In grade school music class they had us sing "someone's in the kitchen with Dina strumming on the ol' banjo" and "jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton"

Pentagon to temporarily deploy hundreds of marines to Los Angeles, reports say in c/[email protected]

The military fights wars, not unarmed protestors. Trump just declared war on our own citizens.

The military does not train to control crowds. It trains to fight wars. Trump has declared war on our own people.

I agree for the army. National guard? Nope. As redneck as it gets.

No, it's not. Over means you want a response. Out means the conversation is over. Over and out is not a thing except in movies and is stupid and nonsensical.

The days of the palm pilot with an IR blaster were awesome. I'm sure there is a USB device that can be used with phones.

What do you use as email app on Android, specifically for Gmail? in c/[email protected]
[–] knobbysideup 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Nine. I use it with my own dovecot/sendmail server and with Gmail for work.

It's not maintained but still works better than the others for me.

I hope musk shuts down X in retaliation.

Dipshit dementia don needs to be removed from office. Then again, the puppet masters will have even more power then.

Trailers for movies and shows on Plex "Content is unavailable in your country" (self.plex)

See title. Trailers for my local content all play fine. If I want to play a trailer to see if interested in stuff on plex's own streaming service, I get that error.

The movie itself will play fine. The trailers will not.

My Plex server bypasses my pihole.

This is US. Comcast business class line with static IPs.

Happens on all of my clients. Phone. Shield. Onn Android TV.

I have a Plex pass.

WTF?

Tidal Replacement (self.plex)
 

Now that tidal integration is dead, a good option I've used before is livexone (formerly slacker). While i loved having everything in one place, I prefer not having to buy/rip or download the huge catalogs available elsewhere. And now that music seems to be going away in plex clients in the roadmap as well, i decided to find another solution sooner.

The ui isnt the best, but is far from the worst. How I use it:

  • star an artist to add them to your list of artists
  • then immediately also add that artist to each custom station you want them to be a part of
  • while playing your custom stations, use the dot menu to fine tune how much outside of the station can be pulled in. This, imo, is live's killer feature. Similar music is based on the whole list of artists in the station, not just a single artist.
  • grow your artists and playlists by browsing related.

In addition to this, livex also has genres, curated lists, new music lists, and podcasts.

It also has apps that do not suck on android auto and android tv.

I'm already not missing plexamp + tidal, so I wanted to share.

Shout out to rclone (self.linuxadmin)

I needed to move a lot of stuff from dropbox to an AWS EFS today. The dbxcli tool does not do full directories, nor does it differentiate files from directories. Its 'ls' output is far from ideal for machine parsing as well.

I had resigned myself to spending most of my day writing something to parse and download recursively.

Then I stumbled on the fact that rclone supports dropbox as a remote. Hallelujah!!! Within minutes I was cloning things from dropbox to my EFS.

I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I am tasked to move things from a transfer-hostile cloud system.

Tidal integration going away (sh.itjust.works)
 

This royally sucks for me. I like having my own local library integrated with Tidal.

Android Auto won't connect with screen off (self.android)
 

I don't know if this is an android auto problem, or an android 14 (crdroid 10) problem. Wired usb connection. Have tried different cables with same effect. I did not have this problem before (Android 13). My phone has AA 10.9.634644.

If the phone is locked when connecting to the car, I get a connect/disconnect loop. This continues until I unlock the phone, and then things are fine after a few seconds, and I can then lock the phone again.

If I connect to the car with the phone unlocked until AA connects, and then lock the phone, everything is fine.

I have android auto configured to connect with the phone locked, and have disabled USB debugging.

Is there a way to do this?
