• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just say the word⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  I’m not certain that fish is licensed to perform bottom surgery

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah it was a ritual⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  It’s not strictly a platformer, but if you’re also into puzzle games, check out Islands of Insight. It’s super chill, and some of the challenges are platforming/timing based.
