Trust me, I can look like a jackass for far, far less.
I’m choosing to believe it’s satire.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•"Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature?
7·7 hours agoThe actual shape of your signature hasn’t really meant much for some time. As recently as 2005, Visa’s contract had the most bizarre requirements.
You are supposed to sign the back of your card. If you paid with the card, you had to sign the receipt. The cashier was supposed to examine the signature on the card and the signature on the receipt and decide if they matched.
But. If the card was not signed, the cashier was supposed to insist that the person present sign the card, and then the cashier was supposed to compare the signatures right there. We were also forbidden by contract from asking for ID.

A small town near me got in deep shit for being small town assholes recently. That and embezzlement. This town is on a major highway to Myrtle Beach. They also prided themselves on the “safety” and “smallness” of their town, while also preying on vacationers.
Their municipal police police would aggressively enforce the speed limits. Every time I had to go through there you’d see someone running speed at nearly every speed zone change. As little as one to two mph over would get you an interaction with them. They also would issue tickets for far more than was normal. Up to 10 over was easily a $400 ticket, when most places would only do $150. They were also kind and polite about it. They’d offer to take payment right then and eliminate the speeding points. Which was the issue.
If you paid there they wouldn’t report the ticket. Or the cash. The town kept the money; the town was making about a million a year. You were fined under a safety ordinance and not traffic law. They were also supposed to share portions with the county and state, but didn’t. They argued that it was not a traffic violation. This town of barely 700 people had fifteen police just running speed traps.
They eventually were found out, and the municipal police department was heavily curtailed. The county manages speed through there and is nowhere as aggressive about it.

I always felt that the default package situation for Ubuntu was far better than Debian’s. Like, no, I don’t want to set a root password and then manually install sudo or doas after and then add myself to the relevant group and then remove the root password…
Can confirm. I arch bottom, btw.

I honestly have never noticed an outage of that type, and wasn’t aware. Good to know.
I maintain both Plex and jellyfin on the same servers at the same time because honestly neither is a full solution that I’m happy with. 😥
Not OP, but I don’t expose my jellyfin to the internet because of the rough edges and its age. It hasn’t been around long enough for me to trust it. It’s probably fine. I’m just not ready yet.
I barely expose my Plex server to the internet. Both are pretty seriously firewalled, and my jellyfin is only visible outside via tailscale.
