They made it in 2024. The results of abstaining or protest voting were obvious, and these idiots did it anyway. And here we are.

Why yes, I would in fact like to write a file bigger than 4GB in 2025. Com'on flash drive manufacturers, get your shit together and format in exFAT already -_- in c/[email protected]

It's not like formatting it to another filesystem is remotely difficult. Hell you could even make multiple partitions and a software raid, LVM, whatever.

If you need a different filesystem, then do that.

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.

Merkur safety razor, derby extra blades in bulk, shave soap in a mug with a brush.

Republican state lawmakers galvanize to attack same-sex marriage in c/[email protected]
[–] knobbysideup 2 points 3 days ago

That's my point. It shouldn't be tied to marriage, but should be a contract between anybody who needs it vs dealing with everything alone if single.

How about we remove marriage from all laws and make it household contracts instead? Why shouldn't I be able to put my brother on my health insurance, for example?

We are so focused on gay rights to marry that we are missing the actual problem which is simply the legal benefits a marriage provides.

It also had the signs of a phishing test. You'd be in trouble responding to those, too, even just to say fuck off.

Running a mail infrastructure properly is a complex problem. I would not recommend it for most people. There's a reason most companies outsource it these days.

Good. DHS and especially TSA has been nothing but pork barrel politics since inception.

You assume they want it. They get their donor money and trading perks no matter who is in power.

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.
