i moved my mbin instance from one of the more expensive options, amazon, to hetzner coming up on almost a year ago now.

they have some used, dedicated servers that you can get diirt cheap. when they raised all the prices mine went up maybe 3%. and thats after more than halving my monthly cost by moving there in the first place. no big deal.

its clearly their cloudy hardware (scaling) used for ai nonsense that they are pushing rates up on, for those obvious reasons. they dont give a shit who pays and theres lots of stupidly deep ai pockets at the moment

you should always voice your pain points to your manager. its your manager you gives you the authority to enforce your boundaries, and then you will have to continue to broadcast them (your boundaries) in those environments. having worked with medical staff, i understand they are challenging personalities. doctors are sometimes the worst people.

what you let happen to you becomes expected of you.

ask your manager if you can leave the immediate area ( or some other mitigation) for achieving your 30 minute break.

yes, the fascist oligarchy is all out in the open now

im a simple user

I don't really like watching things

then this shit aint for you. just because you can do something doesnt mean you have to want to do it.

im old and have been doing this for almost 30 years. long before jellyfin; my kids never suffered commercials, never had to worry about some streaming service going up or down. they never had to care whether some source had the show they wanted. even when away from home, they were streaming my shit.

my very large curated collection may be less random than some iptv streams, but sure as fuck is more reliable, dependable, quality controlled and well, i dont even need to have fucking internet access for my shit (my library) to work for me.

nuthin a bullet couldnt fix.

well, if the shoe fits.

sigh. fair.

its free chocolate milk at the end, how can anyone pass that up??
