Just a warning: the photo part of proton drive is incredibly basic to be generous and even that doesn't seem to work smoothly (on android). Just to handpick 2 very annoying things aside from lack of features: opening a picture that's locally on your phone takes 1-2 seconds, and when you back out it has to refresh the gallery view every time, which also takes 1-2 seconds - incredibly annoying while looking for the correct picture.

I use it as a second type of backup for my photos, but I definitely couldn't live with the UX the app provides. IMO the drive part in general is very lacking.

I'm still happy with my proton subscription for mail and VPN, but I'd suggest you trial the drive part before committing to it (unless you already know it's ok for your needs, in which case great!).

This triggered a memory. When I went to university one of my flatmates bought a fancy frisbee that you could throw super far, so as a form of exercise we used to walk to a large park nearby to play.

Come spring when the weather started getting better, the park started getting busier. On one occasion it was full of kids (like 5-6 year olds?) and parents who ignored them. We tried to stay away but the kids kept getting lured by the frisbee that flies far. At some point one of my flatmates tried to hide the frisbee under his shirt to get them to leave, but one of the kids saw him do it and ran to him trying to grab it from under his shirt and yeah.. as soon as my flatmate realised the kid was going to try grabbing at him at the bottom of his shirt he immediately threw the frisbee on the ground and held up his hands as if he was at gunpoint and walked away.

It was pretty funny from the outside but damn.. do I hate parents who let their kids harass other people. It was a much better experience when a bad dog owner was there at a different occasion and we had a dog chasing us around for 20 mins..

It used to be an open source project, then at some point the developers moved it to closed source. In reaction to this, a couple of people forked the last open source version of emby and launched it as an open source project (again) named jellyfin.

It is still open source and under active development, and has a significant userbase. Especially on Lemmy I think it's much preferred by people to emby (or at least more vocally supported).

I was not aware of this before and this is probably one of the most pedantic things I've heard for a while - great answer.

Considering how conflicts between other neighbouring countries around the world are going, loudspeakers and trash balloons seem like pretty great choices.

Maybe set up a script that runs locally and pings an external service like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 every second to see if it survives in a window when your services alert? Perhaps it's your modem refreshing some config which causes a blip for a few seconds or something similar. If this doesn't alert at least you can rule out that your internet fully goes out.

The other side of this would also be useful, if you could run a similar check towards different levels of your home network to see how far down it gets (e.g. ping your router, expose some simple TCP echo service on the server running all this and nc it, curl the status page of the reverse proxy (or set up a static page in it), curl the app behind the reverse proxy - just make sure to use firewall rules for this and not just put everything on the internet). Depending on where it fails should hopefully give you some idea to go on.

Maybe set up https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/ to see if it registers any packet loss in those times or increased latency (although I'd still do the above as well)

I can understand the rest but.. hair colour? You can just dye it, no need for genetics smh.

I just hope that 1 IP they're so bent over turns out to be a CGNAT IP.

Losses, per the site's analysis, include destroyed, damaged, and captured vehicles.

How about "ran out of fuel so ditched it on the side of the road and a farmer towed it away" ones? Unless that's just considered "captured"

I'm neither a cop nor a secret service agent, but I would expect that they cooperate to some degree at least on these events. Doesn't even need to be much, just stand a cop with a radio next to an agent with a radio somewhere so they can immediately pass on information to each other and relay it to their respective colleagues. Armed shooter sighted on roof seems like a worthy bit of intel to wanna pass along.

If they don't have the means to relay information to each other.. that seems rather shortsighted on both sides.

It doesn't eliminate the smell, but air purifiers can reduce it significantly. We have a decent one in the room where the litters are that turns on on a schedule. It's a bit annoying that if the cats use the litter just when it's turning off then it's kinda no use.

My long term plan if I ever get around to it is to build a cupboard type thing to put their litter in with an extractor fan to the outside.

Litter robots could help, but all the people I know who have them said they just replace some issues and chores with other issues and chores in the end.

I could see them let it go on after a report - I'd expect they get a lot of threats and possibly fake reports too.

But for the rest.. yea.. as soon as he was sighted the security detail should have been on the move to cover trump.

Considering how people get shot for looking like they are thinking of a weapon when near the cops, it's shocking that the counter snipers didn't immediately shoot him once he aimed the gun at the officer.
