Alright, I’ve officially seen too many Idiocracy references, into Jellyfin it goes.

CDs and DVDs have decent life spans unless you store them in a damp or warm environment, most likely better than flash storage. If they are old make a fresh copy and store it properly

That means you will stop arresting pro-palestine protesters, right…?
- Comment on “Is anyone out There?” - HamRadio 3 days ago:
Meshtastic/core is the cheapest hobby listed here by far, you can get a Heltec on AliExpress for like 20$ and it has no running costs. You also don’t need to be social, you can just lurk and help expand the network by being a repeater station :)
- Comment on “Is anyone out There?” - HamRadio 4 days ago:
There’s a whole new technological niche born in the space between the modern internet and old school AM/FM radio. AX.25, meshtastic, meshcore, reticulum, just to name a few. You are absolutely not alone in wanting to build a resilient, grassroots communication network that relies on good old radio waves from and to your antenna rather than 8 layers of “providers”.

For oracle, yeah

- Comment on DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement 1 week ago:
So it’s closer to an ML shader than actual supersampling?

Wait, what is even the point of using an upscaling technology if it makes your game run slower than without it? Why wouldn’t I just run native res at that point? Is their only point that “it looks better” in their minds?
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 1 week ago:
Can’t say I’ve heard the term before, no. Also not something I recall experiencing, I usually close bags with a clip or elastic band and most of the time they don’t last for more than a couple of meals anyway, but I can see how that could happen if you have family-sized ones
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 1 week ago:
I have lived my whole life without seeing single wrappers or worrying about “freezer burn”. Do you mean feeling cold when you touch something that’s cold? Even when pouring a liquor that’s been in the freezer it hurts in the moment but it’s nowhere near an actual burn
- Comment on Why do a lot of frozen salmon thawing instructions say to remove the salmon from the individual wrappers before thawing? 1 week ago:
Why would something deep frozen need to be wrapped in individual plastic wraps?

Cherish your innocent eyes, the internet can be a nasty place.

Les misérables vs La bella vita 😎 /s
- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 1 week ago:
Unticking legitimate interest is a dark pattern made to waste your time. That toggle is literally pointless since it doesn’t involve consent, the only way to stop “legitimate interest” brokers is to sue them and demonstrate they do not in fact have it
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 1 week ago:
.org is administered by Identity Digital and they are obligated to comply with terror sanctions. The US is embedded at virtually every level of the internet infrastructure and with the magic weapon of “sanctions” can force almost everyone else from providing services to any entity
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 1 week ago:
Functionally equivalent most of the time, especially with some services like email even if your servers are running it doesn’t really matter if neither users nor senders can reach them.
In any case, this is not just a DNS censor, it’s the full hammer of US “terror”-based sanctions. Their bank accounts are being frozen as Italian banks must comply, they can’t get certificates, hosting contracts with most of the world, and so on. It’s bad

The difference here seems to be that they explicitly know what their “customers” are doing (e.g. terrorism/energy infrastructure sabotage) and allow/endorse that.
Congratulations, you drank the propaganda. They do not explicitly know what their customers are doing, because they believe in privacy and everything is encrypted. What they explicitly know is that their “customers” are not capitalists, racists, fascists, sexists, militarists, or authoritarians because they ask during registration. It is not the duty nor the right of a service provider to ensure how its users use their platform, contrary to what you have been told for decades to justify surveillance. It’s not a hard concept: either criminals can get privacy too, or no one can. Sure preventing terrorist attacks is something no one can oppose, but just like that you also silence every journalist, activist and whistleblower that just wants a secure service without Uncle Sam’s hands in it
- Comment on Pie in the face. 2 weeks ago:
Granted, but people were also just less afraid of putting their face to their actions and being “hunted” by the enemy
- Comment on Pie in the face. 2 weeks ago:
Yup.
What changed is not the risk, just how we perceive it. Not long ago living under fascism was literally considered a worse fate than death
- Comment on Can I do something with this? 2 weeks ago:
You might be able to use it as a SDR (software defined radio) but don’t expect a lot more than being able to pick up broadcast FM radio and maybe some ADS-B or ham, though probably not with that antenna

- Comment on Would an LLM AI model trained wholly on consenting open source projects with a license requiring all derivative works be open source licensed still be problematic? 4 weeks ago:
I keep thinking that we would be in a much better place if datasets were curated and models trained by respectable institutions like universities and foundations, I would “hate AI” a lot less and just use the LLMs that themselves have done nothing wrong.

Who came up with that sentence anyway?
- Comment on Can the permissions given to a Firefox addon be finetuned more than the GUI allows? 5 weeks ago:
Usually those required permissions are directly derived from the APIs the extension uses, so you probably could but not without losing some functionality. For example, if you completely blocked network requests uBlock itself makes it would be unable to fetch the blocklists. I think auditing the code and disabling autoupdates if you’re concerned about the dev’s trustworthiness would be a better approach, but afaik it has a spotless track record

What does this accomplish over taking it down? It does a funni? Same risk, but less effective
