I picked up a #plex lifetime pass last year, just before they doubled the price. An investment largely misspent as I spent the year watching them fail to deliver any meaningful software improvements, and so recently moved across to #navidrome and #jellyfin. But this price hike? Clearly this is the early stages of the inevitable death spiral.
Ah, the #selfhosting journey continues… Last week was getting #Navidrome up and running with #feishin and #nautiline. Today it’s #audiobookshelf and getting my head round the world of #docker 🤯

So, heading into the weekend, it seems likely we’re in for an energy and fertiliser crisis on top of one of the largest financial bubble in history, one that’s already showing signs of instability, in a world economy wracked by inflation, fascism, and increasingly dysfunctional software?

Fun times!

Opinion: The auto industry’s gamble on electric cars has turned into a catastrophe - The Telegraph https://apple.news/AjGv3d7huRgiK-1UvO6F9cQ

Honestly, I know it’s the Torygraph, but it’s hard to read stuff from someone just so determined to be wrong-headed. Traditional auto companies are struggling to sell EVs. Therefore there’s no EV market after all, and we’ve got the EV mandates wrong. But hold on, Chinese companies are managing to sell load of EVs here..? Maybe ‘cos they’re making decent, good value cars?

Companies are now in deep trouble, and it’s a long, hard and expensive road back

ITV can fuck right off with these break-in-play split screen adverts!

Surely with the upcoming Apple/Google Siri collab, we should now be saying ‘Hey Goople’?

So, Starfleet Academy? I’m not sure it’s working for me. Yes, partly because it’s all young adult-y, but partly because the writing feels off, and the casting is ..ugh? This future setting they’ve inherited from Discovery isn’t great either. The science in Trek has always been a bit hand-wavy, but at least felt *consistently* hand-wavy. Now it just feels like they’re making up words as they write
