Non-profits make profit all the time. The key difference between a for-profit and a non-profit is that a for-profit company takes that money and gives it to its owners, and a non-profit is legally required to reinvest that money in its organization or missions.

Of course, non-profits can also do shitty things like nepo hires with vastly inflated salaries, throw parties and extravagant galas for "fundraising" and spent almost nothing on the charity aspect.

This is why lots of rich fucks setup their own "philanthropy" organizations. They can dump their wealth into tax free and pay themselves and their heirs ungodly sums while paying for villas/jets/etc from the untaxed non-profit.

Sure sure. The guy who unprompted endorsed a trump appointment that has deep US Telco ties, bizarrly said "the GOP is the party for the little guy," had nothing but wonderful things to say about J.D vance, stated that Chuck Schumer slow rolled 2 internet privacy bills because of "quid pro quo" with his daughters working for big tech, used the phrase "triggered" unprompted, and just randomly added "88" to the end of his new user name.

Yeah, that guy is just neutral and disillusioned with the Democratic party. It's not utterly clear what spaces and politics he aligns with. That would just be wholley unknowable.

As long as you have to buy, capitalism doesnt care what it has to sell.

Amen to the weird network quirks. I was trying to use the Tailscale docker sidecar examples, but could not work put how to use them in quadlets.

I expect i need to make a .pod or .network file and comingle the quadlets that way, but just setting up a dedicated tailscale subnet router VM with /32 allowed addresses was about 10x easier.

The company confirmed that the app will cost £114.99 (about $145 / AU$230) initially, with a further £2.69 (about $3.50, AU$5) monthly subscription fee.

Absolute madness. You can do this for like $80 with an endless number of other brands.

If Harrell proposed it, its probably sponsored by the chamber of commerce and a bad idea.

I disagree, as kodi syncs jellyfin DB without issue for me and I much prefer its UX.

The nice part of jellyfin is that they support both kodi and a "jellyfin on kodi" experience natively. Plex has neither, with both being 3rd party apps where the support is hit or miss. I used "plexkodiconnect" for years and was glad for it, but it was a journey to keep working at times.

Here's a pretty good list to get started with:

Awesome Jellyfin

I think there is a pretty easy hack to making tax cuts unappealing to billionaires: pass a law that says each tax payer receives the exact same amount back.

Pass a 4 trillion dollar tax cut that works out to $4000/tax payer? Congrats, billionaires. Enjoy your 4k.

Plex was bought out by venture capital and has been enshittifing for years. "Free" media stream sources added riddled with ads that you have to opt out of, opt out "everyone can see what everyone is watching" features, nebulous "we need to upload hashes of your media to skip credits" privacy issues, abandoning apps for various platforms like kodi, on and on.

I have a lifetime pass, but no longer consider plex a viable platform. The issues are not baseless, but rather based on what plex has decided to do to make money.

Meanwhile, jellyfin is FOSS with no profit motive, no privacy issues, skips intros and credits with no issue, pulls subtitles down and indexes media flawlessly, and has native kodi clients with Database sync support so a show paused in one room can be resumed at the same point in another room.

Hard to beat "slick, private and free."
