  • Jellyfin is the way. Costs nothing other than the hardware needed and nobody is selling anything about you.

    Our personal streaming library with Jellyfin is bigger than any public service and we can add to it from VHS, DVD, Blueray, though extra equipment was required for the VHS/Blueray.

    It’s also available anywhere we go and we can set up separate accounts for different family members. There’s even a phone app.






  • Brain organoids have been around for a while. You can even rent their processing power.

    They have issues, including a hard limit to their lifetime and growth potential. And the ethics involved shouldn’t be underestimated.

    They can and have been wired up to animals and when they do- they start vascularizing and growing and influencing the organism they are attached to.

    As an organoid, they probably lack the majority of things that would cause suffering- but we have used this “logic” to torture humans and animals in the past, so I am not fully convinced.

    I am also extremely interested in what these organoids can eventually lead to- but we need to not judge based on clickbait articles and use actual science and ethics to proceed.
