If I buy the 82 dollar turkey today and sell it when the turkey market hits 100 do I have to declare turkey capital gains



Phone wouldn’t work for me, I’ve got a strict no phone around the TV rule for myself because I’m way too tempted to just use it instead of enjoying the thing I’m watching. Also wouldn’t really want to put an Xbox controller onto my wife or step mother.

I wish there was some kind of application you could run that would abstract all the mouse and keyboard interactions into a remote control friendly interface.


Anyway to do this without a keyboard. I used to have a PC connected to my TV for this but eventually just bought an apple tv for simplicity.


There’s a link in their Read Me on GitHub under the title about launching with Docker. Are you familiar with Docker?




But let’s be real though. Getting a car and driving it a crowd on purpose is an extraordinarily small percentage of car users. You can’t say the same about emulation. A torrent site I frequent has 28000 downloads of Smash Bros Ultimate. I don’t believe for a second there are 28000 broken copies people are trying to replace.

Don’t get me wrong, I love emulation. It has huge benefits! Access to out of print games, higher framerates and resolutions. But I’m not going to pretend piracy isn’t a massive component of it, particularly on current gen systems.

Just to add some details to that link, it’s a network streaming app that lets you remote into another machine and depending on your network configuration it’s often fast and responsive enough to play games (I played through Celeste which is a very twitchy precision platformer with no issues). It’s also just cool streaming something like Cyberpunk on ultra settings to your phone. There are moonlight clients for nearly any device.

To host moonlight you used to be able to just do it natively through Nvidia gamestream but they turned that feature off. You can use Sunshine now to host https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine


How well does the raspberry pi handle being a moonlight client
I'm thinking about moving my PC out to the living room and streaming back to my office when I need to. I've used a number of moonlight clients with mixed results. Apple TV and Xbox Series X, terrible with massive lag. Android with Nvidia shield pro or Chromecast with Google TV, not bad but not amazing, MacOS client on MacBook pro and Google pixel 6 pro over wifi 6, perfect feels like it's on the same machine. Before I go through all the effort of setting up the Raspberry Pi 4 just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience on the quality of the stream

Yea, looks like infuse does a good job at just playing the movie both in folder format or ISO which is cool. Instantly recognized the movie. No menus unfortunately :/

Think I might just be barking up a nonexistent tree



Can you explain a bit about Kodi playing the discs? I’ve been toying around with this all morning but can’t figure out how to launch the ripped disc. I’ve setup my network files and browsed to the folder with the ripped disc but there’s no way I can see to actually open the folder as a disc that I can see and googling this has failed me.



Yea I tried this, I think the app versions of VLC only open single files, they didn’t port the open disc feature.


Space isn’t really an issue for me and I already have converted versions of these movies. For a select few all time favorites and discs where the full experience is part of the package (like the Criterion) I want to maintain the full bluray experience with all the special features and menus.


Is there an easy way to stream full bluray disc rips with menus and features over the network to my TV
Most of my collection is just the movie rips of just the video that play fine in Plex or Jellyfin. I've got a couple of full disc rips though that have the menus and features and all just like you would if you put the disc in. I can open these in VLC on my computer by choosing the folder. My living room setup is an Apple TV as the primary streaming device but I also have an Nvidia Shield pro and Google TV Chromecast. Is there any way to stream these over the network into some kind of app on any of these devices? **EDIT** After some looking around Kodi *might* be able to do what I want. Going to investigate further. **EDIT 2** The Kodi repo with the required addon (HEVC kodi bluray addon) seems to be down, maybe permanently :/ Still looking for a solution

Help me out here, what is a slime tutorial and how does it relate to musicals


That’s how IMAP works for any mail client


I’ve done this in the past using Gmail. You pick a domain provider and get their email plan. Most offer both services. I’ve used name cheap.

Then in your regular Gmail account you can configure the IMAP settings from the domain registrar to receive the email from that inbox. Then in Gmail find the settings where you can send as another address. This lets you use that new address in our outbound mail. From there I just auto label the incoming mail to help sort the two addresses.

Now you should have your regular Gmail and your new novelty email all in one place.


Not enough time in the day, telling everyone you’re vegan is a full time job.


I don’t think you need to worry as much once you have the media. It’s the act of downloading and sharing where people get caught.


What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger



One suggestion I might make is Prowlarr instead of Jackett. I found it to be a lot easier to work with but YMMV.

Also I usually suggest adding Overseerr to the stack. It hides everything away behind a super easy to use app.


I mean, Apple movies, Steam and Spotify or whatever your storefront of choice is will 95% of the time have what you’re looking for. The only tricky medium to find stuff is TV.


Might depend on where you’re from. I’m from a small town and especially the older generations love their “Timmy’s” in a way I’ve not heard any other brand of coffee compete with.

It’ll be interesting to how they’re impacted in 20 years or so now that newer generations have grown up with more options



It works to be less than a penny per beer. If you were a heavy drinker and had 4 beers every day it’s like a dollar more each month. As far as tax hikes go I wouldn’t worry much about this one


I think it’s about audience. People who care about quality and bitrates and such usually have their couple of private trackers. People who just want to watch things regardless of quality just get whatever
