Few points:

1. Depending what’s being fermented the quantity of methanol can be quite low. Most “sugar wash” type home distillations are quite low in methanol. Certain fruits can yield higher but this isn’t the cheap “moonshine” you’d find and even then it’s unlikely to poison someone in the volume present.

2. The distillation process doesn’t add methanol, nor ethanol, just concentrates it by boiling it off and leaving behind the higher boiling water etc. Drinking any fermented natural alcohol still results in the consumption of some methanol. In fact if you look up your local regulations, every country has an acceptable amount of methanol they allow in commercial products. Drinking a distilled product concentrates what is already present, so binge drinking it can result in more consumption of methanol as a by product, but doesn’t magically make some shots deadly.

3. Most home distillers err* on the side of caution and throw away their foreshots and heads “just in case” and also often take the end of a distillation run (tails) and keep those out of their hooch as well.

It’s not exactly “easy to fuck up” to the point you poison someone with methanol, though to be fair to you this is a pretty wide spread myth.

It’s no tits? That sounds terrible

“I WAS IN THE POOL!!!”

“Wrong,” or a matter of preference and willingness to sink time into the project. Your setup sounds great, but it’s also easy enough for me to do a simple apk install for Jellyfin and host it on the pi that already has my network shares vs spending the time setting up a database and a local DHCP server etc. etc. Netboot is great but with a fraction of the setup with Jellyfin my needs were met, which was my original point. Also how many end users will take this route? Realistically not many.

Don’t get me wrong this was something i’d totally be into a decade ago so I get where you’re coming from, love the idea of having the metadata and everything scraped centralized, but what I have works and it’s easyyyyyyyy 🤷‍♂️

You’re not wrong but there are still drawbacks to Kodi where Jellyfin ends up being better. In my use case, with 5 tvs in the house, 2 are hooked up to Nvidia shield tvs but the other 3 are Chromecast w/ Google TV which have very limited storage unless I want to spend a fortune in hubs for each one to add a USB drive or micro SD.

With kodi installed I would regularly hit the storage limit of the device and have all kinds of weird bugs. Just as an example I had my daughter set up with a kids only account, but account switching would cause Kodi to become unresponsive for anywhere from 30 seconds to having to do a hard reset of the device. Jellyfin gives me the same access to my library with a lighter, more streamlined, persistent interface across devices and with easy and fast profiles. It still allows me to keep a pi as the host so the whole setup is low power (important for me as we’re on solar, every watt helps!)

I don’t really need the Kodi plugins I used to have if the main purpose of streaming my local content isn’t smooth and simple for the family. This is coming from a long time XBMC user, I’ve been running it since my original modded Xbox in the early 2000s.

The reality is that with inflating costs of necessities like food, house, and transport, more people will choose to opt out of streaming services when they jack the prices. Folks will either find alternate forms of content, or find ways of getting the content cheaper (Arrr!!)

We now just wait to see if the increased price is enough to make up for the subscribers they’ll lose.

We were one of the places nailed with Fiona last year, not looking forward to another potentially active hurricane season, many still haven’t fully recovered from last year.

In all seriousness, do you not know The Band? Dude is quite famous…

Depends where you live, Technology Connections did a few episodes on kettles because apparently they’re not super common in his neck of the woods.

Anything electric would be dramatically improved. Electric car range, consumer devices like computers and phones would have a huge jump in efficiency, etc. You name it basically.

Sync was my go to reddit client, I’m beyond excited this is out already for Lemmy!!

I wonder what impact this will have on hurricane season of those water temps continue…

Education assistant, but yea same thought applies.

I guess I’m in the minority but I’ll probably stick with doing another Necro build but maybe a blood build.

Just you, you’re seeing the ceiling reflection

Dbrand is awesome for skins! Verticals are a miyoo mini, anbernic rg35xx, and anbernic rg351v.

Here’s mine minus my switch

There are a few ways but here’s my preferred method

1. Desktop mode
2. Install Lutris
3. Search for battle.net in Lutris and install
4. Launch battle.net
5. Install Diablo 4 through battle.net

There are a few guides around with more detail but it’s very straight forward. Also a few guides out there on how to maximize battery life. I get 2.5hrs or so, closer to 3 if I avoid towns.
