- Comment on My Thoughts on the Zen Browser 2 days ago:
Agreed. I doubt he expected the project to be anywhere near this popular considering how many Firefox forks there are, and he’s been doing a great job keeping up with everything that popularity comes with.
- Comment on My Thoughts on the Zen Browser 2 days ago:
That comment about their security updates is a couple of months old. Zen has made significant changes to how they handle releases to stay up to date with Firefox, some of which were mentioned in the thread.
The Nix package is functional. Nixpkgs sometimes chooses not to add beta software that is receiving very frequent updates, especially if the package takes a lot of resources to build. In those cases, it makes more sense for the package to be maintained outside of Nixpkgs for the time being. NixOS users can get Zen from this Flake, which patches the official binary. COSMIC Desktop is another example of this.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
I’ve never used Findroid, but they work on my regular Jellyfin app. I think on Roku transcoding is required, but afaik that’s on Roku not supporting the subtitle format.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
I now extract all my subs, but for the first 2 years using it I left everything embedded and it always worked normally. Even with some advanced ones like Jujutsu Kaisen and One Pace, which both use stylized ones.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
Yes. You set hardware encoding to QSV, then you’re mostly set. You can choose which formats it should work on, which for an Arc card will probably be all of them. I got an Arc A380 and its worked flawlessly with many streams at once.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
Fair enough, not saying you should bother with it, just surprised to hear it happening.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
I genuinely do not understand the issues people are having with Jellyfin subtitles. I just have Bazarr set up to automatically download and they play on every device (web, android, iOS, roku, android TV) with zero issues.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
Embedded subtitles definitely work, and I’ve used bitmap ones before, although I generally avoid them so I’m not sure if they consistently work well. Directly playback also does work with those subtitles, so if you had issues it was likely related to codec support.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
They have a plenty large enough user base and have not done so. You’re literally commenting this on a post of them doing the exact opposite. The fear mongering is insane.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
Why would they offer another sync option when the Sync subscription is the one thing you make money on? You could easily just put the notes in your iCloud or any other cloud service.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
Its a directory, they were just referring to individual files.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 1 week ago:
Obsidian is very capable of handling tasks and scheduling them. That’s a solid portion of what I use it for, while also conveniently having my notes directly linked to from these tasks.

didn’t the same exact shit happen with the 4090?

any particular reason you chose emby over jellyfin?
- Comment on Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, a middleman you get to choose. That’s a huge improvement. There are plenty of trustworthy VPN providers.
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 4 weeks ago:
Hey, thanks to your suggestion I got 8 SAS drives and a PCI-e SAS expansion card, but I’ve realized there’s something I didn’t really consider. How are you powering your drives? After my upgrade, my server will contain 12 drives, which my PSU unfortunately does not provide enough ports for. Is simply upgrading it the best option?
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 1 month ago:
Apps still need mic permissions to do so. Many Android ROMs include notices when the mic is being used, it would be very easy to tell if an app was actually doing this.
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 1 month ago:
I didn’t know that case could fit that many drives! I’m a fan of Fractal Designs cases, have used and recommended them for a few gaming PCs before. Thanks for the recommendation!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 1 month ago:
I hadn’t really looked into SAS drives, but that sounds like a great option. $5/TB is awesome!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 1 month ago:
I wasn’t aware of these! I’ll need to check when I have a chance, but I’m fairly sure there’s an open slot, thanks!
- Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion 1 month ago:
That’s a great suggestion, thank you! I looked at a few cases with more drive space but didn’t see any this inexpensive.

- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 3 months ago:
Bluesky is such a huge improvement over twitter and so many people are just ignoring that. Yes, the app is centralized, but you can still host your own data if you choose. Plus, the customizable feeds, algorithms, and moderation lists are all great.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 3 months ago:
Now normal people have a microblogging platform where they aren’t constantly having fascist propaganda shoved down their throats.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 3 months ago:
Community-based platforms aren’t receiving as much attention because while Reddit is getting worse and worse, it has not reached the level of enshittification Twitter is at. Most people are still going to keep using it. Twitter on the other hand is reaching the point where huge amount of people are leaving, making alternative microblog platforms very relevant.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 3 months ago:
They aren’t being ignored. Bluesky has real moderation, they are being banned.
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 3 months ago:
A lot of the big accounts I follow have been reporting a huge loss in followers on Twitter and an even larger influx of followers on Bluesky.

Never thought to look for an extension for that. Thanks for mentioning it.
