Yes they laid these folks off for the express purpose of funding more datacenter buildouts because they were not funding banks willing to to loan them the capital.

Illegal in parts of the U.S. as well

Which blows because Nutanix sucks lmao

Hydra-electric power

Ngl this raised my blood pressure a few points

Supposedly you can’t use Calibre to remove DRM from Kindle E-books anymore since Amazon no longer lets you download the raw files to a computer. The only workaround I’m aware of requires you have a kindle device.

Of course you could find an alternative form of ebook acquisition

I wonder if this means their selfhosted server is finally production ready?

Relax, it is in fact just a media streaming application. It is an application that streams media. It does nothing else.

It’s a server application that just streams your media. You’d still need some kind of device to install the client on.

Jellyfin is just a media streaming application

Must get very small, very quiet, require zero ongoing maintenance besides an automated update mechanism, and have a single unified UI across all apps that the user can’t easily escape out of.

Yeah and the experience just wouldn’t be very good. I have a lot of experience with mini PCs auto loading into web dashboards and it never works quite as well as you want it to

I’d like it to be sponsored by no one but the people that make it personally.

Looks very promising

People have been trying to do that for a long, long time, with various levels of success. There are a dozen options out there to try, but the scope of that kind of project huge compared to a simple streaming appliance OS.

I’ve never used it before but it sounds like you’re sorta describing NixOS? That might be an option to sorta Jerry-rig this idea together.

Yeah JF + Tailscale in one of them $20 Walmart Google TV boxes works well enough but like, I’d love to drop the Google part entirely.

One of the things on my FOSS wishlist is an open source alternative to Roku/GoogleOS/Apple TVos, etc. there are lots of FOSS apps on these various platforms, but those apps almost always have varying levels of quality and availability across them.

Right now the closest you can really get is media center PC, but what I really need is something relatively plug and play I can send to family members, preconfigured.

Nice try, begone bot. Come prepared next time. You are banished back to big tech land. Back to Gmail with you

You’ve failed to explain yourself properly or make any coherent point or provide any evidence of your baseless claims.

You clearly don’t understand how payment processing works, but since I do I will tell you that yes, there’s a big difference between an ephemeral VPN service that doesn’t need to tie any long term data to your account, and an email service that has to secure and maintain your data for you over a long period of time. These are two wildly different service models and There is in fact a requirement to hold onto payment data in this case. This is why all of Protons competitors do the same thing.

Your technological ignorance and naïveté to the world is not an indictment of Proton. And since you still after all of this time haven’t make a single coherent argument against proton or provided any proof to any of your claims, I’ll have to call it here.
