I wrote a media conversion script a decade ago to do that for me, but upkeep was annoying when something like FileFlows makes it stupid easy to accomplish.

I still have that script somewhere… I bet I’ll cringe reading it lol. Still, it’s a great learning experience.

Don’t tie your mental health to that of your colleagues. I know from experience how tempting it is to hang out in a bad place because you don’t want to dump your workload on your work friends, but a bad org is going to make shit decisions and make life hard for the employees whether you’re punching the clock or not.

While you may not be ready now, put the feelers out, because you may hit a point where your patience suddenly runs out and you have to start from nothing and deal with no longer being in a good headspace at work.

Considering it resume/interview practice until you find a good gig or just need to get out.

I’ve tried to use the playlist feature on my device a couple of times, but I still had to manually start the next episode. I might try again and see if I can figure it out.

Edit: no change in behavior sadly. Created a playlist and hit play, still had to select the next episode. Played the same playlist from the web client and it goes to the next episode, but headset controls don’t work.

Yes, the android app is my preferred method of accessing my server. It works great, other than on rare occasions when it gets killed in the background for some reason, and my complaint about playlists from the previous comment is a much bigger irritation, but a very minor complaint.

Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there’s no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don’t work from FF for Android.

That’s not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.

Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.

AssCreed4 is the best game of the series. Black Flag’s combat was great and the ship combat keeps me coming back to the game years on.

I took would like to know as well.

Lmao, you’ve never heard of Lennybot.

Scammers are stupider than you could ever imagine.

It literally keeps every single conversation you’ve ever had in a big long list on the left,

Not all of them, actually. I regularly have to use the search function to find chats/groups I haven’t used in a bit. The most organization you can do is the dozen pinned threads they let you have.

My CISO has all but said he’s going to prevent any auto-rollout of that shit because it breaks decades of user training and TRUNCATES THE FRONT OF THE URL, NOT THE BACK LIKE ANY SENSIBLE APPLICATION.

Like, let’s make it so Steve in accounting can’t see that the login link he wants to click is actually haxxor.com instead of bank.com, makes perfect fucking sense.

Try a user agent switcher, might be enough to make them fuck off and let you play.

This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn’t matter if my friends are on Windows, right?

It shouldn’t matter, Linux and Windows and Mac are all compatible ‘PC’ platforms. As long as the game is supported/runs, you should be good.

If you’re concerned about reinstalling, grab another drive and swap it. You’ll be able to play to your heart’s content and still swap back at a moments notice if you need your windows install again.

Why do you think that because a person could do something they necessarily will?

I don’t, but in this case, we know it’s not because they got rid of that option. Why? Because the task is infeasible to support. Kinda like you’ve been arguing against this entire time in the face of multiple reasons why people aren’t doing it.

You’re far from the first person to want this, and the devs no longer offer it as a supported method for a reason after all. No one is saying it is impossible, just not something that’s feasible to create and support. This really should not be this hard of a concept to understand.

Well, yeah. Especially when you’ve already been given reasons why it isn’t. But clearly you know better than the devs or people familiar with the product.

So then it isn’t actually that feasible then, otherwise you’d do more than just whine about it on the Internet. Especially when there are valid reasons to not support that method.

“Here, have this piece of niche software that’s ok I guess as a way of me charging you out the ass for the only product you actually care about.”

Tools like restic and Borg and so critical that you will regret not having had them sooner.

I just experienced this when a little mini PC I bought <2y ago cooked its nvme and died this month. Guess who has been meaning to set up backups on that guy for months?

Unfortunately, that nvme is D. E. D. And even more unfortunately, that had a few critical systems for the local network (like my network controller/DHCP). Thankfully it was mostly docker containers so the services came up pretty easy, but I lost my DBs so configs and data need to be replicated :(

The first task on the new box was figuring out and automating borg so this doesn’t happen again. I also set up backups via my new proxmox server, so my VMs won’t have that problem too.

Now to do the whole ‘actually testing the backups’ thing.

Then do if for your distribution then. It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

More or less the same setup, only I used the frigate HA integration to access the feeds. Was very nice up until the machine running frigate cooked the nvme.
