Ugh, I'm migrating a jellyfin instance across to an entirely different operating system (Windows to Linux Container), and it does not want to be straightforward. https://jellyfin.org/

@purserj@aus.social @thorne@rants.au : Getting a second-hand PowerEdge with 48TB of spinning rust included has greatly reduced the space constraints in our household.

@purserj@aus.social @thorne@rants.au : We sure did!

@vk5qi@cloudisland.nz : It sure did! 😢

My goodness, what happened this season? There seems to be a *lot* of motivation attributed to people who are working a two-year mission for the hazard pay as a job away from their families. There's a *big* difference between going on strike because conditions aren't fair, and going along with whatever BS Ed and Dev have cooked up. Plus, if you have the delta-V to move an asteroid from trans-Earth injection to Mars orbit, surely that means after refueling and re-anchoring you've also got the delta-V to move the asteroid from Mars orbit back to trans-Earth. Sure, you might have to wait until the next transfer window opens, and there's logistics and so on, but this is a show that's aimed squarely at space nerds. You can't gloss over this. Am I missing something?

I have such mixed feelings looking at us going through the collapse of western civilisation. On one hand it has the possibility to do a lot of good, to reduce much of the inequity that western civilisation maintains. But on the other hand, the transition can be rough, and I want people to be okay. Collapse rarely happens all at once, and so I desperately hope for a transition that's as smooth as it can be, but I know there will be shocks along the way. The biggest thing I worry about is foreign trade and food security. Complex systems are the first to collapse, and while international trade is not the most complex, it has lots of moving parts and complex inputs. I don't have any good solutions here expect to build communities, keep a supply of emergency fresh water, and (if you can) some shelf-stable calories like dried rice and beans. If you have space for a garden, that's great, but not everyone does. I just want everyone to turn out okay.

Also, relieving Ed of command and sending him back solo? What the heck? Having a solo astronaut on the base or in the CSM is *hugely* dangerous; if anything goes wrong they don't have a buddy to save them. I get that in this alternate timeline NASA is taking more risks, but *voluntarily* having unbuddied crew on lunar missions feels like an unacceptable level of risk.
