  • I assume it’s temporary, with the introduction of a new tech it takes time to set regulations and norms for it. That said, I disagree with this stance if it’s permanent, but I’m not nearly as cynical about this as most of this chat section.

    The X-Games is a sporting event where folks risk their lives for our amusement. So giving competitors a few years to learn if a new technology, a technology with different centers of gravity and moments of inertia, can behave in a predictable manner while performing aerial stunts is a reasonable stance from my perspective.

    Otherwise people may rapidly adopt the new tech in competition which could result in bodily harm, battery breaches etc. After all, we aren’t talking about just riding the bikes, but hurling them through the air and slamming them onto the ground. I see a real possibility of a breached battery (an extremely high energy bomb with fast and slow release potential) and an unconscious rider creating real harm.

    I’m curious of others’ views on this take.










  • I actually run nox as my primary client because my server is headless so this is certainly relevant. Well, sort of headless, I broadcast a vnc server then use mullvad to manage qbittorrent thru localhost:8080.

    Or if I wanna manage it from a different computer, create a ssh route to the server from that computer, and well… do the same thing as above.

    The limitation was that I need to open a web browser for both of those scenarios, and I just want to do everything thru the terminal. I know, I’m weird. Ideally I’d love to have a fully featured CLI interface but for now just simple stuff.

    Just don’t wanna go reinventing the wheel. But if my project is original then I will continue to work on it and share it once it’s a bit more polished. The community can always use more projects, right?



  • I have an LG TV. Yes, the jellyfin client app is available in the LG store. You’ll just need to install it and tell it to connect to “IP_OF_YOUR_JELLYFIN_SERVER:8096”.

    Alternatively, the Jellyfin server can broadcast as a DLNA server (in settings somewhere) and your TV’s Jellyfin client may automatically detect the server in that case.

    Speaking to your other question, I use a Sabrent hard drive bay with some 20TiB drives setup as raid 5 logical volumes. It’s a good setup for me.



  • The comment is stating that you treated it as a gotcha moment. Which I agree with… I mean, just read your post again.

    This is living proof that NOT ALL MEN COMMIT THESE ACTS!

    Women are perfectly capable of doing the same damn things, they’re just more sly about it and how often are guys going to complain when they get their dick wet or touched by a girl?

    What the other commenter described is exactly what you did. Stating otherwise means you may need to pause and ask yourself, “Am I deluded?”

    Or even better, just ignore us all and reassure yourself that we’re all crazy. That probably feels the best, and we should always just go with what makes us feel good.

    Anyway, just come back and check the vote tallies later if you have any doubt that what I say is the prevailing opinion.

    And of course, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Sometimes I am wrong. Are you?








  • Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.

    In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.

    I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).

    I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.
