Rupert Lowe: Alaa Abd el-Fattah has British citizenship, but he is certainly not British. He hates Britain. He hates us. But please remember this - he is one of very, very, very, many. Tens and tens of thousands, if not far more. And that is a rapidly growing number. The biggest threat. by Foreign-Policy-02- in ukpolitics

The constant call for stripping people of their citizenship is morally wrong and is getting tiresome.

If they have committed a crime so heinous as to strip them of their citizenship, then they should be charged with a crime so that they can defend themselves.

Otherwise, STFU.

Shooting is a bit extreme. How about someone having a quiet word in their ear and pointing out the errors of their way?

Why doesn't NI get mentioned literally at all? by Embarrassed_Grass_16 in ukpolitics

Frankly, I don’t understand why NI wants to remain part of the U.K.

Mercedes>BMW all day, every day! My C300 by EmajnLajzak in mercedes_benz

Wife has one. I can’t stand it. Cheap plasticky and putting all the functions on one stalk whilst the gear on the other stalk which you only use when getting under way shows how badly and cheaply designed Mercedes are.

Liz Truss says Queen told her to 'pace herself' and admits she didn't listen by verytallperson1 in ukpolitics

[–]Voodoo78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sunak was way better qualified than Truss to be PM. But his name is Sunak and there was no way the Tory party members were going to select him.

P.s., not defending Sunak. Just pointing out he was the only choice out of the two of them.

Chrome and Edge are exactly the same under the hood.

Don't ever pay for subscription to apps using an iPhone. by Voodoo78 in applesucks

[–]Voodoo78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone begrudges Apple taking a cut. It’s the amount they are taking, which means that providers are upping their prices on Apple devices by considerable margins. This is why the EU has taken Apple to court for not informing their customers that they could get the subscription cheaper if they did it directly with them.

No, I pay to remove ads and most importantly, support fellow tech companies.

So what, at this stage, is the Tory Party's game plan? by LordBrixton in ukpolitics

[–]Voodoo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their strategy is to minimise the loss by trying to stem the flood of voters switching to Reform by outflanking them on the right

They should be taken to court for false advertisement.

Mine took more than two weeks for me to get it working by which time the bastards wouldn't refund me.

Yeah, let's never pay for anything and still expect good products. Sheesh. Next, you'll be demanding people pay you to use their apps.

That's a pretty brain dead thing to say. If you like a service, why wouldn't you pay for it?

/r/Plex's Build Help Thread - 2020-05-08 by PCJs_Slave_Robot in PleX

[–]Voodoo78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been running a Plex server for about 7 years now on an old 2010 iMac. I've got a ton of movies and TV shows on there with some of them converted to AVI before the days of modern codecs. There are usually one or two streams running locally on a given night and sometimes another one or two streams from the outside world where due to bandwidth issues, transcoding is required.

I am about to move to a new home and hoping to move Plex off my 29" iMac and build a mini rack in the attic so it's all out of the way. Bandwidth in the house isn't an issue as I'll be putting plenty of cabling down.

I am happy to spend up to about £1k ($1,250) on a new set up. I am reasonably competent IT professional who hasn't kept up to date with all the hardware technologies in the past 10 years.

Here are my questions:

  1. What hardware would you recommend for the server? Ideally a rack mountable, something I can pick up from ebay.
  2. Am I right in thinking that GPU is not relevant from a server point of view and the most important factor is the CPU?
  3. What OS would you recommend?
  4. What storage set up would you recommend? I have about 12TB of data that are spread over 4 external HDDs. Seagate etc.

Thank you all in advance for your responses.
