  • Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

  • I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.

    Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.

  • I'm in my 40s and have multiple long-standing circles of friends going back decades (each with their own group chat). I even made new friends recently through channels other than my existing friends (started going to local fighting game community events).

    I definitely feel bad for the people who talk about having very few or even no close friends and seem to frame it as some kind of inevitability that comes with adulthood. Life without my friends would absolutely be a lot worse.

  • A persistent assumption about advanced interstellar travel is that engine efficiency is monumentally better to the point that the "tyrrany of the rocket equation" is no longer a factor, and extra mass can be carried without absolutely exploding your fuel requirements into absurdity.

    If adding 10kg of payload didn't mean also potentially many times more mass of propellant we'd be sending up more robust spacecraft, no question.

  • I'm from Canada and had to explain to border officers what my accommodations and means of personal support would be for a two week stay in the US. I was almost denied entry because I wasn't carrying sufficient cash on hand.

    That was almost twenty years ago.

  • I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don't care how good it allegedly is.

    I've missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.

  • A guy I played with in university's read them as addition, which is the same as reading them as digits with the exception of the tens.

    00 + 0 was 10 (because the "0" on a d10 is usually read as 10)

    10 + 0 was 20

    90 + 0 was 100

  • I feel this. Working from home now but even when in the office spent a staggering amount of time just... doing nothing. Spent multiple days in the office just watching old episodes of The Computer Chronicles on youtube.

    Recently praised as one of the most productive/useful members of my team and also thanked for taking so much of my time to help other teams.

    Not a furry though.

  • Well, yes, very clearly it's a "man on screen said it" situation, but it's not like that's new.

    People who repeated "ground control to {insert name}" to get the attention of someone whose mind was elsewhere didn't believe they were actually addressing an astronaut. It's an idiom born of the current cultural zeitgeist.

  • The Sun still only illuminates part of the disk at a time. It doesn't go below the disk at night, it's still above the disk just too far away to see, so you get different times of day in different parts of the world.

    Yes, this just raises more questions. Yes they have answers for them. None of them are good and very few of them are even internally consistent, let alone hold up to any scrutiny.
