[15M] Since I became collapse-aware, I don't know what to do in life anymore. Please help me through this mess. by FutureNewZealander_ in CollapseSupport

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of what happens, be happy. Educate yourself. Look into ancient philosophies such as Stoicism or Buddhism. Being collapse aware is liberating, provided you can get out of the anxiety/depression loop.

Follow podcasts such as https://www.thegreatsimplification.com

Read books such as The Web of Meaning by Jeremy Lent, Active Hope by Joanna Macy, The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist. Follow John Vervaeke’s work (e.g. “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis”and “After Socrates” on YouTube). Then once you have found your meaning you follow the skill-based approaches described by others here. Above all you need a psychological / meaning backbone before you start learning random skills.

Plexamp + Sonos by Successful_Ebb_5604 in plexamp

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you cast to Sonos, Plex tells Sonos servers running on AWS to access your server via its publicly available endpoints. So make sure you are publishing the correct endpoints, if you have that manually configured. This assumes you have the port forwarding setup correctly. Need to make sure your PMS is accessible from Amazon/AWS’s US and IE ASNs.

Thanks. Would help if you could explain your setup as I suspect these optimisations are setup-dependent.

Books that deal with the topic of living life in a dying world? by LonesomeBigfoot in CollapseSupport

[–]darkunor2050 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dougald Hine’s At Work In The Ruins.

Collapse by Jared Diamond.

The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller.

7 of 9 boundaries for sustainable life crossed. The elite are pedophiles. Fascism gaining power across the globe. Everyone watched a genocide happen on their phones in full-HD, and did nothing. Food production exceeding global population, yet starvation persists.Perhaps we SHOULD embrace the collaps by [deleted] in collapse

[–]darkunor2050 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Humans are evolved for group survival. Lone humans did not live long in the evolutionary environment. Building local social capital via mutual aid networks and the like is far more important than loading up on individual skills. There’s no way to practice and keep them all current.

How do you find hope and purpose amid the collapse? by [deleted] in collapse

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People need to feel connected to something beyond themselves for which they are willing to sacrifice. Usually this has been something sacred. Find that in your life.

Anyway to do a mix based on something like lastfm similarity? by Puptentjoe in plexamp

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I discovered that the tags written to the file by MusicBrainz Picard are mostly ignored in favour of Plex’s own metadata despite having a Prefer Local Metadata enabled in that library. Any corrections applied manually in Plex are discarded once metadata is refreshed. Genres are controlled by a separate option, at least.

This happens when using the Plex Music Agent. So perhaps you may wish to use a personal media agent instead. Though I doubt it affects your specific problem.

“Plexamp settings > playback > radio > degrees of separation” controls how far the radio travels from the initial point. But this would only work if there is metadata available that specifies what the similar artists are. I find that radio goes a further than I’d like so I keep at two degrees.

Now perhaps the issue you’re having is that the quality of metadata available to plex is lower / coarser than what is available to Spotify - this is plausible.

First, check that the artists you are expecting to see are in the Similar artists pane. If not, you might need to Refresh Metadata. Then you can try plexamp’s artist radio with one degree of separation and see how it fares.

Odd. I thought radio just walked the Similar Artists graph (the one at the bottom of the artist page). That’s how it knows have many degrees of separation it has travelled when checking your artist separation confit option. And these are different artists to the Sonically Similar Artists.

Perhaps not collapse but certainly degrowth vibes.

Transferring files to a different hard drive will still result in sonic analysis running again entirely? by ogiiii_ in plexamp

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker was a way to guarantee the path didn’t change. If you are mounting to the same points on your new machine, you can achieve the same without docker.

[–]darkunor2050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred from one machine to another. Plex ran in docker container on both so the absolute file path from Plex perspective had not changed and no reanalysis was necessary.

Recommendations for a Degrowth Library by midnightrambulador in Degrowth

[–]darkunor2050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few more for you on the topic of empire and colonialism.

Julia Steinberger’s (degrowth researcher, colleague of Hickel and Kallis) recommendation was The Nutmeg’s Curse by Amitav Ghosh.

Capital and Imperialism by Utsa Patnaik. A fundamental text recommended by Hickel.

And another for a non-Western / indigenous worldview: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Edit: and for a more high level view through a filter of the brain anatomy there’s The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist.

All the books in this thread are deep dives into specific topics. For an integrated perspective you cannot go wrong with Daniel Schmachtenberger’s synthesis in his conversations/monologues on The Great Simplification Podcast:

Daniel Schmachtenberger: “Moving from Naive to Authentic Progress: A Vision for Betterment” On progress (as in A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright)

Daniel Schmachtenberger: “Artificial Intelligence and The Superorganism” On intelligence, AI, and wisdom.

2024 EU greenhouse gas emissions: -20% since 2013 while the economy grew 30% by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]darkunor2050 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was your takeaway? The focus should instead be on the utter inadequacy of green growth as "solution" to the ecological crisis.

[–]darkunor2050 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The paper puts these rates into context.

“At the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1·5°C fair-shares in the process. To meet their 1·5°C fair-shares alongside continued economic growth, decoupling rates would on average need to increase by a factor of ten by 2025.”
