Some of it yes, the claim for example, but the rest is still pretty bad UX (and even that is stupid, I shouldn’t need a claim to watch locally), I’m an experienced self hosing person and I’m getting frustrated every step of the way, imagine someone who doesn’t know their way around docker or is not familiar with stuff… Jellyfin might be less polished as some claim, but setting it up is a breeze, never had to look at documentation to do it.

Jellyfin has an app for fire stick, it works flawlessly

It’s curious that I’m almost in the opposite boat, have been using Jellyfin without issues for around 5 years, but recently was considering trying Plex because Jellyfin is becoming too slow on certain screens (probably because I have too much stuff, but it shouldn’t be this slow).

Edit: this made me want to check in Plex, so I’ll leave my story for people amusement:

My experience with Plex:

• Write the docket compose
• leave out the claim because it’s optional and I have no idea what it is
• launch it
• asks me to create an account
• not really comfortable creating an external account to access my local server, but okay.
• discovered I already had an account. Huh? I wonder why I don’t remember ever running Plex then.
• login to that account
• shows me a bunch of stuff
• find it weird that it already scanned everything, especially because I didn’t pointed it to my media
• proceed to try to watch something
• can’t play due to DRM
• WAT?
• go back and discover there’s a bunch of content that’s not in my library
• ok, so this must be some free content
• how do I configure my local library?
• spend 15 min navigating the UI trying to find it
• open the docs, they say to click the settings icon
• that icon is nowhere to be seen
• click a similar one
• can’t find anything the docs say I should
• maybe I’m not on the right site? site is <IP>:<port>/web/yaddayaddayadda so it seems correct
• try to go to <IP>:<port> get to the same page
• look at the docs on how to access the web app says to go to <IP>:<port>/web
• try that, get a message about not being authorized
• WAT?
• read some more docs discover I need that claim
• spend some time trying to find that in the UI
• google it up, find the link
• go to that page, grab the claim, set it up on the server and restart the server
• I’m able to get to the web app now
• Do you want to access it from the internet? If this works it would be great, so yes!
• setup my library
• let it scan and try to watch something from it
• UX sucks, video plays in a sort of popup in landscape on my phone.
• Ah, dumb of me, I probably have my browser set to desktop mode
• No, I don’t.
• Ok, so the web is maybe only expected to be used on desktop, let me install the app
• Install the app, login to my account, only have the Plex provided content
• Look around trying to find the media I scanned, find a thing saying my server is disconnected
• WAT?
• Go back to the web app via IP, try to look into settings
• “You are not connected directly to the server”
• WAT?
• everything else seems okay, I even enabled remote access there and it says it’s working
• Every few minutes the page says my server is not available for a few seconds then comes back
• It’s now been 1 hour and I haven’t been able to watch anything.

It’s now been 1 hour of trying to set this up and I give up. Jellyfin is much more easy to setup, and even if Plex was instantaneous I could have loaded my TV library hundreds of times in the 1h I just wasted trying to get this to work. Probably every other time I tried I got similar results which is why I have an account there even though I don’t remember ever using Plex.

Edit2: after some nore more fiddling managed to get it working, not sure what I changed, so now:

• Open the app, see my content there
• Try to watch something
• “You’re watching in indirect mode, quality might be bad”
• Ok, so it’s not connecting directly to my server, anyways, let’s ignore this for now, maybe it’s getting confused because it’s in a docker container
• “Activate Plex”
• Ah, ok, it’s the “pay or not now” screen, not now
• No subtitles play
• Try different subtitles
• Still nothing
• Plus quality seems shit
• Confirmed, it’s reproducing at 720x300 even though it’s a 4K video
• Look at docs, figure out the direct play is about converting the video
• Select maximum quality which according to docs should use the original file
• Still get a 300p video
• Figure out maybe it’s the android app that’s the problem, go to the TV, install Plex and connect to it
• Video takes forever to load
• Give up again after a couple of minutes waiting for the movie to load

So are Dachshunds, what’s your point?

The plural of anecdote is not data. Read my other reply which contains actual data and several scientific papers on the matter. Plus in the beginning of that video, even if for just a second, you can clearly see the dog is very uncomfortable and panicking.

Yes, but people with trauma tend to look at things emotionally and not rationally. People who were attacked by dogs wanting to ban dogs is as valid as people who were mugged by a black person wanting to bring back race segregation. But the truth is that several studies have shown no correlation between breed and aggressiveness. Not to mention that people misidentify Pitbulls. Also breed specific legislation is not the answer.

