Don’t worry. With SCOTUS overturning Chevron this won’t stick. /s (in case it’s not obvious)

I noped out as soon as I read that line.

Jellyfin is great!
- Comment on Raspberry Pis get a built-in remote access tool: Raspberry Pi Connect 1 month ago:
That’s exactly what I thought.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 1 month ago:
I’m not bashing your opinion, if you don’t mind it that’s cool.
I do mind it. I cancelled prime years ago already because two day shipping somehow was never two day, so I’ll never see one of these pause ads.
That being said, I mind the idea of it a lot because I often pause to see something on the screen. Be it a text message in a show or something else written/printed, the cinematography, the lighting, the outfits, etc…. Fuck if I ever want an ad thrown up blocking the actual content I want to inspect in more detail.

Oh dang. How fun. I never even considered theatrically making my machines! Mine are super mundane.
machine - main server osmc - Kodi media box for tv kmac - old iMac running kde neon tunnelpi - raspberry pi 4 wireguard tunnel access point mini- Mac mini my wife uses for day to day use.
Now I’m going to have to find a theme and start renaming machines!

- Comment on Self hosted remote storage for VPS? 2 months ago:
Also been thinking about doing something like this. Would love to hear about your experience deploying it.
- Comment on Apple Removes WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram, and Signal from China App Store, says it complied with orders from the Chinese government 2 months ago:
Privacy. That’s iPhone.
Unless the government says otherwise. Because really we don’t give a fuck about you or your privacy.
- Comment on NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden 2 months ago:
My immediate reaction was the same. I don’t trust the NSA at all, but I’m certainly not going to trust anything this site says when it’s shilling the article as an NFT.
- Comment on Roku has patented a way to show ads over anything you plug into your TV 2 months ago:
Sadly, Firefox + ublock is becoming unreliable. I routinely can’t play YouTube videos on my desktop computer with that setup (+ a vpn) because google just won’t serve them. I just get perpetual loading screens.
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 2 months ago:
First, fuck Roku. This is exactly why my roku tv is not connected to the internet and never will be. My kodi box handles my entertainment needs.
- Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads 2 months ago:
It’s not specifically anti-ad, but the lemmy privacy community regularly discusses ad-blocking as it very much overlaps with privacy.

Yes!
- Comment on acceptable screws 2 months ago:
Nah. Fuck the slotted screw. I hate that piece of shit screw. Phillips is acceptable. Six lobe is my preferred.
- Comment on Firefox Partners with Qwant for a Better Web(?) 2 months ago:
I know nothing about Qwant. I do have to say ima kinda surprised to see Mozilla posting this. Being as the google search deal is Mozilla’s #1 revenue source.
I’m not mad that they’re bringing awareness to the ability to change the search engine, regardless of the merits of Qwant. Just a little surprised that their kinda openly thumbing their nose at Google.
- Comment on Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed 3 months ago:
Obviously not, but the behavior already shows that Meta/Threads isn’t interested in being a good fediverse citizen, and in doing so lends more credibility to the idea that they’re aiming to embrace, extend, and extinguish.

Also switched from homarr to homepage and have been happy with homepage.
- Comment on Preferred E-Book Library Server Software? 3 months ago:
FWIW, I was also looking for an ebook server solution. I looked at Calibre/Calibre-web and did not at all like how that worked and how Calibre-web was dependent on the Calibre library, and I hated how janky Calibre was as a docker container.
I settled on Audiobookshelf. I already had that up and running for my audiobooks, and they’ve been adding and improving ebook support, and I’ve been very happy with Audiobookshelf for both ebooks and audiobooks.
I didn’t care for Kavita because of the folder structure it required for ebooks. I may have been biased against Kavita’s folder requirements because I already had Audiobookshelf up and running.
For Audiobookshelf, the structure is:
Author > Series Directory (if applicable) > Book Title (directory) > Book file
- Comment on Preferred E-Book Library Server Software? 3 months ago:
I had the same question awhile back and found no alternative to Calibre with the de-drm (I’m on macOS). So I do the same. Download my ebooks from amazon, de-drm with calibre and upload to my server.
- Comment on YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google 3 months ago:
I noticed this a few days ago or so and I was delighted by it. I never sign in to YouTube and hated the garbage recommendations on the homepage.

Yup. Was waiting for the shoe to drop. Fuckers.
- Comment on Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11 subsystem in 2025 3 months ago:
Could be because, iirc, Amazon is starting to move away from Android.
