  • Telling yourself these things often leads to taking action to verify the belief.

    Some real Aunt Wu energy.

  • There's been an awful lot of "this isn't what I voted for" since the inauguration.

  • He died.

    His surviving brother still seems pretty Libertarian.

  • Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That's at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

  • I mistook your original comment about the alarm clock. I wasn't reading it as the clocks in all timezones being set to UTC and rather that you wanted to keep your daily routine aligned with the daily solar cycle of the time zone you left.

  • However, they are the most voting engaged

    2022 primaries had over 17M registered voters and only about 1.1M Democratic primary cast.

  • Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over

    Right, but I wouldn't want to keep my daily routine aligned to a different time zone than where I am.

    So if you're travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven't fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not

    Exactly. So why would I want to adjust my alarm to 3am after travelling 3 time zones? I only care about relating the time between two zones for real-time communication with people in the other zone. And I'm not getting up at 3am for them.

  • Why would you want to get up every day at 6 am from three time zones over?

  • Don't do Zuzu dirty like that. Jamie did not redeem himself in the end.

  • only kick in the last half of the series.

    That's what I meant by "as the series goes on."

  • Overall I do like Emby more than JellyFin. Emby is commercial, like Plex. I believe the client applications (ie everything but the web) needs a licensed server but they have a free trial period. There is a remote option

    https://emby.media/community/index.php?/blogs/entry/579-how-to-guide-emby-connect-remote-access-and-basic-port-forwarding/

    And they have a service they call Connect intended to simplify the remote access.

    Caveat, I've not really used the remote capabilities at all, I can't speak to how it compares to Plex's. I have streamed remotely through a VPN connection, rather than setting up public access. But only once or twice, and mostly to test the VPN rather than for the purpose of streaming.

  • We each have our own requirements and so I try not to judge

    Cheers, but you did say this

    Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it.

    So I spun it in my own different priorities under which Plex is not superior.

  • I look at it in the reverse. I want this platform to stream at home. If it's a pain to use at home without internt then it's lost the plot. I'd setup Plex with the trusted local network in the config file and all of that, but then I still have reconfigure my clients and then they all get admin access so all my parental controls are gone. Jellyfin and Emby get this right and Plex does not, so I dropped Plex. I ended up on Em by instead of Jelly because Direct Play/Stream just wasn't really working for me in Jelly (that may well have been due to my hosting on a Synology NAS).

  • FYI DS9 isn't really a "skip around" series. Plenty of long plot arcs as the series goes on.

  • 'Taco man's just doesn't sound like an insult.

  • It has to be one of those 'Limx as X approaches 0' Calculus things where X is the value of Discord Orbs.

  • Trump said it about COVID deaths during an interview in April 2020.

  • Don't think so. Just normal usage. I wasn't trying to assert that the 3a had some design issue or systemic manufacturing flaw. The port just eventually got kinda loose and any perturbance of the phone or cable would wiggle enough to lose connection.
