Joe Rogan Refuses to Attend UFC 315 in Canada Because of ‘Terrible’ Government: ‘I’d Rather Go to Russia’ in c/[email protected]

[–] Gimpydude 10 points 3 days ago

I'd like to apologize for the shit show that is going on in my country, and to reiterate that not having Joe Rogan in Canada is a net positive for Canada.

The leave button is right next to the share button. That's my biggest complaint.

It would be amazing if Canada made a bunch of demands that would be seen as unreasonable. Like, demand that every Canadian province and territory be split in two, and each be admitted as it's own state. That would add 26 new states! There's no way the US would go for that. I'm American, I hate this administration and I have been to Canada many times. Anything that Canada can do to mess with these morons in office would be welcome.

Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale? in c/[email protected]

True, but if it annoys you enough, there are tools to help you remove the requirement.

Roku TV requires internet connection to EDIT THE HOMEPAGE in c/[email protected]

[–] Gimpydude 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's stock Android TV on Nvidia Shield boxes. I'm doing firewall & DNS filtering and I'm only using Plex, Jellyfin and Wireguard. Ideally, I'd like to use a nuc style PC that has a minimal Linux and starts straight into the Jellyfin client.

I just want Jellyfin to show the same as the web UI on Android TV. If it did, I'd switch immediately.

I have 2 TCL Roku TVs. I don't use Roku for either of them, I got them because they were good and cheap. I have them set to switch to HDMI at boot & use android tv boxes. I set that up with a temporary said, then deleted the ssid after.

It really sucks that we have to do things like that to use things we paid for.

The secret is to embrace having an impaired give a shit. Be excellent to your people, and be excellent to strangers. Stop being excellent when they reneg on the dues for our common social contract, but don't let them stop you.

You're 100% correct. It is considered unbiased in the US because where they put the center line is based on a US customer base.

My friends considered me to be far left, but in any other country I think I would be considered center left.

Whisparr is so much better with Postgres for its data back end (self.piracy)

I have a library of videos that I've downloaded with whisparr running in a docker container. I've had a problem with the sqlite DB getting corrupted on a daily basis. I followed the guide on switching to postgres and it only took about 15 minutes, including setting up a postgres server. I really recommend anyone running it to do that. There's been a noticeable performance boost too.
