  • Plex server patching required

    Jump

  • You do realize that Jellyseerr is a fork of Overseerr which was created for Plex. So this is in no way a unique feature or even an advantage of Jellyfin over Plex...

  • Asterix & Obelix - Mission Babylon – Official Announcement Trailer

    Jump

  • Given that the trailer itself and the description include game consoles and "add the game to your wishlist here", I think it's quite obviously a game. Not sure how you can reach any other conclusions if you actually opened the link.

  • Become back content

    Jump

  • Only because there's not been any significant interest to change that. There are alternative already, American Express (which only issues cards for its own bank currently, but do have market share outside the USA), and Discover in the States. They both operate both sides of the system (issuing cards/credits and managing the underlying transaction network) whereas Visa and Mastercard only operate the network.

    Visa and MasterCard are by far the largest, but there's no reason that alternatives can't succeed (even though it is unlikely).

  • More than 100 candidates — most in Canadian history — to run against Poilievre in byelection

    Jump

  • Where are you even getting those numbers? Election Canada has the vote count as 41.3% for Conservatives and 43.7% for Liberals, the Conservatives absolutely did not win the popular vote.

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • I can't say there was anything that I really disliked about it, I actually really liked the app overall but I've been using Plexamp since basically the first public release so that just feels a bit more familiar. Plus I heavily use the sonic analysis features which I don't believe exist outside of plexamp (please someone tell me if I'm wrong here).

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • Completely agree. I paid for Symfonium after seeing a lot of people on here raving about it but I still ended up back with Plexamp. I'd be curious to hear what people find other apps do better than plexamp.

  • That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing

    Jump

  • If you have music on your server, I'd strongly recommend checking it out. I believe it was started as a side project by the Plex devs and it's a way better music player than the one built into the Plex apps.

    Jump

  • You're 100% correct. I always find it funny how hardcore some people are with jellyfin vs Plex. I'll probably end up getting downvotes on this but imo Plex is way simpler to setup and keep running, and as a lifetime pass owner, I've very rarely felt like my experience has been deteriorated by any of the changes that the jellyfin crowd freaks out about. Plus plexamp is honestly such a great music player. I'll happily keep running Plex for the foreseeable future.

  • Dont Ever Listen To Those Who Claim "Voting is Pointless"

    Jump

  • FYI the word you're so desperate to use is milquetoast, not milktoast.

  • Carney's Liberal party wins Canadian election and completes a stunning turnaround fueled by Trump

    Jump

  • Not quite. There's still enough polls left to report that could lead to a Liberal majority, even if that doesn't happen (it's quite unlikely), then current projections are that the NDP will have enough seats to support the minority government, even though the Bloc will hold more seats overall than the NDP.

  • What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?

    Jump

  • Other than ZFS as someone mentioned already, they also offer dual drive parity now. IMO it's a good balance to also allow a very flexible and easily expandable array.

  • Does this represent your weekend?

    Jump

  • The best part of having a homelab/home server is the reproducible dopamine hits. First you'll get some dopamine just getting the thing up and running, but then each service I decide to tackle and implement gives me a whole new hit of dopamine. Most services you can get up in a day or two of tinkering/learning even as a system noob like me. On top of that, if you don't manage to get it working, it's pretty easy to scrap the attempt and try something easier.

    Then you also get dopamine hits whenever something breaks and you manage to fix it. 10/10 would recommend.

  • How could Canada deter an invasion? Nukes and mandatory military service

    Jump

  • I completely agree with you that mandatory enlistment is essentially never acceptable as if a conflict is so dire, you'd expect citizens to feel empowered to join the fight without fear of penalty or retribution if they didn't.

    That being said, I think most of what you were replying to was not an argument for mandatory enlistment, they were suggesting that we might want to include a couple years of work placements following high school, with one option being military service but other choices being available and none decided by the government. I also believe they were suggesting that the penalty for not doing so would be similar to penalties for not attending high school and not what we've seen countries implement as penalties for conscription. I'm not saying that plan is perfect but I can at least see a significant nuance between their suggestion and military conscription.

  • Just FYI, you're the only one making a spectacle of themselves in this thread.

  • [Updated] The Green Party Reveals Its Chronology Of Events In Its Communications With The Leaders’ Debates Commission

  • Vote early, vote often. Keep out that Freedom Convoy ass kissing psychopath. Only takes ten minutes.

    Jump

  • Your post would be better worded as "if your riding isn't competitive for conservatives, you don't have to vote strategically and can vote for your preferred candidate/party."

  • Microsoft open-sourced a Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown

    Jump

  • FYI the link in your comment got cut off before the last bracket so it's not linking to the wiki page directly.

  • A single command made me switch back to Google Assistant.

    Every now and then, I'll leave the TV on while I fall asleep and for a few years now, I've just asked GA to turn off the specific tv in 2 hours. Whenever I tried to get Gemini to do the same, it would just turn off my tv immediately, no matter how I phrased the prompt.

  • I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?

    Jump

  • By saying that I didn't realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it's because it's closer to how it's done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.

    I'm planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I'd like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.
