Not the ones that use these. Most tools are unpractical when you don't understand how to use them.

This account is only 6 days old and already you're starting in with the Xenophobic political rhetoric. That hardly seems like a coincidence. Who are you really and what got your previous account banned?

You're supposed to leave it in the jar when not in use.

Those reduced civil rights related to border patrol extend about 200 miles in from every U.S. border.

This needs to be copypasta'd as a reply to every comment suggesting that opening up jellyfin to the internet is easy and everyone should do it to get away from Plex.

I have induction; anything magnetic will heat, pans sized to your elements work best. Pans with too much aluminum and not enough iron (or other ferro magnetic material) won't work very well. Getting induction was a great excuse to dump the cheap pans I'd wanted to replace anyway. When shopping the discount racks like Home Goods, Marshalls, etc. I always grabbed some fridge magnets and tried them on the bottom of any prospective purchase; the stronger the pull, the better it will perform with induction. The only item I really missed was my moka pot (stovetop espresso, usually all aluminum casting), but I was able to find one with a stainless steel base that works great. Your pots and pans will also need a flat bottom to react to the induction elements, so woks and such built with a slope or curve to encourage flames to lick up the sides don't work so well compared to gas. Finding a Teflon coated pan that works with induction was difficult (I don't often use it anyway, but SO insisted we have one for their use). I'm looking into replacing the Teflon pans with nitrided carbon steel soon.

Cast Iron and induction are a match made in heaven though. The cast iron heats fast and evenly and the induction means you can be very precise about how much heat you apply and when. When you turn off the element, the only heat left in the whole system is what you've already put into the pan, which is a big deal in my tiny kitchen when I don't always have room to move a pan off to the side to rest or cool. The cast iron and stainless pans I have heat fast enough that I can basically cook starting from a cold pan for most things. Heating an empty pan takes seconds. I can bring a pot of a water of a couple quarts/liters to a roaring boil in about 4 minutes, then back down to a gentle simmer in seconds.

If gas is cooking with fire, induction feels like cooking with science. As may be clear from the rant, I love my induction range.

Self-hosting is inherently not low effort. This isn't memes or shitposts. This is people helping people that are trying to help themselves, a.k.a. people making an effort. Communities rely on the discretion of mods and rules specific to the community focus. If this community didn't have some kind of bar to meet for low effort posts it would drive away participants and contributors more interested in higher effort and more interesting topics. It gets real old seeing people ask and answer the same basic questions about Plex, Jellyfin, *arrs, and docker all the time. Worrying about if this rule will be abused seems premature. Besides (as others have pointed out) there are other communities with similar interests, if you're that concerned that your spammy no-context YouTube video got deleted, please go try your luck elsewhere.

Romp? That's an interesting take. Kind of like whistling past the graveyard because the moral of the story for the motties (the civilization we contact) is basically that unchecked growth creates a cycle of unsustainable growth and apocalyptic collapse, which should be a familiar theme to anyone living through a capitalist dystopia.

I really like Niven and Pournelle individuallt, but the things they've collaborated on like this are even better.

This is basically the plot of "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
