Right - the cost is your time instead of dollars.
I don’t like doing stuff, so I give my time an hourly rate of $100. Absolute BEST case scenario (for me) would be that this is a weekend project, so call it 10 hours.
So my best case break-even point would be 10K stars. Which seems like it’d be more than I’d need?
And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!
So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.
Not even remotely! I didn’t look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.
Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you’d only have femtoseconds!
A real double whammy of unintuitive results.
I dipped my toes in the self-hosted route and would recommend Stremio + Torrentio + RealDebrid as a much simpler alternative.
Here’s a guide I used - you can probably have it up and running in less than an hour.
Major points:
I have very limited self hosting experience, and between getting my first hello world service running, problems with my ISP, sorting through the different ways to get content, and not already having TBs if hard drives sitting around, I found it to be pretty challenging.
If you’re already experienced in self hosting (or want to learn) and don’t mind the storage costs, then I’d recommend the Plex/Jellyfin route, but if you just want an alternative to the existing streaming services then I’d suggest looking into Stremio.
Yeah, it’s definitely the fault of the poor folks.

Huh. Apples are always in season.
You think the money going to private prison owners is gonna be spent on prisons???
My sweet summer child. That would be a colossal waste! You see, if instead we overcrowd and starve people, then our profits will increase. And profits MUST increase.
