Wait … only for cooking shows? That’s oddly specific.

I’m not misinterpreting it, I just made an absurd example to show how ridiculous it was.
a most of the shops I buy from do not run ads.
I doubt that. You’re just not aware of them.

Well, that’s hope for your sake that one corner shop where you’re still allowed to buy food never hires a 5th employee …

You’re boycotting every single company? Because even the village tailor will occasionally put an ad in the local newspaper.

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
What do you need OAuth for? Also I never really used the live TV thing, I pretty much exclusively stream from my or other people’s libraries.
As long as they don’t mess with the lifetime pass and start charging me or my friends for accessing my library, I really have no quarrels with Plex.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
Of the 25 million users of Plex, how many do you think have the setup (either the ability or availability) that supports direct playback remotely?
I think of those that use remote streaming at all, the vast majority. All it takes is to forward one port in the router.
Of the 8 plex servers I have access to, all have direct streaming. And mine as well, of course.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
Even if just 10% of that is active at any given moment, streaming at 10Mbps… that’s 25 MILLION megabits per sec.
Streaming traffic doesn’t usually go through Plex’s server, though. That only happens with “indirect streams”, which usually means something is wrong with your connection and they are capped at like 2 mbps.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 2 weeks ago:
Rumor says that Plex also denies you remote access when you use a VPN or mesh like tailscale… so ymmv
Never had any issues remote streaming via VPN.

I don’t find this infuriating at all. Who cares what happens on reddit?

Primarily for torrenting, secondarily for getting around geo-blocking.

How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.
I guess I don’t get them because I’m logged in with my google account?
Cloud flare is more annoying, but I usually just get the checkboxes, rarely do I have to select busses/bikes/trafficlights etc.

My VPN is on 100% of the time. The only thing I can confirm is that reddit sometimes blocks my VPN (guess there IP list isn’t quite complete), but in that case I just use a libreddit frontend (should do that anyway).
Downloading games from GOG is capped at like 0.5Mbps.
Are you using a free one? I at least get 500 mbps download through my vpn, usually more.

But that’s not a thing I want running 24/7, let alone just to browse lemmy.
Why not?

but I like thinking that Batman is a Linux user. specify Arch
Nope, we can rule that out. Otherwise Batman would have told us about it by now.
- Comment on It's always about dat math 2 weeks ago:
Maybe not ‘fixing’ a problem, but they certainly vastly improved on the service aspect of food delivery. Which is the aspect I care about.
Buy from places that have their own delivery service
Figuring out which local restaurant does and doesn’t currently deliver (which would change on a daily basis) was one of the main problems. Restaurant can still have their own delivery drivers but having a central place to look up who is currently (in-real time) delivering and what is a big improvement. Not going back from that.
Actually walk or drive or public transport to the restaurant and eat out
Brilliant. You can also cut down on commute/travel time and cost by just staying home. Or fix your depression by stop being sad! Big brain.

Never seen one of those. All the electric kettles I’ve ever seen just turn off once the water is boiling.
