  • Ah i completely missed that context.

    I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations

    Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

    As far as my level of knowledge , people at work come to me because i understand computers, but not for finances.


  • Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?

    I can respect the corporate ability to serve thousands at a time but a typical household simply doesn’t need that.

    Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue and still worked locally.

    Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.

    The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?

    My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.


  • My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.

    Depending on transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.

    Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.

    The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.

    Also Realistically usecase for 4k movies is usually your home couch so it be streamed on Lan speed. Quality is often better than common stream providers because they do cheat to keep bandwidth down.











  • This is known hoax, the source is a lie and the real source is not trustworthy in a scientific sense.

    What is actually on Wikipedia and by the person claimed as a false source is this:

    Funeral rites in animals

    While grief is common to many animals, funeral rituals are not. However, they are well documented in African elephants.[14]

    Ronald K. Siegel writes that:

    one cannot ignore the elaborate burying behaviour of elephants as a similar sign of ritualistic or even religious behaviour in that species. When encountering dead animals, elephants will often bury them with mud, earth and leaves. Animals known to have been buried by elephants include rhinos, buffalos, cows, calves, and even humans, in addition to elephants themselves. Elephants have [been] observed burying their dead with large quantities of food, fruit, flowers and colourful foliage.[15][clarification needed]

    Both wild and captive chimpanzees engage in ritualized behaviors at the death of a group member. These behaviors begin with group or individual silence, which may last for hours and followed by behaviors such as distinctive vocalizations; grooming the carcass; solemn visitation and gazing at the carcass by group members; displays; and lamentation-like whimpers or hoo-calls of distress.[6]

    Attention to the dead is not unique to elephants or chimpanzees. Dolphins have been known to stay with recently deceased members of their pod for several days, preventing divers from getting close.[8] However, the reasons for this remain obscure. While scientists can observe their actions, the thought processes that motivate them are beyond current study.[16]

    Tahlequah (a.k.a. J35), a female orca, carried the carcass of her newborn infant for 17 days.[17]Whether this was a “tour of grief” or merely instinct is debated.[10]

    Crows and other corvids also seem to participate in funeral-like ritualistic behavior, including gathering around and holding vigils over the carcass.[9][
