  • Fredthefishlord made some great points. Your timeline is completely off and unrealistic. The major controversies surrounding Musk have only really come to light in the past couple years. Before that, buying a Tesla was seen as a green, eco-friendly option with newer technology. Expecting people to trade in their Tesla immediately, or even within a year or so, is just unrealistic.

    Second, financing exists. Not everyone who buys a nice car is well off or in a position to trade it in, and even if they are, that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for them. Trade-ins still usually require a deposit if you want something equally beneficial. Not everyone can afford that, especially with how recent all of this is. You act like this was some long-term open secret when in reality a lot of people bought their cars before any of this was common knowledge.

    You argue like a Republican. You ignore the actual points made just so you can keep pushing this closed-minded idea that everyone should see everything exactly as you do and act at the exact pace you expect. If they don’t, they deserve to be attacked and have their car destroyed, even if it’s their only way to work and make the money they’d need to replace it. That’s absurd.

    This is just selfish and short-sighted. “They don’t think like me so attack them until they do” is not activism, it’s just stupidity. You’re advocating for harming random people (yes harming people’s method of travel/income is harming their livelihood) who might not even support Musk, just because you assume they do. At best you’re wasting energy. At worst you’re hurting people who don’t deserve it.

    I download all my content to my laptop/phone and then just run a server from there, either using jellyfin, vlc, or casting software to my firestick.

    But since it’s a month long, it’s a decent amount of content. I mean, you’re already planning on buying ram so you could spin up a virtual server for like 15 bucks or less and just use that for a month.

    Also since you’re bringing this pc, it doesn’t have to be crazy. I’d just use Windows or any OS you have and serve my content on the network using Jellyfin or VLC. Since it’s jellyfin you can use their clients and avoid transcending, and should be set on a mini pc.


  • That’s a fair opinion. I could never imagine contracting someone to put content on my website, then making my end users pay to even see that content just so I can ensure I can pay my writers, knowing it drives most traffic away. An ethical and intelligent website host would ensure more consistent and effective ways of bringing in income, which is their responsibility.

    We live in a digital age where most of everything on the internet is free. Putting your site behind a paywall is a surefire way to ensure your website will receive less traffic in this day and age, but to each to their own.
