  • Is Stremio a honeypot?

    Jump

  • People that really want convenience just pay for streaming services. Stremio has a shitty transferrate and even with 1GB internet you aren't able to watch anything 4k, for example.

    I can't relate with the complait about setting up jellyfin/VPN, that's something you only need to do once. Theorically Stremio would also need a VPN because it is getting it from a torrent, no? Just get stuff you need in advance and you won't have to wait and will get to watch something HQ if you have the setup to do so.

    I also don't know/care about debrid so I can't comment on it. Isn't it direct download?

  • Stremio is a parasite. They are "legal" because the app itself doesn't contain anything illegal, you have to add the plugins on the side. It is just awful because it just leeches from torrents and don't seed anything.

    We're just self hosting our stuff and using Jellyseer, it's convenient and we can just forget stuff seeding as long as we can

  • I dislike that there isn't another option like "don't show me this on the front page" or something. Blocking sounds too strong for me, haha

  • I should probably learn with you and start blocking people, but I don't see many things that trigger the need being on Beehaw

  • Nearly all major car companies are sabotaging EV transition, and Japan is worst, study finds

    Jump

  • That isn't what I asked for but thanks. Their comment implied hydrogen is unsafe and I asked sourced for that, because I couldn't find any.

  • Care to share some sources regarding hytrogen safety?

  • Can electric woks produce great stir-fry?

    Jump

  • I hate that all the new buildings where I live have gas stoves. I really want electric induction to take over, I don't understand how it is okay to build something that uses literal fire considering everything here in north america is built using wood. It's crazy.

  • I'm not a fan of Kenji López-Alt, I've visited a bunch of restaurants he recomended and they were all pretty meh.

    Not saying he's wrong or anything, but I wish they'd asked someone else lol

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately that doesn't apply when you are on your work computer and need to connect to your environment which is behind a corporate VPN. Thanks for telling me about code-server though, I'll check that definitely!

  • I agree, just need to figure out how to connect to a pod using OpenSSH.

  • It removes the proprietary part inserted when MS builds the code. This unfortunately makes other proprietary extensions useless, such as Dev Containers. You can still use the main extension marketplace by changing a .json but some MS extensions won't work at all (tried it last week).

  • I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun

    Jump

  • I completely forgot about that! I used foobar2000 a lot back in the day, but never managed how to manage my iPod through it, it was just my main music player.

    Is there a market for modified iPods? I'd love to get one already modified with the flash storage you mentioned

  • Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

    Jump

  • I've had this happen and did upload the selfie but I think it happened because I was blocking some extra stuff that it was flagging my account to be automated

  • The easiest problem

    Jump

  • I'd say because fortran is often used for calculations such as numerical analysis where you have x, y and z for example.

    I have written fortran code in the past and it was mainly for that.

    Jump

  • The only reason I stopped using my iPod was because I lost it. 🥲

    It was my companion for many many years, I think I lost it in 2016 or something. I recently started considering getting another one, but I honestly wouldn't like having to install iTunes just for it.

  • Why people don't talk about Google Maps' privacy issues

    Jump

  • I always try to keep in mind there are a lot of people that are simply unable to transition to alternative apps because they lack knowledge and time to do research on such things. What we see through videos isn't the majority of the people, it is people that make content for the majority.

    People have hard times getting into more technical stuff already. Expecting people that are struggling to survive in capitalism to spend their free time learning about underground alternatives or to turn into sys admins and host their own stuff is out of touch if reality in my opinion.

    Edit: just wanted to add, I wouldn't say the problem is on the people, but on big tech that predates on them

  • I think it is weird they didn't say anything before, considering Dorsey deleted his account 8 months ago.
