Jellyfin newbie

I just started setting up a Jellyfin server and am moving all of my old DVD backups off of an ancient NAS that doesn’t play well with modern TVs or Chromecast. Can’t cast half the videos anymore because crhomecast says F you to certain audio and video formats, but jellyfin has zero trouble talking to my TV. It was going so...

Just an aside, but it may help others who have this issue to share the solution that worked for you

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the “vote with your money” method isn’t anything to ridicule.

hydration9806 ,

Encapsulated in that “etc.” in my first response is “going out of business”. This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.

It doesn’t matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.

Lastly, I just don’t like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don’t want to support.

hydration9806 ,

Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it’s supposed to.

Wow, that’s more than a millennium, isn’t it?

Google Gemini might soon handle your WhatsApp calls, notifications, and more (APK teardown) (www.androidauthority.com)

Google is on a determined mission to make Gemini an indispensable part of our daily routines. With deeper integrations into popular apps like Spotify and the Pixel 9 series shipping with Gemini as the default assistant, it’s clear that Google has ambitious plans for its AI model....

I’m on the most recent GrapheneOS with both the Google Camera app and the Graphene camera app installed and enabled, and can confirm the double tap of the power button can be set to open the Google Camera app! Downside is I have no idea how I did it 😅

Unfortunately, the same thing happens when you turn it all the way up

Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people?

Hello all! My buddy and I finally finished up Baldur’s Gate 3 this week and we are not left with a giant co-op game shaped whole in our hearts. It was such an incredible experience and it was truly even more fun running through it together. We are excited to hop into another game, but we have no idea what to play. We’ve...

Stardew Valley. My wife and I have sunk well over 1000 hours into it and we still aren’t bored. The amount of mods for it is insane and gives so much more depth to the game, but vanilla is super well done as well.

Easier to get a job if you have a job. Probably should use the earnings to see a therapist to deal with the job application anxiety.

YSK to lose weight, fill up with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables. This can trigger satiety without the overload of calories and beats going hungry long term.

Why YSK: many countries have issues with weight, such as mine with 74% of US adults being overweight or obese. The global weight loss industry is over $200 billion yearly, with many influencers, pills, and surgeries promising quick results with little effort. These often come with side effects, or don’t work long term....

hydration9806 ,

This is oddly controversial, but an even more satiating method is to consume more protein. If you hit your goal body weight (lbs) in grams of protein, you won’t be reaching for that end of day snack.

Note drinking the protein instead of eating it doesn’t work nearly as well for this.

hydration9806 ,

I’ve had the opposite response. Generally I get a “good on ya, I should really delete it too”

hydration9806 ,

It can happen to anyone, even you! All it takes is for you to be a bit tired, stressed, or have a bit of an emotional response and it can quickly spiral.

Hell, even the guy who came up with the term “phishing” clicked a phishing link at the height of his cyber security career and just barely caught himself before providing info.

These people aren’t idiots, they are victims who were tricked.

I believe what they mean is “fuck car centric societal design”. No reasonable person should be mad that someone is using the current system to live their life (i.e. driving to work). What the real goal is spreading awareness that a car centric society is inherently isolating and stressful, and that one more lane does absolutely nothing to lessen traffic (except for like a month ish)

Passkey = Resident Key

Nonresident keys are not passkeys, they are solely a second form of authentication meaning the service you are logging into still requires a password.

hydration9806 ,

Yes, as long as that place is only accessible by a physical passkey (such as a Yubikey). The risk is miniscule and the convenience is 100% worth it.

hydration9806 ,

For sure, but that still isn’t a passkey. The method you are talking about is the equivalent of non-passphrase protected SSH protocol, which is a single form of authentication (i.e. if someone has your security key they have your account).

The term passkey implies MFA: having a physical key and a password, a physical key and a fingerprint scan, or equivalent.

Sure the username could be considered the password, but usernames are not designed to be protected the same way. For example, they typically are stored in clear text in a services database, so one databreach and it’s over.

The real question is whether this was put up on April 2 or is a really old sign from Feb 4. ISO 8601 saves lives people, but probably not as many as proper lock out/tag out procedures.

Canada. Now you know two! Granted, we are basically the 51st state at this point…

hydration9806 ,

Actually it is possible to do it locally! A photo management service called Ente.io is already implementing it.

hydration9806 ,

Or just make it clear your account is gone if you lose your passkey, so have a second key for backup or learn a hard lesson.

hydration9806 ,

Hence the “hard lesson” part. A lot of us tech-focused people learned the same lesson with our document backup systems. You lose some important documents, then you realize you really should backup your stuff. All I hope is these people learn the lesson earlier in life before the consequences become more and more severe.

hydration9806 ,

From another tall guy, how was it? Obviously not worth the price, but is it absolutely not worth the price or just very not worth the price?

hydration9806 ,

I feel we are in need of a societal shift here, just like another commenter said about the printing press. When that first came out, the pushback was from the worry that the words would be attributed to someone who never said them (reverse plaigerism). The societal adjustment to this was the universal doubt that anyone said that thing without proof.

For generative AI, when it becomes widespread, photos will be generateable for literally everyone, not just minors but every person with photos online. It will be a societal shift; images will be assumed to be AI generated, making any guilt or shame about a nude photo existing obselete.

Just a matter of time so may as well start now!

This is only true for processed foods. If you stick to a whole food diet, it’s actually more common to under eat sodium, which has it’s own host of negative health effects.

Lol somehow you nailed it. Joining now!

Canada is debatably worse than the US when it comes to tipping. In the US, wait staff are paid less than minimum wage so it makes sense to tip them (even though the system should change), but in Canada they is no such exception and the minimum prompt is 18%.

Also, the other day Subway prompted me to tip…

Crazy idea: pay them both more so the public doesn’t have to

Nope, you can backup the chats and import them when installing Signal on the new device

Will Corpos try to force all computing on the to cloud and make privately owned local storage illegal?

Seems like the next logical step. Most big games are always-online Games as a Service where your local storage is useless if the company server doesn’t handshake. A lot of business and productivity software already requires subscriptions and is partially online. Every single fucking company wants to have an app on your phone...

Not commenting on the content, but you should not dismiss an argument because it contains a slippery slope. A slippery slope fallacy is an informal fallacy, meaning it’s existence does not inherently mean an argument is flawed.

hydration9806 ,

I’d recommend giving Sleep by Matthew Walker a read. It dives into many topics including how caffeine negatively affects sleep, which it does regardless if people feel it does or not.

Similarly, as an example, a lot of people think alcohol doesn’t affect their sleep (or makes it better), but research shows even 1 drink hurts the effectiveness of sleep by interrupting the sleep cycles.

The 3 "M"s are not numerical, but indicate characters. For example 01 Jan 2023.

I use Duplicacy to encrypt and backup my data to OneDrive on a schedule. If Proton ever creates a Linux client for Drive, then I’ll switch to that, but I’m not holding my breath.
