Wether you like it or not, some people don’t have the luxury to stop fighting, even more so right now with so-called democratic governments that brutalize, lock up and torture people for their opinions, their sexuality or their skin color.

Ignore these debates if you wish, and disconnect from social networks if you need to rest. But don’t call for people to stop fighting when their very existence is put at risk by people like DHH, that Framework decided to support.

AV1 is not an encoder. If you watch AV1 encoded videos, you’re using AV1.

That happens all the time. There’s no way to guarantee that it won’t happen with any codec or really with anything.

Yes, so there’s no reason to hold back on releasing updates, since it could very well happen on AV1.

It is very expensive to defend against even when the claim is bogus.

The principle behind AV1, once again, is to have a modern codec that is out of reach from patent trolls. Those who are part of the AOM consortium, which developed this codec, have all contractually agreed to unconditionally license all patents they hold that are necessary for the implementation of the codec.

And those who are not part of the consortium and who would like to claim patents relating to the AV1 or AV2 codecs would have to face the legal teams of the companies part of said consortium, including Amazon, Alibaba, Adobe, AMD, Cisco, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla Foundation, ARM, Huawei, Samsung, Tencent, Meta, Nvidia, Apple, Netflix, and other large companies.

The AV1 and AV2 codecs, after perhaps H264, are the most secure codecs available today in terms of patent trolls. Nobody has both the will and the means to attack it.

AV1 and AV2 are both patent free and nobody will be able to grab them to be a patent troll, that’s the point. Maybe you should start educating yourself a bit on the subject before ranting?

No, Jellyseerr is a selfhosted webapp where you request movies and shows, which will be searched and downloaded by your configured Sonarr/Radarr, which will populate your Jellyfin.

You can see it as a user-friendly Sonarr+Radarr front-end, that you can sync with Jellyfin users, so they can go and request content directly without you manually adding things in Radarr/Sonarr.

This page explains the concept better IMO: https://bonfirenetworks.org/apps/

Jacobson is a moron who’s work has been criticized by dozens of other scientists, that he kept suing because he does not like being contradicted.

A country like France would need around 20 truly massive STEPs like Grand’Maison to provide for a single winter night (~60GW for ~14h). That’s 100-200km² to put under water, a massive ecological disaster, and a massive hazard.

And you must find a way to produce enough energy and find enough water to recharge your STEPs in the next 10h before the next night.

And that’s with the current France needs, having only 25-30% of its energy being decarbonized electricity, it’s getting even worse if we go to electrical heating and transports.

Powering an entire country without hydro, geo, nuclear or fossils is just plain science fiction. And hydro and geo cannot be built everywhere, so realistically, you either go fossils, or nuclear to have clean electricity.

And you can verify it empirically: even with trillion invested in solar and wind, the only countries which have decarbonized their electricity have massive hydro/geo/nuclear.

Which laws? There are none written yet.

Private platforms owned by billionaires =/= Free speech

Protecting children from these cesspools is a matter of sanitary measures. I would even go further and just kill Meta, Twitter, Tiktok and the likes just for being major platforms for espionage, disinformation, and democratic destabilization, particularly used by hostile foreign powers.

I already answered your second paragraph: Jellyfin holds no sensible data.

And there is no central server gathering data from all users, an hacker would need to find and break in multiple Jellyfin instances, to get useless data from 1 to maybe 10 users each time.

And Plex is not easier to install and secure than Jellyfin.

My Jellyfin is behind a Crowdsec + Cloudflare proxy with geoblocking and other protections + Reverse Proxy with additional protections, in a rootless Docker container with no access to the Docker socket, and has only access to a mounted folder which contains just downloaded movies and shows. The effort to break in is high, the reward very low.

But the most important difference between Jellyfin and Plex is that neither Jellyfin devs nor Jellyfin instances have any personal or credit card information from their users, and therefore are way less a problem if hacked into.

but right now renewable energy is by far cheaper and faster to build than nuclear energy.

No. Building a solar or wind plant is cheaper and faster than building a nuclear plant, sure, but that’s not what we’re aiming for. The goal is to decarbonize electricity by phasing out fossils.

Replacing all fossil-based electricity production nationwide is quite cheap for nuclear when done right (e.g. France, planning for decades and multiple reactors at once, while actually politically supporting your industry, instead of throwing a project once in a while and letting it fight in courts by itself against NIMBY and anti-nuclears).

Replacing fossils with solar and wind power is science fiction. There is not a single country in the world that has decarbonized its electricity without significant decarbonized and controllable electricity capacities, or to name them: hydro or nuclear. Except that you just can’t build hydro anywhere, and most countries’ capacities are limited.

You can’t claim that solar and wind are cheaper than nuclear, because solar and wind just can’t do what nuclear can, and can at best be complementary to other controllable power sources.

Nuclear has never been cost-efficient, it’s just that the costs have been buried in state subsidies to the industry and its supply chain.

A lie repeated again and again.

French Cour des Comptes has released a report, back in 2012, the costs of the french nuclear fleet, everything included: 121 billions of euros between 1960 and 2010.

2,4 billions a year. To provide decarbonized and reliable electricity for decades.

To put in perspective, Germany is more than a trillion of euros in for their Energiewende, or about 40 billions of euros a year for ~25 years, and they still have one of the costliest and dirtiest electricity or Europe, while still not being close to stop coal and having no plan to get out of gas.

And for more perspective, EDF had 118 billions of dollars of revenues in 2024, mostly coming from nuclear, and 11 billions of net results, including the payback of the interests of the debt that the french government imposed on EDF.

Anyone claiming nuclear has never been or can’t be profitable or cost-efficient is either uneducated or a liar.

When done right, nuclear is profitable as fuck, that’s empirically proved.

Which is an ecological measure, not a technical one, and can be circumvented by existing technologies like cooling towers

I’d say too sparse and no user friendly mobile app. Having your friends all in the same place and being able to join them just by downloading an app using an already available store on your phone does wonders

Nope, it’s a Spotify alternative made in France which emphasize on paying a fair share to the artists and providing a great music quality.

What a bad take. Do you also think the Seven Samurai movie shouldn’t be in a museum because it’s not IMAX?

just $10/month year

You’re talking about a 70’s prototype, but that does not mean it would need a kerosene turbine if it was made nowadays. Actually, the Aérotrain S44 used a linear electric motor.

A train brakes by blocking the wheels on two relatively small rails, and the wheels can lose traction.

An aerotrain reverses its propulsion, using it as a brake. No slippage possible here.

It can also bite the rail, having a way bigger braking surface, as well as having an interface dedicated to braking directly on the rail instead of a brake on a wheel on a rail.

And in emergencies, you can even stop the suspension and let the aerotrain rest directly on the rail to brake. That’s a bit brutal and causes damages (at least back in the 70’s), but that stops the Aérotrain quite fast and is way better than derailing or hitting something.
