They're just pissy that it outperforms their proprietary pieces of shit, thus the psyop campaign.

Realistically, more people need to self-host, or at the very least we need more mon-and-pop style datacenters. The foundational protocols of the Internet inherently make the web decentralized, but most would rather offload hardware costs and, more importantly, security, to those more knowledgeable. Not that I blame them, as running one's own hardware is extremely time intensive, nevermind power and equipment costs, but it's no wonder that conglomerates have stepped up to fill that role (nevermind economies of scale). Yet, this is how we've fallen into the situation we are in now.

Mark my words, these types of things are about to become increasingly more common at a rapid rate.

Lol I somehow doubt they'd take kindly to a violation of airspace sovereignty like that, especially in that regard

And the ever important island of Austin, that's still somehow part of the US yet completely isolated within hostile territory.

Not with that attitude

Iirc Jellyfin isn't exactly intended to be operated outside of your home network like Plex is. There are workarounds of course, but the onus is on the user to secure it.

Or in the near presence of the FCC or similar agency

Journalism has been replaced with news reporting storytelling

Ftfy

The memes are the friends we made along the way :)

I'd fudge that info too if it meant not getting sent to the gulag

They all have ridiculously good healthcare, so, as is tradition, they won't be affected by their own choices.

Jeez, it's almost just straight not worth it to fly these days once you factor everything in. Luckily I haven't had the need in a few years, but damn.

It seems like it is a private company contracted by DHS to roll this out, and that is where I have an issue. Don't get me wrong, I don't think biometrics is the best route, but I absolutely do not trust a 3rd party random corp to have and securely store all of my sensitive biometrics, not do I trust them to not sell it for an additional revenue stream. Same reason why that company Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents "selling" you on the service at the airport.

Anything is a box set with some effort

They probably will just wonder why their towns are doing so poorly economically without connecting the dots. Canadians (and snowbirds in particular) are pretty sizable part of the US economy.

But only after the morning seagulls have turned it into their version of guano.

In theory that should be prorated then, depending on the contract dates. Anywhere I have ever lived we have bridges two places to live for a couple days while moving and cleaning, and I have never been on the hook for an entire month.

I think The Matrix had it right when they said 1999 was the peak of humanity, when platforms for these kind of shenanigans didn't exist yet lol. Yeah we had loons on BBSs and IRC, but this is certainly something special.

Professional electrician and AV tech here.

Personally, and this may be overkill, but an HDMI/video matrix would do wonders to cut down the number of cables you're working with. You'd be able to group your cables within that shelving unit, so that you can run a single HDMI to your TV. You analog consoles would need a digital converter between the console and the matrix, but since the TV itself has to do the conversation anyway and will already introduce input lag, you're up a creek there anyway. I'd cut a plug behind the TV, as well as low volt passthrough. If you're handy and can patch drywall/paint, I'd run smurf tube from that shelving unit through the wall to behind the TV. And as many others have said, velcro straps, not zipties.

If you don't want to go bananas with all that, then velcro strap everything as neatly as you can. You'd also be wise to separate power and data/video cables.
