I don’t know what to tell ya. This country sucks and always has. I’m just hoping this is things getting worse before they get a lot better.

My favorite hotel is the “C’mon inn” in Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, etc. It’s a small family-owned chain that charges about $100 per night and has rustic decor and always has a pool and a bunch of jacuzzis. Amazing service, tasty breakfast, low price, and I’m not feeding some gigantic corporation. It’s a matter of finding the smaller outfits, I tell ya.

I don’t think he has it in him, honestly.

It’s a good thing JD Vance is such a massive dork that not even Republicans like him

You can take my automatic climate control from my cold dead hands. Fuck this!

I mean, I am an engineer who does customer-facing work… it’s not been my experience that sales and marketing people are this bad. I suppose maybe I just work for an exceptionally chill company, but wow, that really sucks.

I’m sure you’re just venting, but be sure to monitor your attitude going into work because this kind of resentment, if held at all times, will drive you insane.

Wow, tell me how you really feel about sales people. Jeez.

Developers very seldom communicate in a way that pleases their company leadership. There’s a reason support, sales and marketing people have jobs. If companies didn’t need them, they would cut them to save cost.

However, the developer should be able to put down their changes and whomever is in charge of communications should be using the change log as a chance to communicate to end users the changes in a friendly way. Not this nonsense. LLM could do it but it, but it’s best to have it written by a person.

Or that the person writing the changelog is in marketing and knows that end users will be seeing this as communication directly from the company. Marketing people tend to foam at the mouth when they see a chance to “connect with their users”.

Yes, that’s the result of this. A better government would pay its citizens a few hundred bucks a day for jury duty.

Most middle class jobs tend to give paid leave for jury duty. If you can’t get that or can’t afford the lost income, you can usually get out of having to appear because of that.

Yeah you would have to study it. I am sure the tracker itself has much data on this, which is why private trackers structure their rules the way they do. In my personal experience, I try to stop seeding torrents that have more than 10 seeders already and a ratio above 1 on my client and more than 60 days seed time. That keeps me from hitting the limits of my torrent client / network / storage / etc.

It really depends on the tracker in use. I tend to stick to private trackers, so I feel relatively safe stopping seeding at a ratio of 2-3. For public trackers, your ratio would have to be pretty dang high because most people stop seeding on those.

That’s also a viable solution, but for me I just use Btrfs snapshots on my NAS. My files are stored on a different device and the Jellyfin container only sees them as a mounted dir, not even aware that it’s an SMB mount.

I think the point here is that Jellyfin doesn’t have a centralized login or website like Plex does. An attacker would have to know about your server and log into it directly to get access. If you run it in a container, there isn’t a lot they can do other than trashing your media library, which you should have protected with filesystem snapshots anyway.

Downvote, move on

Been using Arch + KDE Plasma since 2021 with very few issues. Now I have a job as a support engineer for a Linux software company.

I been doin it for years already!! It’s easy to just set up a 4-bay NAS with docker containers running apps that replace your existing cloud services

The removable batteries coming back would also impact the iPhone, which actually respects user privacy because Apple is not a marketing company. Apple is a products and services company, they sell tech devices and make a lot of money on services like Apple Music and TV+ and such. It’s expensive for a reason; you can even take the encryption keys out of Apple’s hands for iCloud so you genuinely are fully protected

Stallman, is that you??
