Ehh. Depending on the industry and issue, thats wholley justified, not only from a “least privilege” sense, but from a regulatory one.

Step over into cybersecurity and you end up spending all day clamping down on usability because the company has legal requirements to meet to continue to exist. Many of the things we are compelled to do are overeager and overly pedantic, but it’s either “do it, pay up, or shut down.” The execs tend to prefer “do it” in my experience, which makes everyone’s day a bit more tiresome.

So its entirely possible that was out of their hands.

“Please god come throw your body in the pile we use to fill up the holes. We are very nearly out of unwitting flesh here.”

I was Haskalling for that one. I need to Go and shake off the Rust, maybe work on my Lisp to make sure people React well.

Node what I’m saying?

Maybe part of a gaming curriculum?

Like, “learn some code so that when the devs are crying you can make small talk?”

I worked with a guy who had 5 sets of the same work clothes. Wore the same outfit everyday, and yes it was all black head to toe.

I never did verify if he actually had 5 sets of clothes or just liked washing one pair everyday, but he never stank so whichever it was worked out.

You need their usb irc adapter too, but with both it should do the trick.

They have really nice raspi4 metal cases too, but they will block wifi if you use it. They work great when wired in though.

Flirc skip one + flirc ir usb. Great remote combo for kodi.

Buy a Raspi 4 or 5 if you can get it. Canakit has slightly overpriced but compreshsive kits. Digikey tends to get raspi 5s faster then other stores if you want the latest and greatest, but it’s a b2b company that is kinda annoying to buy from as a retail customer. A 4gb model is all you need from either gen. Keep to a 32gb or larger sd card.

Install libreelec as the operating system. They have a usb program that will flash a usb drive to do this for you. It will automatically boot into kodi, which in is a linux based media center. You can then point kodi to any file server you have, or plug in a usb drive into the raspi with your movies/shows. Kodi aslo has great addons, so you can add things like youtube/nebula/etc.

For advanced use, setup jellyfin on a home server, then use the jellyfin kodi addon to sync all your media. This is really nice when you have kodi setup on multiple tvs, as it will sync when you pause shows/movies, can auto skip intros, stream live tv and make sure all your systems are up to date about with what media you have available.

For a great universal remote, buy a flirc ir recivever that plugs into usb and a flirc skip remote. Flirc is a great company in this space.

Firewalla’s are great. All the features of pfsense and then some, in a fine little hardware form factor.

Heads up if you have the purple though : they had a bad hardware batch that had a soldering flaw on the lan side nic that would eventually make your upload reduce to KB/s. I replaced far too many waps before I found a thread about it and realized it was the firewall.

Replacement was simple and free, but they should have been more proactive reaching out to purple buyers.

You know what’s even better than milking it for 6hrs of OT? Saying its “to hard” to the victim, going home and then lying about doing 6hrs of OT and getting paid anyway.

Cops lie about OT systemically. Its absolutely rampant. The only consequence they ever get is either a few hrs suspension without pay or fired, and most states are happy to hire them next door immediately so they can do it again.

It’s called bracketing in electrical engineering as well for troubleshooting.

They host incredibly tiny text files. We are talking in the single KB range. Even serving millions of these a day is minor load to current hosting environments.

Most modern webpages load the equivalent of 1000s of subtitles to every user on every page load, including small sites like personal blogs.

I would be surprised if their hosting costs were even in the $1000s/month instead of $100s.

Thats the likely reason they don’t share the costs. It’s that cheap to run. Even asking for donations might be pushing it. Demanding payment? Bullshit.

They just need a paid account and they can keep appending to it.

"Open"subtitles has like a 1k dowload/day limit, which should cover most media.

Kodi has a plugin called “plexkodiconnect” that uses plex as the media backend for kodi front ends. It basically replaces the kodi media db, giving you updates/sync/resume/intro skip/etc the same way plex does. Plex runs on a server as normal, and can be used however you normally use it as well. Youre still able to use plex apps on whatever devices you like.

You get the best of both worlds with some light setup.

Id say they did argue that is IP not being ID, as the gist if the argument is that “yes the IP shows the subscriber, and yes the subscribers IP did violate copyright, but you have not proven whether it was the subscriber or someone else that shared the movie.” They even go further in saying that the “subscriber is not liable for other peoples actions just because it’s their connection.”

The breathtaking hubris of even laying off “the guy who always gets things done ahead of schedule.”

They were so good at sex changes, they finished up.
