Major version changes for any software from the OS right down to a simple notepad app should update as sequentially as possible (11>12>13>etc). Skipping over versions is just asking for trouble, as it’s rarely tested throughly.

It might work, but why risk it.

An example: if 12 makes a big database change but you skip over that version, 13 may not recognize the databases left by 11 because 12 had the code to recognize and reformat the old database while that code was seen as unnecessary and removed from 13.

Stuff like this is also why you can’t always revert to an older version while keeping the data/databases from the newer software.

Connecdicut or Connecticud?

Emby does this quite well; I’m not sure about Jellyfins Live TV playback/recording tho, I haven’t used it.

That’s very subjective.

Both platforms have the option for mods to tell you exactly what you did wrong; and on both, sometimes they utilize that option sometimes they don’t.

It’s entirely up to the individual mods in each specific community.

Lemmy does generally tend to be a bit more open; just because it’s a growing platform looking to expand its userbase, so the mods make a bit more of an effort to create peace/understanding vs just ban hammering any problems into oblivion.

Reddits grown big enough that it can throw its weight around a bit carelessly and have less worry of the userbase collapsing.

Isn’t ‘skyhook’ a concept used in one of the Batman movies, based on an old military concept? He releases a ballon on a tether which gets snagged amd reeled in by a passing aircraft to extract him from a dangerous area.

No, no, no; We’re just giving Mercury a retro-grade.

I’m thinking maybe a C to C+ at best. I mean it’s kinda ‘retro’, but that’s definitely not the first description that comes to mind.

You probably should, but that doesn’t mean you do. It’s not like anyone makes you take a quiz to go wander around outside.

Plenty of people get themselves into trouble all the time exploring places/things they know nothing about.

Imagine being out exploring new islands, not realizing its low tide. You setup camp for the night on an island that’s relatively flat and close to current sea-level. Then while you’re sleeping the tide comes in and washes your whole camp out to sea…

Typical piracy requires you to search sources/indexers yourself, decide on the best search result for what you’re trying to download, pass that to your download client, then manually name and sort the downloaded files into media folders once the download completes.

The arr’s automate this entre process for several media types (movies, tv, music, etc), combining search results from dozens of indexers to make its decision on what to download.

Now, I open a webpage, search for a movie/show (results from imdb) and select an item I want to watch. ~15min later, that item has been found, downloaded, and sorted into my media folders where Emby/Jellyfin can display it to myself or friends.

Add on to this with Ombi, a requests platform that allows my friends+family to request media and have the arrs automatically grab it. Since setting that up a little over a year ago, it’s filled almost 400 requests (not including media I’ve grabbed/requested myself) without me having to manually manage requests ever.

Ontop of grabbing media on request, the arr’s also monitor the sources you’ve configured, watching for new uploads, and grabbing content that’s missing from your library but monitored for, such as: newly aired episodes, media that couldn’t be found earlier, or upgrades in quality for existing media (if configured/allowed to upgrade existing media).

Every time a new episode airs for a show I’ve added, it automatically grabs it for me. (currently 486 series monitored here)

That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.

That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.

Thanks again!

Started a new job as a tool tech in a rental center; maintaining, repairing, and simply showing people how to operate, a ton of different tools, some of which I’ve never even seen before.

First thing I did is setup a file share on my server that I’ve populated with 70+ manuals and growing by the day…

Read through them all myself to understand the nuances of each machine and be able to explain the details to customers; plus I can print them a fresh copy on demand just for good measure.

Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

Yeah, your home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.

It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.

Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

DNS-01 is in the pipeline at least, so hopefully we’ll see that bring wildcard certs along with it.

It’s nice to see this being integrated into nginx. I’ve been using ACME.sh for around a decade instead. It just triggers through a script on a crontab schedule grabbing a new cert via DNS-01 if necessary, then refreshing nginx to recognize the new file.

People have opinions. You can’t request others to not have their opinions if you’re going to share yours.

Yes and no… Everyone has an opinion, but it’s not always appropriate to share those opinions, especially if you’re changing the topic at hand to do so.

If we’re discussing ‘some topic’™ and I swear, but censor a couple letters; that would not be the time to change gear and discuss my personal use of censoring. You could have a separate discussion about it at a different time, as we are doing now; but it’s not really appropriate to stop the previous discussion about ‘some topic’ to talk about my censoring instead. That comes off as avoiding the subject imo.

almost nothing else…? Cmon OP, you’ve gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?

A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.

Lots of people don’t like to swear in person, or will follow it with something like ‘oops, did I say that out loud’.

I’ve never understood being upset when people self-censor online too. How does someone else not swearing effect you?
