Given that the trailer itself and the description include game consoles and "add the game to your wishlist here", I think it's quite obviously a game. Not sure how you can reach any other conclusions if you actually opened the link.

Been using various dry herb vapes for close to 10 years now. Initially had settled on the Crafty and Arizer ExtremeQ, then I added a Dynavap M (2019). Unfortunately, about 2 years ago I lost all of these (well, they were stolen but that's a different story). I decided to stop combusting entirely and only use dry herb vapes shortly after that happened. I've now got several Dynavaps which are my main devices (from least to most used out of my favourites: WoodWynd, M7 XL, Vong, BB6). I also occasionally use the Arizer Solo 3 but I honestly prefer cycling through my Dynavaps. Oh and I've got the AirVape Legacy Pro but I rarely use it now that I have the Solo 3.

Where are you even getting those numbers? Election Canada has the vote count as 41.3% for Conservatives and 43.7% for Liberals, the Conservatives absolutely did not win the popular vote.

Which is totally fine if you're the only user of your server, but for those of us who host their server for their whole family (including less tech minded people), that is very far from an actual option.

My biggest issue with Jellyfin is that remote access requires additional steps (which many of my family would not be comfortable doing on their end) and even if that hurdle didn't exist, it would still be significantly less secure than providing access through Plex.

I can't say there was anything that I really disliked about it, I actually really liked the app overall but I've been using Plexamp since basically the first public release so that just feels a bit more familiar. Plus I heavily use the sonic analysis features which I don't believe exist outside of plexamp (please someone tell me if I'm wrong here).

Completely agree. I paid for Symfonium after seeing a lot of people on here raving about it but I still ended up back with Plexamp. I'd be curious to hear what people find other apps do better than plexamp.

If you have music on your server, I'd strongly recommend checking it out. I believe it was started as a side project by the Plex devs and it's a way better music player than the one built into the Plex apps.

You're 100% correct. I always find it funny how hardcore some people are with jellyfin vs Plex. I'll probably end up getting downvotes on this but imo Plex is way simpler to setup and keep running, and as a lifetime pass owner, I've very rarely felt like my experience has been deteriorated by any of the changes that the jellyfin crowd freaks out about. Plus plexamp is honestly such a great music player. I'll happily keep running Plex for the foreseeable future.

FYI the word you're so desperate to use is milquetoast, not milktoast.

Not quite. There's still enough polls left to report that could lead to a Liberal majority, even if that doesn't happen (it's quite unlikely), then current projections are that the NDP will have enough seats to support the minority government, even though the Bloc will hold more seats overall than the NDP.

The best part of having a homelab/home server is the reproducible dopamine hits. First you'll get some dopamine just getting the thing up and running, but then each service I decide to tackle and implement gives me a whole new hit of dopamine. Most services you can get up in a day or two of tinkering/learning even as a system noob like me. On top of that, if you don't manage to get it working, it's pretty easy to scrap the attempt and try something easier.

Then you also get dopamine hits whenever something breaks and you manage to fix it. 10/10 would recommend.

I might be a bit out of the loop here but why was the decision made to migrate the community to a different instance?

All I've seen is that it was to move to a "friendlier" instance, did something happen previously or is this just related to the admins of lemmy.ml?
