I, too, normally eat my eggs with the shell still attached.

And you realize that egg shells are porous? Unwashed eggs are sealed, and that's one of the reasons why Europe can sell eggs without even refrigeration.

Bank developer played too much RuneScape?

You're missing the bigger picture: if an employee dies, Elon's unemployment insurance fees won't go up!!

Teslas tend to get very toasty when crashing? I'm not sure I'd want to be in a tunnel with a lot of them. Imagine if it'll become like the Salang Tunnel after a while?

Unless you have somehow managed to get the source code, no, Plex is not free software unfortunately!

Plex Inc has a central auth server, and your media server automatically creates a dynamic hostname for connecting to your server's IP. And if the user can't reach the server directly for some reason (NAT for example), Plex has a "relay server" that works as a proxy, but your quality gets reduced to like 320p or something.

So if Plex Inc shut down their auth servers suddenly (or have downtime, which happened a couple years ago), you won't be able to do much. It's possible to bypass the central auth, but no one does it, because such auto-discovery is one of Plex's benefits -- user logs in on their app, and it shows all their possible servers. But otherwise, it's self-hosted.

You can disable most of that stuff on Plex. But yeah, Jellyfin is nicer anyways as it's free software.

But how much radiation will it cause? A banana gives you like 0.1 μSv when eaten, but can it be more/less when it's up there?

Not so awful, but it's disappointing when you open the drawer expecting a Bible, but there's only OneNote there.

But "/root" has kinda always been the root user's home directory, not the root directory /.

Why's your $HOME "/"?

Think like this: for our sooo beloved politicians and legal systems, everything in life is seen as a transaction. Due to the fact that I've paid my "private copying tax" or whatever you want to call it, I therefore have the right to make private copies and share them with limited groups of people. If they want to restrict those rights that I have paid for, they would "need" to remove the tax -- but they will never do that because it's tons of free money.

But if they did get rid of the tax, there's no longer that "transaction", and therefore there's nothing hindering them from criminalizing private copying. Sweden is already USA's lapdog in all other regards, so you can bet it'd be repealed quickly.

I don't support copyright laws either, nor follow them, but I can appreciate how it's currently set up here, simply because it would otherwise become much much worse. At least here, normal people can do what they want without worrying about getting a legally binding order to pay 700€+ in damages like the Germans get.

No, it's ackshully a private copying levy. I get what you mean, but it's a "good" thing, because otherwise 12 § upphovsrättslagen probably wouldn't exist anymore:

Var och en får för privat bruk framställa ett eller några få exemplar av offentliggjorda verk. Såvitt gäller litterära verk i skriftlig form får exemplarframställningen dock endast avse begränsade delar av verk eller sådana verk av begränsat omfång. Exemplaren får inte användas för andra ändamål än privat bruk.

Private copying levy. In Sweden, it's called privatkopieringsersättning.

Are you saying that I might stop hating coriander when I retire? But I really like broccoli, so maybe it's a different kind of soap gene...

I forgot what the N stands for in NTP, but the network engineer might know.

I have several WDs with almost 15 years of power on time, not a single failure. Whereas my work bought a bunch of Seagates and our cluster was basically halved after less than 2 years. I have no idea how Seagate can suck so much.

But when people take out their phones and the object gets focused/close enough to see, it morphs into an airplane or such. Like, these aliens have such good technology to be able to morph, but they only do it whenever someone is able to document the sighting?! Crazy stuff!!!! 😱

I think my girlfriend would be weirded out if I asked her to take domperidone...

Do you have any recommendations? Most things I've seen are tailored to "you're physically here for a couple weeks" or expensive global plans.
