Well that’s not anti-competative. We’re at or above Carnegie and Standard Oil levels of monopoly shenanigans.

Yeah, it won’t. Only Plex’s own screengrabs.

For Plex:

In YouTube download-material settings: Extra-> check “generate nfo files”

In plex, create a library called “YouTube” or whatever you’d like, category set to “other videos”. Use scanner: “Plex Video Files Scanner” set agent to “Personal Media.”

Under Plex settings “Agents” make sure under both the “movies” and “shows” tabs that the “personal media” agent is set to use “Local Media Assets” and that that is top priority.

Plex will use the nfo files generated by ytdl for metadata.

I believe there is a dedicated YouTube series agent, but those can be finicky. This way, ytdl has already done all the metadata work.

District court decisions in Texas are not binding in South Carolina. They’re not even binding in their own district.

Top of page 2:

Generally, district court opinions are not binding on other district courts or on courts of
appeals. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has made it clear, “A single district court
decision . . . has little precedential effect[, and i]t is not binding on . . . other district judges in the
same district.” Other circuits agree

If this was a law asking about policies for protecting against piracy it wouldn’t even be a headline. Protect money, fine. Protect humanity, fuck that.

What’s the over under on how many days until he backtracks this wonderful idea? I’ll put it at 5. I choose over but only because I think that’s how long the coke and benzo binge will take to wear off.

Also a very valid route. Just depends on your tolerance and time for dealing with bullshit I suppose.

I’d replace them, keep the old ones, and put them back when I move out. This is also my go-to with apartment showerheads.

They’re implying people can go make an account on those other instances to continue to use lemmy. Smugly.

The fact that issuing this order publically is such an obvious BFLNN certainly raises the question, “Does Judge Cannon want to be removed from this case?”

Are there not… less publicly idiotic ways to do that?

I hope the January 6th trial moves quickly because she is absolutely going to delay this one as long as Trump wants, if not outright tank the case. Even if she’s removed it starts the clock all over again. But I do look forward to another absolute smackdown from the 11th circuit. The last one was brutal and a great read.

The F16 will be vulnerable but not completely useless, as implied by the other post.

It’s kind of bizarre. The original article says (in a very repetitive and long-winded way) Europe needs to step up its military spending and send more of their own troops to the eastern borders to be able to counter Russian aggression on their own in the face of a potentially unreliable US who may be more focused on China. I honestly don’t think the US would disagree here. Strong allies aren’t a bad thing.

Economically it argues (again, in very unnecessarily long wording) the US will make decisions regarding protecting itself from a rising China without concern for Europe.

My opinion, this is probably true, although Europe might want to be concerned about China in its own right. Again, I’m not convinced the US wouldn’t want strong economic partners either. This only gets into disagreement territory if the EU intends to partner with China to counter the US. That will go about as well as it did partnering with Russia for their energy dependence.

Bottom line the article makes just two arguments that I’m fairly sure the US would agree with, in an unnecessarily inflammatory way that does seem intended to drive a wedge between the US and EU. I’m not sure if they’re just being salty, just trying to use emotion to rile people up to get things done, or if their goal is the second argument, an economic wedge, in which case they’re arguing to tie themselves to another despot.

The F-35 has been operating over Syria for years against those supposedly infallible Russian AA defenses. So far the only thing that’s been able to hit them is a bird.

Ukraine: we need tanks/armor!
West: hmm, no that would be too provocative.
months later, as Russia digs trenches and lays mines
West: ok, ok, here are some tanks
Ukraine: Great, can we get better ammunition?
West: What?! No, yeesh.
months of mines and trenches later
West: Ok here are cluster munitions
Ukraine: thank you. None of this really works without air support though so…
West: What is your deal?
mine, mine, mine, trench trench
West: Ok maybe some F16s.

West: yo, what’s taking so long?
Ukraine: I’m sorry? I can’t hear you over ALL THE FUCKING MINES

He can claim he believes it all he wants. The indictment isn’t just for what he said, it’s for what he DID. No matter your beliefs you can’t bully a secretary of state to try to get more votes, you can’t conspire to have a bunch of fake electors, you can’t order the Vice President to overrule the will of the voters.

“The indictment includes charges of conspiring to defraud the U.S., conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, obstructing an official proceeding and violating a post-Civil War Reconstruction Era civil rights statute that makes it a crime to conspire to violate rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution — in this case, the right to vote.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-indicted-jan-6-investigation-special-counsel-debb59bb7a4d9f93f7e2dace01feccdc

There is nothing in those charges about what he said. For those at least, he can’t hide behind the first amendment.

I’m more worried there’s going to be one fucking dumbass on the jury who derails the whole thing into a mistrial, Trump wins the election, and pardons himself or pulls some other shenanigans to weasel out.

Currently just using Synology photos but with an eye on immich, as others have mentioned and plan to switch now that it has facial and object recognition. At this point it can do everything I want and has the benefit of being open source.

You have a Synology and Synology photos will do the features you mentioned (multiple users, different permissions). While I wouldn’t recommend it now over Immich I’m curious why you went with photoprism initially?

I was all about Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, a collection of facts a lot of which probably aren’t true but it was entertaining.

But this was absolutely the backup option.

“Oh, sulfates huh? Tell me more. Rinse and REPEAT?? The fuck outta here.”
