Have a docker-compose to share? I have Plex and love it too, but that "add to watchlist" type setup seems very interesting. Any links to point me in the right direction?

I used to use sonarr and radarr in the past but used those directly, not via Plex, and to be honest I sometimes ran into issues with them but generally they worked fine.
You mean AAG? :) both Facebook and Netflix have slid dramatically from their prior glory.
Vague. Oh well.
Might not be the answer you’re looking for, but Apple TV + Infuse is a fantastic media player. It has support for basically every codec so your server doesn’t have to be beefy — you can just direct stream everything. I stream full 4K UHD rips this way. And it supports Jellyfin, naturally.
Just a heads-up if you need subtitles, for me and apparently many others with Jellyfin the subs get easily out of sync. The issue in Github[0] has been open for 2.5 years and seems dead.. Only option seems to be re-transcoding and burning the subtitles into the video (which is an option, but consumes some system resources).

Questions and Answers on New EU Air Quality Rules
It just would seem like a more interesting question if this post was a link promoting your private thoughts rather than a generic link to the public blog of one of the largest companies on earth. But maybe the question wasn’t really related to the post in particular.
Fair enough. I just find the steering wheel nag really really annoying. The future is eye tracking or a combination of eye and wheel nag (maybe every 5 minutes or something)
Aren't you spending a lot of money downloading the database through Realtime Database though? How does that compare to the cost of the built in backup?
Somewhat, they are typically generated by the analysts whose job it is to follow the company.

However, Those analysts typically get their numbers in large part by talking to the investor relations/CFO of these companies so the estimates are usually pretty good.
If you have a bank account with $1000 last year, you have $1000 today.

If you had a Celsius account with 10 BTC last year, you have 0 BTC today.

Pretty different situation.
From a practical business perspective, the falling prices of batteries may not be ideal from an investor's perspective. If I buy $100M of batteries and the price drops 50% in five years, I just "lost" 50 million dollars. You'd have to be at a point where the proceeds to storage exceed the depreciation of the product in order to pencil out, I think. So a lot of storage that could be built probably won't be built until the technology war shakes out.

>CATL is already claiming $40-$50/kwh for sodium ion batteries that begin production next year.

Tried to look this up, but didn't find anything. Where's that?
The people "who have nothing to do with the company" are the ones who buy or sell the stock, and end up dictating what the price action would be post earnings call.

So you're technically correct, but it doesn't change the fact that the estimates done by analysts materially influence stock performance.
Wow! Probably similar numbers for concrete. It's exponential growth.

The thing about exponential growth is it can't continue for too long. As observers of Moore's Law will understand, eventually you run out of resources or into other physical limits.

However, I'm quite confident that we can keep innovating and growth will continue in one form or another. I don't think Elon Musk is correct that human population will collapse. All it takes is one subgroup to keep reproducing above the replacement rate, and after enough generations they will come to dominate and overall growth will continue. It's pretty much the law of life - expand to consume all available resources, be that food, space, energy, oxygen, whatever. You see it in bacteria, in fish, in mammals large and small, and of course in humans.

There will be lot's of challenges there, and lots of need for innovation so we can handle growth without destroying our remaining wild spaces and ecosystems on which we depend. Humans haven't figured out how to grow sustainably yet.
You can do the same with Jellyfin, to some extent. The free mobile app is the cherry on top.
Or suppose you have a t-shirt printing business.
That’s not really related to being innovative. There are companies that have been refining zipper manufacturing longer than Apple has existed, but I’m sure you’d consider apple more innovative than them.
No, because I don't care about averages. I care about minimum, and maybe maximum.

The worst case for representative democracy is literally Hitler. The second worst (you could argue that Hitler was a unique set of circumstances) is the dysfunctional German, Italian, or French states.

The best case is probably Switzerland (party proportions barely change, I assume because the power of parliament is diminished because of elements of direct democracy that Swiss practice).

What's the worst case for first-past-the-post democracy?

Apple would definitely let them to get into audiobooks, Spotify just doesn’t want to give them the cut. As a platform owner Spotify takes a cut from the artists, aren’t they playing the same game as Apple?

If they somehow get regulators to allow 3rd party payments on App Store, that would be a terrible thing for the users. I don’t want to start giving out my credit card number to every random company I want to purchase content from.

The UX issues Apple rules create are legit concerns though, but it just kinda feels they’re used as a veil to get to the bottom line, which is to get around the IAP system. It’s always about the money.
It doesn't absolve anyone, it's a distraction
Wow the Security research device looks awesome! https://security.apple.com/research-device
I agree that it is not necessarily clear cut, and your example is a good one but we have to start somewhere and I'm not sure that this is material to the conversation at hand anyway except that if the corporations are state-owned then it's just even more the government's fault that they're polluting.

Of course new configurations of so-called private and public entities can and will occur and it's more of a shades of gray kind of thing. But to the extent that they become closer to the government (like US defense contractors for example which are publicly traded entities which are privately owned) it just, as in the case with China, becomes more of the government's fault that they're allowed to pollute.

