I saw Alan Tudnyk credited again, was he in it? I must have missed the weasel if so.

I bought the Emby lifetime license about 2 years ago when the plex remote streaming stuff first started getting talked about. It coincided with my server refresh so it ended up working out. I have been really happy with Emby so far.

One thing to note is that music streaming on remote devices is WAY better on plex, Emby behaves more like a mapped network drive running over the internet to a local music player that then forgets your position on pause or when you move away from the remote app/device whereas Plex is actually functional as a modern music player. I keep a local copy of my music library on my phone anyways and okay through Gonemad so it is a non-issue for me but Emby should work better than it does in that case.

Plex also allows/provides “live” tv (with ads) which can be nice if you are into that, and there is the “free” streaming library too which Emby doesn’t offer. I’ll keep plex around for those features but non-of my stuff is/will be hosted on Plex.

I actually ran into the same issue, never did figure it out. I started on Fedora Silverblue and rebased to Bazzite.

Beat me to it.

Yeah, you aren’t really supposed to layer packages they want to use something like distrobox or similar. I know some things basically have to be (I am fighting with openjdk) but that is where 99% of my issues on bazzite came from. I started just spinning up a vm to run all my random bullshit that required layering in and its been solid ever since.

Honda coolant controlled Idle control valves require the same procedure when they go bad.

At least you won’t be frolicking with ticks.

I left a toxic workplace (for another more toxic workplace, then left that one too) and found an actual good job with nice people who provide proper pay and time off. Been there almost 3 years now. My blood pressure went down by 20 points, I fall asleep easier (without supplements or medicine) my commute went from 70 minutes to 5, and I get to see my kids at lunch and early after school now.

There are better things out there, don’t stay somewhere that sucks because you are used to it. It’s not worth your health. Even if you find another shitty place, you don’t give up and settle. The place I landed after I left the first one was bad and I felt really dumb for falling for the sales pitch on it but I stuck around until I found my current gig and bailed on them. Once you realize that you can just leave it’s really freeing.

Oh look, another example of a product that worked fine without internet connectivity and was improved by adding extra bullshit you don’t actually need that then gets worse when those features can’t function properly because their server is offline.

We got a basic roomba 650 (the one that crashes into stuff and randomly cleans) like 10 years ago and it still works fine (well, as well as it ever worked which wasn’t great), you program the time and day of the week with physical buttons, and leave it alone.

I think you need to think about the rate at which technology has advanced in the last hundred years in general, then look at how it changed in the 10 year increments in that period then extrapolate out what has plateaued vs ramped up.

Broadly speaking, there have been major changes but the telephone existed in 1925, so did refrigeration, powered flight, and cars.

Medical tech is really where I think the biggest difference has been, and where I think we will continue to see major changes. If you compare our medical knowledge of diseases, cancer, and genetics today vs 1925 it seems huge (to an outsider). The difference between a computer in 1950 and today is largely scale and computer power, yeah, its improved but it still fundamentally does math in the same basic manner. Quantum computers may change that some but its still essentially math.

The old expression “the solution to polution is dilution” is fucking horrifying. Bioaccumulation and environmental persistence were known well even in the 50s with mercury and things like ddt but the industrial lobbies were just real good at preventing meaningful legislation or regulations. Now we get all the downsides.

I hope they are a reissue, otherwise chewy has seen some things.

Good question, I got an ad on my fucking banana the other day…

Don’t worry it’s engine nerd shit, no one there is having any sex.

On the fedira ws vm, I just layered it because its easy. I tried running openjdk in distrobox on bazzite but I didn’t have time to screw around with getting the program (Tunerstudio MS) that is already on my bazzite install to “find” the java in distrobox. I’m also REALLY new to distrobox so I was probably using it wrong. I’ll checkout toolbox later today.

Yeahh java is a pain in the ass to get setup on bazzite without breaking stuff when you have an os update. I spun a fedora vm up and just installed it there but I need to redo that because the program I need java for is on my main os and I can’t move the license without javing java installed on the main os…

Some of them had localized burn but from reading on it (quickly a few minutes ago) it seemed to go away on power off? I’m not 100% sure on that though. Its really only an issue olof you have static stuff like channel logos or tickers on the screen for long durations afaik.

Add lentils and some root veggies and you are probably on the money. Bone broth is probably also beneficial.

Critical question here is when do you cross the line differentiating a soup/stew and a casserole? What moisture content by weight or volume makes something a soup/stew?
