not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • PSA: Nova Launcher added Facebook and Google Ads tracking

    Jump

  • Aye, I'm all good and stopped using Nova after many years when the Branch crap came out.

    It's the FB domain, and their many other bought out ones (WhatsApp nty) that are blocked at a network level here. No ghost accounts for me :p

  • Cheers OP for the heads up, sooooo glad I started blocking those domains a long while ago with OpenWRT > Tailscale exit node at home.

    Frustrating sometimes since peeps link many charities and shit via FB, but easily circumvented via archive sites tor i2p etc.

  • Steam users in the UK will need a credit card to access “mature content” games

  • They're reactionaries that think their VPN to the Houses of Parliament is some magical thing that they can monetize and control.

    And they can fuck off.

    Jump

  • Indeed.

    Reminds me of the Android Market Play Store and not being able to use PayPal back yonder and having to use a throwaway top-up, debit card if you wanted to buy apps. Ewww.

    e: the online Safety thing can suck my plums?

  • Are you telling us we should put a bet on Charlie copping it soon? 🤔

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • I think it was actually DBAN I dabbled with firstly, and then like you Knoppix. I played too much later with microkernel distros like DSL / Tinycore, then Debian / Ubuntu's etc.

  • Plex server patching required

    Jump

  • Yeah I was gonna say, Plex has a terrible UI and is why I stay away from that crap.

    Jellyseerr thou is something even my less than tech savvy peeps I know just punch stuff into and making the Telegram channel make noises. I should really turn those notifications off.

  • Plex server patching required

    Jump

  • https://docs.jellyseerr.dev/getting-started

    tldr: searches metadata websites for movies and TV shows, and then adds thing to Jellyfin.

    You can even then tell your *arrrr stack

    https://trash-guides.info/

    to report things that succeed/fail to external services like Telegram.

    What I do find weird is actually searching the Plex server I have access to for media

    https://files.catbox.moe/rugpx0.jpg

    Like, I could? But what I like doing is abusing another family members fibre connection to request things for both of us, that then appears in their Jellyfin magically.

    Jump

  • Yup.

    Jump

  • Didn't stop me, either.

    In fact, Jellyseerr is a game changer. Wanna talk about it?

  • T1, Corning reach deal to make fully American-made solar panels

    Jump

  • No no no u, the person who downvoted you deals only in figuritwatts.

  • TrueNAS 25.10 Begins Testing With Faster Performance, 400GbE Networking

    Jump

  • I'm taking these posts as Gigabits, and Megathreads

    Fuck the pendants?

  • TrueNAS 25.10 Begins Testing With Faster Performance, 400GbE Networking

    Jump

  • Depends on your future proofing.

    I've got a box with two 2.5GbE ethernet ports incoming, but it only takes one 1GbE or 100 Mbps device before that to bottleneck it.

  • Looks at 1GbE bottleneck.

  • Always used to amaze me as a kid I had to pay 20p to inflate my bike tyre from, air.

    Boggled my mind since I had a hand pump.

  • The UK’s Online Safety Act is a licence for censorship – and the rest of the world is following suit

    Jump

  • Southport was a tinderbox, but the current trends if you're actually from the UK shows that there's a bonfire incoming.

    You only have to watch a couple of YouTube live streams.....wait. Tomorrow I wait for age gating to see if Google is that.....nefarious in stopping me watching YTP vids without a passport.

    Ima gonna giggle

  • Reddit will block the Internet Archive

    Jump

  • I wanna see if YouTube is that stupid they send my 18+ year old YT account an age verification check. April 2007 feels like a long time ago.....

    Dumping YT / gMaps / Google SSO etc and replacing them bit by bit is a hard vice to break, but I've got others using self hosted shit now (yay Immich and Jellyseerr arr....) and I'll keep on doing it for others too.
