The Internet is bad.

  • I believe the last time I had to do a Windows re-install, I was nagged THREE times to enable OneDrive. Each time, the opt out button was increasingly difficult to locate, and the verbiage more & more resembling "you're an idiot if you don't enable this".

    Even after refusing to use it x3, once Windows was installed, OneDrive was still sitting down in the system tray, ready to fuck shit up.

  • Since I run in Game Mode, the reboot is pretty much baked into the update process.

    Go to Settings. See update. Apply update. Reboot when it says it's ready.

    Aside from that, the PC just chills in Sleep when not being used.

  • It could quite simply be that Sony already knew Bluepoint was on the chopping block when they made the request.

    So they just brushed them off with a deflecting "nah, FromSoft doesn't want to do that" response.

  • My Bazzite PC lives in a cabinet under my living room TV, next to my PS5.

    I put it to sleep when not in use, so I can wake it with my 8bitdo controller.

    It's basically a second gaming console.

  • Seriously, we need to convince him that all of the AI companies are saying mean things about him. Then maybe we might be able to afford RAM.

  • I really like Audiobookshelf for audiobooks.

    But it breaks my brain that it still hasn't implemented some sort of automatic queueing of new podcast episodes. Every time you finish a podcast episode, you need to manually go into the app and find the next episode to play. Not ideal for when you're driving...

  • Personally, my ISP (T-Mobile 5G) has CGNAT and blocks all incoming traffic. I can't simply Wireguard into my network. Tailscale has been my intermediary to get remote access.

    I guess it's time to figure how how to host an alternative on a VPS (I see Headscale mentioned in these comments).

  • I knew WB's HD-DVDs (remember those?) were a timebomb. I didn't realize regular DVDs were, too.

  • I've always used Transmission, since there's a Docker container I use that bakes in your VPN-of-choice & a killswitch.

    That said, it looks like it hasn't been updated in over a year... I wonder if there's anything else out there that does the same thing as this. (EDIT: Yes. Google brings up plenty of choices.)

  • Saying nginx with a "hard g" can get you into some real trouble...

  • The sad truth is that the vast majority of people WANT an algorithm to tell them what they like.

    Mastodon requires you to actually have your own opinions going in, and follow material based on that.

  • Also the Android TV app is AWESOME!

    I dunno....

    There's a transcoding bug in the Android TV version of the Jellyfin client where transcoding a video with 7.1 audio breaks playback. Even with a Pull Request out there that fixes it (by matching the behavior of other Jellyfin clients), the issue got closed as "not planned". The continued suggestion continues to be "just force everything to play in stereo".

    I don't have unlimited bandwidth, so plenty of my stuff gets transcoded in Plex. I can't, in good, conscience, switch my friends & family (most of who use Android TV) over to Jellyfin.

  • I legitimately don't understand why the U.S. isn't the only locality where it shows up as "Gulf of America".

    Set the en-US string to "Gulf of America". Leave literally every other region's text string untouched from what it was 6 months ago.

    When the next Democrat U.S. President gets sworn in and immediately Executive Orders it back to "Gulf of Mexico", change the en-US string back to that.

    This is all so stupid and melodramatic.

  • It was all about "fun" in the days of MySpace and Digg and early-Reddit. That damn cat wanted a damn cheeseburger and we all laughed about it.

    Then it became all about politics. And people would go to any lengths to ensure that "their" politics "won" on social media. We went from people having fleets of alt accounts, to fleets of bots, to just having AI spread and upvote propaganda.

    So, it's all just gross now. I want my goddamn Geocities & Yahoo! Towers back.

  • Such a weird thing for everyone to fixate on and lose their shit. Let our dumbass en-US selves do whatever "official" dumbass thing we have to with the name.

    Everyone else can leave it what it always was.

    Next time there's a Democrat U.S. President, the "en-US" term will be changed back to Gulf of Mexico.

    This is stupid.

  • I do worry about Nissan's future when they seem to be about this close to operating with zero profits.

  • Genuinely curious... How does Google handle other oceanic naming that isn't agreed upon Worldwide?

  • c13 plug

    Who would've thought.... 3DFX was apparently ahead of its time...
