  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • I got Plex set up for my media server literally the day before they hiked the prices. I was weary about the $150 lifetime and couldn't afford the new price when they changed it so I went to jellyfin.

    Turns out jellyfin was everything I wanted and free. Bought 5 years worth of unlimited hosting and a domain name for less than a month of Plex and now I'm well on my way to a pirate media empire.

    Just wish I had anyone other than my spouse to share if with... Or that I could figure out fucking MusicBrainz...

  • It used to mean that the idealized version of people you see from a distance isn't necessarily going to jive with who they actually are. They may seem mythical and turn out to be mundane. They may seem genuine and turn out to be farce. It's better to let them live as an image in your heart than to resolve them into all that a person is in reality.

    Unfortunately, as so many things have gone, even that is too optimistic for the world I find myself in. Not a song, not a character, not a book or ideal has managed to remain unsullied by the realization that we've culturally agreed that sex crimes are just ok. Especially against children. Don't meet your heroes, they'll probably rape you.

    If someone change their last name woudl it cost them job oppetutines?

  • That's such a niche reference that I'm genuinely shocked to see anyone else make it lol that made my day

  • What is your favourite Pokemon?

    Jump

  • I was always glad I didn't have friends to trade with because Hunter was so much cooler than gengar

  • What is your favourite Pokemon?

    Jump

  • Absolutely, if I were a Pokemon character lampent would be my picachu.

  • What is your favourite Pokemon?

    Jump

  • Haunter is my original favorite but of all the Pokemon I've seen it's gotta be a toss up between Lampent, Sinistea, and gimmighoul.

    If you can't tell, ghost type is my thing.

  • First off, all of those are actually normal names. I've met two Wayne families in the last year, unrelated. Most super hero secret identity names were picked to be very common.

    Second, you're not likely to lose any job opportunities unless the name you pick is genuinely uncomfortable for people to say. If you change your name to "Joe Fuctphace" you're not going to be taken seriously.

    Third, from personal experience, having a fake sounding name actually gets me more opportunities across the board. I changed my name in marriage to take my spouse's last name and make the name I've been using for ages official. I'm frequently told that it's such a cool name, places are more likely to get my order right when I call them in, and I'm more memorable in the interview process. My favorite interaction with strangers is when someone is like, "I love you name," and I get to respond, "Thanks! I picked it myself!" Normally it leads to a fun chat and occasionally a new friend.

  • What is the coolest website you’ve visited that no one knows about?

    Jump

  • It had some amazing things going on for a long while. I heard a lot of it fell apart around 2014 when the gold finally hit true hyperinflation and they tried to introduce a 3rd currency.

  • TIL the original Mad Max owes its unique style to the leftover cameras that McQueen's movie The Getaway left in Australia and no one wanted

    Jump

  • Honestly the story behind mad max is almost as wild as the story in mad max. It really is a wild ride.

  • gaiaonline.com is still up and running. That was my jam way back in 2011.

    Jump

  • So it's like co-op web indexing?

  • What is the coolest website you’ve visited that no one knows about?

    Jump

  • I have absolutely no idea what this is or what it's supposed to do but it's incredibly fun to poke at

  • What's your favorite thing to do with another person that doesn't involve your genitals?

    Jump

  • My dude you just need better people. My spouse and I gab about stuff like this all the time.

  • TIL steak Canadian was not invented in Canada and almost no one in Canada knows what it is.

    Jump

  • Had to look it up, it's a breakfast sandwich from England. "Beef Canadian“ slices which are apparently roast beef or something similar, fried mushrooms and onions, cheddar cheese, and either ketchup or maple syrup.

    Honestly, not too bad sounding. Put it on rye or pumpernickel, maybe a thick roll and pan fried like a melt.

  • How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

    Jump

  • This is something that killed walking dead for me. There was a whole thing where they're in the prison and the zombies outside manage to mass up enough that they break the fence. If they took shifts, 4 hrs a day with a spear and head stabbed the zombies they would never have gotten to a critical mass.

    Infact, I did the math years ago for my ideal zombie escape zone. It would only take 8 people and a month to effectively eliminate the entire regional population if we move in 4 hour shifts. So baring the entire nearest metropolitan city showing up at once with a psychic level awareness of our presence and a deep need for revenge, all you really need is consistency and a schedule.

  • Carrots

    Jump

  • Fun fact, baby carrots aren't babies at all. They take any carrot that doesn't fit their classic 🥕 shape and put it through a machine that cuts them to length and lathes them into the tiny rounded dowels we know and love. The inventor of the machine was inspired by his wife wishing she didn't have to cut and peal carrots for recipes.

    They're not babies, they're the dismembered bits of any healthy plant that dares not conform to the advertised, mass appeal standards of consumer products, mechanically processed and sold to us with a marketable name.

  • How adventurous are you with music?

    Jump

  • I honestly don't know anymore. I though I had a really diverse music taste and I especially love abnormal noises in music, but then I used musicbrainz to categorize all my music and found out the basically everything I listen to has the Avantgarde genre. I don't know if that's supposed to mean I'm on the far edge of adventure and listening to only the most experiential of music or if I'm so narrow in my niche that I only listen to music considered too weird to categorize.

  • What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?

    Jump

  • Had to look this up, holy fuck that goes from 0-100 fast...

  • How do you stop arguing with people on social media?

    Jump

  • But actually the big thing that helped me was sitting down and assessing why I wanted to correct this stuff. It never gave me any satisfaction, it never lead to anything I liked, and a good deal of it was likely venting trauma from being talked down to all my life. Once I put it together it just kind of stopped happening.
