Miss me with that low bitrate
  • I went with Emby after I started having concerns with privacy on Plex. I have a lifetime sub of Plex and used it for like 8 or 9 years, but I really dislike that they would send emails to users about stats of who watches what, etc.

    I would have gone Jellyfin too, but Emby has a cloud connect setup for easy server switching, and I wanted the LDAP plugin among many other plugins available.

    Be careful.
  • The better argument is that many keyboards don't have an Insert key. I usually use Shift+Insert myself because it's more likely to work on all terminal types, including Windows and Linux, but have ran into times where I just don't have an insert, like on my laptop and Chromebook. So yeah, I might switch to Ctrl+Shift+V as my go to.

    Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?
  • Explaining that I'm a systems and infrastructure admin is actually easier for me than explaining my organization to people lol. Because it's a local government agency that provides services to school districts, and people don't really know we exist if they aren't a district staff member themselves (and even then sometimes they don't know!), and we're a bit niche in our specific services, I usually just end up saying "school ISP" despite that only being a small part of it. 😂

    without saying how old you are, how old are you?
  • When I played with AWS way back before it became the behemoth it is, I used it to simply store a few small things, like my Keepass DB. I then deleted it.

    So my fun fact: if you ever had an account with AWS and delete it, you can never use that same exact email again. So I went from lastname.firstname@gmail.com to lastnamefirstname@gmail.com and have had that AWS account for way longer than the original.

    Did you know? [poorly drawn lines]
  • I like how you upset two different people for entirely different reasons. One for it being so old that their mortality comes into question, one for it being the origin.

    I find podcasts funny in that when they first came out, my boss as the time wouldn't stfu about the latest one he found that I should definitely buy and iPod for and binge it all. But now? I listen to podcasts more than music when driving. Just hundreds and hundreds of hours of listening to them.

    Count your days
  • Many years ago, I went to my GP and she told me a story from when she was in med school, pre-internet. She had a really bad headache and went through with researching the cause. After hours of going through research papers and textbooks, she determined she had brain cancer. So even before WebMD have us all brain cancer, doctors were already self diagnosing it.

    What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?
  • To clarify, websites can't capture keyboard events that were typed into a different website like you're thinking. Think of going to a web game that let's you use WASD for controlling your character. It's able to capture those events on that page because its in focus. When a site goes out of focus (such as switching tabs or switching to another window that's not the browser), it loses that ability. Overall, it's very secure.

    I was more wondering how you thought capturing the mouse movements would lead to security issues.

    I guess we doin'
  • Lmao thanks for letting me know about its other uses.

    I was looking at massage guns, like the one by arboleaf on Amazon, primarily for how focused it looks like I can be with hitting specific muscles. Being literally unable to walk until this cramp calmed down was terrible.

    But yes, these also all look like a solid wank.
