Can you wire the USB power to the battery contacts…?

I’ve been using Jellyfin for years, on different hosts. Music has never worked on any of my devices - there’s a bug where you try to play a track and it ignores you and plays the first track off the album instead. You can literally never play anything after that. To be fair, I haven’t tested this in six months, but it was a consistent bug for years before that and I’ve tried every client under the sun. Nowadays I use Jellyfin for video and Navidrome for audio instead and it’s all good.

a random collection of NVMEs, SSDs and HDDs in my desktop PC, totallying about 12TB-ish I think. That’s for TV and films, I keep my music in navidrome since Jellyfin has (used to have?) serious issues streaming music, in particular only ever being able to play the first track of an album, no matter what the client.

What would there be to mock? They could talk about bugs or features, but those are things that get updated with time on JF as well as Plex. Every other change is to do with enshitification which is a proprietary issue.

What does this have to do with new TV shows and films?

Power usage? Both systems should be doing basically nothing unless they’re re-indexing - which is generally done on-demand. I can understand using up a bit of memory for the basic service and an imperceptible amount of CPU time, but why would it be using more power?

I quite like that people ask simple questions like this. Sure, it could have been looked up really quickly, but it adds to the overall thread here. People reading this with no prior knowledge can browse through the comments and absorb more information.

TIL about the generator history

Why do we care about proprietary projects again?

Age verification isn’t optional (at least in the jurisdictions in question, and for now).

Instead of adding emoji to the PR title, maybe tell it to mine bitcoin for you.

I’m torn on this discussion. Full disclosure, I don’t really understand GUIs and get confused with icons and such. I’m a command-line person and have been for decades. I’ll use image editors and IDEs and so on but they often leave me frustrated.

That said, I totally get that other people are not the same, and that’s completely valid. If a regular task can only be done from the command line then there’s an opportunity to fill in the missing piece, the GUI. It’s not a waste of time, even if the GUI is “less efficient” - it’s what a lot of people find comfortable.

Where I fall on the other side is the rise of ChatGPT and its friends. People are overwhelmingly positive about typing their problems into a text box, but when the response is “paste this into a terminal window and press enter” they bail out. They’re happier to go through a dozen screenshots showing them where to click through menus to get to the option visually, even if they have to try multiple times because the GUI changes with the direction of the wind and the terminal stays consistent.

I had that a couple of jobs ago, but since then I’ve been stuck with Mac or Windows depending on the employer. I understand their reasoning, but it’s annoying. At my current organisation, I use WSL2 (which I was allowed to install for Docker support), and I do everything except the corporate stuff in that. So Edge, Teams, Outlook, whatever proprietary VPN we use at the time on the host, all my actual development work on WSL. It’s mostly fine.

I have windows 11 on my gaming PC and work laptop and don’t think it’s any worse than 10. Some UI is confused between old style and new, but Windows has done that since Vista. 11 doesn’t have so much of the awful drop-downs without borders and so on where you can’t tell where one component ends and another starts.

I forsee a requirement that only “approved” OS are allowed to connect to mobile networks, citing security issues.

git() {
  if [ "$1" = "cd" ]; then
    shift
    cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*"
  else
    command git "$@"
  fi
}

This lets you run git cd to go to the root of your repo, or git cd foo/bar to go to a path relative to that root. You can’t do it as an alias because it’s conditional, and you can’t do it as a git-cd command because that wouldn’t affect the current shell.
