  • It was made illegal in the EU years ago.

    The rule is pretty simple: you have to be able to cancel a subscription the same way you signed up for it. If you used the Internet to sign up there better be a fucking button that allows you to cancel.

  • Had she retired on time, she would have been remembered as a trailblazer instead of a stubborn, senile, roadblock. The general public would have felt sadness instead of relief.

  • Are you seriously suggesting running a Plex server on the Steam Deck in addition to the Plex media player? Because last I checked, the Plex media player can play (I think) but not index them. I'm a happy Plex user with lifetime Plex pass, but that's just stupid.

    Kodi is a solid standalone solution for exactly what OP is asking, with controller support. Kodi wouldn't be my first choice for networked media playback, but it's brilliant for exactly OP's use case. And it really isn't laggy unless you overload it with plugins.

  • OP is talking about local content! Attached to the dock. Plex App is not the right solution for that. Kodi is probably their best choice.

  • I believe one can't 1:1 compare the dosage, Pfizer's MRNA was supposed to be a little more stable and hence less of it was needed. But, yeah, Moderna's dosage is higher.

    I've gotten both over the years and Moderna always knocked me out harder, but never like OP. Symptoms have always been medium to strong fatigue and at most a mild headache.

    I haven't gotten the new booster yet.

  • Unraid 6.12 and higher has full support for ZFS pools. You can even use ZFS in the Unraid Array itself - allowing you to use many, but not all, of ZFS extended features. Self healing isn't one of those features, though, it would be incompatible with Unraid's parity approach to data integrity.

    I just changed my cache pool from BTRFS to ZFS with Raid 1 and encryption, it was a breeze.

    I generally recommend TrueNAS for projects where speed and security are more important than anything else and Unraid where (hard- and software-)flexibility, power efficiency, ease of use and a very extensive and healthy ecosystem are more pressing concerns.

  • Unraid is also awesome for places with high energy cost: Unlike with your typical RAID / standard NAS, it allows you to spin down all drives that aren't in active use at a relatively minor write speed performance penalty.

    That's pretty ideal for your typical Plex-server where most data is static.

    I built a 10HDD + 2SSD Unraid Server that idles at well below 30W and I could have even lowered that further had I been more selective about certain hardware. In a medium to high energy cost country, Unraid's license cost is compensated by energy savings within a year or two.

    Mixing & matching older drives means even more savings.

    Simple array extension, single or dual parity, powerful cache pool tools and easily the best plugin and docker app store make it just such a cool tool.

  • Just about every UEFI-compatible BIOS has a "boot override"-key (F8, F12 etc.) that brings up a Grub-like boot-selection screen.

  • Most of them? The fact that most niche communities failed to successfully migrate away from Reddit is the reason why Lemmy isn't really something I frequent as often as I would like these days.

    Heck, it would probably be a whole lot easier to list the three niche communities here that may be thriving.

  • My wife teaches at a university. The title is partly bullshit:

    For most teachers it couldn't be more obvious who used ChatGPT in an assignment and who didn't.

    The problem, in most instances, isn't the "figuring out" part, but the "reasonably proving" part.

    And that's the most frustrating part: you know an assignment was AI-written, there are no tools to prove it and the university gives its staff virtually no guidance or assistance on the subject matter, so you're almost powerless.

  • It works too well
