I bought my lifetime pass in 2016/2017. That's 8 years of service for like $70? Not bad imo

The special thing about plex for me is it is effortless. I run the server, and without any port forwarding it just works. Then my in-laws can sign up, and just like that they can stream that movie I totally own legitimately... And I don&#x2

I also think people under estimate how much pondering one does before starting a project.

I think internalization is important for self improvement, so I admire the way you frame this. Try not to downplay the other part's role, though. They are also making a choice in the exchange.

I think I'm more cynical. Almost everything stated on the internet will be perceived as antagonistic. At least by some. It's more a representation of the reader's internal state rather than an issue with the question / s

Our home is pretty typical, with a few touches for my partner and I. It was definitely a more modest project for this particular builder, who typically builds homes 3x the size of ours.

When I was building my home back in 2022 the builder's audio person insisted I use Sonos. I said no. Then I said no another 100 times as this person just pushed and pushed and pushed. I eventually explained I didn't want to be ven

Fully agree. He's also really patient and kind. He's the type of person who's really really smart and doesn't make you feel really really dumb. He takes the time to thoroughly explain things, without being condescending.

Tbh, if you're already using rails the odds that you'll need svelte / react are pretty low. Sometimes you might, and those pages can pull those in, but generally speaking you can do a lot with Turbo and Stimulus.

Fully agree. I recently replaced my doomscrolling with a retro handheld and it really makes me happy. It also pushed me to pick up my ereader again. I spend enough time at a computer than I shouldn't really need a smartphone outside of

I was thinking about a super simple app I wanted to whip together today... Then I realized I can just do what I want in Notion with almost 0 effort.

> Glasses that let you record people without their awareness / consent? I get it, it's icky. I feel the same way. Nevertheless, this is already a thing.

Agile isn't entirely irrelevant, it's also not the main issue. It's a cultural one. If someone tells me they work on an 'Agile Development' team my immediate perception is that they are a culture of cargo culting an

I had the same take when I lived in a large city where each area had a healthy community. People there were friendly, eager to engage in conversation, the city had a lot of recreational sports, clubs, and places where people congregated. It

> The TV comes on, one episode runs, TV goes off. I'm curious how you track that? I don't have HA connected to plex yet, but I will. I suppose there might be an event when the 'track' changes?

Unrelated to the thread - do you use any email providers with a custom domain? If so, would you suggest them? Who are they?

Not to be that guy, because I never really have the time myself. But, I'm sure PRs are welcome

I agree. I've been really impressed with Anthropic. The issue for me comes when I want to take arbitrary user input and ask Claude questions about the user provided input. Claude is very, very, very ethical. Which is great, but it won&

Everywhere has their bad parts. I arrived in La Paz in rough shape, as I hadn't slept on the red eye on the way in. I could have easily been taken advantage of. Instead the taxi driver took me right where I was going, helped me unload

You know as much as I do that finding 2 yr old content is brutal. Especially given the volume of shitty media coverage the convoy received. If you care enough about challenging your own beliefs, and if it's so easy, you'll do it y

Again, I'm not going to go searching the internet. Engaging in these comments is already more work than is worth it. I'm never going to convince convoy supporters they are wrong. A woman took legal action against the protestors. I

I don't need to do anything. I remember it all vividly, and that's good enough for me. I know better than waste my time trying to change the minds of random strangers on the internet.

The Governor General disagrees with your position. That's good enough for me. The fact you keep coming back to this conversation when I'm clearly unwilling to put any effort in speaks volumes about you. I don't need to prove

The leaders stated on multiple occasions that their goal was for the conservatives to take power. I'm not going to waste my time searching the internet for something you're fully capable of doing yourself. You know damn well that

I fell for propaganda? Listen to yourself. You're standing by a group of people who associated with Nazis (there were more than one group with flags, and they were not immediately removed as you claim.). A group who made it clear they

If you read Agony at Easter by Thomas Coffee, which has a minute by minute account, you will see the importance of 'first few days'. There are many many simularities.

There were literal Nazi flag present. The article linked was in reference to their weak ass attempt to overthrow the government.
