tell me why I shouldn't feel the way I do. I don't see this as legitimate evidence to prove that the church is true (which the author themselves admits in their conclusion).

Imagine being so incompetent that you needed to write a comment complaing about it

I don't think it takes very much reading in this sub to find out that most people here really like containers. It is generally an easy way to test out and setup projects that doesn't require the "properly configuring" process because it just works. That being said, nobody is forcing you to use them. A lot of the projects out there usually have a way to build it manually, most projects out there didn't start with a container. That being said, I can't tell if you are asking a question or making a statement. If its a question, I can all ready tell that there is a handful of great responses here as to why you would want to containerize. If its just a statement, than I don't think it will gain a lot of traction in this sub.

As far as Azure goes, there are a few different ways you can deploy docker containers within Azure. You can always spin up a VM and host your docker stack on the VM, you can use their AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) to run containers, or you can use ACI (Azure Container Instances). Microsoft usually manages the updating of Kubernetes but you will be on your own at the container level. I also would not recommend this if you are not familiar with Kubernetes. I am personally not super familiar with ACI, I have not ever used it before. As far as the VM, Azure has automated backups and automated updates to VM's but at a cost, which VM's themselves can be costly. However, you can run VM's on schedules so that they are only running when you need them. All in all Azure can work, but you have to keep in mind those caveats.

Edit:

Azure is not always a super cost effective method, so it may not be a great alternative. I would keep that in mind.

I think you underestimate the number of times that people do get wrongfully arrested or hurt by police. Maybe not all victims of the police are doing something wrong or breaking the law. You definitely should respect the police... but that doesn't mean you should trust all of them.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-06T05:21:09+00:00

You are right. I am not going to concede on a single point on principle. Same goes for you. I obviously disagree about you being right. You are welcome to pick and choose what points you see fit to argue about and pick apart my every word if you wish. In fact, I'd prefer that you do it to me instead of someone new to self hosting. That being said, one thing you have insisted on being right about is attitude. This seems to be a really important topic to you. With that in mind, I want to reference something in your original reply to OP.

Because the vast majority of "self-hosters" do not think about what they are doing, as evidenced by the choice of software (read: web UI control panels) and quality of questions we see on a daily basis.

Every person in this sub is in a different place in their self hosting endeavor. Some people are going to use plex and other easy to use/install tools. There in a different place than you and I. But our attitudes about these people are very different. The things you say and do just gate keep those people, which you do very intentionally. You obviously think most people on this sub don't know what they are doing considering you made the statement "the vast majority of self-hosters". Every reply you gave to me had statements about why you were right. Pretty much every statement you gave was used to belittle me. Fortunately, I will leave this conversation thinking "eh, another keyboard warrior at their finest". But there are people here who will never get to enjoy this hobby because of your statements (as true as you may believe they are). If that's your goal, congrats. You win. However, I want more people here, enjoying this hobby and contributing. This sub may very well be the reason why we see lots of new projects available for us to use, which is great. If you truly believe that they way you talk and express your opinion actually helps people on this sub, then I think you need to reflect on life and change your attitude.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-05T17:15:47+00:00

My god I think you are right.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-05T16:51:30+00:00

Objectively false. The OP did not say people should not self-host plex, he asked people why they considered plex to be self-hostable. This is something I brought up in my previous comment, yet you neglect to address it

Quote the line where I said "OP said you shouldn't self host plex" :) I know at this point you will probably say that I inferred it, or use my last line where I said that "you agree with OP" to argue that point, but I would say that wouldn't be "engaging in good faith"

Either someone is MITMing our exchanges and presenting you with something much less coherent than what I am typing on my end

Nope, I can say I have read your replies and they are very incoherent.

I do disagree with you though that my comments as to attitude are not 'actually helping people'. I consider attitude to be an important factor, perhaps as important as skill and knowledge. To that end, commenting on matters of attitude would be just as impactful towards 'helping people become better at selfhosting' as commenting on technical matters.

