It always makes me chuckle a bit how internet censorship (at least in western countries and on a personal level (school and work networks excluded)) is almost always just done through DNS. I mean I’m sure not going to be the one to tell them how laughably ineffective that is, but it’s just funny.

Why’s it a static gif

many engineers do not know how to effectively communicate with management when something will result in terribly written software and just do it anyway.

I imagine this is partly a result of bad and misinformed managers too though. There’s a lot out there who have 0 clue wtf you do, just that you make computer do thing yet still act like they know your job better than you

Isn’t this the same country that made the drinking age 21 because of car accidents?

I think they’re still wrapped in foil in Australia, though I haven’t had any in a few years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any eggs come wrapped in plastic, although the bags the foil eggs are in are plastic

I briefly listened to podcasts on Spotify til I realised they inserted ads despite me being a paying member. I don’t really listen to podcasts at all anymore, but when I do I usually listen to YouTube ones since adblock + sponsorblock = zero ads and interruptions

Spotify inserts their own ads into every podcast, regardless of whether you have premium or not. Then on top of that the podcasters themselves usually insert either ads or sponsorships into it too. I’ve seen countless podcasts do this now. In the worst cases that feels something like this: ad (by spotify) > introduction and depending on the podcaster potentially ads there too > barely any content > sponsorship > barely any content > ad (by spotify) > barely any content > podcast break and either sponsorship or ads by the podcaster > repeat for 2nd half

How does that work for people with non US/UK accents? I ask because all of the transcription software I’ve seen will work absolutely fantastically on even the most garbled and redneck American accents, and the vast majority of British ones too, but as soon as you get to Scottish/Welsh/German/Australian/really anywhere elses accents, it has a complete breakdown and you can’t make sense of it at all

Why you got beef with Mozi? They chill

There’s also TubeArchivist which is sort of like a self hosted YouTube. It can pull videos automatically from channels you subscribe to and download them through yt-dlp and has some organisational capabilities too

To be honest it’s entirely because Plex was what I first discovered and setup, and I liked it enough to pay for a pass

Just a heads up you posted this 3 times

That sounds like a dream. We’re there any specific tutorials you followed and could recommend or did you just try to click things into place until it all worked smoothly?

I like this approach
