Presidents usually wait until the very end of their final term before _really_ issuing pardons (so questions about the really eyebrow-raising ones, and every president has at least a few, don’t dog them for the rest of their time in office)

Yeah I run Jellyfin+Infuse at home. The biggest selling point for me is that Infuse has "all the codecs" and I can just throw anything, including full bitrate UHD content at the devices and the server doesn't need to do any

Because the government is importing a massive number of people relative to the country’s population and not building anywhere near enough housing. They ain’t slowing down any time soon so it’s gonna get even worse.
