This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and ‘one’) and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I’d expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).

Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.

As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn’t just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer

no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.

Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.

Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have “problems” (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).

For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.

“obscure Emby”… You don’t get out much, do you.

Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn’t require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.

It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.

Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.

I’d pick prohibited transaction. I live in AU. NYSE won’t let me trade there.

Either that or “hate” - all redditors can get involved, but not you because you are not from the US. Sounds like communism.

For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!

If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!

Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!

There are many kinds…

They are is incorrect, and the word “so” is superfluous.

dont know about traditional board games, but if you have a 3D printer look for “3d printer [game name] pieces”

connect 4, mouse trap to name a couple.

I bet boggle and stuff like that are out there as well.

As I have said in the past, there are plenty of good free ones, and there are also spotweb (spotnab) sites that are great as long as your a fast (ie dcma).

Also the “arrrs” were designed with usenet first, its not an afterthought.

if you want to get access to good indexers, then yeah you may need to wait until you get am invite or an invite period opens, but you have to do this, its just how they operate.

you can do torrents and usenet in your arrr, at the same time. So nothing stops you from having both.

but the SPEED AND RELEASES youll see on usenet are unsurpassed and probably at least a week earlier than on your torrent sites.

Also you can run your own indexer for usenet (wont be as good as some because it wont deal with obfuscated posts, but as a backup it will be fine)

Id suggest you go down the rabbit hole and decide for yourself if you like it, you can always cancel.

oh and usenet is encrypted (if you enable it, ie port 563) so not much chance of knowing what your are doing. No more than a VPN company letting on to what a user was doing.

i should give jellyfin another shot, its been some years. When i tried it last, it was not a nice experience. But i refused to use plex after it required login for even offline access (i wonder how many people remember that. If you lost internet access, you couldnt watch plex)

so i switched to Emby, which is still closed source, but didnt have the bullshit plex requirements. The advantage was [sic] that being closed it could offer proprietary stuff like codecs or DTS. (dts and similar were only available on plex and on nVidia TV device)

Everything i do (as much as possible) is oss, but some things just cant.

Ill try jellyfin again in the next month or so and see how its doing.

Welp, their threat doesn’t affect me. I have no care for that barbaric country.

Besides, I’ve blocked everything geo-labelled as Russia anyway, it makes for much easier firewall logs. Honestly “the West” as russians say, should flat out block the entire country to our internet.

This would stop a lot of hacking and exploiting, and they’re basically dictating everything to their people at this point, so let them just become a new N.Korea.

They want our tech, they don’t want to co-op or collab with the West and everything they have/do is inferior. Cut them off at the neck.

(Im biased, my mother’s parents were Polish and Ukraine, and I’ve been to both places many times and russia is an arsehat in general)

you why can join be the a navy pirate when?

I use the chat that is available in Thunderbird, my email client. It can connect to various types of chat (I dont remember them all) like Matrix.

Yes, and this was my point.

Take a word such as “Immutable” - an item or object that is incapable of change. Coming from the word “Mutable” which is the opposite - something that can be changed.

These words are from the Latin “mutare” which means “to change”.

So if you can see the irony of this, the word immutable should not exist. (and words like transmute and commute probably should not either - but they do suggest “mutare”.)

“a bit”? This is totally out of control, and the mod should lose all privleges, to being a mod.

the other part is a person whom speaks english as a second language. Its not always a clear translation, particularly with English since the language is bastardised from many languages, and many “grammar rules” can be broken, by our own design.

As a mod you should be amenable to that.

Free Download Manager is okay for me for the occasional torrent i grab, otherwise its great for just downloading in general. (window only i think)

however most of my activity is in usenet/nzb and ive settled on nzbget for this work. I ran sabnzbd for a long time (and concurrently), but it seems that nzbget works for everything no probs.

Ive been out of the torrent game for a long while, and dont know the current status of projects like qtorrent.

KMSPico still works, but take care of where you get it from.

Stay safe.
