Right? It's the perfect surprise, that's why the book keeps it under wraps. They basically spoiled the whole movie right there.

Remember when they said 10 would be the last one?

What we can? How? I've been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

Went for the first time in probably 5 years the other day. 15 freaking dollars just for me. Ridiculous. I'll just keep going to my local burger place for that price

Sounds like it, I think docker is exactly what you're looking for

Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects

Glad he supported the guy who said he'd impose tariffs when he had no idea what tariffs were. 3 minutes of googling could have saved this guy 3000 bucks

There's many ways to do this. Saving the disk state is one, I believe that's what the other person suggested - essentially stores the disk as an image which then you use for future vms as your jumping off point. This is also essentially how workstations are deployed at companies. (Essentially being the key word). Cloud providers have different names for this too, in AWS this is called their AMI.

Another option is Ansible, which essentially handles deploying a VM by running your scripts for you. I haven't played too much with this, and I doubt it works with VirtualBox, but it's something you may want to look into, it would definitely uplevel your skills.

Thirdly is dependent on what you actually use your VM for, you haven't given your use cases but this is one of the reasons containerization became such a thing - because when running an app we mostly don't care about the underlying system. It may be worth it to learn about docker.

Seconded. This seems like a gamers nexus story ready to happen.

Best buy had one of the lowest lows and best recoveries I had ever seen while working there. The new French CEO made it about customer service, and I saw people and teens who had never considered going to a best buy start going. Stock price went up, people were happy.

Then the board ousted him a few years ago and made it all about profits, going right back to where they were in the downward spiral, completely unaware of the irony. I hope they fail now. They could have come out on top but greed took over again.

Personally, I think this is where downvoting is a thing. Let's be honest, us mods are demonized here for "over-modding", I think this counts as one of those things where unless a comment breaks an established rule, then there's no real rule breaking. Dog piling isn't great and it doesn't add anything, but it doesn't necessarily mean that a mod needs to jump in and put a stop to it. Personally, I'd just wait until someone reports something to me that is rule breaking, otherwise any of those users can leave the thread if they don't like it, or downvote. That's my opinion though.

Maybe what another commenter said, "harsher enforcement of the rules when you notice someone being dogpiled". Not a new rule directly, but that could be something (worded better than me) "Dogpiling is not banned, but will be watched diligently for rule-breaking". No new rules or anything, but the second someone steps out of line you lock the thread or give them a temporary ban for breaking a rule. Similar to speeding in a construction zone.

Hey all, I'm hoping this is simple one of you have seen. I have Jellyfin media player installed on bazzite, I use it through gaming mode. Most of the time, but some audio tracks are silent and won't play unless I force transcoding.

They are usually DTS or DTS:MA. Do I need to install drivers somehow? Or flip a setting? I'm fine with transcoding audio, but I want to avoid transcoding video.

I am plugged into an Onkyo receiver via HDMI, so it should be able to play most of those.

Thanks!

I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit: I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying “Just buy a plex pass” are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

And for the thousandth person who wants to say the same things to me:

  • YES I know I'm unaffected as a Plex Pass owner.
  • My users were immediately angry at it, which made me angry. Our users don't understand what plex pass is, and they shouldn't have to, that's why I had it. The fact that they were pinged even though it should have kept working is horribly sloppy
  • Plex is still removing functionality. I don't care that "People should pay their fair share". If Plex wants to put every new feature behind a paywall, that's completely okay. They are removing functionality.
    • "But they have cloud costs". Remote streaming is negligible to them. It's a dynamic DNS service. Plex client logs in, asks where server is, plex cloud responds with the IP and port of where server is located. That's it.
    • "Good luck finding another remote streaming" - Again, Plex just opens up an IP and port. Jellyfin also just opens up an IP and port (Hold on jellyfin folks I know, security, that's a separate conversation). All "remote streaming" is is their dynamic dns. Literal pennies to them. Know what actually is costing them money? Hosting all of that ad-supported "free" content that they're probably losing money on.

In short, I don't care how you justify it. Plex is doing something shitty. They're removing functionality that has been free for years. I'm not responding to any more of your comments repeating the same arguments over and over.

Hi folks. So, I know due to a myriad of reasons I should not allow Jellyfin access to the open internet. However, in trying to switch family over from Plex, I'll need something that "just works".

How are people solving this problem? I've thought about a few solutions, like whitelisting ips (which can change of course), or setting up VPN or tail scale (but then that is more work than they will be willing to do on their side). I can even add some level of auth into my reverse proxy, but that would break Jellyfin clients.

Wondering what others have thought about for this problem

 

Hi folks, title essentially. I'm using Open Razer and Polychromatic on PopOS right now for my keyboard, but I have a few other peripherals that are also RGB. A corsair cooler, my EVGA card, and my Gigabyte mobo lighting. I was wondering if there's a single pane I can organize them all with. I don't have super high expectations, but maybe there's something out there. Thanks!

 

I am someone who always enjoys having something on in the background, helping me focus.

I love me some Andor, GoT, a lot of newer stuff that is made with really high production quality - but I sit down to watch those.

What shows do you watch that just sit running in the background, ones that aren't going to win any Emmys but you just enjoy?

For me my last two are Home Improvement and Everybody Loves Raymond. Both were fine in their heyday, but now they are noise filler. Not terrible, not great. So what are yours?

 

Maybe an ivory backscratcher?
