I imagine Microsoft has the same problem as Google, which is internally prioritizing flashy new things over maintaining useful old things. That's why Google comes out with so many new things and kills so many old things.

If you want a raise/promotion/etc., you have a better shot at it by bragging about the new feature/service you launched than bragging about maintaining the relatively stable project that's been running for years but could use some improvements.

It's a really bad structure imo and I hate that Google and other companies prioritize like that :/

My server pc is just my old computer parts. Ryzen 3 2200G with with 6Gb of RAM. It gets the job done!

I use Docker for my setup and mistakenly had my qBittorrent download folder and my *arr media folders mounted as /downloads and /movies as opposed to /arr/downloads and /arr/movies

The *arr programs running inside their containers don't know that the two folders are actually on the same drive because it sees them as two separate mount points. Once I changed my *arr containers to mount my directories correctly, the hard linking worked as expected instead of copying files over. I then ran fclones and recovered over 700 GB of storage from deduplication.

I had a few metadata issues with Jellyfin until I changed the primary metadata source to be the same as what Radarr/Sonarr use so they all the file names match up and I've had no issues since.

I also don't have a notable issues with subtitles in Jellyfin, but maybe your requirements have more friction. Have you tried the (iirc included by default) Jellyfin plugin to automatically download subtitles for your stuff? Or the *arr program that handles subtitles (I forget its name)?

I've been diagnosed with typing out commands instead of clicking buttons (it's terminal)

I love comb jellies so much they're one of my favorite animals

A lot of what this administration will do is going to be illegal and nonsensical and dumb, but they will do so much of it that it will be impossible to effectively push back against it all. If you hear something that you care about, pick that and keep up with it. Don't get overwhelmed by the torrent of stuff happening over the next four years.

This is especially true in the current media environment, where there's so much noise that it's really difficult to break in and sort through what's true and what's false and what's missing context and what's misleading and what's technically true but there are other factors that change how it plays out in reality, etc.

It takes a lot of energy to keep up with it all, so pick something you care about and pay attention to developments about that. Maybe that's trans rights, immigrant rights, democratic institutions, economics, geopolitics, military industrial complex, whatever. You won't be able to effectively care about it all, so pick one and focus on that.

I learned this the other day and someone mentioned that replying with just "STOP" flags the sender as spam to the telecom company.

Might I introduce you to the wonderful language known as Nim? Python-like syntax, compiles to C, C++, and even JS, has mature libraries and good tooling, and some memory safety features built in! And yes, you can use pointers!

For anyone wondering why a new law would target reusable bags as well, the phrasing of the old law basically encouraged stores to replace single use plastic bags with reusable plastic bags. Reusable bags use more plastic so they're sturdier and last longer, but they were treated as single use bags anyways so functionally we were just producing and subsequently wasting more plastic.

I haven't read this new law but hopefully it encourages or requires actually using paper bags or cardboard boxes or something if you don't have your own reusable bag. It would be a shame if it just kicks the can down the road again and people buy reusable bags in the checkout aisle that they throw away when they get home instead of keeping in the car.

They didn't include https so the link doesn't know what protocol it's meant to open with

tldr the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs flung debris into the atmosphere and some probably made it all the way out to the moon

i have no clue how reliable the source of this claim is because i dont care i just wanted to know what the headline meant

I don't wear mine often, but I find that somehow the corners always get smudges on them no matter how careful I am to not touch the lenses. Keep a microfiber cloth around to clean them.

I use EyeBuyDirect for my glasses and don't have any complaints. They come in a box with a microfiber bundle to carry them glasses in and wipe them off with. Obviously since it's online you'll have to be careful about getting a pair that fits correctly, but if you get a temporary or cheap pair in real life that you know the measurements of you can find a pair with similar stats.

If you use the public instance you don't need to set up or host or install anything. You can selfhost it if you want, but the public instance works just fine.

One person goes to the web page and starts a room. The other can join the same room by knowing the name of the room. (It will generate a link when you create a room to make it easy to send to someone so they can join by just clicking the link.)

Consider giving MiroTalk a try. It has several versions but the P2P version would probably be perfect for your scenario. It's free, runs in your browser, doesn't need an account, and doesn't have time limit shenanigans. I've used it in lieu of Discord calls before and don't have any complaints.
