  • I stick to few sources that generally cover major without the doom and gloom. Generally YouTube channels are pretty good imo.

    • TLDR News (UK, EU and Global) is a great series of channels for that.

    • Caspian report on YouTube for some geopolitics/strategic outlook.

    • Real life lore for couple of deep dives on non-current issues.

    • Money and Macro for macro economic news.

    • Just have a think for climate science and energy transition news.

    • “Good news” is just nice feelgood news.

    Traditional media for closely following elections when they come out such as exit polls.

    For the Gaza issue I did break the cycle and check on Al Jazeera which is the best for middle East news.



  • Jellyfin is not there yet but it definitely can be. It can be done pretty easily without any centralised server.

    1. Sending people magic links to their accounts on their phones that auto log them into Jellyfin.
    2. Make IP dictionary to have people type “cat mug door end” which pings the server with a login from an IP.
    3. Show QR code.
    4. Scan with an authorised app which pings the server to authorise the device on behalf of the user.

    It’s passwordless 4 word input + phone scan that can be optimised for TV pretty heavily since you only need make something 10^12 unique to account for all IPv4.

    It will take around 15-30 hours to code though for a person familiar with Jellyfin on android TV and server.

    For some reason they are more pro Russian suppression state, Chinese one-party censorship state and even apologise for DPRK. It’s pretty tall order to call any of those democratic. Then from my discussion with tankies they often advocate for an armed revolution which are very undemocratic in their nature and often lead to one-party states or a military junta government.

    Marxist-Leninism is a democratic ideology but the way tankies talk doesn’t sound very democratic to me.