In my mind there's no way to escape that the fault of climate change rests squarely on the shoulders of the government and the people. People just don't want to look in the mirror or accept responsibility so it's easy to blame everything on ephemeral billionaires and corporations and then nothing gets done because we can just complain instead of no longer flying, or having to use paper straws or whatever pisses people off these days.
I'm a bit jealous of the fact they have such good blog posts. I did a deep dive on a couple of different architectures and always wanted to write something so nice and useful for other people with the stuff I know.
Only if you open the App Store… Which I practically never do. The apps on my phone have been essentially the same for years. If I ever install something, it’s probably through a web link or QR code that goes straight to the right app.

The App Store is clearly a big wasted opportunity. 12 years ago I was actually eager to find new apps there. Why did Apple let it become a slum?
Sure, but like it or not, performance against those third-party estimates has a big impact on stock performance.
Sounds like about "as good as this gets" if you happen to want to do this in browsers. Good job.
I'm not seeing much of a wind shadow for that bridge, particularly at 4pm Friday. Maybe they updated the model already. Most of the onshore windflow begins after 11am goes from the cold (high pressure) pacific through the gg bridge, wraps around the east side of angel island and north past Richmond and Vallejo towards the hot (low pressure) central valley. South of SFO silicon valley is surrounded by tall geographic features and there's not much path to hotter (low pressure) zones so it's unusual to see high winds there unless there's a special offshore wind event coming from the south (most often in the winter).
For most people, this is not an option though, since it bypasses the Play Store (and the majority of the userbase) entirely.
> the mission of the company which is to connect people together.

I guarantee you Zuck doesn't wake up every morning and say "how can I connect people just a little bit better today". He was just able to say this because the world threw money at him for 15 years so he didn't have to worry about that part.

Facebooks mission is to make money. Crypto didn't help them with their mission. Recreating miis with a vr headset is doing the exact opposite of that mission.

Time will tell. Maybe he will look like a genius in 5 years. I've got skin in the game betting against that
My small, local credit union lets me download spreadsheet files (not sure if they're CSV or Excel TBH) of all my transactions, I think up to 3 years back.

Presumably this is some kind of off-the-shelf software though it's white-label so I don't know how to figure out what it's called, or how to find a credit union that uses it. That said, I find such credit unions are easy to ask questions of and get satisfying answers: the people actually working there will pick up the phone, rather than farming it out to a call center states or oceans away. They will therefore probably be able tell you if they offer this functionality or not before you open an account.
whales, dolphins and seals are also excluded.

Yep, anti-fraud and anti-scam is an exercise in game theory.

The more explicit you are with the rules, the more specific bad actors will try to weave around them. It sucks because it means the scalable, machine-assisted review process comes up with more false positives, but it's a two sided market and the marketplace owners care more about the users than the devs.

I feel like the U.S. tax code is a good example of when you try to go more explicit with the rules.
I'm also left handed and the only difference I've ever noticed is that when I use scissors (whatever they may come from) with my right hand, the cuts are less precise. That's it. And everything I do with my right hand is less precise than when I do it with my left hand.
Just the psychoactive ones. Go nuts with other toads, as long as they are not native though: they have protections too

Officially a recession folks. No amount of arguing is going to change that fact.
Only for app updates in my experience. Publishing new apps takes ~7 days for years now. If I remember right, it started with Covid but it never improved.
Beautifully written comment.
It's completely automated. Even Google does not have enough money to pay for human support.
I guess the worst part is that you have to do a 150gig download. That could take most of a day especially if servers are overloaded.
It's amazing. I sometimes wonder what value these people see in this stuff. I guess I just "think different" as nothing that Apple offers is compelling to me in the slightest way. Yet one can't deny the reality.
There's an argument to be made for one or all of Microsoft, Tesla, and Google to be included in there (I'm not calling them Alphabet and I'm not calling Facebook Meta I don't care how much you pay me).
In terms of complexity destruction we are not so dissimilar to a paperclip maximizing AI gone rogue.

Only if you believe fake news media propaganda who equated "mostly peaceful protest" with "coup" (for real examples of a coup, look no further than Libya, Ukraine, or Myanmar; hint: it usually involves guns & people getting killed).
> they would one day be able to monetize their e-commerce revenue.

They make more on Amazon Ads than Alphabet makes on Youtube. So yes it looks like it's monetized. Even retail has profit. It's just being spent on other growth areas (Alexa, Games, Prime Air, Healthcare etc)

It is not 'reading' as such, but what is the purpose of reading? Reading could be defined as the visual process of receiving information. Changing the method of receiving that exact same information from visual to aural doesn't really alter anything.

So yes, 'Listening to Audiobooks' probably could be another definition of 'reading' until we decide to give 'Listening to Audiobooks' a verb of its own different from 'reading'.

EDIT: Ignore this comment, I thought I knew what PushBullet was but I was mistaken.

Pushover is what I've used for as long as I can remember, I bought the app so long ago that I can't even remember what I paid. It's decent, a little basic though.

Recently I've just been using a Discord server since that's trivial to setup and I can get notifications on desktop and mobile easily. I just have 1 channel per "thing" that might want to alert me and then grab the webhook url for that channel and then I'm good to go.