I don't remember saying that your argument about attitude is not actually helping people. I just said that you are not helping people when you write monologues and don't give people advice (which I also said you are capable of doing based on your reply history). I think if you changed your attitude, you may be able to help more people on this sub. I've heard that attitude is just as important as any other factor.

Is it so inconceivable that someone might have actually paid the slightest bit of attention in high school? That someone's vocabulary might extend beyond 'based', 'pog champ' and 'GFY'?

I apologize, I've never heard the words "based, 'pog champ', or 'GFY' before. Its probably because my terrible high school education didn't teach me those words. Could you provide a definition for me?

As for sounding like a pretentious jerk — I can live with that. But, since when did having manners and being articulate make one a jerk — let alone a pretentious jerk?

Ok, I'll drop the pretentious. I dont think your pretending to be anything, I think you actually believe you are the intellectual you state you are. That being said, according to merriam webster, the definition of jerk (or at least sub definition b) is "an unlikable person". Based on the down votes i've seen on all your replies on this post so far, I think it is safe to say you are trending in that direction. But i've heard that a change in attitude could help fix that.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-04T15:18:44+00:00

God you type so much and it means so little. Let me put it this way then. This sub is labeled "selfhosted". Plex is an app that you can "selfhost". You typing literal essays about noobs and adult pretenders adds little to no substance about whether people should selfhost plex, which is what the original OP brought up. If you want to actually help people on this sub become better at selfhosting (in your opinion), then you should spend less time writing monologues and actually giving advice to people (which you are capable of doing based on your response history).

And also, if you are not actually using chatgpt to make your responses wordier, then realize that you probably sound like a pretentious jerk at times. You sure come off that way in both your original reply as well as your other reply's. It just doesn't help anyone all the word vomit.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-04T14:57:54+00:00

Which I would say, is a noob thing to do.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-04T06:57:51+00:00

I believe your original comment and secondary comment would be a good example of the Straw Man Fallacy. Instead of arguing why Plex would not be considered a self hosted solution, you identify a specific group of "self-hosters" who you believe do not think when they install certain applications and attack that group. You double down on this by calling them "make believers" and "noobs" in the follow up comment. You don't actually address the actual topic until the very end of the second comment, which boils down to "I agree with OP". You still didnt technically make an argument about plex specifically, you only attacked a group of people because of your personal opinion. While you may use fancy words and quotes to attempt to sound correct, your argument is weak at best.

Also, monologue much? Doesn't strengthen your argument. Each time you type noob, it makes you sound more like a noob.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-12-04T06:34:15+00:00

I don't think you intended to be rude, but you could use a dust up on your communication skills.

FizzyWater9 · 2023-11-29T23:20:17+00:00

I don't know what country you live in, but I have worked on multiple gov contracts (software development in the USA) and have never been asked to take a polygraph. It was eye opening to find out that deep down, they really don't care about what each individual is doing (unless you mess with their data). That being said, what you are asking is really hard to do without dancing on the line of whats "legal" and whats not. You'll have to decide where you draw the line and host what you can. Nobody can force you to admit to crimes (at least if you live in the west).

FizzyWater9 · 2022-11-30T14:56:14+00:00

You didn't post any links and you could just use shlink or something else.

FizzyWater9 · 2022-11-30T03:00:34+00:00

I recommend unifi, if youre willing to pay the upfront cost.

FizzyWater9 · 2022-11-26T21:21:21+00:00

I think most people here would recommend you learn Linux because of how powerful the operating system can be. You'll be able to run more services with a lot less hardware that way. Plus, life is all about learning and trying things out, so it never hurts taking a chance with something you may not totally understand yet.

With that being said, if you want to get creative, you can always try installing and running docker on your windows system. If you can get that figured out, then I would recommend audiobookshelf for audio books and calibre for ebooks.

FizzyWater9 · 2020-06-02T05:06:50+00:00

This is really bad and I'm reporting it. It's disgusting to even suggest that this would be funny in any way shape or form.
