I’ve found tagging is crucial for images of any kind.

Then any app that supports tagging can easily find things by your tags.

What’s an “apple apple” device? 😁

Yea, Jellyfin on iOS hsed to be buggy. Seems much better these days, and there’s also Finamp for music

So don’t expose it to the internet - which should be the default stance for anything.

The internet was (mistakenly and intentionally) built without security - that doesn’t mean we should just accept that, but instead build everything with our own security.

Numerous mesh VPN solutions exist: Hamachi has been around since at leas 2006. NeoRouter since at least 2012. Then we have Wireguard and Tailscale, and others.

Business build their own tunnels between locations, using routers/gateways with that capability. Consumer routers from Linksys could do this in 2006.

There’s zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.

In closing NO SOFTWARE is free of bugs. With Plex you get to pay for those bugs and still have software that depends on a connection even though you’re hosting and viewing your own media, locally.

You wanna denigrate Jellyfin, at least be honest about the pros/cons between the different solutions.

Cloud costs, monthly.

No, it wasn’t.

It was to speed access to data. Unless you have some evidence the researchers who work with electromechanics at the time were thinking “how can we replace humans”, rather than “how can we represent 80 columns of data electromechanically?”

No need for this nonsensical hyperbole.

Maybe, maybe not.

Solid objects aren’t always stronger, strangely enough. I’m no mechanical engineer, so I can’t explain it. I assume it has to do with how stress is tranferred.

Because I cook, and need that stuff back. I don’t have all day, I gotta cook again in a few hours.

Hahaha.

I just replaced a 20 year old dishwasher with it’s newer equivalent: it has a grand total of 3 cycle options.

Screw this surveillance nonsense. Why does a dishwasher need connectivity? It’s a box that sprays water.

A friend has one that the fastest cycle is 1.5 hours. One cycle is four hours… Wtf?

I’m on a 5, and will be until this hardware fails.

Oh fuck, next door. Hey, let’s do Facebook with your next door neighbors.

What a shit show

A script that even Microsoft uses?

Excel.

Show me an OSS alternative to Excel that actually does tables, one of the most used, basic functions in excel.

I use tables every day for things like:I have a list of movies, sort them by producer. Or by production date. Or main actor. All these require a a single click on a column, something Open Office devs refuse to ever implement.

I use Linux every day for my servers, but not as my desktop. There’s too much stuff like this that I don’t have time for.

Guess what, people can have the Windows UI without doing anything beyond what they’re already doing.

1. You sound like you’ve never used it. It’s still just Windows, but because it’s for enterprise it doesn’t have the consumer version bloat.

See how that works?

Show me a Linux spreadsheet app that does tables, which I use every day.

I’m still running an XP box… Guess I’m dumb. Smh

Security isn’t one thing, it’s layers.

That must be the VM. Just build your own VM using a Windows ISO. I have a bunch of them, some still not activated.

It was probably designed like that because line printers were the thing in the early days of Windows.

S3E4

This is why I picked up an old SFF desktop. Idle power is about 12 watts. I can live with that - my previous box idled at 100w.
