DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE (text.npr.org)

Resist and Unsubscribe.

In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

They're among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.

If you wanted something to get started for streaming and you are space limited (in your home) I would recommend this as your server:

  • https://a.co/d/00MhaEgG the Beelink S13 which is under $300 and will serve your streaming needs for a very long time.

And for storage you could get this 4TB external drive and plug it into the Beelink and sit it right on top for $130:

And if you have an Nvidia shield I’m pretty sure you could also skip the S13 and just plug the drive into your shield and run Jellyfin or what have you directly on that. I know lots of people brag about their big overbuilt servers, but you don’t have to go down that road at all if all you want is to store and stream your media.

do you happen to know if shucking is an option and whether it is viable in larger capacity drives? 12, 16 TB or so. for upgrade, not starter server of course

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I don’t do shucking, it’s not really much of a thing these days tbh. Though I do know it was only ever worth it for larger drives.

This could work then. I already got an external 5tb HDD. I just want it to stream to my shield. Does the N150 really work better than a N100?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The N100 would work great, that’s what I have at home, the S12 pro with the n100, it’s just getting harder to find.

Just don’t get the N95

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

These don’t have the issue 13th gen has right?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I highly doubt it. Those issues were with overvoltage problems and the n100 is low power. The thing sips electricity even when under load
