I totally agree which is why i said even an average moron would have seen through this. They only like to pretend to be working for the people when elections are near.

Yeah right they’ll just lobby the government to make them immune from liability by saying “the free market” will take care of any shortcomings.

prescription drug commercials

Referencing anal leakage and death while an upbeat jingle plays in the background to some smiling old people playing horseshoes or hiking in nature.

Talk to your doctor today!

Ersatz actually does allow you to do this. Its kinda neat to find old 80s and 90s commercials and mix them in with your 80s and 90s TV shows.

I ran it for a while and it was a little confusing to set up but worked well in the end. I did have some major issues with trying to use it alongside my HDHomeRun (local antenna channels) in Plex. xTeve allows you to combine the two programming schedules into one since Plex only allows for one at a time, but for whatever reason the output would come out all scrambled with shows being tied to the wrong channel. It seemed to work fine in Emby, so it should work fine in Jellyfin, and you likely wouldn’t even encounter this since most people don’t have live TV setup anyways.

I switched to AirVPN when Mullvad made the change. I think Proton, PIA, and Windscribe have it too.

You’ll only be able to connect to certain peers that do have port forwarding setup.

Fan of Mullvad but just be aware its not what you want if you’re using a VPN for torrenting. They had to remove their port forwarding feature due to some bad actors ruining it for the rest of us.

Its funny I’ve run into this same issue at work in addition to Microsoft asking for my SSO but then giving me some Outlook code as a two-factor verification that I’ve never once had work properly (the code never shows up in outlook on my work phone or PC and I always have to go to the “use other options” and do the SMS code.

I think if it were an insult, they meant it as a good natured ribbing. Like they wouldn’t joke about it if they actually thought you embodied those qualities.

Sorry, I didnt mean to sound like I was disparaging you. I think this shows why they probably meant it in a more endearing way as it sounds like you’re definitely not those type of people.

I definitely agree there’d be a considerable overlap in the Venn diagram

To me there’s a bit of a distinction toward being an upper middle class hippie. The kind that wears expensive clothes, drives a luxury EV, shops at Whole Foods, etc. If anyone reading this has been to Bend, OR, that place is the crunchy mecca.

And the rails are all privately owned.

I don’t know why, but I find the “DrinkCocaCola@programming.dev” username to be one of the funniest parts.

It’d be hilarious to spin this off with instance tailored versions like a DrinkCocaCola@hexbear.net that comes in with death threats toward Pepsi drinkers followed by brigading from DrinkDietCoke and DrinkSprite who post nonsensical memes in support.

Reddit and lemmy are a mirror image of the internet not of themselves or each other.

As a fellow Dr. Pepper® head and completely living human, wouldn’t you agree that Diet Dr. Pepper® offers less calories but with that same great Dr. Pepper® taste?

#1 is probably the easiest solution outside of leaving your external drive connect all the time.

That part does make sense but the rest is still confusing unless the frunk and laptop are meant to be a cartoonish trap and bait for ICE agents, which I can totally get behind, but would just like clarification.

I’m not sure why you’re referring to the Pi4 since it doesn’t require this entirely non-standard power supply and isn’t their current flagship model. Nobody is asking for old models to be retrofitted with voltage regulators so that they don’t have to use a power supply that they already don’t need to use.

You say you don’t use or recommend the Pi5 and yet you’re seemingly arguing that its power supply requirements aren’t a big deal and that improvements should absolutely not be made to it.
