I’ve gone back to Blu-Ray for some things because I no longer trust streaming sites to keep them available.

^&@% Private equity again…
Political organizing is a great example of something that shouldn’t be owned by this kind of firm.
(Followed by every other kind of organization. The concept of treating “business” as a set of interchangeable parts that move money in and out of opaque boxes and not actually focusing on what they do and why is massively broken IMO)
- Comment on The Google Pixel 8 is official with 7 years of updates 1 year ago:
OK, I like the comment here wondering about the thermometer’s range: “things with an interesting temperature are generally uncomfortable to hold your hand next to. I’m sure there will be at least one support call because someone tries to measure fire from 1 inch away.”
- Comment on Do any of you use Raspberry Pi’s ? 1 year ago:
I have a single Raspberry Pi 3b as a local file/media server running Jellyfin. I’m also running BOINC and seeding torrents of various Linux distributions. External HDD for storage, plus a thumb drive for the local media and another for the torrents so it only has to spin up when someone’s actually using it.
It’s not super-fast by any means, but it’s fast enough to listen to music over my LAN, which is the main thing I need it to do quickly. Though eventually I plan on setting up a better NAS on something with faster I/O.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will soon come with ads, or a $2.99 monthly charge to dodge them 1 year ago:
So the $140/year subscription they’re already collecting isn’t enough for them?
I guess this is as good a reminder as any to look at what I’m actually using Prime for these days.

- Comment on Is there an alternative "lite" web front-end for Nextcloud? 1 year ago:
If I was only using it for file sync, maybe. Though as it happens, the Linux desktop file sync client works fine on here, and I can work on files locally.
But that doesn’t help for things like, say, account settings, or tasks, or getting the right caldav URL to be able to plug it into a local client.
- Comment on Is there an alternative "lite" web front-end for Nextcloud? 1 year ago:
I’m using it for multiple services, not just one, and while some have apps available, not all do, and some features aren’t supported in the corresponding app.
- Comment on Is there an alternative "lite" web front-end for Nextcloud? 1 year ago:
I’m using Nextcloud for a lot more than just file sharing. Calendar, contacts, tasks, RSS reader sync, etc.

- Comment on What do you prefer for a self hosted calendar? 1 year ago:
Same. Thunderbird now has native support for CalDAV and I use DAVx5 to sync it with my Android devices.

I’ve been using it for a while now. Currently on the “main” instance, cross-posting reviews to my website.
- Comment on [The Conversation] - First contact with aliens could end in colonization and genocide if we don’t learn from history 1 year ago:
To be fair, science fiction has been trying to tell us this since HG Wells.
