It grinds my gears so much that organizations like NPR still refer to it as Obamacare in their reporting. Its a cutesy/cringey nickname at best, and a slur at worst.

Sex therapists only want one thing and it’s discussing fucking.

Maybe next we can get to the bottom of other radical left conspiracies, such as:

“Why did the UN’s wifi drop Trump’s phone connection right as he was placing his McDonalds order??”

and

“What caused the UN bathroom lights to turn off after 26 minutes of Trump sitting on the can, when the motion sensor was clearly set to 30 minutes??”

I think you need to look at the points above, where it lists the cases where VPN is recommended:

When VPNs are Needed Highly Restrictive Countries: China or Australia where internet access is heavily restricted ISP Throttling: If your ISP specifically throttles or blocks BitTorrent traffic Legal Requirements: If local laws require VPN use for P2P/BitTorrent activities

Not sure where you’re located, but in most of the USA, not using a VPN runs you the risk of at least getting a nastygram from your ISP. How much that means to you depends on how worried you are about getting your service disconnected or sued by the owner of whatever you’re seeding. For me personally, a VPN is a no-brainer.

ETA: I may have missed the subtler point of your post. I personally do not have my *arr apps behind a VPN, only my torrenting app. I think that is what the wiki is specifically addressing.

I played OG Doom for years with keyboard only. Up/Down arrow for forward/backwards, Left/Right to turn, and then holding Alt to strafe. RIght hand on the arrow keys and left hand controlling strafe/run/weapon selection.

I don’t honestly recall if mouselook was even an option back then, but I tried playing with those keyboard only controls recently and literally could not even. It’s kinda wild how hard it is to imagine anything other than WASD-mouse for a FPS these days.

Yeah, its their online-only bank.

I have no idea why some banks can offer those CD-like rates while others offer virtually zero. Capital One 360 Savings and Ally have similar rates as well.

One that earns you more than the default 0.15% or so that you earn on most savings accounts.

You have to do a bit of hunting, but for example, I have an account with Citizens Access that earns 3.50% last time I checked. It’s not much, but it’s better than earning nothing on the emergency fund that I want to keep liquid and accessible.

Easy peasy. Instead of making payments to your credit card, transfer the amount to a high yield savings account instead. Then use that savings account to pay your CC once per month. (Savings accounts typically have a limit on debits, but you can usually make as many deposits as you want.)

Enjoy the cashback AND a few bucks in interest AND having your checking account accurately reflect your “real” money at all times.

This is one of the great things about the *arrs. They will create a hardlink to the file in your media folder structure so that you can keep seeding and have a well organized/named media library without wasting storage.

Prior to that, I also just saved my torrents directly to my media library, and used the torrent manager to rename the local file properly. Same thing effectively, just a lil more work.

If I was playing The Sims, and one of my Sims started showing un-mistakeable signs of self awareness, I would panic and ctrl-alt-delete that shit so fast.

Maybe its better if we DMT-and-lasers our way into a plan before we start banging on the glass.

No, I wasn’t doing any pre-processing other than “properly” formatting the track name and folder structure. So I can’t really blame Jellyfin, because I know that tagging is part of the best process workflow. But I’ve just found Navidrome seems to be a little more hands off.

That’s why I specifically called out the phrase “free speech absolutist”.

In my experience the vast majority of people who truly do advocate for freedom of speech are willing/able to understand nuances such as the fact that your freedom of speech does not grant you immunity from the social consequences of unpopular speech. I.e., other people exercising their freedom to disagree or opt not to use their private platform to host your speech. The “absolutists” will unironically call that censorship, rather than recognize other people are not compelled to engage with their speech.

Without exception, “free speech absolutists” just want to say a specific brand of horrid shit themselves without social blowback. It never applies to free speech as a legal concept, and certainly never applies to speech they disagree with.

I’m not the person you were replying to, but the only issue I ever had using Jellyfin for music was that it seemed.a little finicky about matching artist/album when pulling down metadata, and I had to do more manual intervention.

The actual streaming functionality seemed perfectly fine, but I personally settled on Navidrome for music.

Question which sounds more fun: doing donuts 🥱💤 or whipping shitties 🔥🔥

A good brownie with sea salt sprinkled on top is most definitely essential!

Have you had the banana cream Twinkies? Probably not as good as the OG ones, but definitely a nice treat when you come across them!

And then “why are people shooting us CEOs in the streets in broad daylight?”

Edit for clarification

Would it blow your mind if I told you all the 2K sports games were released by 2K? 😁

Think of it like two groups of people in separate rooms with a large open window between them. Not everyone is trying to talk one on one to the other group all the time. And sometimes just feeling like you’re in the same physical space can be nice.

It’s not perfect, but in many circumstances it’s worlds better than having tiny portable windows that mostly facilitate one on one conversation.
