  • There’s been lots of great movies lately, they’ve just drowned in the massive marketing budgets of copy pasta bullshit sequels.

    What I do instead is mostly rely on specific directors that I know produce high quality content like Guy Ritchie, Wes Anderson, and Christopher Nolan (especially work done together with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, but IIRC Jonathan mostly focused on series like Westworld and Fallout after Interstellar).

    Another thing to look for is A24 movies. They’re quite unique and usually pushes the limits with story telling. Their older stuff, while great, might though not be everyone’s cup of tea but it seems like they’re trying to mellow it a bit out lately to cater to a larger audience.





  • I’m fully Dockerized (well, uhh… Podmanized) and I’m dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can’t see. I’m currently personally using Jellyfin and I’m waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough…) for the users I share with to switch over.

    I can definitely recommend that setup.





  • More accurately, Denmark’s postal service stops delivering post.

    This is a direct consequence of the free market act from 2023 that no longer obligated PostNord to deliver post and stopped paying for the service. It is no surprise that post delivery isn’t a profit market, especially in this day and age, so IMO that was a pretty stupid idea from our politicians. Now only Dao delivers post but there’s nothing stopping them from saying “this island is too expensive to deliver pos to. Come pick up your shit in the mainland’s ferry terminal.” And trust me, we have a lot of islands for such a small country.




  • I get it. I’ve just been through a merger and the new head software delivery has plans on rewriting everything in their tech stack. He is in for an absolute fucking ride when he realises that such a rewrite will not take a year but 5 to 10 and will incapacitate our department for the entire time. In a rapidly evolving market. It is 3 decades of continuous and rapid feature expansions he’s trying to unroll.

    It’s not FOSS though, so I’m not as invested in it, I’m just here to see him either fail utterly or get kicked due to his cognitive dissonance that’ll cost our department in the tens or hundreds of millions.
