The only thing keeping me from using it as my only file explorer is the fact that it doesn't support SMB shares.

Atheist here. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Atheism is merely about trusting what's been proven, or has some evidence backing the claim that can be verified without doubt. Being agnostic is being indecisive about everything, even things that are completely made up.

You shouldn't be charged for unauthorized requests to your buckets. Currently if you know any person's bucket name, which is easily discoverable if you know what you're doing, that means you can maliciously rack up their bill just to hurt them financially by spamming it with anonymous requests.

I can only see this being effective if the Nginx instance isn't also responsible for reverse-proxying the frontend traffic, and if it's not running on the same server as the frontend or backend (ie. decoupled from the infrastructure serving the stack). Haven't looked at the article yet but I'm assuming they would recommend provisioning the infrastructure with that decoupling, or it wouldn't make much sense.

I know it's been around for a long time, but I just heard about Real Debrid. My current setup is Wasabi + Rclone + Jellyfin, plus all the *arr services. What's the benefit of Real Debrid over this setup, aside from cached torrents?

How do people like this even make it far enough to get this type of job?

I guess you can chalk it up to I "haven't been paying attention" then. I'm not a religious viewer of all of their channels, I just watch the odd video here and there (like, maybe one or two videos every few months), and since this whole fiasco blew up I got curious enough about it to catch up on what happened, and watched the apology video. With that being my context as a viewer and technology enthusiast, that's the lens I viewed this segment through. I just didn't see anything wrong with Luke's part.

Maybe if I was a more of a regular viewer I might have seen it a bit differently, But even if it was a double entendre, for the sake of argument, it seems to me as though it were pretty tame at worst in his case?

I don't know man, I just saw it as some IT guy on screen setting an SLA goal I see all the time and trying to do an "act cool" gesture. People can interpret it how they want, but that's how I saw it.

I appreciate the toned-down response, so thanks for that. As to whether or not it really was a sex joke, I can't say for sure one way or the other. It's anybody's guess. People should interpret it how they see fit. But I saw it differently and offered up my interpretation, backed with information that supported what led me to it, so that I wouldn't be thought of as a blind supporter.

I'm actually not even a supporter or regular viewer of them at all (I've watched the odd video here and there, just on occasion). Just someone who heard about all of this and got curious. I watched the apology video and that segment struck me as innocent for the reasons I stated. And it's totally fair if someone wants to interpret it differently. I just think it's unfair to conclude with 100% certainty that it must have been a sex joke and therefore everyone who watched it should be offended by it.

I don't know man. It's a valid SLA target which is often and widely used in the industry at large, it's almost like muscle memory to some people to just cite it when talking about HA. And even if they regularly make "69" jokes or whatever on their channels, I personally didn't read far enough into it in this segment of the video to get the impression that they might be making a sex joke. There was no lead-up to one or anything in the original context. All he said at the end of his segment was that their goal was "six nines" plus the "act cool" pose (how I personally interpreted it). And I just felt like "Okay, so they're aiming for the usual SLA you see most big companies aiming for". Like, that's all that went through my mind personally.

If anything, maybe it's inconclusive if it was meant as an actual sex joke. I said in my original post I could see how uninformed viewers might see it differently, so I'm trying to leave some leeway for understanding of how it might have made others feel.

I'm not saying 100% it couldn't be one, but I personally didn't feel like it was. Everyone is free to interpret it how they want, I just wanted to point out that he used a real term that isn't inherently sexual (and lots of people don't know about it), so it's a possibility he actually just meant to cite a real SLA to those in-the-know.

LOL That number of nines is specifically referenced by an industry dominated by tech bros though. It could just as easily be 5 9s or 7 9s but for some reason it has to be 6 9s?

Actually, the "nines" go all the way from "one nine" through "nine nines", exactly the way you wondered about when you said "It could just as easily be [...]". It's actually exactly that way, and the chart that shows this is found in my first post on the linked Wikipedia article. Refer to the "Percentage calculation" chart about "High availability": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability

"Six nines" is just another SLA calculation on the chart, but is one of the most commonly referenced in marketing material in the industy. That's why you see a lot more about it online than the other percentages, but you see reference to the others out there (ie. Amazon references "nine nines" in their S3 object storage marketing in terms of data durability). "Six nines" roughly corresponds to 30 seconds of downtime per year. Maybe it's used more often because that's an easy SLA to remember.

Anyway, the point is that it's not some tech bro-dominated industry inside sex joke. It's a real, valid SLA, and it's not the only one. Just the most commonly referenced.

I defended one specific segment which seemed unfairly taken out of context, with support for why I thought so, and remained as objective as I could about it. I never commented on anything else besides that one specific segment, and I never expressed any support for LMG as a whole (full disclosure, I think they've done some awful things they need to be held accountable for). But that makes me some kind of LMG apologist?

Okay. I don't see what else I can say about that accusation.
