Prime is adding ads to their streaming service

Jump

  • Guess I'll be putting Helluva Boss on my Plex server.

    Meh.

    My prime was already cancelled because they billed me in early January, when that extra $100 could be used on Christmas gifts, so it always snuck up on me.

    I didn't use it enough to justify it anyway.

    • What are your homelab stats?

    Jump

  • I'm able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I've got:

    One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a 'cluster' (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

    One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

    VMs:

    • Plex
    • 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
    • Windows arr box (I know it's blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
    • anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn't run that hard.

    Network:

    • Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
    • Unifi 24 port switch (it's gigabit and POE but doesn't output enough power for the...)
    • single Unifi AP.

    All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of "it was going into the trash anyway"

    • "If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

  • Anyone that says J6 was a "peaceful protest" that "got out of hand"

    We all saw the footage of that day. There were gallows and calls to hang a sitting vice president.

    It was an insurrection, fomented and encouraged by Donald Trump's speech and actions leading up to that day. Plain and simple.

    The right-wingers who say it wasn't as serious as it was are gaslighting their base.

    Edit: Victims of gaslighting in my replies

    • it's the steam winter sales, what game did you enjoy playing and want to share?

    Jump

  • The wife and I have really enjoyed playing Ravenswatch.

    It's an early-access rougelite that plays a bit like a Diablo/League (sans toxicity because it's co-op, not competitive)

    Farm efficiently and level your hero within the time limit and fight a boss at the end.

    It's a great time and 20% off on the sale

    Seriously fuck all of those people for bullying a legit wholesome dude off the Internet.

    • Conservatives move to keep abortion off the 2024 ballot

    Jump

  • They've already been trying to bring "raise the voting age" into discussions.

    • Where can I find audiobooks?

    Jump

  • Plex+Plexamp works great for audiobooks

    For some reason the regular Plex player would restart tracks on me after being out of the app for a long time. But Plexamp seems to have that one under control.

    Oh, also, while we're talking audiobooks, check out Graphic Audio versions of your various books. They do a great job

    • systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems

    Jump

  • The thought of someone's Linux install failing catastrophically, displaying a "MSoS", then the user switching back to the is MS OS because of it is funny to me.

    • Do you prefer digital or physical books?

  • Meh, I prefer Vivaldi because I use it on PC too.

    I like the extra customizability and features they offer vs the competition.

    • Facepalm

    Jump

  • The way I've been using is to use the Vivaldi browser's inbuilt adblocking. Comes with the added benefit of syncing to other devices and background audio playback so I can lock my phone and still have audio playing.

    The mobile version of the website is also functionally identical to the app, sans advertising.

    • The game that kills families

    Jump

  • Nah, gotta exploit the Housing Shortage rule and NEVER upgrade to hotels

    The game requires you to build houses before hotels, so if there are 32 (I believe) houses on the board, no one can go straight to hotels.

    Even better if you own all the houses.

    It's like a hidden Monopoly in Monopoly

    This isn't a good thing.
