    Late 30’s divorce here about 5 years ago… It takes a while to start over all the life planning but once it gets rolling, things are so much better. That emotional bullshit you fight every day lifts off your shoulders and you can be more focused on the important stuff.

    You won’t notice it for a while. Keep going.



  • I was an early adopter to Plex, came over from Boxee when it was a thing and bought a very inexpensive lifetime pass.

    I jumped ship about a year ago to jellyfin. I use tailscale and just help people set it up. After initial setup, it’s a toggle and start jellyfin and it functions pretty close to Plex. My users use the Onn box or Nvidia shield. Almost nothing has to transcode. I had issues with poorly encoded mp4 files but mkv streams flawlessly without transcode. Transcode itself is limited by graphics chip.

    One note, I don’t add people to my tailscale, each user has their own tailnet and then I join it to mine by inviting them to my server. This gets around the 3 user limit.

    Overall, some annoyance and pain but not bad and people went along with my plan and now it’s just normal.

    My thing was, it’s my server. If they want what I have then buy an Onn or whatever and spend 15 minutes setting things up. Or don’t. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯



  • Every headline telling me how close they are to broke, or collapse or ruin… Makes me realize how much I don’t understand about economics and geopolitics because these headlines have been the same for the last two years.

    I’m not saying it’s inaccurate but when I’m broke, I’m broke and I can’t keep paying rent for another two years.

    I see 1000 men dead/wounded a day, 200 vehicles, ships, etc every day and yet with a gdp the same as New York state they seem to have unlimited resources. How would New York alone fund a war for 4 years and run a country and have an entire military. None of it makes sense to me how they are still fighting.




  • Cinematography is excellent, acting is great and it has some heavy hitters on screen. The story, well, it had to be your type of movie. I’m not a critic. The movie didn’t land for me and my opinion formed pretty early because the topic wasn’t something I was interested in.

    None of the characters grow. There’s no exploration of the outside world beyond the characters. It’s very character driven in every aspect. You only see what the characters can see. IMO, every character has significant flaws and weren’t likeable. It can be one or the other but not both.

    I enjoyed the film for its good aspects but i won’t be doing a rewatch.


  • I thought it was really engaging even for a longer movie.

    I honestly thought though that the whole school shooting part didn’t have much that couldn’t have been cut. There’s 100 reasons why clones would be a thing other than school shootings. It was too on the nose and cutting would drop 20-25 minutes from the movie and not lose anything from the main point or story.

    If I sold someone this as a comedy, I don’t think I’d be doing a good job. It’s funny but has some serious topics it dives pretty heavily into and some people will be caught off guard like I was.
