I have a friend who’s really big in to smoking meats for hours and hours and days at a time. He loves this kind of thing because he can monitor the smoker without physically being in front of it.

I think he’s crazy af for involving the damned internet in it but I guess it is what it is when you’re “cooking” something for 9 hours.

That’d be just what we need. People with no critical thinking skills, in a cult, legally high. Another coffin nail.

What’s 1 thing Trump has done that you agree with?

disinterested in people that DO fall into either of those categories

I am also disinterested in the entire human race.

The average Winblows user doesn’t even know how to lock the screen without using their mouse or touchpad. Don’t give me that “It’s hard for people” bullshit. Most people can barely handle recognizing icons, which are the same regardless of OS.

oh. MORE WANGS PEOPLE. FLING THE SLING

waIT WHAT

God damn it people, send this person some trouser salami

Sunk
Cost
Fallacy

I’d be interested in a status update as the days go by- how many tubesteaks do you receive

OH NO
anyway

Edit: Just realized this could be misunderstood. The above sarcasm was in the “fuck you, leopards at your face because you and others voted for leopards who eat faces” kind of way.

Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven’t seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it’s not impossible that the hostnames it’s reaching out to just aren’t in my MANY block lists.
271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.

I work a salaried full time job that provides me absolutely zero health care coverage of any kind. I’m on the ultra-budget tier of healthcare.gov benefits and my taxes get brutalized every spring because I “earn too much” to be on it.

Given the opportunity I would gladly push a guillotine around town, and when that’s done I’d push it toward the state capitol and beyond. That opportunity will never come.

Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.

I don’t disagree at all, but morally and legally speaking if “no” means “no”, I don’t actually see anything wrong with the prompt or the idea itself. If no means “later” or “limit this data”, or even “anonymize this data”, it’s time to revolt.

I agree Jellyfin’s pretty rad and DOES prove what can be done for free, I’ve used both and Plex is a much more “set and forget” and I personally have had more issues with streams breaking/stopping for no reason with Jellyfin- are those probably my fault? Yep, probably borked a setting or misconfigured it- just saying that’s my personal experience.

I’m just one idiot making noises with my meat flaps. I’m no authority.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Desktop support huh? Look around your town for little tiny MSPs. There are 3 or so in my little city (I work at one of them) and I’ve been begging them to hire a tier 1 tech for years. We’re busier than HELL. They insist we “can’t afford one” but we’ll be able to afford 3 as soon as one of the “partners” finally retires soon.

If you’re ok doing remote-tool desktop support and know what you’re doing, I have no doubt you’re worth $20/hr.

Even if there’s no listing or “We’re hiring” sign in the window, I say take a chance and walk in to ask.
In the mean time, have you considered putting an ad on craigslist/etc? Best of luck to you fellow geek.

You do Crossfit?

Best part of the joke is EXT4 partitions (and BTRFS, ZFS, etc too?) are invisible to Windows, so it’s just “flailing its gun” at the wind the whole time.
