I saw it too. It also made no sense because his fears are not addressed in any way. He lays out all these intense concerns about AI in his home and the result is literally having the AI go “oh hey don’t worry about that here’s a thing to distract you”, he takes the bait, and then it just ends.

DNS Adblocking although you’ll need special rules for your tv (each vendor varies) and it has limitations. The ad networks have known about dns Adblocking as long as it’s existed so they circumvent it. On a pc with something like ublock (especially the old manifest 3 version) you can also stop scripts used to get around this but obviously on tv that’s not an option (plus it doesn’t always work, cat and mouse game)
I’d really like the ad industry to burn and everyone who works in it to go to jail

Modern led bulbs can do both and then with home assistant you can script it so the color temperature changes through the day as the sun changes.

Lmao no they fucking won’t. I mean maybe like 0.5% of consumers, or less, will. Some number that pales in comparison to the amount that just buy a bambu because “it’s just easier, FOSS needs to get on usability and make it so that it just works 🤷♀️” while failing to see that their utter laziness and incompetence to solve even the mildest of problems and expecting everything to “just work” in exchange for money always means trading their rights and privacy away.
Look at the people that complain about jellyfin but then also complain about plex becoming increasingly hostile. Look at the people complaining about Linux but also whining about windows descent into madness. Etc etc. and in cases like this the buy in cost is nothing but your time! You think the average consumer, who openly invites corporations to fuck them, is gonna be like “hmm I’m gonna spend money to build a solution.”
No goddamn way. They’re gonna bitch about the legislation, they’re gonna bitch about how things got this way, then they’re gonna give bambu and anycubic and Microsoft and openai and Google and apple etc etc all their money. They’ll probably sign up for subscriptions with each company

On this note: if you root your webos tv there’s an app to truly disable Bluetooth, assuming you don’t use it. Imagine my surprise when one day my tv turned on with a request to allow my neighbors phone to connect to it? Modern convenience. I’m sure my neighbor just fat fingered the device list while trying to connect something else but the fact that it was even an option is absurd

People have been screaming this since right to repair, since FOSS, since Microsoft in the 90s, since stallman. Consumers consistently lose because the vast majority of people don’t give a shit and politicians that could regulate our way out of this are easily purchased.

Oh right! In admin console under server>general at the bottom there is a section called “performance”. Under this the first entry is “parallel library scan tasks limit”. Increasing this can significantly improve performance here. If it’s empty it is auto selecting. To that point if you’re running jellyfin in a docker and only allow it access to one core that would seriously limit performance here. Screenshot below, I currently have it set to 2 because I’ve done the “big” scan and I don’t need my cpu hammered when jellyfin does library scans
Additionally an issue I ran into later: under playback>transcoding enable hardware transcoding must be checked. Trickplay task was taking literal months because even though I had configured igpu transcoding correctly this has to be enabled separately. UX stuff like this is where jellyfin needs more polish; I’m sure there’s debate about this but why would this not default to on once transcoding is enabled? Who knows. Maybe just oversight.

I got one eventually in a small city for doing the same. I didn’t bother fighting it because court would’ve taken all day and it was $20, which I assume is what they bank on, but I did want to go to court to have them clarify just what exact law did I break

Interesting. I will say music is the weakest point of jellyfin db. Mine is currently good but I nuked my db for the new db style in 10.11 and created a new db, mainly bc of issues within music library. But this went back to like 10.9 and were probably from me fucking around in the db manually to try and override tags. I’ve since retagged my music as it was just the easier solution (artist ft artist got me all fucked up, I hated having 900 entries for like 1 artist who did frequent collabs)

This is the issue thread re the very long scanning after upgrading to 10.11
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 1 month ago:
I found the link
“Library scans are expected to take (way) longer in 10.11 because we are now a) properly validating all existing data and b) properly applying concurrency limits. Usually only the first scan after the upgrade takes significantly longer because it will fix some data inconsistencies we can not repair while doing the initial migrations. Any subsequent scan should be faster but if you add a lot of new files it will still take longer than before because of the concurrency limit.”
github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15070
From the thread for people with more realistic media libraries like yours (5-20tb) the initial scan is more like a few hours. However, if you’re like me and hoard shit expect it to potentially take days
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 1 month ago:
Do you have music? I don’t know this for sure but I also wonder if music collections slow things down. My music collection is pretty massive (like 40% of my storage) and it’s a shitload of files to index.
Thankfully I don’t put my books in jellyfin because my ebook/manga library is also pretty massive. If the apocalypse occurs I’m set for the 2-3 days I’d have power after the end of times
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 1 month ago:
I honestly found it much better to create a new db for 10.11 vs migrating. Both took about the same amount of time but the fresh db has no issues and the migrated db has some hiccups like you described (and some others). Main downside is you lose watch status
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 1 month ago:
10.11 first library scan will take AGES because of the new db changes or something. My library is huge (~100tb of media) and it took days. Subsequent scans are much faster, like 10-12 minutes on 10th gen Xeon (roughly i5 equivalent) for a full library scan.
- Comment on Wikipeter was the founder of the site in 1993 when he wanted to know more about model trains without having to visit the library 1 month ago:
Wikipedia has major process issues that make it unreliable especially in the long term. Editors are given a ton of power to wield, the process of giving them power is not something the laymen is involved in, once they have power it’s fairly entrenched and hard to remove, and bias absolutely occurs. For the most part the bias is tempered but it is seen more heavily in articles like Gaza, Crimea/Ukraine, Venezuela, war on terror, Autism, transgender issues, war crimes of Japan, articles related to colonalism, articles related to big tech controversies, etc.
It’s something they desperately need to address because the right wing nutjobs are gunning for them and are very well funded. They 100% are going to try to put people into the editorial process or convert people who are already there to swing bias (if this hasn’t happened already). The right wing has managed to do this with the us government, they can and will do it to Wikipedia

- Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? 1 month ago:
It’s crazy that people don’t see this is where computers are heading.
The day tech bros realized they could squeeze recurring monthly subscriptions out of you for basically increasingly banal shit the writing was on the wall. The end game is that you have a chromebook with 800 subscriptions to streaming services for your os, music, movies, tv, games, image editing software, music DAWs, plugins for both the aforementioned softwares, subscriptions for hardware associated with the software (eg drawing tablets or midi keyboards), etc but covering every niche you can possibly think of and not just graphic art and music.
And when you bitch about it tech bros and weird alphas and young zoomers who were raised on this ecosystem and indoctrinated by it will go “well you see it’s fair because updates cost money to develop” as if the old system of expecting bug fixes and security patches to be free but not necessarily feature updates was unfair. Like if I buy a car and it’s fucked up I expect it to be fixed for free but I don’t expect them to feature match the next model year.
Tech workers are disproportionately high paid and so whiney when they have to provide even a modicum of support because then they have to potentially cut into that disproportionate high pay. Like “oh no i make 80-150,000+ a year but if i support this I’ll have to work more without generating sales and will maybe only make 60-130,000+. The horror!” fuck those libertarian shitstains that are literally overthrowing an entire government (and possibly more) with technofacism so that they can justify their “I know python, I should be able to earn as much as I want, fuck ethics, I never emotionally matured past 16” bullshit

They get high on the propellant (usually difluoroethane), basically, enhanced by hypoxia
Nitrous oxide (“whippits”) is a whole other thing that is very much a grey market drug dealer “this should probably just explicitly be legal at this point because the hoops people jump through are kind of silly”. Like if you’re into cooking nitrous oxide chargers are a valid thing to own for making whipped cream and such so headshops often stock huge tanks under the guise of “for culinary use only”, just like how people only use bongs for tobacco, right

It’s like one of those Chinese artisan teapot makers that’s 70 years old. When you watch a video of them making a teapot it looks so simple and elegant but you know that ability to make such deliberate and precise action comes from basically making 100 teapots a day for 50+ years. Then you see that laminar flow and the intricate detailing and you’re like oh my god I want that and you search it up and find out a proper one from someone like that is like $400 so you stick with your electric kettle that was $17.99.
He’s like the shitty banal grandma comedy version of that

Just out of curiosity I tried downloading the Netflix app and while that does work I couldn’t be bothered to make a trial account as it appears I need to give them a host of info including cc.
Looking online in kodi forums it appears the issue you describe is correct and ugoos lost Netflix certification though a newer option, the kinhank g1 may retain Netflix certification and still provide profile 7 FEL dv playback.
This is why I don’t support Netflix and instead keep media in jellyfin. Dolby/dts and even hdmi are fucking awful but I can at least work around them and ensure my hardware is in a working state. As long as I ensure new hardware and software additions will work I’ll be okay because worst case scenario I can just freeze things as they are and kick myself for adopting an lg oled or whatever. Netflix/hulu/disney/etc control of my content library? No way, it’s constantly at their whim. Revoke a license for perfectly capable machine because fuck you that’s why

op straight up said that one bud but yes imperialism has a lot of murderers walking among us. Some of your zionist friends may have committed war crimes during their time in israel only to come back to home to 0 consequences and to be a fucking sociopath that, I dunno, goes on tinder dates without dropping the bomb that they sniped children that posed 0 threat because they’re fucking inhuman monsters
- Comment on You've probably met someone who has killed a person 2 months ago:
If you’re old enough you’ve definitely met someone who has done at least one murder. The question is intent as you’ve said: did you meet the drunk driver or the serial killer with 50 bodies in the basement who hasn’t been caught.
Also this applies to rape and that is far more common because it is simply less reported. One of your buddies might be a person that has straight up forced a person to have sex, maybe violently
