ducaale/xh is another much like curl. Closer to postman are Hoppscotch and Insomnia.

The golden age of having to hear from stupid people.

It is quite good. It has good readout voices and offers idiomatic alternative translations. Also has good bookmarklets.

Understood, which is why for my workflow, I prefer MAC. Still a good feature.

I find multi account containers to be the best workflow ergonomics when it comes to separating logins and sessions. I think having the same bookmarks, theme, etc. is actually nice. But I’m sure many really enjoy profile swapping.

I agree, but fuck this dumb law first and foremost.

I get that. And believies can’t be based on reason. They’re just there. But it does generally require the ignoring of facts about the world around us. Like the same thing happens after death as before birth. You deal with loss by grieving. I don’t think they’re stupid, just regularly ignoring the simple answers to those questions.

It kind of is to some extent. Believing stories like this requires a certain degree of ignorance.

If I recall correctly it was a part of how Feel Good Inc. was made. That is tangential at best, I realize, but still a fun story.

I agree. But you phrased it positively, and for that you must pay with digital schmeckles.

It is risky to say anything positive about Apple here, true or not.

There is a lot here with varying degrees of helpfulness. I’ll add one thing. Many have commented essentially “build stuff”, and that is solid truth. That’s how you get better. But just like the whole perfect practice makes perfect, there is one fundamental detail that must be included. Build systems that you understand deeply. Not the code; that you are learning. But it is best to build things where you understand the outcome behavior of the system.

For example, if you don’t really understand what graphics rasterization is, building a raster program, even with a good guide, isn’t going to help as much as you might think. Though it will help you understand graphics, so go nuts. But if you really understand how baseball stats are calculated, do something with that. It will be much more gratifying and the code will be the part you’re learning, not the system it is implementing.

SMS 2FA is insecure though. Something like a fido key would be an option.

Candidly, I did not expect it so soon.

Neovim is a great choice anyway.

Chromium is a browser. WebKit is an engine. Maybe you meant Blink?

Correct. I prefer to avoid the browsers that use their browser engine.

I have used Zen a lot since the early days and it has been very good. Suits my needs perfectly. However, recently I started testing out Orion and it has also been very nice. It has very good privacy and is WebKit if you’re into that. I’m just happy with anything not Blink.

Here is a pretty good write up on it. They aren’t that different but generally I think mkv is preferred in high quality since it can handle more tracks and more codecs.

comments like these that imply that jellyfin is a direct replacement for Plex when you yourself say it’s not.

I didn’t say that. I agree with it though. They aren’t 1:1.

I’m not arguing with me about the merits of you using Plex. Entirely possible it suits your needs better. But most important to many of us is the ability to run offline. Once you’re online, you’re right that Jellyfin has some ground to make up.

Nobody is running Jellyfin strictly offline. At the bare minimum people leave it internet connectable to grab metadata and other resources,

I run it offline, in a network that doesn’t even have a path from the outside world. I have a separate gluetun network for getting metadata outside the media server. Even still, connecting to the internet is a vastly different security service that allowing connections from the internet.

I wouldn’t even really debate any of your negative points about Jellyfin; all true. I’m just saying Jellyfin is a replacement for Plex in many cases, even if not yours. For me, where I want to run offline a service that doesn’t force me to log into a cloud server to watch my own stuff on my own network, it is a replacement. And on top of that, I just like it more. I like the interface more and feel its syncplay is less problematic.
