This is weird. The links all show other news agencies, and you see the same at the top of the page when you follow the links. Is MSN re-hosting the stories from all these agencies or are the agencies opting in for this?

Nothing like seeing an Associated Press link and having it open on msn.com!! 🤡

Sounds like you need a poop knife.

Take a look at the Linuxserver Docker images. They curate a huge list of self hosted apps that is great to browse and look for ideas. You don’t need to run Docker and use their images - I’m just suggesting review their list of apps they support to get some ideas of what’s out there.

That Pi is too old to handle any media tasks (like running a Jellyfin server), but for any low intensity duties it’s still perfectly usable.

If Trump keeps being antagonistic, Carney should start calling him Premier Trump.

Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.

Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.

A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.

You try to push your thumb and forefinger through each other. Eventually they slip.

I had the same problem and eventually abandoned it. Even though I had good results with it finding content, the book metadata is usually terrible and I end up having to manually fix it in Calibre and then force download metadata and cover art.

If I’m already having to do that anyway, might as well just acquire the book manually and import it myself.

Idiocracy is the only movie I’m aware of that was released as a comedy and became a horror movie.

There are scripts you can run (there’s a few people have posted on GitHub) that will do one better.

If you mass delete all your posts, Reddit can detect that and just undelete everything. I haven’t seen evidence of that happening, but that’s why people wrote those scripts so maybe there’s something to it.

What those scripts will do is go and edit everything post and comment you’ve ever submitted and replace it with gibberish generated content. That effectively poisons your history in Reddit so the poor AI training runs have a bad time.

These JavaScript library names are getting ridiculous.

You should be able to play a video that’s at 100% even if the torrent isn’t complete.

It could be a codec issue? If you’re using windows there’s a tool called MediaInfo you can install that’ll analyze a video file and tell you if it’s corrupt and what codecs it uses. You might just need to install a codec pack like K-Lite if your system doesn’t already have the codec you need. Or, like an other commenter said, try opening it in VLC which has killer codec support built in.

Hanged them?

Found them important positions at NASA?

Technical education opens doors, or your child.

Please don’t open my child.

Guess how many bombs the TSA has protected people from.

GoodReads is good for this. They have lots of curated lists and popular top 100 lists you can browse through, and you see the cover and a paragraph synopsis of each book.

Beside each book there’s a button to add it to your Want to Read list. Pick books that sound appealing until you’ve built up a decent list.

Then if you don’t feel like manually sourcing them all one at a time from LibGen or Anna’s, you can set up Readarr to automatically sync your Want to Read list and it’ll auto acquire them. If you’re already using automation apps like Sonarr and Radarr it’s exactly the same thing.

Correct. I can’t use the stairs because otherwise my already flailing joke wouldn’t work at all.

Given how slow the elevator is in my building, I’d do nothing. I’d be dead before it showed up.

Last week, a vendor sold an item for $10. With tax, that item costs $12. Let’s pretend a 50% markup (which is reasonable for retail but insanely high for groceries):

• they made $5 profit
• they recouped $5 for their costs
• they collected $2 of tax for the government

Now the government has a GST holiday and there’s no tax. I went to the store and bought the item and it still cost me $12.

• they made $7 profit
• they recouped their usual $5 for their costs
• they collected $0 of tax for the government

The main thing is that their costs for that item didn’t increase and they’re still selling it at its original ”final” price (because they added the tax amount to the sticker price). That tax savings went straight into profits. It was intended for the consumer to save money but the consumer is spending the same amount and the government isn’t getting anything. That money went somewhere.

Edit: that assumes that the claim made in the post is true. It’s definitely not going to be true across the board, but doubtless there’s some fuckery afoot in some stores.

Explain your math. It’s absolutely 100% benefit to the seller and 0 benefit to the buyer.

Kobo works fantastic.

If you have the ability, set up calibre and calibre-web and you can configure your Kobo to use your ebook library as the “store”.

Kobo also has at least one plugin/mod that replaces the whole reading UI with one with more features. Check out KOReader for that.

Apart from that, though, it makes little difference what ebook you get. If it allows you to load your own ebook files on manually (afaik they all do), you can do whatever you want.
