- Comment on Forgejo v13.0 is available 1 week ago:
Since I just saw this in the self hosted weekly post:
Seems like there is a bug and one should use 13.0.1

- Comment on Phones may come without bundled USB cables in the future, if OEMs have their way 2 weeks ago:
My main point was that you pay for it regardless. All the things you list i can also do with a cable i simply purchase seperately. But the difference here is that i can either choose not to buy one, if i don’t need it. Or purchase a specific one e.g. a very long one, if i prefer that over the standard short one.
I doubt most manufacturers would lower the price when stopping to include them, but they might delay raising it for a while. In any case i think the economic mechanism (at least in an idealistic setting) is logical.
I don’t think it would logistically make sense to have versions with and without accessories included, since that instantly doubles the version count. But most if not all places that sell phones also sell cables/chargers. So in that way the choice already exists.
That said i think this line of thinking mostly works because we have standardized on USB-C for quite a while now, so the assumption that most people already have access to a cable is valid. This would be different if they’d require specific cables like e.g. my garmin watch does, which you wouldn’t normally have and that you’d likely purchase from the same manufacturer. In that case seperating them might have the opposite effect in making the price to consumers less transparent.
Also i could get behind the idea that not including something like a cable would require a prominent warning lable that “a cable or wireless charger (if applicable)” is required for longterm use.

It gives you and the users of your jellyfin instance a nice UI dashboard to search and request movies/series. The requests then get handed off to radarr/sonarr for downloading via your downloader (e.g. Sabnzb)
Instead of having to go into the less polished sonarr/radarr that would also expose some settings that you might not want other users to change, you get a nice dashboard. Similar to how you’d browse on a streaming site.
It shows you currently popular movies/shows and upcoming highly anticipated ones, you can search for a specific movie and when you click on it you get a helpful site. It displays all kinds of info similar to jellyfin, like cast, tags, relevant other movies, links to sites like rotten tomatoes or letterboxd, and so on. You can also search for persons and it’ll show you what they’ve been in/have produced. And when you want something you can easily request a download in your preferred quality setting.
You also may limit what and how requests from different users are handled.

But wouldn’t it be equally valid to frame it the other way around that so far we have paid for them to be included, whether we like it or not?
I mean the price to manufacture them doesn’t change and companies werent charities before either.
Feels like in a functioning market this should just sort itself out. At least if it is transparent whether the phone includes accessories or not. People could factor this into their pricing decision.
The more interesting argument imo is the one another comment in this thread made, that this way muss matches between phone and charger/cable capabilities might happen. Which seems like a double edged sword. One the one hand manufacturers can advertise great charging speeds and people might not realize that only expensive chargers might be able to achieve those. On the other hand as the comment points out customers might not get the expected performance leading to frustration and negative associations with the particular brand.
- Comment on Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social web 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, imo they wouldn’t even need to get off Twitter and other platforms completely. Just make their own mastodon instance (or something similar that they control themselves) the primary source of truth and place of interaction. They could still link and reference it on other platforms to increase visibility, but make sure that all primary information is in a freely accessible place and not beholden to unreliable entities.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 5 weeks ago:
Or an established player in the market that wants to keep competitors out (but I guess in a way that is someone who dislikes change). While legislation like this can sometimes be great (e.g. the recent changes forcing longer support for mobile phones) there comes a point where it cuts the other way and it becomes an entry barrier.
Imo the better solution would be to legislate what happens after support ends. Like forcing the disclosure of at least some documentation that allows others to continue servicing the product or at least transfer out data and install other software on the device.
- Comment on Someone finally made a "Sonarr for YouTube" 5 weeks ago:
Just set this up a few days ago and so far am very happy. Ended up choosing it over other options since I wanted something that saves the downloads in a humanly accessible way by simply putting them into channel folders with the video names as title.
- Comment on Someone finally made a "Sonarr for YouTube" 5 weeks ago:
If you want to setup a stack take a look up TRaSH guides. Then it goes roughly like this.
You have software that search and make the download requests: radarr (movies), sonarr (TV shows), lidarr (music), bazaar (subtitles, if you need to add more that don’t already come with the movie/show). But there might be others e.g. for porn or like here for YouTube.
Those forward the request to a downloader like Sabnzb if you are using usenet or qbirtorrent for torrents.
Those above are the main ones and from there you can add things that make your life easier:
-
Prowlarr: sonarr/radar need an indexer to search, instead of configuring them in each software this allows you to do it once and then sync across the other apps
-
Overseerr/Jellyseerr: if you want a nicer frontend to search and make download requests instead of doing so in radar/sonarr.
-
Recycler/Notifier/Configarr (all do roughly the same): sonarr/radarr allow you to configure specific profiles to score the quality of downloads so you can get them in the format you desire (e.g. so you want 1080p or 4k, HDR yes or no). These allow you to sync custom formats with sonarr/radarr that others like trash-guides have developed.
-
Tdarr: if you would like to reencode and compress movies to save space this allows you to do so in an automated way. Although you usually I’d imagine it might be easier to just setup a better profile in sonarr/radarr and download the desired version (should you e.g. want x265 encoded versions)

Maybe a mini PC with a N100 might be worth a look? Especially when factoring in running costs over it’s lifetime
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 2 months ago:
As always with debates on the internet nuances get lost and things get painted more black and white.
And they still deserve credit for having invented the concept and designed the bulk of the bricks.
No idea if the other comment that they stole it is true, but looking at the wealth of the owner family I’d say they got more than enough credit. They are set for many generations to come. At some point ideas have to become common good for others to also build upon.
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 2 months ago:
Lego as a brand does imo substantially benefit from positive associations such as heritage, sentimentality, and other positive attributes. Otherwise how would they be able to demand such premium prices.
So I would see it less as them being “dinged” for this action, but them losing some of those privileges.
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 2 months ago:
Imo the title falsely implies that Lego not being a US company means they are completely independent and unaffected by US actions.
Lego presumably does substantial business in the US and thus is beholden to US jurisdiction and the whims of Trump to some degree. Them dropping diversity and inclusion from their reports just shows their priorities. However on that note Lego still being family owned lets us pin this decision more squarely on some particular individuals, rather than the usual vague mass of shareholders.

You and all the companies training their AI models, like Meta for example.
- Comment on What are the differences between 1) probabillities, 2) possibillities, and 3) plausabillities? 3 months ago:
My understanding would be:
-
Probabilities: Chance of a certain outcome happening. E.g. Outcome A has a 70% chance B a 20% and C 10%
-
Possibilities: what outcome scenarios exist. E.g. there exist 3 (A B C).
-
Plausibility: looks at the degree of truth of a statement. So if it logically makes sense and is the correct answer/is what happened.
