Let’s show off how these “reporters” work

Love it

Ty

Fine. Forget about it.

Life is strange was a fun series for me and my SO. We’re glass we played the oldest ones first, too.

Do you like civilization or other “builder/planner” style games, like Cities Skylines, or Surviving Mars. Raji was kind of fun and laid back, too.

My app required these to work

And nothing of value was lost. I’m over social media, over commercial apps, and maybe I’m over having a mobile phone, too.

Plex stopped being useful to me in 2019. At the time I had only about 300 movies and the same number of TV episodes. The database kept getting corrupt, causing long load times of video info pages, or perpetual spinning progress indicator. After fixing the database (and losing all watch metadata each time) three times in one year, I moved to a plain file share served from the NAS with Kodi running on my Nvidia Shield.

In seven years, Kodi’s local DB has never corrupted. I now have 900+ movies and 2500 TV episodes. I can handle any file type, any video CODEC, can play thousands of games from the internet game library. The DB can be easily backed up and imported into a new install if needed.

And the best part? I didn’t pay anyone to access any of the media I own, and no corpo gets access to my library or watch history.

Forget Plex.

Pedantic comment of the day

as residential networks are want to do

The word you’re thinking of is “wont” pronounced the same as “want,” which makes it pretty confusing for anyone who might not have read it before, but only heard it spoken.

You can’t make this stuff up.

A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And – what?!? – they’re using said data inappropriately?

The hero we needed

You’re right, but if they have your password manager, they likely have your phone, and that means they have your Aegis too.

Still, my suggestion is less of a second factor unless you have 2fa on your keypass, so not best practice.

Keepass can replace Aegis for TOTP

That really is nice, right? I also like when my apps have no mechanism to connect to the internet, so you don’t have to worry about trackers, data exultation, etc.

Wikirabbitholes are fun

So cute!

Time for some nail clipping before they start tilting their digits on their sides.

ID verification brought to you by Wegets Hakktalot. Where information security didn’t make it to the budget.

I would like a package you could easily install on any distro that patches age verification out of the system. I’m not switching distros (yet) for this, as much as I also am not on board with the concept of OS-level compliance with mass control and censorship.
