- Comment on Gmail Is Now Using AI to Sort 'More Relevant' Results, But You Can Turn It Off 4 weeks ago:
Came here to say this, Gmail search has been basically broken for me for years. The preview suggestions when typing in a search query have been more accurate for me than the actual search.
I have a couple of old emails from 2020 that always appear in search results no matter what I search for.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 month ago:
Hmm sorry not sure why it would be complaining about an invalid path. Is it all paths that are invalid, or just the ones to your media?

I don’t think you should be getting downvotes for having an opinion and I appreciate your reply.
However I do love a good debate - what’s the advantages for you for installing apps on “bare metal” (I’m assuming you mean a base OS install rather than actual bare metal). What about virtualisation?

I’m also on emby and it works well for me. My main grievance is setting up a new device is a chore, “emby connect” is far too clunky to use so I end up configuring via URL every time - and on some devices that’s a real chore.

What’s wrong with docker?

Let’s not rewrite history, 20 years ago desktop Linux was an absolute shit show.

I use uptime kuma to check my certificate isn’t going to expire.
Also tells me if any of my services are down.

Yup I also use ntfy and it’s brilliant, easy to send notification events to it from almost anything and the android app is very responsive.

Another vote for restic, best backup software I’ve ever used.

There’s the nanokvm, similar idea but cheaper. I have one and it’s okay but a bit sore, I’m hoping the jet is faster
- Comment on KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK 4 months ago:
KFC’s reasoning is that the chicken supply industry hasn’t transitioned to more humanitarian chickens yet, but frustratingly the article doesn’t validate this claim.
It KFC is correct and they’re reliant on an industry that hasn’t got the supply it needs, then it’s impossible for them to meet the targets they set and it makes sense they would have to walk back the pledge.
However if the industry does have that supply, then KFC is full of shit.
So which is it?

It’s not a joke.
- Comment on What Ever Happened to MSN Messenger? 5 months ago:
People blame Google for the death of jabber because of one blog post from a disgruntled contributor but the truth is jabber was never popular and Google chat died as well.
Jabber was a mess, most of the clients were barely compatible with Each other and it was a wild west of feature support. Some clients were well featured with the ability to send richer messages, but typically only worked with a specific server and the same clients. Jabber did a crap job at making sure clients and servers interacted properly with each other and didn’t push the standards quickly enough, forcing clients to do their own thing.
Which is all Google did, they went their own way because nobody used jabber and the interoperability was causing more harm than good. It didn’t work, Google talk died and many years later clients like WhatsApp took over instead.
- Comment on Steven Spielberg is ‘a big PC Gamer’ — loves shooters, and insists on keyboard and mouse 6 months ago:
Yup I’m with you here. I love KBM and it’s my preferred way to play for most games, but when it comes to driving I’d much prefer a controller with analogue triggers and a stick (unless it’s a sim racer, in which case a wheel of course) for that extra precision.
Unfortunately I can’t think of a good design to give that level of control to just one hand. Analogue keys are a thing but they sound awful, nowhere near enough precision due to the short travel of them.
