- Comment on Is this accurate, Canadians? 2 days ago:
Try not to judge us too hard for this. We kicked Kate out for a reason (lighting up a fat joint in an elementary school classroom isn’t cool here). She’s got the rest right on, though.

- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 5 weeks ago:
To be fair, food is their #1 priority for most of their life. Also, Potato is a great name for a dog (especially a rotund one).

- Comment on Why is Minecraft able to be forced to put restrictions on online servers, but web browsers aren't held accountable for providing access to the web? 5 weeks ago:
In reality, it’s likely that it’s because Minecraft is largely targeted to kids. The primary presented idea of Minecraft is a game that is appropriate for kids. Web browsers don’t make the same kind of presentation–their purpose is to render websites, but don’t otherwise promise anything regarding the content viewed.
It would be a bit similar to a department store that stocked knives in the kids’ toy section. Selling knives isn’t really problematic, it’s where they’re located and the implied intent of that section.

There are some aspects that aren’t skill-based though. Anyone can do it, but some people thrive in that environment, while others have a more difficult time, just like any other job.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 month ago:
Oh, I also have some commands documented for normalizing audio and removing unneeded audio/subtitle tracks.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 month ago:
The Jellyfin Documentation has info on setting it up and installing it. I have it running on an odroid hc4, but pretty much anything with enough storage will be fine (an old laptop laying around is a great way to experiment with server stuff).
I don’t have much in terms of automation–I have a script that syncs local files with my server. What else did you have in mind?

To be fair, some people aren’t great at being a homemaker–it’s a particular passion and skill set and it’s not for everyone. But blindly drawing that distinction on gender lines is definitely a boomer thing.
Had an older guy at work who had four kids, and when it came up in conversation, he proudly noted that he had never changed a diaper. Told him that I’d be mortified to admit I was such a useless dad.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 month ago:
I can’t say how many people are trying to make money on it, but there are plenty of folks running Plex or Jellyfin servers that they’ll allow friends and family to access. And I would estimate that a fairly low percentage of those have no pirated content on them. So even for the small-group servers, discussions of piracy are often relevant.
I do run a Jellyfin server, but only locally on my own network.

- Comment on Yeah it was a ritual 1 month ago:
Ah, the old rituals. I remember summoning the powers of the dark gods Napster and Limewire as part of the rites.
Though I am old enough to remember the more ancient cassette magics. Those required precise mixing rather than burning, and were much more archaic, sometimes involving transcribing messages from the very ether.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 1 month ago:
Haven’t used Windows for anything at home for years now. Even convinced my wife to switch her laptop to Mint when she got fed up. It’s been nice.

If I can’t see the floor through them, I’ll keep wearing them.

To be fair, using OneDrive is like using paper that can spontaneously combust at any moment.
