you can swap ram while a device is on if you do it early enough in the boot process. on some you can do it even while just in bios! probably not worth it to find out if it works on your device though, this was in 2017 or so on like 2013 devices.

I'm in the same boat. I'm a comp sci student but the amount of tech illiterate comp sci students I meet every day is astounding and concerning

depends on the part of America. in some rural areas no but in the city absolutely

thanks for the explanation. I'll stick with jellyfin for now, I've heard rough things about privacy with Plex and that explains why.

personally, I wouldn't want my files going through plexs servers, especially with how shit I've heard they are with their privacy policy. that's a really interesting concept tho, and makes a lot of sense. I doubt jellyfin will ever do that simply because they don't have the resources to host that as you said.

thanks for the explanation tho! greatly appreciated

I haven't used Plex in a while, but I'm confused how Plex handles WAN connections without using any port forwarding? how is that possible?

really? I never had an issue with just sticking it behind a reverse proxy, doing some port forwarding, and setting an apex domain record, that was it. curious what wasn't working for you?

I am familiar with that principle, yeah. it seems to me like it's become more of a thing of the past. I definitely think that happened in the 60s and 70s (and we're still dealing with the ramifications today) but I haven't heard of any of my friends getting promoted at office jobs in years. it's a younger and smaller sample size though so definitely possible both are at play

I mean... yeah. a lot of us have realized that office jobs tend to be dead end. you're great at what you do? awesome, the company views that as free labor. why promote you when they can just suck every ounce of work out of you for less?

connotation matters. anti-LGBTQ sounds like a political stance, homophobic makes it clear there's hatred and a willingness to deprive people of human rights there.
