Fair in the instance of Plex, but I’m happy to pay for the feature with Home Assistant.

You didn’t mention US imperialism once. C-

People are free to take some rando on the Internet up on their offer.

I’d be fine paying $25 a year to not maintain that shit myself. Plus the money should contribute to development efforts.

Aren’t they charging because it passes through their servers so you don’t have to expose your server directly to the public Internet?

Like, I pay $5 a month to access my Home Assistant setup remotely, although I could do it cheaper with my own AWS setup. But the money goes to development, so I’m happy to contribute.

I’m glad I really only use it for music, but the fire TV app works decently well. Better than the fucking Netflix app, at least.

Where’s the tankie who will explain how Putin is the good guy?

He was a fantastic boss like 90% of the time. He’s the reason I went from a customer service rep to senior systems engineer in under 5 years.

He was a gun collector, not because he jerked off to the 2A, but because he thought guns were cool pieces of machinery, and shooting them was fun. He also had his own remote parcel of land with a proper backstop that was his gun range.

But, dude was bipolar 1, and his manic persona was a huge cunt. Luckily I only had to deal with it 3 times, and one of those times he instantly chilled out when I told him I had ADHD which caused the negative perception that I didn’t care (this is around the time I was last promoted too)

Too bad he pissed off the C-suite, or I’d be IT director there now.

At my first Help desk job we decommissioned hard drives by taking them to the range and shooting them with my boss’s aircraft gun converted into a rifle (he was a former Air Force plane mechanic and kept a decommissioned barrel)

My current job is lame since we just stick them in a degausser.

Gayness is a spectrum. I’m like 99% straight, but if Ryan Reynolds was offering… That would be hard to pass up.

Yup. After taking a few years off after my shoulder surgery I started back at basically 0 weight, or 2.5lb if 0 didn’t make sense. I did 4 sets of 25 reps for each exercise with perfect form, and only stepped up the weight by 2.5lb when I could do all 100 reps without discomfort.

I’m still taking it slow, but I’m back up to 1 plate as my 15rm with squats, deadlifts, and bench press without pain. Hopefully I’ll be back to my pre-surgery 15rm of 2 plates soon.

Edit: I never actually made the point I was building up to. That point was that I just now got to the point where my major muscle groups feel the workout. I’ve spent about 8 months getting to this point because all of the supporting muscle groups need to get strong before I can actually lift heavy again.

But I can now curl a full 5 gallon bucket of water 8 times with perfect form because I built up everything else that supports the weight.

Right? Guys should just use telepathy to know whether a potential partner would be interested in them.

That kinda sounds like when I tell people to unplug their router for a full minute because if I tell them 15 seconds they’ll only wait 5.

If your QA process can let known security flaws into production, then you need to redesign your QA process.

Also, no one ever said that the person generating 500 lines of code isn’t reviewing it themselves.

No one ever said push it to production without a code review.

You’re free to set up post filters so you don’t see content you don’t care for. Or move to a platform that isn’t largely US based.

Our cancer has definitely metastasized.

I love using this tactic. When I was in the scouts, my troop was attached to a church like many are. One day we were going into the church to do a merit badge class, and the scout leader who hated me (because I was basically him at that age) told me to take off my hat.

Of course, being a teenager who loved challenging authority, I asked why. He said because it was disrespectful to God. I asked him who said it was disrespectful, and he told me it was in the Bible.

I picked up a Bible, handed it to him, and asked him to show me the passage.

I didn’t get to do merit badge class that day.

There are absolutely varying levels of censorship, so saying “everyone censors so this is fine,” is disingenuous.
