While I know it's easy to hate on everything MCU these days, I do still absolutely love the Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2. The design doesn't feel practical at all, but it's still a really fun to look at and agile ship, which is something a lot of sci fi doesn't really depict very well.

Enemy and Jellyfin both have Android TV and Roku apps. I don't have an apple TV, but I imagine apps exist there too.

The last time I tried a Samsung phone I returned it the same day I got it. The competing OS elements from Samsung's ROM and the standard Android UI were really really off-putting to me. I can get an app having a unique style, but this was different OS elements looking and working differently.

It's a prank riddle. Basically you make two statements about building bridges. They can be from anywhere and to anywhere else. My nose to your forehead, Baltimore to Seattle, it makes no difference. In one sentence, you use the word "okay" and in the other you don't. The sentence with "okay" in it produces a good bridge. The sentence that doesn't, doesn't.

When you ask a person to build their own bridge, if they say "okay" in the sentence, it's a good bridge. If they don't, it's a bad bridge and it falls down. This setup is built to make people frustrated because "okay" is one of those filler words that people don't really pay attention to in sentences.

I've also heard of a similar setup where a person hands an object to another person (again, the object doesn't matter) and says "This is a bean, okay?" And if the recipient says "okay" then they have done the task correctly and can pass it along to another person, declaring the object is something else. If the receiver doesn't say "okay," then something went wrong and one of the people who is in on the joke interrupts and starts the process again. with a new object.

Okay, so if I build a bridge from X to Y, it's a great bridge.

If I build a bridge from A to B it's a terrible bridge.

Do you want to build a bridge?

(If the person says Okay as a part of their bridge proposal, it is good. If not, then the bridge is bad)

This is a great way to make everyone at a gathering hate you.

You never know how far you'll go to save a pet until it happens.

This must have changed with 23.04 or something then, because when I set up my home server a little over a year ago, ZFS as root was not only not a part of the install, but also heavily recommended against as something that could be hacked in. Basically you could do it, but you shouldn't was my impression. I ended up doing EXT4 as root, then mounted my ZFS storage in my home directory.

Every day when I come home from work, I kneel on the top step of our stairs and call our dogs over. They sit on the landing and put their front paws on my shoulders while I scratch their sides and pet them. My wife has taken to calling this ritual "motivation." The dogs really love having a couple minutes of solid attention when I come home and it's a good way for me to switch gears into home-brain, since my work is very stressful and tends to take over.

Ubuntu and many other distros do not come with ZFS support out of the box due to licensing, so it is not recommended to use ZFS for the root filesystem.

A lot of folks are talking about how a centralized repository would be a big target for governments, ISPs and rights holders, but I have a different angle.

Who is going to pay for all of that development and maintenance? We are pirates. We don't pay for stuff. It's kind of our thing.

Additionally, you are proposing an option with social features and algorithms. Both are a negative because they necessarily encourage users to explicitly say what they have been downloading or uploading in a way that is being logged and therefore is evidence against them should a media company want to push for legal action.

All of my passwords are in Bitwarden and important ones are shared with my wife who has her own Botwarden and has shared her important passwords back with me. If one of us goes, the other will have access to everything. I don't (yet) have any descendants to inherit anything of importance, so I'm not worried about anything beyond my passwords so that if something happens to me, my wife can manage all of the accounts for bills, banking, communication, etc.

If/when I have children, I will likely make a new plan that builds on what I already have, with directions to access my password vault that can be given to my brother and his husband and my parents, should they outlive me and my wife. With my passwords, everything else of import is accessible. Thankfully, my brother is very tech savvy, so if my wife and I both go, I can trust him to be able to log in to everything and pull important media down.

I feel like Emby, as a for-profit company will eventually go down the same path as Plex.
