Why are tiny pieces of plastic so expensive? in c/whitepeopletwitter
[–] knobbysideup 36 points 8 hours ago (7 children)

I've never understood the Lego model thing with very specific pieces. The original point was to be creative and make whatever you could.

Sysadmins, how do you store and manage passwords? in c/[email protected]
[–] knobbysideup 2 points 1 day ago

For actual sysadmin stuff? Ansible vaults. Things that are managed otherwise either in ssh blowfish encrypted files or the company 1password thing (not my choice)

I may need to upsize from my TKL in c/[email protected]

Full size gets in the way for no good reason. TKL is the best. The others force you to do too much weird shit just to get common keys.

Trump ‘not briefed’ on four missing US soldiers hours after search was announced in c/[email protected]

He's not doing anything but blindly using his sharpie on whatever his handlers put in front of him.

How about investigating why they were using signal and not all in prison for it.

Not physically being in a scif using SIPRnet is not a fucking glitch you fucking clown.

Trump pulls security clearances for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton in c/[email protected]

Because they can act in an advisory role based on their own experience in office. Not that the toddler in chief would ever need any of it to begin with.

The bigger problem is he isn't the one actually coming up withany of this shit. He's just the one with the sharpie. Trump goes away tomorrow and this will continue.

Being happy means not needing to have a job.

The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease Is About to Get Worse | By retracting foreign aid, President Trump could make tuberculosis untreatable again. in c/[email protected]

I went to an RV show last spring to get ideas and a rack for my van. Some redneck gave me covid. It induced RA as a reaction and today I can barely walk despite all the rheumatology meds.

Fuck all of these people.

Ubuntu for a kiosk is really dumb though. I guess it's still better than windows.

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)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by knobbysideup to c/[email protected]

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?
