If you have an old desktop to repurpose, jellyfin is best ran on one of those with an Intel a380 gpu as long as the motherboard supports resizable bar. Cpu-wise jellyfin doesn't really do anything intensive, and intel's gpus all come with the same 2x video pipelines so upgrading to a 770 wouldn't add any performance. If you're buying new, my recommendation would be to get one of those intel white label laptops xpg made for a while. They can be had around $300-500 and come with a intel arc gpu you can use for encoding, resizable bar, decent ram, and a decent cpu. Great little jellyfin boxes.
I see what you mean and understand you. It's very idealistic and I appreciate the thought of it, but it just won't apply to a modern world full of varied people in the way you wish. The reality of it is that most people simply are not interested in participating and it's not in the best interests of any project to expect to change that. Contributions from someone who shares no passion or interest will be less qualitative at best. That's not even to mention that you're likely missing the forest for the trees, as most open source software is built upon hundreds of other projects. You cannot reasonably expect participation on that scale. You can encourage, desire, or structure an income stream to support it; but you cannot expect it as it's just not rational.
Not sure what part of the open source community you've been diving into, but the expectation of contribution to the project is not realistic nor logical as there's not "always" something a person can contribute and you'd absolutely run afoul of "too many chefs in the kitchen" (even Wikipedia acknowledges this and has structured editing in a way to help alleviate the issues). Though open source for me, and a lot of others, has always embodied passion, a desire to aid the community, and a drive to prevent closed alternatives. None of that is based around "co-op" style expected contribution development. Hell, even Stallman famously addressed my "free as in beer" statement, saying that open source is more akin to "free as in speech" overall, but since this particular project is not monitizing and are GPL 2 licensed, they are absolutely free as in beer.
I understand this, but we need to be reasonable and avoid extremes. This software is extensively free (as in beer) and requires development support. As long as the prompt doesn't cross any lines into exploitive territory I think it's fine. It would be nice for them to have explored other fundraising avenues first though and have saved this as an exhaustive "final" option.
👌 not sure why you're subscribing me to certain things or trying to argue. I like public transport, I'm just being realistic. One worker bee doesn't control the hive.
I did not compare it to India. I was using reliable power (which far and significantly more Americans care about than reliable public transport) as an analog for an example of our priorities. Since we clearly care about reliable power and cannot get it right, the likelihood in my mind that we'll fix public transport in our lifetimes is next to zero without serious cultural and governmental change. Also, India is not comparable to America without looking at a brevity of complex factors like population size, density, and wealth. It'd be wise not to genuinely compare the two on any singular issue as you'll set yourself up for multiple substantive arguments regardless your position. IE: if you're looking through a 2 billion person sized lens, you'll be able to find examples to support most viewpoints. Additionally your anecdotal evidence for the US being a bastion of reliability disregards the impoverished areas of the US that do not meet your preconceived notions.
We don't even have reliable power in large parts of the US. Not sure we'll be getting eletricified train infrastructure anytime in our lifetimes.
All the stats I presented were pulled from emotion. Actual death stats are around 1.2 million people in the US, 1/300th the population, or .33% (during the 2 year pandemic. Deaths to Covid 19 becoming endemic will grow). Stats were higher %-wise in less developed countries. These stats are easily available to you online, additionally I personally feel the value of any loss of life should never be attributable to a rounding error unless all other reasonable options are completely and intolerably exhausted.
To be fair, we didn't try "nothing" it's just that 60-70% of people didn't give a shit and of the 30% that did another 5% died. This only matters because in the realm of humans vs disease you either need near 100% of the people giving a shit, or some fancy foolproof science magic.
Cloudflare is amazing , until it's not. Chances are you'll fall within the 95% that have a great time, but if for some reason you draw the ire of sales, engineering, or a system bug you're gonna have a bad time.
And being a gay male, I can say that in my varied experience the lack of the threat of pregnancy causes men to be less protective of their health when participating in sexual interactions. It's really unfortunate how many men you meet that are totally against condoms and basic sexual protections.
Something something Hollywood accounting.

Either you find a way to separate sex from your version of intimacy and romance (difficult) or you accept that you're both looking for different things and call it off. You both deserve happiness and sound like you've both been dealing with suffering through incompatibilities for little reason.
Official support implies that they will do whatever necessary to take the device from an unworkable state to a workable one.
Haha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.
