I dump Blu-rays to my NAS with zero re-encoding. Even for older shows the quality is leaps and bounds superior to any streaming service with plenty of bandwidth.

Even with fantastic WiFi I prefer to keep as much off of simply to conserve resources. And yeah Gigabit Ethernet at this point should be a minimum.

I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.

It’s actually a pretty fantastic distribution and soothes my FreeBSD-based snobby notions of a clean, organized OS.

shady?

Can we talk about why the hell the date-time picker is not in UTC or ISO8601 by the way?? Am I the only one hacking the format to inject the time zone so the server has some type of fucking clue as to what it is? Even then you’re still screwed because DST may have changed between the current date and/or time and the one selected.

I dump Blu-rays either directly to BDMV or MKV (TV shows) on a wired NAS; streaming to Apple TV via Infuse is super smooth.

By far my favorite desktop-oriented Linux distro but damn do I wish it were available for aarch64.

Windows vibes

Desktop.ini, desktop.ini, DESKTOP.INI or some other fucked up casing

Native English speaker here, what does “shaddy” mean?

That’s right, but I was talking about a C project.

There’s not. It’s hosted on either google.com or www.google.com (can’t remember which). I’m pretty sure it’s intentional to get you to unblock Google.

This happens to me a lot (I block Google’s domains). shakes fist Curse you Google for hosting it on google.com you tricky fucks!

My car is too old for this surveillance stuff but I do wonder if there’s a small computer (I’m imagining a Raspberry Pi but obviously it wouldn’t be that) that can be flashed, or if not plugged into another device that limits its ability to phone home (iptables and the like).

I see this too and it’s caused by the actual server not having a certificate belonging to the domain. It’s likely a configuration problem (and okay) but I don’t like to take chances.

If they offer a torrent, perhaps it’s better to use that for now.

The minute lossless becomes available wirelessly I’ll ditch my ridiculous headphone cable.

A lot of the macOS networking stack (at a lower level) comes from FreeBSD. People have argued that the BSD network stack is superior to Linux whereas Linux runs applications faster. At a low level, I think this is still accurate.

I’m a Ruby developer but I tried to port a Linux application written in C to macOS before and it was mostly rearranging positional arguments to system API calls; however there’s probably a lot more going on that I’m not aware of too.

I mean what did you expect? It’s a corporate-owned platform so they’re in control, not you.

At least with Lemmy and other federated platforms you can have direct ownership over your data if you so wish. You can even spin up an entire instance and become your own boss.

As far as Discord goes, I’ve only rarely used it and can agree that the UI is trash but that’s about it.

I don’t know what to say. It’s a shit platform, don’t use it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s weird to me when people come here to complain about Reddit.
