i didn't have much trouble

    services:
      jellyfin:
        build:
          dockerfile: jellyfin.Dockerfile
        container_name: jellyfin
        group_add:
          - 44
          - 993
        environment:
          - TZ=
          - JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl=
          - DOMAIN_NAME=
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 8920:8920
          - "7359:7359/udp"
        volumes:
          - ./config:/config
          - ./cache:/cache
          - ./config/index.html:/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/index.html
          - type: bind
            source: /mnt/storage/Video
            target: /media
        restart: always
        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

the device and group_add were for integrated graphics passthrough for transcoding (very highly recommend if you're containerized)

i also recommend seerr to pair with jellyfin: https://seerr.dev/

my wife logs into the seerr ui with her jellyfin account, makes requests, they get grabbed by sonarr/radarr, which in turn place them in the correct library, and they're identified & labeled correctly on import

if somebody defects against society very seriously, damaging others, i have no problem with stripping them of legal rights. this is in fact exactly the principle underlying imprisonment. constitutional rights are granted by men, not god, in service of shared prosperity; democracy is good insofar as it produces good results, not because it is the intrinsic source of good. there is no higher construct to appeal to, like this platonic ideal of democracy you're gesturing at

tech wages have stagnated since ~2010 despite being one of approximately three productive growth industries. ever wonder why?

> Well it's because by this logic we should just stop Americans from studying for computing jobs as well, that way those who remain will have higher wages.

generally speaking, the point of 'having a country' is not 'offering opportunities to talented foreigners at the expense of citizens'. major employers routinely violate federal employment law in the pursuit of wage suppression; cursory googling will show you the biggest names you can think of losing lawsuits for hundreds of millions of dollars for their h1b pipelines, and yet they continually do this.

larger pool means lower wages. this is so fundamental and obvious that it feels like i'm being gaslit when i see shit like this.

the problem is that this data exists somewhere where i have no control over it and was collected without my consent, in clear violation of my constitutional rights. perhaps you have perfect trust in the current and future good faith of the US federal government, but perhaps you can understand why others do not. i would not want the local police keeping copies of all of my emails "just in case", why would it be any better for unaccountable strangers to keep secret dossiers on me?

yes, i absolutely believe we are less than two years from what you describe (aside from physically manipulating an instrument -- but robotics seems to be quickly picking up pace too). what you are imagining is only a difference in speed, not kind. this is the 'god of the gaps' argument, over and over, every time some insurmountable previous benchmark is shattered -- well, it will never be able to do my special thing

> thinking (ALL the thinking) on par with a highly trained human

you are mistaking means for ends. "an automobile must be able to perform dressage on par with a fine thoroughbred!"

> LLMs are so, so far from being able to the thinking that goes in a real-time musical improvisation context it's laughable.

have you actually tried any of the commercial AI music generation tools from the last year, eg suno? not an LLM but rather (probably) diffusion, it made my jaw drop the first time i played with it. but it turns out you can also use diffusion for language models https://www.inceptionlabs.ai/

there is no such thing as rehabilitative justice, which is just secularized christian theology of redemption; there is only keeping dangerous or destructive people away from the rest of us. if they manage to reform themselves all the better, but the stats don't indicate any persistent institutional success despite decades of effort and rotating fashions. the thing that actually brought crime down after its tremendous mid-century spike is mass incarceration, ie taking the pareto tail out of circulation

> In the US police and prisons are directly derived from slave patrols. This is history and factual.

and human rights are derived from feudal rights. okay, and? is this just supposed to make you feel bad with scary words?

> Recidivism rates for people incarcerated more than 6 months is something like 66% for one year post release.

this sounds very much like you are mixing up cause and effect. is it surprising that someone who commits more serious crimes is more likely to commit further crimes?

that labor is not compelled and is in fact a privilege; they are given absurdly low wages, but the jobs are still desirable vs sitting in a cell. misbehavior results in privilege revocation.

it would be more like blocking students from nigeria from applying during a period of historical tension between the US and Nigerian governments. there are a huge number of chinese individuals in other countries that did not face any filtering.

beautiful! i made a much crappier version of the same kind of thing a year or two ago with a manually converted libgen db from annas-archive's index, but the best i could come up with was webtorrenting a sqlite db of hashes and importing it into indexeddb then distributing the static fontend bundle as an urbit app; it was much uglier than this
