New Dad Can't Wait to Show Newborn Child Hard Drives Full of Pirated Movies Once He's Old Enough

  • Ah, wonderful, a Jellyfin equivalent to Overseerr!

  • Same. My two older kids (teenagers) will come to me with literal lists of albums and TV shows 😂

    • ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services

    Jump

  • Hell yeah. I don't normally simp for companies, but I will happily support locally owned alternatives to big, faceless corporations, even if it costs a bit more. Usually.

  • I pay $89/mo total for symmetrical gigabit via UTOPIA, no monthly cap, and my static IP. I was paying Comcast a hair over $60/mo before this for 400/20 via cable w/1.2TB cap.

    Absolutely worth it.

  • My ISP is a local deal, well-known for protecting privacy, and run by an absolute nerd (in the best way possible, also outspoken about privacy, FOSS, and other such things). Their customer service is second-to-none; I had an issue with my static IP a couple years back, and had an actual engineer on the line within a few hours. On a weekend.

    It's XMission. I dropped Comcast for them once they were in my area. Comcast can climb up a cactus.

    • Plex now want to SELL your personal data

  • spoon fed software

    That's a new one. I like it.

    • Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps

    Jump

  • Linux has been doing this for decades via APT and other software managers. Not locked down, either.

    • Self Hosted Trello with experience?

    Jump

  • I use Planka pretty regularly to track some of my projects. They just pushed out a release candidate for v2 a few weeks ago, which brought some nice features.

    • Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host

  • Uploaded your mind to the cloud

    • Does Murderbot (Apple TV) have some new kind of DRM?

    Jump

  • That's part of why I only download released episodes and movies. Cam rips suck ass, and there's too much risk of downloading garbage that isn't the real file.

    • Bought a Bluray Disc. Sony still tracks you.

    Jump

  • Yeah I just straight up pirate movies now, I don't even try to hide it from people anynore. It's clear to me at this point that all these companies care about is getting richer by the minute off the backs of the common man, and their excuses for doing so are getting more and more pathetic.

    • In 2025, Apple still makes it hard to play your own MP3s, so I wrote my own app

    Jump

  • Haha, I have the official Apple FM receiver attachment, and the Belkin wireless remote. Never tested them on Rockbox...

    • The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?

    Jump

  • Only one of my cars has just one of those things (2015 Toyota Highlander and it's the blind spot monitor). That aside, all of my vehicles - cars and motorcycles - are paid off. I'm not going into debt just to have nannies yelling at me.

    My vehicles are a means to an end. I would absolutely love more public transit, but there is just a single train station about 12 miles from my house, while my work is only 6 miles in the same direction. "You could bike" you might say, which is a fantastic idea. However, 90% of my commute is on a 55mph rural highway with minimal shoulders and zero bike lanes. It's literally a perfect candidate for a bus route, yet there are none, and I am not risking my life on a bicycle next to 55MPH traffic during commuting hours.

    Now tell me how I'm the problem.

    • The Copilot Delusion

    Jump

  • Hi, we still exist. I still build old shit to do things it's not supposed to do. We're not going away.

    • Google says Android 16's new desktop mode builds on 'the foundation of Samsung DeX'

    Jump

  • It's currently hidden behind some developer settings. On Android 15. It probably won't be ready by the time 16 is released, but it'll probably drop in an update.

    • Over Synology, and looking to build my first home lab. Could use some advice on parts...

    Jump

  • planning on running a number of docker containers and a couple of vms.

    Just FYI, you can probably do ALL of that on a $200 Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF.

    Source: my $200 Dell Optiplex 7050 SFF running 3 VMs, 3 LXC containers, and 16 docker containers - not including the multiple containers within the Nextcloud AIO "mastercontainer". There is plenty of overhead to spare.

  • The thing they had going for them is it's idiot proof to the point where it pissed off anyone who knew what they were doing.

    I'm solidly in that group lol. I had a 5th gen iPod Video in high school, and you bet your ass it drove me absolutely insane that I couldn't just drag and drop music onto it. The "manually manage device" setting was an absolute godsend, for sure, but I ended up installing RockBox anyway.

    I still have that iPod somewhere...

    Jump

  • It's 2025. You shouldn't need an external device to manage the files of the already perfectly-capable device that's in your pocket. I manage to do so just fine with my Android. I can download whatever media I want directly to it and play said media with whatever player app I choose.

  • TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System

    So yes, "TPMS sensor" is a valid term.

  • Yeah, that's pretty cheap. Is your $300 number for all 4? Because that's more expensive than Discount Tire's price...
