  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • After 22 hours and 291 comments, I can see that 80% is sunk cost, 15% never bothered to look at their Jellyfin client's settings, and the rest use a device that doesn't have a client for Jellyfin yet.

  • Top tier copium. FIFA games also release to raving reviews every couple of years. It's just FOMO.

  • When setup with tunnels, cloudflare doesn't see any media traffic. Cloudflare only needs to serve the auth and handshakes. The actual traffic is IP to IP, TLS encrypted if you setup a domain correctly. Or just use something like tailscale that sets up the certificates and domains for you.

  • You have a VPS that relays the pangolin tunnel and a reverse proxy serving the tunnel through a cloudfare + fail2ban protected domain. It should be really cheap since the vps only really runs for the initial auth and connection, and once in a while to update the tunnel IPs. You just give people a domain and a credential for the client.

    It sounds complicated but isn't really. I did it once but then returned to plain tailscale since I don't really share my server with many people.

  • That's a per client behavior. Wholphin for Android, for example, does it the Plex way.

  • My chances of sharing a Plex library with grandma are also zero. I would still have to set it up for her. That's a non argument.

  • May 18 brings One UI 8.5 update for several Galaxy smartphones

    Jump

  • I didn't contradict that notion. Apple devices are supported for longer than Android. But, again, it is an attempt to hook new people into a subscription-adjacent model. The pressure and nagging to change to a new phone every two years is still there, and they also kill software support to devices that are still functional.

  • Apple is in the same business model. They also kill their phones via software. They just captured the used market through various means so they get money off you more consistently. People think that trade in with credit options for a new phone every two years is such a great idea. Do the math, it's actually a subscription model, you don't own your iPhone, yet you'll always pay more than what the hardware is worth.

  • Fictional "Journal of Astrological Big Data Ecology" has infected Google's search AI

  • Magnitude matters in a system designed to reward rich people. You can't afford rent, so you will have to settle for sleeping in your car. Altman can't afford a $100MM house, so he will have to settle for sleeping in a $20MM house.

    Poverty in the end is about lack of access to better conditions of living. Some people are running away from war zones with nothing but the clothes they have on. They are broke, but they're not "can't live in the metropolitan area of NY and has to settle for the suburbs" kind of broke.

  • 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars

  • The US has lived in a state where any measure to squash terrorism would never be enough, for a long time. All you have to know is an address and say to the police that you heard a group of Arab looking middle aged men speaking of blowing up a place and a small army would be raised ready raze that domicile to the ground if necessary.

    That's what happens when a group of people is armed beyond reason and in constant paranoia.

  • Drug counselor who delivered ketamine dose that killed Matthew Perry gets two years

    Jump

  • Careful there, you are getting dangerously close to pre-crime justifications. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, drug distribution crimes are at the top on risk of re-offending (only bellow financial fraud and related economic crimes, mind you). Now, the other side of the coin is that most people who need mental health care the most, due to risk of violence or harm to self and others, are the ones less likely to willingly seek for it. Now, the US justice system sucks, and isn't more than a slave making machine. However, in this particular case, the only way to ensure the person is not a danger towards others is to pass them through that faulty system. Because it is the only mechanism the system has at hand. I agree that more activism is necessary for a judicial system reform for humane treatment of convicts, and better access to social protections and mental health care opportunities outside of the system. However, that is the ideal world, this is the real world. And right now, just removing their license does nothing. Statistics tells us that he will just switch to be a life coach and keep distributing drugs to addicts, just illegally. Legality has never stopped anyone from doing something.

  • I agree. However, it has no bearing into this particular case. Truth is that you don't know this person. You are not their forensic psychologist. You cannot claim in any certain way whether he will re-offend or not. All of that is for the system that is in place to decide. Hopefully with some level headed professionals making those decisions. Activism for more humane treatment of convicts and stronger mental health care to reduce the slave state of the judicial system is praiseworthy, I'm with you on that. But that change is gradual and involves a ton of changes on society and culture. But “don't jail anyone ever”, while it might sound nice and noble, without its social care counterpart, is folly. You will have to jail people from time to time, even if it is to make sure they get mental health care. The number one risk factor with violence prone patients is that they don't take treatment willingly and tend to fail to show up to care, even if it is available.

  • That's a noble thought. However, do realize that even most, means that some people will not feel bad about killing people. The problem is that now you have to predict with certainty whether any one given person will repeat the offense in the future. A thing that all humans are pretty shit at.

    Let's say, in an hypothetical case, we let a murderer free. There's no equivocal culpability, we know they did it. But, since you're advocating for no prison. Then, if he reoffends, you go to jail instead. Would you feel as sure about advocating for a murderer?

    It's easy to presume rehabilitation if you're not the one who will suffer the consequences. Also, spoken as someone who has never had the opportunity of interacting with an antisocial personality type.

  • It was not a misstep. He gave ketamine to Perry in the first place in order to get him hooked on it while counseling about his addiction with other drugs. He is not a poor repentant fellow who made a honest mistake. He is a corrupt health staff member that, without the proper behavior correctional support, would probably do it again if given the chance.

  • Oh, in this case it will. It will stop a corrupt guy who makes money out of distributing drugs of dubious origin under the guise of safe recreational use for recovery purposes, from further putting others at risk. For a drug counselor it should be obvious that you should not distribute drugs to addicts under (almost) no circumstance.

  • Trump’s Border Patrol Boss Quits ‘Effectively Immediately’ Amid Sex Tourism Scandal

    Jump

  • That's not the issue, though. The age of consent is a scape goat to distract from the actual source of the sex tourism problem. Colombia's laws for example are on par with the Canadian example quoted above. Yes the age of consent is technically 14, but there's a ton of nuance, like access to sexual rights (which was a big issue, like contraceptives and medical care). As well as strict rules regarding no more than 5 years of age gap.

    The real problem is that both Thailand and Colombia have armed criminal groups controlling large swaths of territory where they engage in drug and human trafficking. With both, forced and sex labor intentions. Effective modern day slavery, due to a complex web of factors that make establishing the rule of law very hard. They're far from the only ones, tons of countries all over the world suffer from this issue regardless of age of consent.
