  • I’m kinda wondering what the goal is here.

    It’s mostly been suppressed, but there’s a good amount of footage from the day, recording it seemed like a priority. Like, here on Lemmy if someone could somehow avoid things getting removed and post the footage we’d just have someone saying it’s AI or just generically sealioning and then whichever opinion felt more unpopular would be suppressed, but we’re talking about organizations who can actually verify sources.

    My best guess is they’re hoping they find more bad stuff from Israel than Hamas, and that might be a solid play but I kinda doubt it. Most of the footage from the day of I’ve seen just make Israel feel kinda incompetent.














  • Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.

    I’m in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I’ve served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that’s going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.


  • There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they’re mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There’s also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers ‘swarmed’ together, this is also super beta and very new. You’d have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it’s going to be weird.

    Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.






  • There’s an idea in marketing that if you create a solution, you also need to create new problems that you can market. For example, you buy a printer to allow you to print at home but now you need to buy overpriced proprietary ink. Or maybe you buy a phone, but now what can we do to make sure you come back to buy a new phone in 2 years? Truly solving a problem sells something once and that will not satisfy the infinite growth mindset.

    It’s a concept up there with Edward Bernays work in popularizing applying propaganda techniques to modern advertising as the idea that may have done the most to really push capitalism to its worst possible end.
