Yes. But if you literally can’t afford to go green you don’t have a choice, really.



Agree but just saying - maybe at least some of these people never even thought about getting the vaccine. Not an antivaxxer myself, but this one never crossed my mind.


This is why the NDP should be in charge. They’re already used to taking directions from Trudeau.

You make some good points but I don’t agree with them all. I wouldn’t even call a 30k vehicle “affordable”. Also due to the lifestyle some have, it’s not possible to get the smallest vehicle possible. Now you’re looking at 80k+ for one.


Well I used to agree with you until I bought a sound bar and learned what HDMI ARC was and my TV would not support it.


Which service? I paid for one but it’s annoying in that it zips up on 50 tracks at a time so it’s cumbersome. I had previously used a python script and wrote my own bash script around it and put in a cron job and it would sync my library every night to Plex. But the API went down and I’ve found no better replacement.


(awkwardly sits here wondering who Felicia is…)


Are they actually just TVs with a USB stick? I thought I read about another restaurant TV and they were super stripped down, and designed towards displays and not to use like a TV.


But tax cuts will allow them to hire more staff and it will all TRICKLE DOWN!

This is all true but I’ve seen my fair share of enterprise disks die after a few years of use.

In my case I’m using ZFS so a disk or two of varying types might not be the end of the world. In the 9 years I’ve had my NAS I’ve lost 3 WD RED 3B disks. Kind of surprise at my failure rate tbh



Torrent clients also have bandwidth limiters built in. So if a user has 5Mbps upload, change it to 1 or 2 on the setting and off you go.


Right, but part of the appeal of tools like crowd strike and sentinelone is that they can stop them when they’re in ring 0. And rollback changes. Etc.


I’m not claiming it was Microsoft’s fault. I blame crowd strike. But freebsd is not windows. A bad patch could have had a different result on a different system. They’re different.


I know it has nothing to do with macos. I agree it’s the QA piece. I heard upper managements theme was “two feet on the gas”. Also the CEO was the CTO of McAfee when they had a similar issue back in 2010 if I’m not mistaken. 🙃


I see. How effective is a security tool that can’t stop malicious software that makes itself in ring 0?


Yes. But what if the world was 1/3rd Linux, 1/3rd windows, 1/3rd OSX? Then potentially the overall failure would have been less, which I think the point of this piece was.






It’s fine, someone got their 10 dollar Uber eats voucher and then it was revoked. So nobody should be upset.

Or the classic situation where the loudest voice is heard. Nobody is gonna be screaming “WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES!!”







💯 this. Exactly how I roll. It’s a guilt trip and I’m willing to bet most people probably do add tips and it’s encouraging the wrong people to keep up this bullshit behavior. Tipping should be abolished anyways. I don’t want to hear sad servant stories about how you rely on tips. Your employer needs to pay you properly. It’s just subsidizing the pay by splitting it between the employer and consumer. It’s bullshit.



Yes. Let’s tell them how much we want our subscription costs to go up.



I’m not planning on voting conservative but they’ll ignore it, like me. I don’t understand what the hell I’m looking at.





Oh right, aren’t those all basically trash though? Like a few news channels and some talk shows?


I’m confused. Isn’t mythtv just TV tuner software or something? Which would still require a cable subscription? Plex and jellyfin do not operate on the same playing field. Jellyfin is also FOSS FWIW.

Looking for the best way to sync music from spotify
I used to have a script that would check a text file that I had hosted on nextcloud so I could paste in spotify URI's whenever I wanted, then nightly it would run a bash script that would leverage spotify-ripper (https://github.com/hbashton/spotify-ripper). It would see if tracks were already downloaded, and skip them, and download anything missing. It would take care of the album art and ID3 tags and everything, straight from the source. I've seen a few suggestions, like lidarr-extended, but that does not allow you to plug in spotify credentials, for example. There's zotify, and ZotifyFrontend, but looks like it's not really able to "sync". I also found DownOnSpot but that seems like Zotify but different. Are there any good solutions anyone is using currently?
