Sounds like a hardware problem.

I feel like this problem should be solved via some form of federation within Jellyfin, but if Jellyswarm works well enough… I’m not gonna make a fuss.

Imagine if our government demonstrated the competence to plan a long term program for Canadian open source digital infrastructure. Then staff and execute it instead of paying fat margins to some faceless corpo to get one service or another.

I’d sign up to work on such a program.

Always has been.

He will not take the subway ot GO train to work. Gotta get those luxury tankmobiles from Etobicoke and Brampton to Queen’s Park without delay, every day!

Gotta watch this film again.

Are mice evolved to eat red meat?

They haven’t. So haven’t we. 😄

I recall over a decade ago, when various instituions like banks and universities were considering cloud apps. Everyone was concerned of data falling into US hands under the PATRIOT Act and how that’d breach Canadian privacy laws. I worked fot a Big 5 bank then. The cloud pushers kept coming up with various schemes to circumvent Canadian law so they can stop supporting their Canadian datacenters. I’m sure they got there eventually.

Honestly I’d like to believe that but I doubt it. This would only be believable if MS’s apps supported E2E encryption and they don’t. Any encryption likely refers to in-transit and at-rest data. Which means the server owner can read anything they like.

We are so fucked if they decide to push…

I’m dowloading a backup and will be seeding it. 😄

What if I told you that in the Eastern Bloc many of the high schools used to be professional. In those schools you’d study most of the standard arts and science subjects, but also professional subjects like machining, automotive (mechanic, driver), construction, engineering, programming, agriculture, textile, food production, and many more. They used to produce ready workers in those fields. As a kid you’d choose which field you want to go to and apply after middle school, pass the necessary exams and get studying. If you wanted to go to university, you’d continue past high school.

Yes my point is that it’s a feature of using the market to decide these variables in the economy, that includes the supply-demand dynamics. If we used some form of planning at the macro level that takes data from the industry and educational institutions, project long term direcrion, and propagate targets or at least expectations down the industry and educational institutions, we could save a ton of real resources and parts of people’s lives, and reduce the negative social effects of this process. Effects that destabilize the whole system if they grow to any significant proportions.

Have they switched to TFWs there?

Can you share the firm or the union representing? I’m curious if it’s a viable place for me. 😄

In software?

That’s not what I meant in that paragraph. I am not saying that universities are merely job training facilities. That was simply an example from my life where these types of professionals have come out of. I’m not making a judgement on universities as a whole. They just so happen to produce the vast majority of software engineers and finance professionals in Canada. That’s why I mentioned the university. If I was talking about electricians, I’d have said trades school, or college, etc. I am absolutely aware of the larger role of universities and you won’t catch me claiming they’re professional training factories.
