Are people downloading youtube videos to their Plex/Jellyfin and watching them locally?

Of course they are, and you can stream the media or download it via many other means including youtube-dl.

They also still actively thwart users who are on a CG-NAT'ed connection so I ponder if the legality is now starting to bog them down.

I have, and that's my point.

I'm a lowly drone pilot that isn't really made to understand what those lights mean but did out of my sheer curiosity.

But the average pedestrian is going to take some, teaching?

Possibly, and I'd be interested in some sort of 360° LED on top of a vehicle to indicate to pedestrians and other drivers alike of its (de)acceleration.

But jamming some non standard colours in what is a long term understanding on the front of a vehicle I can't really get with and would like to see the impact to people with partial / colour blindness with using such a system.

Like, does the average pedestrian know what the green and red lights mean on an aircraft? I bet not.

Like someone said in the hnews comments, this might work for auto transmission but with manual gearing you've got people using engine braking on hills.

Also like stated in the article the colouring is going to be an issue and trying to see some green lights whilst the headlights are on (full beam fog lights perhaps too?) doesn't seem practicable to me.

But in general I think you’re probably right that literacy can decrease with disuse

Maths is a really good example of this.

At one point I really enjoyed doing long division in my head but as time goes on (and you don't exercise that sponge...), it becomes lazy.

I'm finding it confusing as an old fart that they can't distinguish the terminology even thou they're on the Fediverse.

Amazing 😁

but IDK if I'm great at it.

Simples is best, hands down. Maybe some tooltips wouldn't go amiss on your demo page?

But as someone else pointed out, a link to the GitHub either in the header or footer of your demo page would be ace too. It was the first thing I looked for this morning seeing your posts and had to come back to the comments to find it 🙈

Keep up the great work, and I shared between our nerd group and they have eyeballs on it. Seems a no brainer for teams collaborating online where we've got used of shitty Slack 🤢 Dicksword whatever.

ninjaedit: if you want some help Android app wise, give us a ping. I have a few bored devs lurking looking for app ideas ;)

I know she's your ex and all but you haven't shared / set them an servarr stack / Jellyfin up yet?

Booooo, Pirates of the high seas share their knowledge regardless of the person :p

Yeah, we do 12 hour shifts on a continental pattern and just finishing right now means I've got to grab a shower / food / minor chores and it feels like I don't get time after work to even think.

However I love my long weekends off and won't have to go back in until Tues night, giving me a three and half weekend and like it states in the article allows you to take up hobbies (some of being weather dependent) at your choosing. I could never work M-F ever again even thou the hours do suck a little. But, there is also the bonus of simply booking two shifts off and I get a whole week off.

I love it, and along with the folder they get dumped into being R/O means Immich (and by extension me.....) can't fugg up the timeline ;)

SMB (the protocol) works across devices and OS's, and I use SMBSync2 to dump my photos to my NAS + off site

This has worked fine for me for years even thou the app isn't on the Play Store anymore, and is fairly granular in regards to file types and where you wanna back them up

Customers' photos and documents stored online will no longer be protected by end-to-end encryption.

 

I've told qbit to exclude those files and many other extensions from someone's helpful comment on here previously, but the stack keeps on grabbing and seeding them, which the latter I'm a little unhappy about sharing malware.

While all the boxes on my network have no sign of Windows to get exploited it does worry me about another family members arrr stack because there is a Windows laptop down there, but thankfully not used for media consumption.

Help?


edit: big thanks to kiszkot@feddit.nu for pointing me in line separators instead of comma separated exclusions!
