100%. I believe everyone here in Minneapolis understands that. I read comments (some are bots/trolls) saying the only way to stop this is to start shooting back, but we know deep down that 95% of the resulting casualties would be innocent bystanders. We've been able to mitigate harm to our most vulnerable neighbors by NOT escalating the violence.

Thank you buddy.

Actually, based on how some Minneapolis detainees described the holding cells, I would believe $47/day.

Every second of coverage that Jacob Frey gets is a centrist distraction from a sincere conversation about what's happening in Minneapolis. He is uninterested in doing anything that helps anyone vulnerable in this city. He bumbled his way through the uprising in 2020 (on the side of "restoring order"), he constantly had homeless communities bulldozed, and now again he's distracting people with stern-sounding rhetoric while doing nothing to support the community.

The precinct map for the 2025 mayoral election (which Frey won) overlays neatly with the city map of ICE activity this month. That is, the parts of the city that supported Frey are being less affected by ICE raids and kidnappings. He doesn't care about protecting immigrants and BIPOC community members because they're not "his people."

The more granular the analysis, the more I feel completely insane. I watched the video from 4 angles at regular speed and I saw nothing ambiguous. She turned to drive away and he shot her dead. There's no other side of the story.

Thanks for investigating and sharing more info!

I hadn't heard that they only collect the bonus after 5 years. Do you have a source?

It's an AI video. Sorry everyone.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm talking about the clip of the two agents falling together. Look at the space in the background that seems to be across the street. It doesn't make any sense. There's some Picasso concrete work with a seam that extends into the snowbank on the right? It's AI.

You go ahead and do that, but make sure there are no innocent people nearby when you do. They haven't been trained on the rules of engagement, nor do they care about them. When they're fired upon, they won't just fire back at the individuals who shot them. They'll consider everyone a threat and start spraying the crowd. If you shoot one of them, you're creating exponentially more danger for everyone around you.

Look at the videos from their attack on Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. A kid threw snow at one of the agents - not even a snowball, just a handful of snow - and the agent turned around and bear maced everyone he could see.

If you don't listen already, I recommend the Team Deakins podcast. Roger Deakins and his wife/creative partner talk about movies with actors and industry professionals. Sometimes it's a philosophical discussion about storytelling, and other times it's a highly technical talk about color grading. Steve Yedlin has some excellent eps about 4K and TV settings (see ep. 145 about "deliverables")

You thought it was mediocre? Man, that's one of my favorite movies.

 

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.
