- Comment on Jellyfin for iOS 1.7.0 Submitted to the App Store 3 weeks ago:
Pretty good. Downloads on the main app has been something that held people back.
- Comment on Do bots/scrapers check uncommon ports? 4 weeks ago:
Moving your port over to a nonstandard one is not a solution (unless the problem you experience is too many logs from sshd, and even then, logrotate exists), its security by obscurity which doesn’t really solve anything at all. Only way your server will be safe is by ensuring the packages on your server are up to date and that you harden it to the point where it isn’t too much of nuisance.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 4 weeks ago:
They’re also facing problems ripping books from Amazon, sadly.
- Comment on [Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup? 4 weeks ago:
It is aimed at members (often new)of private trackers, a hobby which often assumes you’ve already got a 170tb NAS at home that just needs content to fill it. This is evidenced by the fact they inherit HDBs “golden popcorn” system and tier their groups pretty high up.
- Comment on [Help] Media Server + *arr stack: Follow TRaSH guides or my own setup? 4 weeks ago:
I think TRaSH serves as a good base. Their custom filters can be instantly imported using recyclarr and give you a general idea of how custom filters are meant to be used (which can be very overwhelming when you’re new to the ordeal) but sadly I disagree with TRaSH a lot on their group tiers for media formats. I think they make some mistakes placing some encoders as high as they do. (for example: micro encodes from PTer and BHDStudio shouldn’t be in the BluRay groups at all, as some of their releases are compressed harder than WEB releases from streaming services. I download BluRay encodes because I want it to be compressed to the point where it still looks identical to the BluRay it was sourced from.) Once you’re in the game long enough you just make up your own mind on what release groups should be prioritized over others.
As for your question regarding staying within the same file system, the answer is yes. Moving things over to the SSD does two things for you. 1) for every file you also need a duplicate on the SSD, not very efficient. 2) there’s not much to gain from this unless you’re expecting a large amount of simultaneous traffic. An HDD can carry about ~20 streams of 1080p content (as most releases are compressed to 8-10mbps) which is more than enough for most households.
I’d keep the SSD for seeding honestly, so that you can build up buffer on the trackers you’re on, but for most it’s still perfectly doable with HDDs only.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 5 weeks ago:
How is this supposed to convince people to buy a console that’s already selling poorly?
- Comment on Intel says Arc GPUs will live on after Nvidia deal 5 weeks ago:
I think they’ll scrap it after two generations. Just to keep the anti trust investigations at bay.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 5 weeks ago:
I don’t have a single funko pop or Star Wars toy or whatever. I have a Keychron keyboard that cost me $70, while it is more costly than the average membrane I like mechanical ones. I never buy new if I can (usually this is a time constraint, I.e I broke my phone and I need to replace it quick one because my job relies it). I Adblock everywhere I possibly can to not see the ads but I genuinely believe I’m immune to advertising.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 5 weeks ago:
My ThinkPad x230 will soon turn 13 (since it was manufactured, I picked it up second hand from a business that went bankrupt). It’s still alive and kicking, just not with Windows. The hardware is dated, but for what I do it’s good enough. I only replaced the battery and the screen. I don’t care for instagram or any of that crap, this machine chugged along for 13 years, it will chug at least for another 5. Don’t let hardware manufacturers normalize dunking perfectly capable good hardware into a landfill because it hurts their profits. If you need any further proof just look into the old Apple hardware modding and some of the stuff they pulled off.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 1 month ago:
Will be settled out of court.
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 1 month ago:
I’d even argue the contrary. Granted, I’m not subscribed to them so I only have the free tier available but I don’t think the discovery algorithm differs between the tiers. After a while the algorithm is basically stuck in a loop repeating the same tracks over and over. It’s what made me cancel right after the free trial ended. Way better to find new music on RED’s top 10 or last.fm
- Comment on Spotify Add Lossless Audio(24-bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC) for Premium Subscribers 1 month ago:
Bluetooth protocol uses AAC to compress audio. If you use lossless audio with Bluetooth headphones it’ll sound the same because either way you’re always listening to compressed audio

Always looking for new members who love music :)
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 2 months ago:
I don’t really understand how this works. If I’m a company whose entire infrastructure is in the US (for example, I don’t know if 4chan is like that) how can I get in trouble with the UK? I don’t have a legal entity there, I’m not doing any business on their soil whatsoever, how can they enforce their laws against me?
- Comment on Microsoft employees occupy headquarters in protest of Israel contractsIt’s the biggest escalation yet of the protests at Microsoft. 2 months ago:
Very brave. Tech industry is a very tightly knit circle. If they’re known around as employees who put morals above profits they’ll find themselves not welcomed in many companies. Sad reality.
- Comment on LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think. 2 months ago:
Iirc the openXML standard was open sourced due to some anti trust stuff brewing. They then expanded on the standard with proprietary addons that give LibreOffice/Google Docs trouble.
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 2 months ago:
Technically, according to the GPLv3 you don’t need to make the source code publically available. If you sell software with binaries then their source code must be included with it. If you’re Red Hat you can also add an additional ToS to the website that states if you buy the software you can’t freely distribute the source code you download from the website or you will be sued to oblivion.

A public S3 bucket? Whoever used the app should start a class action lawsuit, this is beyond misconduct.
- Comment on Does anyone else find HiFi Rush highly overrated? 3 months ago:
Microsoft did, that’s why they canned the studio. I think game has a niche cult following but overall it sold poorly.
- Comment on The Education Crisis: How AI Is Failing Students for the Future Job Market 3 months ago:
They’re about to turn AI into a scapegoat for why kids are stupid and blame everything on it, as if before AI our education system was perfect.
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 3 months ago:
If you’re forced to live in Israel you won’t be publicly voicing your opinions if they’re against the norm. One of the worst insults is “deserter” for those that did not wish to serve and “leftist” if you go against the murder of innocent people. Sadly being one or the other means problems for you down the road when trying to find a job and generally living a life here. It’s a small country, word gets around quickly and you still have to live here if you don’t have any other citizenship.
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 3 months ago:
If I was a news agency with an agenda I wouldn’t be broadcasting the interviews that are negative either. Those you will find on foreign TV channels, 10-20 years from now after those who are currently serving finish their mandatory service and immigrate elsewhere. Every once in a while some event happens which becomes difficult to cover up. Like the Pilot Letters from 2003 and 2023, but it is the exception rather then the norm.

Sure, but you can’t be tracked via css so it’s okay in my book. Have fun with your whacky css sites.

I have no interest in power. I want wealth so that I can stop stressing out over money.