I usually drop a "push" binary in the ~/bin folder on my machines (which is in my path) so I can do:

./longRunningCommand.sh && push "Command finished!"
> hydroelectricity is massively damaging to ecosystems

Sure, but compare it with the alternatives. Oil and gas are obviously very destructive of ecosystems. But so are lots of renewables.

Here's what a silicon mine looks like (used to make solar panels): https://www.mining.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/anglogold-...

Here's a lithium mine (used to make batteries): https://assets.telecomtv.com/assets/telecomtv/open-cast-mine...

Here's a uranium mine (used for nuclear energy): https://energyeducation.ca/wiki/images/8/82/Openpit.jpg

Compared to these, the habitat displacement from hydro seems very mild. There simply is no energy source that is harmless.

Agreed, but just to note: it'll cost ya.
Not very well, but you can buy decent cables from a variety of manufacturers for cheap, and there isn't this one license-holder (Apple) out there trying to take a big cut from that. If someone wants to make a good Lightning cable for cheap, first they have to break the law by skipping the licensing deal, then they have to get around Apple's own mechanisms.
> There's also a more subtle issue here than the lack of work. She talks like someone whose primary interest is her own looks, not anything to do with tech. She talks repeatedly about how cute she looks, how she spends time working out to look cute, and a large part of the video is her posing in the mirror. Even something like the actual product she works on, isn't worthy of a mention.

I'm not going to read too much into your complaints about her priorities; but suffice to say, perhaps consider that she doesn't mention the details of her work because being a PM is generally breathtakingly dull.

> Traditionally, managers are meant to be people who have done the work of the people they're managing so they can make informed decisions. Given the widespread awareness that tech firms do 'diversity hiring' all the time it leads directly to the suspicion that maybe she was hired because she's a cute 23 year old girl and not, say, because of her extensive experience of product design or committed work ethic.

And yet you then sought out her linkedin and found evidence that she has, indeed, quantifiable and valid experience. But of course, you dismiss it out of hand because she's "clearly a bullshitter". But is she, really?

I've been out of school for ~20y, and even back then I knew at least five people who had successful business ventures during their tenure at post-secondary. At least two of those companies exited in rather substantial acquisitions. There was also the people who would go on to speak at TedX, who were featured on magazine covers, who...

Post-secondary is already a sample of the top-tier students that there is available, it shouldn't be surprising that some of them are super achievers.

This only partially related.

I recently killed all my subscriptions and swapped over to a plex + seedbox + sonar/radarr set up.

The experience is good but not quite up to par with real streaming service. There are still rough edges. I always have issues with plex subtitles.

https://overseerr.dev/ is a nice addition for content exploration to the set up but for me the missing piece is being able to stream on demand.

Does anyone know if it's possible to bridge the gap between streaming torrents and tv?

Maybe webtorrents + casting?
Wouldn't this mean the downstream would have no water flowing through it?

I like the 'internal foundry' messaging. It feels cool and futuristic. Also given recent tensions in the South China Sea it probably makes sense to get that going in a serious way for national security reasons.

It just obfuscated things. It might not be a 350% increase, but it's still a 70% increase, right?
They have two trump cards: vertical integration and a brand halo more popular than Jesus. Their engineering chops are first rate but they win because they do everything for quality, charge a massive premium for it and have users line up. Everyone else has to spend energy and resources making something that can compete on value because they don't have the brand. And they have to negotiate with everyone up and down their supply chain and put their products up against dozens of competitors.
That's a lot of money to pay just to get back functionality the previous poster already has.

Except it hasn’t worked. The point of those laws are to discourage drug use, and yet drug use is higher in Australia than nearly anywhere else in the western world, and these analogs are rampant — because their legality or illegality is unimportant to most.
That isn't ethics, IMO.

What you're referring to is the application of power, and their retention of arbitrary power, specifically.

Ethics is if they used that power for abuse or an unethical goal, or to acquire an even larger amount of arbitrary power.

Pragmatically, it's their app store, and they need to retain a non-trivial amount of power to police it. It's a requirement of ownership. If they don't do so, it will devolve to an even worse garbage dump, and rather quickly.

We're of course going to complain about inexplicable rulings, things we don't agree with, etc. but that doesn't change the equation unless they get so obnoxious that other places are more attractive or it violates some law.
With the current weather, most electricity during the day is generated by wind and solar. So, thats not that much of a concern.

If you ever look in old barns that have been there before the Great Depression (few but there are some) you will see rat traps with holes drilled in them. They were used to hang on trees to trap squirrels. Apparently this worked well the first year...not so good for the decade after that.
> If I go on a diet and lose weight, is that also a trick because the average weight of the population goes up?

The keyword here is "imported emissions". When you reduce your consumption because you're closing a factory to import the same stuff made in worse (environmental, social) conditions elsewhere, the gain is only apparent.

So following your analogy, if what you're after is the global population health, if you lose weight but everyone else gains more than what you lost, than the result is indeed a net loss overall.
