I’m wondering if Android has something nicer looking. Plex has PlexAmp which looks great, Emby’s built in music player in their main app looks terrific, FinAmp is like aestheticslly like the stock standard JellyFin app which is awful.

Discrete in iOS at least is just an attempt at looking like a carbon copy of Apple Music. There must be some good looking g Jellyfin music player on Android.

Maybe https://www.symfonium.app/

Since you’re running Jellyfin already, you can put your music in there and use an app like https://discrete.app/ on iOS or something comparable on Android for a better UX

You’re referencing the deep lore.

Noted.lol was around awhile before selfh.st and was actually pretty beloved on the SelfHosted subreddit. Then the guys behind selfh.st showed up and some of the people who were contributing to noted.lol started giving them a hard time for “copying” them or some nonsense like that. Lots of drama. Now you never really hear about noted anymore.

I don’t like flying so I’m apt to drive even longer distances. Driving just a few states over (less than half the country) is often a 12-14 hour drive without stopping.

After a couple of those drives you’ll be in less awe of all the flying lol

They don’t exactly have an excess of land to build datacenters

Organized with who, for what? The unemployment office? What’s going to come up there?

More people would love to join the unions, but they can’t, because they’re on waitlists to join the unions.

If the IWW can’t help you actually get into your local union, then they’re not helping anybody.

I’d be unemployed, who would I be collectively bargaining with, the welfare office?

The high paying jobs already exist. They exist because the industry is already organized. Those high paying jobs are union jobs. Jobs I’m ineligible for because I’m not in the union. Because I’m still on the waitlist.

How does that help me at all?

I’ve actually been really enjoying MacOS because of how they’ve sort of abandoned it. There’s no gimmicky bullshit in it. It’s just simple and old school and just works.

How will this help me get off the waitlist and into a union job?

There’s also a big rift within Catholicism that most people outside of it don’t hear about much.

Yes the Apostle Peter was the first Pope. Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, the Evangelists etc are are offshoots that for one reason or another rejected the Pope and Canon Law.

This is the way the papacy has been for 13 years now.

Good, take your L and leave lol

Naw. I didn’t say anything about banning anything nor about any pseudo-science. No clue what you’re talking about

Tell that to all the people who’ve been on Union wait lists for years.

I love the IT audiobook but you absolute cannot listen to it where somebody might hear it.

For some, sure, but where I work I’m by far the employee with the most familiarity with CLI/powershell and scripting. Almost everything is done via a GUI or web interface if it can be.

I don’t mean this in a disparaging way because I too got my start in an environment like that, but that’s a very legacy environment. When I talk about core principles of working in IT, I mean the state of IT today in 2026, as well as where it’s headed in the future. It sounds like your workplace is one of those SMBs that’s still stuck in the glory days. Thats not what IT is it’s what IT was. And so unless you’re currently end of career, you’re going to have to give that up and embrace this new paradigm or be washed out eventually. So when I say “It isn’t the field for you” in the context of OP I just mean that it isn’t going to get better. It’ll be less and less like the way you know it every day, and more and more like the way OP doesn’t like it.

For example you say you are the most familiar in your entire workplace with “powershell and scripting”, however I literally got teased just the other day by solving a niche problem with a powershell script. “How very 2010 of you”.

I don’t say this to belittle you, as I was the same guy as you not too many years ago. And I get that you’re banging your head against this new paradigm, but this is the stuff you really do want to stick with IF it’s your goal to grow in IT long term. It will click eventually given enough time. I am definitely willing to help you with any questions you might have or perhaps if I have time I can try and demonstrate my workflow for a standard container deployment.

Some questions I would ask you are

• How are you running your docker containers? Run commands? Compose? Portainer or some alternative?
• are you trying to expose them to the internet, or only internally?
• do you use a reverse proxy or are you just exposing direct ports and connecting that way?
• do you have an example of a specific project you struggled to get running?

There are a number of reasons why your docker setup was using too much RAM, including just poorly built containers. You could also swap out docker for podman, which is daemonless and rootless, and registers container workloads with systemd. So if you’re married to the LXCs you can use that for running OCI containers. Also a new version of Proxmox enabled the ability to run OCI containers using LXCs so you can run them directly without docker or podman.

This was added in Proxmox 9.1
