Had to look it up. They mean Home Theater PC.

Side note. Don’t use hardware acceleration with TDARR. You will get much better encodes with software encoding, which is great for archival and saving storage.

Use hardware acceleration with Jellyfin for transcoding code on the fly for a client that needs it.

If you know what your client specs are, you can use TDARR to reencode everything to what they need and then you won’t have to transcode anything with Jellyfin.

And the fax machine was invented in 1843. So do with that what you want.

I went through there last summer. It was a total tourist trap.

Which is on an indian reservation, and requires an entrance fee to go look at it.

You have a point that it will be hard to explain this to everyone on why it is better.

From my understanding, when you use a password manager, the user will enter a pw into it that they remember and the vault will unlock. Then when they go to log into a website, a different, longer, and impossible to remember password will be sent to the site at login. (Assuming they are using the manager well). A week later when they go to log in again, the same long password will be delivered.

The problem is that if a bad actor gets involved, whether it is the website is attacked or they send the user a phishing url or something and the password from the manager is exposed, it will have to be changed. That scammer can now log into that website as the user whenever they want, and possibly any other website that user used the same password for. Hopefully they didn’t if they are using a manager.

With passkeys, a user will log into their manager with a password they remember, but when they go to log into a website, a different token will be sent, based on their key, every time. So if a scammer is listening at the router they still can’t log in again because it has expired.

It is still not a perfect thing, I would imagine that phishing sites could still get a scammer in, who could possibly do bad things or change the login credentials but it is still much more secure than sending a password to the site for the user.

That is why good sushi fish is flash frozen and then thawed before serving. It will kill all the parasites in the meat.

I’ve had it in the states. With good fish it can be good, but I’d take halibut over salmon fried any day.

Reading this makes me want to find a Linux distribution that does not use the gnu stuff at all.

Wax is made of hydrocarbons, which is as organic as it gets.

Except the length of a second is different on the moon because of relativity. So even utc is wrong.

Now we have murderers who just spent the last 1000 years reading philosophy books.

What do people think about Rocky Linux for servers?

I’m mad that they did their broken implementation of sending control codes between devices that never works. I have to disable it on everything so that the correct input gets set.

And then they are killing the universal remote industry so there is nothing to replace it with.

My favorite thing is when banks don't allow passwords that have spaces in them or are more than 12 characters long.

Honestly there should be a standard of what security means, like how passwords are stored and how TOTP is implemented, and if a bank doesn't implement it then THEY are responsible for any "identity theft" that happens on their site, not the users.

I think there is a distinction of PUSH advertising where you see billboards everywhere, ads stuck into youtube videos, spam emails, whatever that is just sent out to the general public and see what sticks. Compare that with PULL advertising where a consumer goes out and looks for something. When I am shopping for a new TV or something that needs a bit of research, I have no problem being sold to.

It's kinda like going out of your way to watch movie trailers. Or watching a lets's play of a video game you are interested in. It can be a fun way to spend some time and they can be entertaining in their own right.

I think my oven/stove can be connected. I have never tried because I don’t see the need to preheat my oven when I am not home.

I don't know, I feel like advertisements CAN be entertaining content, much like how people for decades have only wanted to watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. The problem, and the reason I have ad blockers all over the place, is that they don't design the commercials to be entertaining. They want to drill it in to you with endless repetition, or banner ads every 2 paragraphs on a news article.

It is these problems that cause me to want to block ads, not ads in general.

This is why every calculator should be a RPN calculator.

I remember really enjoying the Aladdin series, but that one might have been more mainstream.
