- Comment on YouTube will use Gemini to insert ads around the parts of a video you care about most 1 hour ago:
Isn’t it a bit weird since they already have the technology to see which parts you care about most.
Why do they need to use Gemini instead of just basic data analysis to see where viewership drops at the end of a peak part and insert the ad there?
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 18 hours ago:
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there’s also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet…).
Though I don’t think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).

Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that’s USD. That’s a decent amount more than Disney+, right?

Is this not awesome?

Ok thanks, I’ll have to be extra careful deploying any changes.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 4 days ago:
Thanks! I did see there’s a docker format and a podman format which I assume is what this difference is about. I’m not against discord but I’ve never really used it. I’ll check it out if I get desperate 🙂
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 5 days ago:
I seem to have got it working using podman, adding a Z flag to the bind mount to make SELinux happy.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 5 days ago:
Oh shit I think that’s it! I’ve added that Z flag to each bind mount declaration in compose.yaml, and it seems to be running properly now. Thanks!
Any idea what the implications are of this transferring to an ubuntu based distro?
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 5 days ago:
As far as I can tell, you just run the command with sudo to run as root? But this doesn’t help, I have been using sudo.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 5 days ago:
I’m already using bind mounts under the /home directory. I learnt pretty early on day 1 not to fight the distro, so I’m trying to understand the way Bazzite wants this to be done. From another reply, it sounds like it’s a difference in rootless/rootful containers so I’m going to try to work out how to run a podman container as root and see if this helps.
- Comment on How do I run docker compose on Bazzite? 5 days ago:
Thanks, I will have a go at trying to get it running as a rootful container!

I was running Nobara before, which is also based on Fedora.

Ah well, it’s been the law here for 20 years.
I’m also reading about how our NZ/Australia socket was based on an American 125v socket design, later upgraded to allow 240v.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 1 week ago:
Does NA not have insulated pins? Where a half inch of so of the pin nearest the plug head is insulated so when plugging in the exposed part of the pin is inside the hole before the pin makes contact with live power?
- Comment on The Mobile Browsers That Stick Their Noses Into Your Business 1 week ago:
Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.
The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.

But if you can taste the coke, doesn’t that mean you don’t have enough alcohol in there?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 week ago:
I guess my position is that I am not worried about someone confirming content exists on my server. But I don’t live in the US, if I did I might be more worried. I also geofence to my country to limit exposure.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 week ago:
Cheers for that. Many of these issues allow a user to do admin actions if they do the right things, so it seems you should never allow a user that you don’t fully trust to have an account.
But outside of this, there isn’t anything in there that on its own worries me given the nature of the platform (that is, that if it all burnt down I could retrieve all data from other sources). I’m no expert but a cursory look shows a bunch of potential issues that may be layered with other issues but no clear attack path except with prior knowledge.
These should obviously be fixed but there’s nothing that makes me want to rip my server off the open internet in a hurry.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 week ago:
What kids of things?
I’ve never worried that much because it’s not critical data and it’s containerised in Docker, but I am curious about specifics because large numbers of people expose it to the internet (through reverse proxies).
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t there an assumption it would be behind a reverse proxy… At least I hope that’s the assumption.

Just reading your comment gave me arthritis.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 2 weeks ago:
Haha no the prongs of the first one looks good. But the handle looks too thin for my big hands. That thick fork looks like a nightmare, though.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 2 weeks ago:
Personally I don’t like that handle either. Needs to be thicker.
- Comment on pope 2 weeks ago:
There’s a whole Wikipedia page about it. But here is the important bit:
In the past, caller ID spoofing required an advanced knowledge of telephony equipment that could be quite expensive. However, with open source software (such as Asterisk or FreeSWITCH, and almost any VoIP company), one can spoof calls with minimal costs and effort.
Some VoIP providers allow the user to configure their displayed number as part of the configuration page on the provider’s web interface. No additional software is required.
So it’s pretty trivial these days because the phone number coming from the phone network doesn’t help when the phone network lets you set whatever you like.
- Comment on pope 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately the calling party can show whatever they want for the caller number, there’s no validation that it’s true.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 3 weeks ago:
Whaaaaaaaat? Pivot tables are a 2 second job to summarise large amounts of transaction data or similar by month or year. Lookups or countifs would take so much longer!
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 4 weeks ago:
You sound like you know your LibreOffice.
My experience is they are quite different but I’ve been able to do the same things for the most part.
But how the hell do I make a pivot table that looks and functions as nice as the plain old default one in Excel?

Ah I guess it’s that it shows what they want then they have to install the app to buy it?
