My issue with FF's auto update is that the behavior is how painfully the auto-update works with multiple profiles.

I'll have one window (well three) open for some (measurable in days) time.

  1. FF updates silently, I haven't restarted my browser so I haven't noticed.
  2. I go to open a session in the second (or third profiles)
  3. FF decides now is a great time to apply the update, after all it just opened right?
  4. All the existing open browsing sessions in the other profiles get bricked. The tabs just stop responding, no browsing works, just dead in the water.

I have to shut it (all?) down to get it working again.

I don't know how Chrome handles this so I cannot compare. TBH still worth using FF over that adware!

Is it bad my third thought after "๐Ÿฅฐ" and "unrequited love ๐Ÿ˜ข" was immediately "oh gods I hope it doesn't start marking the porch"?

My favorite game as a kid. Sugh memories trying to solve the puzzles.

One of the very few games I ever played through completely. I remember borrowing my mom's mini-recorder (for lectures) and using it to help me record and navigate the tones on the music tram puzzle.

My gay ass doesn't see an issue at all with this.

Then again it's religion. And as we are currently experiencing, that is a shit show no matter what.

Virtualization in general? Sure, I can. I've tried it a bit with bhyve. But it's definitely a lot heavier since I'm now running a full Linux os and dedicating resources to it to run docker just to run a python or node app.

Learning the project is in Go though is a sigh of relief. Professionally I've moved to Go (from Python) just because it's so damn easy to build and distribute.

I just wish there was better support for the other *nix's. While the language support them just fine, docker on the other hand strangles it. =(

For me it's more like new interesting self hosted project and then find out it's only distributed as a docker container without any proper packaging. As someone who runs FreeBSD, this is a frustration I've run into with quite a number of projects.

For sure! I was just thinking of a species that'll outlive humanity. :D

I thought roach myself.

Stamped with a Wisconsin logo, yep that fits.

From my understanding, transcode quality is a concern. I've unfortunately read AMD's implementation just isn't very good. That one is better off going Intel particularly from the last few years.

Jellyfin's docs specifically talk about the issue.

Intel's transcoding is also faster in the same generation.

Been debating which way to go for my next rebuild as I'm over due myself.

Yeeap. My FreeBSD box has such pain with 'em. Because unfortunately *bsd is not in Python's precompiled wheels. So one is almost building from the source.

Now every time I pip install something there's a high likelihood I'm going to end up having to install the rust tool chain and burn so much time on building libraries. I get why the project made the switch, but man does it hurt being downstream of it.

Every time I see a project decide to use rust I groan knowing my build/packaging time is about to skyrocket. Case in point, the Python cryptography project.

And given cryptography's importance in the Python ecosystem what used to be an easy pip install of a package now almost always going to include is an enormous and horribly slow rust build environment.

Seeing a rust libraryjust makes me sad now ๐Ÿ˜ญ
