It is and I wouldn’t use it. Librewolf for primary use and Waterfox for less rigid browsing seems to work okay for me. FF (w/UBO) for a third opinion if needed.

- Comment on Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement? 1 week ago:
I tried making a “new film” filter to list higher rated films with sufficient votes. Then I created a normal “new” filter just to add titles to as a seperate test. One I linked with Trakt and the other I didn’t b/c I wasn’t sure at the time where I would scrape with radarr. And I also created a list from one in the community. Partly to see if I could point radarr to it (don’t think you can), and also I could just manually peruse and add titles myself. I am sure I’ve pointed to one of my lists, but am not in front of my server atm to check again.
I’m a tech guy, but every so often I run into some tech that is very foreign to my mind and it tough to latch onto. The mdblist site does that to me. Getting older too, so I am sure I am losing mental elasticity. Anyways, I thank you for replying and any help you might offer. Cheers!

“That dress does not make your ass look any different than it already is.”
You’d think a non-commital blank statement like that should work. It does not. One then must explain themselves. Night out: ruint.
- Comment on Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement? 1 week ago:
I am struggling with this aspect. I have a list there (they call them “filters” and I struggled with that too, lol), but it (radarr) does not seem to detect the new titles I put in it my list. I am sooo close. The mdblist site is difficult for me to parse (UI and nomenclature) and I get frustrated whenever I try and fix it. So, I still just jot the title down on a scrap of paper and feel like a caveman. [shrug]

- Comment on Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ 3 weeks ago:
In my younger days, I worked for U-Haul. They had these preloaded speeches you were supposed to adhere to when someone called. I am sure they felt it maximized sales. One for trailer/truck rental, another for storage, etc. I never liked acting as a robot, so I free-formed the calls (I’m a people person!). I was/and am quite customer focused, so I was good at answering the phone. Up until I got fired for not following the canned company diatribe. They had a call center dedicated to calling around the country to test employees. I failed twice.
- Comment on Administrative task management 3 weeks ago:
At a former job many years ago, we had an employee get super mad at his PC. He left and returned a short time later with a revolver that he unloaded on said PC. All six shots missed the critical components and it was still running despite the new cooling. Cops hauled him away whilst still frothing at the mouth about his PC.

The scavenging is making it more difficult looking for a SFF PC on fleaBay. More and more listings say “no RAM/no SSD” and the ones that have it are barebones or far more expensive. Even laptops are heading that way. Yuck.

Careful the next time the opportunity presents itself. The previous experience has little bearing on the next as you have no idea of the efficacy of the random edible.

There was also an investigative reporter driving a Mercedes who died in an odd accident in SoCal in and around then. It was suspicious, but swept away quickly in the news. I remember believing that he was murdered.

Shovel AK is still a thing, but this is not about guns. That is just the cloak of fear (ie - protect the children!) for legislating away your right to own things. Corpos are pissed you can make and/or repair the things they’d rather you buy again.

I think even with Librewolf you need to open the about:config page and disable browser.ml settings.

A word of caution: If you use bitlocker (copy your keys!), it can have hooks in the TPM/bios settings.
Disable bitlocker prior to attempting a live boot.
It will lock your disk if you don’t prepare for it.

Evidence of what exactly? Was a crime previously committed? Was it the officer’s “instincts” that told them so? This is the fun part of authoritarianism, there may have been zero evidence deleted (we don’t know), but now the act of wiping it creates a crime they can charge someone with. Bake him away, toys!
