There is no allegedly, the dude was a total boomer and literally wrote out instructions on how to dox someone in his notebook which are shown in the federal complaint against him

Like you you would think he would just use a text document or bookmarks or something

FWIW while my hardware serving Jellyfin is more powerful, my hardware accessing is not much more, I forgot to mention that detail

I typically use a ugoos android tv box flashed with coreelec. I believe it’s more powerful than a pi for this application but it’s not particularly powerful.

I use Jellyfin for kodi over Jellycon. I’m not saying one is better than the other, I’ve never tried jellycon, but that is what my experience is based on. In my experience initial library scans are very lengthy (building db from scratch) with the size of my library, 20-30 minutes. This never is necessary at this point though and was only needed because I was testing something for coreelecs nightlies that required me to trash my db a lot. Typically I login and it updates within a few seconds, even if I’ve recently had a somewhat hefty update. It does help that the ugoos has fairly speedy emmc here - my initial testing running coreelec off of the sd card this was a bottleneck. Flashing to internal emmc and enabling hs400 mode made this notably quicker

Pinchflat is interesting! Thanks! I have been looking for a better YouTube archival tool

IMO kodi plugins are very hit/miss. This is why I prefer the setup I have where storage nas runs Jellyfin then flashed android box runs coreelec. Kodi and Jellyfin both have IPTV plugins, for example, but they are terrible. So when I want to use IPTV I boot to the degoogled android side and use tivimate, which is much more stable and convenient. I also have an APK for youtube there with adfree and sponsor block integrated. There is a build of freetube for android but unfortunately I cannot get it to work on the box. I don’t watch a ton of youtube though

I have much more powerful hardware than you but Jellyfin shouldn’t take more than a few seconds to load directories. The hardware is fairly irrelevant, this was still the case when I was on my old nas (which was an ancient pc that was garbage). Jellyfin doesn’t require much. My library is gigantic too, easily over 100,000 items across music, movies, and tv.

What do logs say? How is your network? When I moved into my new place i went ethernet only and had issues with Jellyfin (and other self hosted stuff) and tracked it down to one cable that was super cheap and limited to 100mbit.

Jellyfin isn’t really geared towards viewing media in a folder structure though.

You may be best off going with a freetube access. TBH I find Jellyfin works best with media that can be scraped or that I’m willing to create nfo files for. My music/tv/movies? These are overwhelmingly fine. Every once in a while a niche show or album requires manual scraping or a custom nfo. But I also have some other collections like music videos. Imvdb exists but is far less complete compared to other scraping sources and as a result I don’t even bother using it, the overwhelming majority of my collection needs manual nfos. When I’ve tried to contribute to it my contributions have sat in pending for literal months pending approval, even for obvious videos by major artists.

I don’t know of any scraper for youtube videos and such a thing would be a tremendous undertaking. If you archive a lot it’s a lot of nfos to create. Perhaps you could make a script that generates them automatically by scraping the description and grabbing the thumbnail as fan art?

This isn’t a “blaming immigrants” thing. 14% of the population is notable and while much of that population can speak, read, and write English better than native speakers a sizable portion only learn to speak it. This does go back to the official language thing (which actually is not true anymore, trump executive ordered it in his flurry of bullshit EOs). Before that EO they could just get government forms in their native tongue but now that’s probably jeopardized

But these studies generally look at literacy rates of English since, while it wasn’t the official language until very recently, it functionally was. So it’s not blaming immigrants but more explaining that yes, a portion of the data is attributed to people that do not speak English as a first language, rather than the native speakers who were failed by a collapsing public education system

It’s not hyperbole, this is an actual serious issue in America. The overwhelming majority of Americans do not have high enough reading skills to extrapolate and cross reference data from things like text books and journal articles. Something like 40% of American adults can’t read well enough to comprehend multi-step prompts (e.g. they struggle with stuff like bus schedules). About 15-20% of American adults can’t read at a basic level, very simple things like medicine bottles. Depending on the survey these numbers can vary a bit

Part of this statistic is because we have a high immigrant population that doesn’t speak English as their primary language but the main reason is that we’ve simply eroded education quality for decades. I work with teenagers who are in high school and can barely throw together a coherent email. Statistically, most adults don’t read for pleasure at all.

I don’t even go on the trackers, everything’s automated

Starship.Troopers.1997.US.25th.Anniversary.DV-COYS

the superior 25th steelbook anniversary release which was regraded for dolby vision and is generally considered the definitive release. Out of print, $70-$100 online given the limited supply and the demand for the best version

They stopped printing the 25th anniversary because it was the more expensive version (steelbook) but they could’ve pressed it into the same stupid plastic case as the $15 version they keep on the market

Piracy is ethically and morally correct against hostile corporations that refuse to provide the best quality product, or provide it temporarily then remove access to only then provide a subpar product, especially when said corporations have excessive amounts of capital.

Also fuck amazon

Pins are glued, they won’t just come out. There are tools to remove those pins and you can basically make your own, it’s basically a thin flat piece of metal you shove into each channel to move the retaining tab out of the way temporarily

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMa3SwF something like this, the ones I have are different, but you can makeshift something in a pinch

But again the adhesive will mean this won’t work unless you cut/remove it. Also are you sure the only thing that’s changed is the connector? The pinout may have changed, the board you’re connecting to may have changed, etc

This was not an action simply fought by movie studios lawyers across the sea. MPAA lobbied the government to use soft power and the government did.

Wikileaks diplomatic cables showed US government put a ton of pressure on the Swedish government over the Pirate Bay. If Sweden failed to act they risked political consequences including being placed on a list of countries that fail to protect us intellectual property and potential economic consequences

Further the 2006 raid on the Pirate Bay was in some part due to US government pressure and while no US officials were physically present they were coordinating with Swedish authorities

Did you read the article?

The care home had no alarms installed to alert for egress of consumers in their care. Despite this, they were aware of this child’s elopement very early, it’s unclear when that happened but the first car theft occurred at 7:30am. instead of notifying police of the matter so that they could assist and prepare they instead decided to “get their stories straight before calling 911” (saying literally this via a text message) regarding the incident and doing an internal investigation first

They then fabricated a story and communicated that to the care coordinator and the kids mom at 2:17pm stating he had eloped 10 minutes prior, except he was already dead for over an hour

Finally at 5:26pm they notify the police, ~ 4 hours after the child had been killed and ~ 10+ hours since they discovered he was missing. They gave police the false story they had concocted to cover their asses

The police are a separate issue with normal ACAB shit. I’m sure this could’ve had better de-escalation. However, from the cops perspective it’s a young person on a crime spree. As we all know cops will assume the worst. This is a potential situation where assuming danger is somewhat reasonable and at least far more debatable in a country with Americas gun culture. They still should’ve focused on de escalation and non lethal management as always.

However, if they were notified immediately at the time the child eloped they could have been made aware the child has impulse control issues, is not armed, etc, and that changes a lot. Ultimately the responsibility for the murder of this child is spread across many people including the cop who did not choose to de escalate or utilize non lethal restraint options but the home, who was tasked with guardianship of this child, failed miserably.

I have worked in this industry. I worked in this industry for years. The behavior of these people makes me disgusted. It is criminal and they have culpability, in my opinion.
