Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.

I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.

Right now the DEA is not going after state marijuana because of a memo issued during the Obama administration. That can be revoked at any time.

Much appreciated

Sudden buffering followed by a very long load time before it can get going again. Lowering the resolution resolves it for me.

What I’m seeing only on certain files though. And those files will always buffer again at the same point in playback. But it happens on things I watched without issue prior to my last update. So I suspect it’s a problem with a specific codec, but I haven’t taken the time to validate my hunch.

It’s been about a year since I tried it, so it’s probably worth another. Back then it did OK if I was doing straight passthrough (though CPU load was noticeably higher) but I got a lot of buffering when I’d try to have it transcode anything.

I host quite a few things on it (via docker) so the 920 is starting to show its load. I suspect that and the lack of hardware acceleration are the source of my issues.

No, diskstation runs a significantly modified 2.4 kernel. They say they backport CSM mitigations/fixes into their kernel, but community pressure is growing by the year for them to update.

I run plex on a synology nas whose kernel is too out of date for hardware accelerated transcoding in Jellyfin.

So that’s why I’ve done it my entire adult life. I always wondered.

I haven’t had issues this bad, but Plex has been buffering a lot more lately. If moving to Jellyfin didn’t involve new hardware for me, I would have already jumped ship.

Yeah, I mostly deal in m3 screws for my projects which, I know from experience, do get caught in type-A plugs.

Wow, great work!

Due my own personal bad habits, I fear I wouldn’t see 12 years out of most of those because of the lack of caps. A lot of random stuff ends up in my pocket when I’m doing projects. Screws and other things that will not have happy fun times with bare type A pins.

Timing would have been worse if he hadn’t filed so many appeals and suits to avoid serving his sentence. He could have been out almost 5 months ago and have been doing leg work for the campaign all summer.

Trump has said he’s going to put enemies of America in prison and intimated that this includes anyone that worked with, for, or in support of Harris. I suspect Bezos believes him.

That would only make me work harder for Harris, but then I’m not a self-obsessed billionaire.

When my grandmother (Greatest Generation) died, it took my mom (Boomer), my wife, and I six weeks to go though everything and six days (over 2 weekends) to sell it at estate sales.

She had full house decor for winter, easter, spring, summer, autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. She had a giant Rubbermade bin just of tiny porcelain shoes. I’ve never seen so many candles that had been burned once of twice then put away. At one point my wife screamed because she found an access door in a closet, leading to a smaller closet. and the tiny closed had half a dozen bins full of fake flowers. The house was always pristine and never looked cluttered - she spent decades pulling off one of the better magic tricks I’ve seen.

My mom majorly downsized a few years later, and just did so again. I think she saw her future and didn’t like.

I’m shocked. Shocked!

Well, not that shocked.

Managers were already doing it until the company that makes the machine invoked the DMCA to stop them.

There’s not really a threat in geostationary orbits. It’s a much bigger area with far fewer satellites.

I had an eco prof who once said, “the world created humans because it couldn’t figure out plastic itself.” Now the world has plenty of plastic and it doesn’t need us anymore.

Most made by large corps. For example, Apple got in some hot water not too long ago for changing the way they track in Apple Mail.

Servers track sent, delivered, bounced, and blocked.
Clients phone home with opened, read, CTR, and junk status.

I never stopped. I went from feeds in Netscape Navigator to Google Reader to Feedly and now I self-host Miniflux.
