Not OP, but I have similar feelings and they have nothing to do with the client or plugins. If I can’t easily and securely share my Jellyfin with the Internet beyond my LAN without resorting to a VPN, then Jellyfish is not going to come close to replacing Plex. Sharing my library securely with tech illiterate family and any browser I have access to, without modification, was the one and only reason I moved away from XBMC/Kodi and installed Plex in the first place. Jellyfin is fine inside my LAN and for my personal use, totally fails at hosting.

They’re admitting how dull they are.

Don’t worry. Time is a flat circle. What is old, is new again. Smart glasses will get smaller and more discreet packages and the kids will forget the original chunky look that meant “potential invasion of privacy”. I like what I like and I’m content to remain true to that until the merry-go-round of fashion comes back around again. Sometimes I may hop on a new trend and take the ride a bit, but it’s always my choice. Nostalgia is often used as a derogatory term by trendy/edgy people to feel superior about picking some style that is new to them. That fashion is almost always someone else’s “nostalgia”. Fashion is all just picking and choosing which spot on the nostalgia merry-go-round feels right for us in this moment.

It’s never to late to relearn a suboptimal skill you thought you knew. I believe I found this site several decades after being taught the standard shoe lace knot and a child. That one ALWAYS needed a second knot to keep my laces tied. Now I tie either the two loop knot “bunny ears” or Ian’s Secure Shoelace knot. Both are balanced so the knots always stays tied and both can be pulled apart and undone with a simple tug at both free ends of the shoelace. Haven’t tied my laces the way my parents taught me ever since.

FTFY: I have pan in both my legs.

That’s just a taxi company with extra steps, extra wage theft, and fewer worker protections.

More like by design for an LTS release.

Clearly you’ve never listened to mathematicians talk about infinities. Things get weird when you try to develop concepts around the inconceivably large and small. If infinity is a thought terminating cliche from your perspective, my suggestion would be to change your perspective.

I’d like to see ideas like this make a comeback, hopefully with some modifications this time around to protect our privacy and resist corporate exploitation.

We used to use del.icio.us and other variants to do exactly this before browsers had profiles. Back then, its primary draw was that you could take your bookmarks with you anywhere to any machine (this being before that function was baked into browsers and before web browsers could be carried in your pocket). The secondary effect was that you’d share and tag those websites with your own categories/descriptors, thus crowdsourcing a new version of the old web’s link directories using Web 2.0. You could browse through symantic tag clouds to discover new things. Del.icio.us was for websites, but people were tagging and logging all of their favorite stuff and sharing it online so that like minded strangers could filled the gaps in their cultural awareness. We tagged our books with librarything. We tagged recipes with recipe thing. Audioscrobbler (later known as last.fm) logged our music listening to automate the tagging, not by direct symantic tagging, but by relational/temporal coincidence. If other people that listened to a lot of the stuff you listened to and they also listened to some other stuff you didn’t, those became recommendations for you. That kind of relational algorithm would survive the slow death of Web2.0 to become the backbone of recommendation services like Spotify and probably even TikTok.

You’ve re-invented fried rice.

My go to trick was to cook my oatmeal in a pot with a lid so that I could steam a whole egg along with it. Just have to watch that it didn’t boil so hard as to boil over. If you’ve got the 5 minute version of oatmeal, you’ll have a soft boiled egg at the end, which I’d peal and toss back on top of the oatmeal after mixing in the other stuff I liked such and brown sugar, milk, raisins, and walnuts. It was a meal guaranteed to keep me full until a late lunch.

Ever really destroyed your server because the it needed were available? I have. It was so much worse than a boot process that froze.

If Systemd was pausing due to a network share being down, it’s only because I (or you) told it to do exactly that. There are lots of good reasons to delay the boot process until all drives the system expects to be there are actually there or the network is up. Cleaning up the mess that happens when the system does not check these kinds of things at boot is so much worse. It’s never really some nebulous thing. Like it or not, intentional or not, the machine is doing exactly what you asked it to do and a delayed boot or a boot halted until you can solve the real problem is almost always better (or at least safer) than the alternatives. I’ve experienced all the things you’ve mentioned, dealt with each of those issues, and it was so much more of a hassle to diagnose before Systemd.

I was thinking maybe an old Spanish Land Grant or something maybe. But, that doesn’t seem to be the case. That block is orientated north, while the surrounding blocks are oriented parallel with the coast, just east (right) of the crop. So then, I thought that maybe it was one weird plat of lot and the city grew around it. Nope. The thing is, you can look up all the plats (thanks to Florida’s sunshine laws) back to the original bureau of land management surveys (thanks to the BLM & labins.org).There aren’t even that many. This neighborhood has been like this from it’s beginning as far as I can tell. Around 1911 the whole town, then called Pablo Beach, was platted. And right there in the middle is this weird block, seemingly by design and without explanation. It was replatted in 1922, keeping the twisted block intact. It’s been residential neighborhood and largely unchanged since then (at least as far as the parcels and streets are concerned).

I fully agree. Crisps/chips are also great with chopsticks, no more flavor fingers.

But this is probably more an unpopular opinion in the west than a shower thought. It shouldn’t be unpopular, but just look at the other comments. Clearly not a lot of chopstick users. And I kind of doubt anyone that claims a salad can or should be shovelled.

You shouldn’t be shoveling a salad unless it’s potato or macaroni salad. Maybe your thinking of coleslaw? Leafy green salads are nearly impossible to shovel with a fork unless you mince the ingredients into unrecognizably tiny bits, aka a slaw. With very little practice, eating with chopsticks isn’t much different than eating with your fingers. In fact, there’s a few things I can do with chopsticks that I could never easily do with my fingers or a fork.

You can absolutely shovel with chopsticks. It may take a little extra dexterity, but is far from impossible. It’s really only harder if you haven’t much practice with chopsticks. Besides, shoveling anything with a fork is kind of a disaster when you throw leafy greens into the mix.

That’s not how I eat a salad with chopsticks. No stabbing, no shoveling; at the dinner table that is bad etiquette. It’s more like “grabbing” a clump of lettuce and toppings mixed together with a couple “fingers”, except your “fingers” are chopsticks. Most of the small bits stick to the leafy greens or are inherently wrapped up in them. I find picking those few remaining tiny bits out of the bottom of a bowl is actually easier with chopsticks than trying to shovel them on to a fork.

Good news! Eating things like salad, chips/crisps, fried rice, noodle dishes, ramen, etc. is a great way to get good with chopsticks.

There’s a lot to unpack there bud. You don’t sound okay. None of that was in the comic, you brought all that baggage.

You’ve just traded down votes for the report button.

I say they are two different use cases. There is often a very wide gulf between a comment that I feel does not contribute to good discussion and one that is so heinous that it needs to be removed. Most of your comments for instance: pretty naive and banal adding little good to the discussion overall, but I don’t feel that you’ve said anything hateful, obscene, or aggressive enough to warrant total removal. Usually I just downvote and move on, especially when I don’t want to hear that person’s bad take reply on my own point of view. I’ve made an exception here for you simply because you are trolling all over this thread, seemingly inviting downvotes. But, I’m going to block you and move on because you’ve killed any interest I have in this thread or the larger discussion. I still don’t think your comments rise to the level of reporting.

Reports and blocks aren’t a replacement for downvotes and if your instances doesn’t federate downvotes you shouldn’t use them that way.
