I went all to AV1 last year. Enough stuff supports it, and realtime transcoding on a (relatively cheap) Arc GPU works well enough.

AV1 is superior enough for both size and visual fidelity, that it’s worth the slightly extra encoding time. But absolutely not if you don’t have HW encoding.

Elaborate.

We don’t usually do it for fun, but I’m sure my teammate who has petitioned deploying a “chaosmonkey”-thingy to our prod clusters would love it 😁

My team made the “mistake” that all new projects need to be built and approved on our dev clusters before we allow them to be deployed to the prod clusters. We’re very explicit that dev is ephemeral, and that everything should be as code, so everything heals itself…

Despite this, whenever we reprovision the dev env, we always get emails from several different people saying that we wiped their prod databases and such. It’s crazy.

How about when they “accidentally” sent that email to all your users saying that they NEED to buy Plex Pass to continue to use remote streaming? Or when they had that “bug” in the app shortly after that, where remote streaming would give an error message saying that need to buy Plex Pass to stream your content?

Maybe they don’t solicit from you, but they use dark tactics to trick your users, and that’s not acceptable in my opinion.

Therapy of some sorts is probably going to be more effective than making self-blocks, especially if you’re technically competent. I wish you luck with stopping whatever addiction it is.

It wouldn’t really, but you should already see “the writing on the wall”. Your own collections aren’t prioritized, and who knows what they’ll do next - putting ads into your own personal collections maybe?

The final straw was when sent that “you need to pay a monthly fee to do remote streaming” email. It was intentionally worded very unclear… and they just so happened to have a “bug” around that time where many users got an error message saying that they needed to buy it, which isn’t true, because I had a lifetime pass on the server.

It didn’t feel ethical for me to continue using Plex, when I needed to explain to some friends and relatives that they should absolutely not give any of their money to Plex.

Where’s the suspect’s mugshot?

I can also recommend rclone ncdu if you haven’t tried that before.

That’s also why the NSA and such stores sooo much encrypted data. They most likely don’t have the power to break it yet, but they will, and/or utilize when flaws are found.

Otherwise, etckeeper is nice.

Hot take: for-profit orgs should be buying TLS certificates from the CA cartel instead of using Let’s Encrypt. Unless you’re donating to LE, and in that case it’s cool.

He’s still the same self-serving prick, just that he’s trying to buy himself some karma whilst channeling his riches through his own foundations.

Your entire post sounds like user-problem? I’ve only experienced one false-alarm in my entire life… and that was because I had a guest who assumed I’d be okay with her smoking in my living room.

Among many other examples such as IPRED. In a weird way, I’m glad that such an awful directive blatantly states its purpose, instead of all the other “think about the children/terrorists/whatnot”…

Ah, I got in. Just like the Swedish king, I’m actually dyslexic haha.

I’d love to be able to disable animations though. And be able to zoom when viewing image posts. And be able to view NSFW by holding in on the main feed (it seems like holding in on any image copies it to my Android clipboard?). And opening links via WebView or such instead of Chrome custom tabs could be cool, as I like how it’s basically a fresh session every time. And swiping to upvote is nice too.

(I know you didn’t ask for feedback, because it’s still really nice how it is now; just some ideas if you’re bored – no idea if it’s practical it’d even be implement this kind of stuff inwhat I think is a progressive webapp?) Keep up the great work! /Sent from my Blorp

Looks really nice! But do you have any debug for logging in? I’m 100% certain that I’m logging in correctly, but it says invalid login every time.

second question, aborting an active download not shutting the terminal down: neither ctrl+z nor ctrl+q work and opening htop to kill the process seems overkill. What I now do is to simply shut the active tab, but there must be a faster way.

Ctrl+C.

wtf I love Norway now? Sweden is at like 2%.

But Norway’s Linux spiked up to almost 30% in July 2024 as well. So I don’t really trust these sites. My guess is that it’s due to Tesla’s web browser or something? Tesla is the most popular electric car brand in Norway: 77k Model Y and 50k Model 3 are registered, and the only model with higher numbers is the Nissan Leaf with 81k, but that’ll be taken over very shortly (so far in 2025, there have been over 11k Model Y registrations, with the next runner-up being the Toyota BZ4X with 4,6k)

I mean, that’s kinda like RHEL if you pay for the “self-service” subscription?
