The FCC used to.

Llama signed the collective bargaining agreement that prohibits this. So they are indeed suing the correct entity for breach. It doesn’t matter if the IP owner gave permission.

That wouldn’t be an off grid building then.

@sartaj@lemmy.world important information above.

He also explains how to offload storage to another service for $5 a month if you want to add images back in.

Digital Ocean is used as an example because they have a quick setup Mastodon option. It looks like $14/mo minimum if you’re going to run Elastisearch. Without that tool in memory you might get away with 1GB of memory which is $7/mo. But the author also notes that with Elastisearch his VPS uses about 2GB of ram so he’s actually running the 4GB $21/mo plan.

In all seriousness, we can’t really give a cost estimate because you haven’t given us your hosting scenario. Are you hosting on your own hardware, on a VPS, or using a provider that specializes in hosting Mastodon servers?

Storage costs should be pretty low for an instance very few would want to use.

Sorry to be pedantic, but it’s a Lenovo phone and when you call it Motorola you’re playing into their marketing tricks. When Lenovo bought the Motorola Mobility brand from Google it was just the brand.

If you hire a nanny do you pay VAT?

I agree, we should replace property taxes with very large income and wealth taxes. First we can end property taxes and then we can implement guaranteed income so people who become disabled can afford to maintain their homes.

They were trying to cheat their taxes and failed. Fuck em.

Sales taxes are regressive. People who spend more money on services and less on goods are typically wealthier. Sales taxes hit the poor the hardest. Whereas the property tax on a multi unit building is typically a better rate for each family than a single family home.

If you read the article these people tried to abuse a loophole that had kept their propery taxes capped for years and they failed miserably. They tried to keep just enough of the home to avoid the value of the home being reassessed for taxes. But they added an entire second story and that triggered the reassessment. Essentially they thought they could cheat and build more home than they could afford to pay for.

Emby development is dead in the water. It works, it’s stable, but it’s treading water. And because it is partially closed source and not changing much the addon development community is not as robust. If you try it and it has what you want, it works just fine. But I want an active community making new features and developing add-ons and extending what I get out of it. I did not need premium to get a similar feature set out of Jellyfin, I am an experienced self hoster so I was able to switch without missing a beat. And now I can click a button to skip and intro, or the recap for the episode I just finished watching. And I can try the very large set of add-ons that are out there.

As someone with lifetime Emby premium, I switched to Jellyfin.

Publishers will at least retain the right to use AI audio books for themselves. And it’s much easier for an author to get a piece of something the publisher does than it is for them to get money for books Amazon recorded without their consent.

Yeah currently contracts require the author’s or publisher’s consent. If anyone is a writer make sure to triple check your contracts for this shit.

If this asshole runs for president we’re all fucked.