Lots of dogs become very still when feeling threatened, there’s even a saying “barking dog seldom bites”, and while that is just a saying and a bark can be a threat becoming very still is also a sign on dogs in general. I’ve never personally had pitbulls, but have seen dobermans and German shepherds do it, when that happens the owner or the person needs to reassure the dog that nothing is wrong, but most people just see the dog quiet as okay with the situation instead of the truth that it is frozen with fear much like a human would.

I would bet money that that guy’s friend was a piece of shit that abused the dog. There is a strong correlation between race and attacks only when you don’t normalize for living conditions. If you normalize by that there’s no significant difference between dog races. The thing is that assholes, especially assholes who want to put their dogs in pits to kill other animals, seem to like pitbulls, and if you spend your life being tortured and forced to kill other beings you’re likely to attack others as well. Repeat after me, correlation does not imply causation, Pitbulls being responsible for the majority of deaths while accounting for a small percentage of the dogs is a correlation, you can’t conclude any cause, and saying pitbulls are aggressive would be a cause.

He’s voting and supporting the people who claim he doesn’t though. OP is like a Jew in 1930s Germany who has a friend that supported the Nazi party while at the same time never having raised an issue with him being Jew. While he might directly not believe that OP doesn’t deserve to live, he’s giving power to people who do.

If Event Horizon has bad ratings that is my answer, love that movie, I thought it was universally considered good though.

Biggus dickus sketch is from the life of Brian though.

It was the middle of the 90s, I had just managed to buy my new computer after saving for years. It came with Windows 95, and I was so excited to finally get a graphical interface. It also had a modem, which an aunt’s boyfriend came home to configure and show us how to use. I went online and I remember having this feeling of “wow, I can access computers anywhere…” I had learned that sites where in the format www.<something>.com so the first thing I tried was www.china.com, a site in Chinese loaded and I was so excited that I had loaded information from across the globe, it felt like the world had no barriers anymore.

I also remember using a chat that kept writing a comic with what people said, https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat for the new guys out there who have no idea what I’m talking about. And my father trying to communicate with some random person from Italy on that thing because we pushed him to and open something like #italy or similar. Looking back it feels like those parents that put the kid together in a room with another kid and say “he’s also wearing blue, be friends”.

That’s because nobody expects them

Objective morality doesn’t exist. Even if it did that doesn’t necessitate a God. Let’s use colors for a stand-in to morality, now you have two colorblind people arguing whether objective color truly exist, one might say that his holy book says that God gave colors and an apple is red, while the other might say that there’s no God and apples are green. They’re both (at least about the color part) right (or wrong depending on how you want to look at it), and objective color still exists regardless of it without the need for any God to have created it. In the same way it’s possible for objective morality to exist without the requirement of a creator, if it is objective it should be demonstrably so, otherwise it’s subjective. In our color example the colorblind people can argue all they want, but if you use an equipment to measure the light waves you’ll have an objective answer for the wavelength of the apple, they might disagree on what that wavelength is (the subjective part) but they agree on the value (the objective part). If something similar could be achieved for morality it would imply the existence of an objective morality (regardless of God) but since we can’t then no objective morality exists.

But here’s the thing, even if there is a God we all agree he’s not communicating. If you believe in the Bible then you have a set of rules given by him, but most of them don’t apply anymore. So it’s very pick and choose even for people who believe in God. Therefore it’s disingenuous to claim there wouldn’t be a distinction from good and evil without God, when you can’t agree among yourselves what is good and what is evil. At the end of the day, even IF God existed and IF the bible was his written word, you have to choose between slavery being okay or shrimps being evil, there’s no in-between, either those are the rules or they aren’t, if those are the rules then eating shrimp is evil just like murdering, cutting your beard, laying with another man or wearing mixed fabric clothes, all sins, all equally bad. If those are not the rules then how do you know what’s good? How do you know what God thinks is good? What’s the point of the Bible if you’re not accepting the rules there?

At the end of the day everyone has their own morality, and that’s easily demonstrable, pick two people from the same religion and ask them questions on morally ambiguous things until they disagree. If their morality was indeed given by a single entity it would be unique. That’s not the case, therefore their morality doesn’t come from the same entity, therefore they also don’t know right from wrong because of religion.

The joke is because German concatenates words instead of using prepositions, which means that this:

Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkastenattentäter

Is a perfectly valid German word which means the “would be murderer of the Hottentot mother of the good for nothing stutter kid who was placed on the opossum cage”.

That’s when you slap the principal and tell him you’re suspended now too.

First of all my answer would be that I don’t know. If I had to choose one I would probably pick the end of eternity, but mostly because it was an excellent book if you’ve read the Empire and Foundation books before, so maybe I should pick the Foundation trilogy… But if you ask me for my favorite sci-fi story I would almost assuredly pick SOMA.

Which takes me to that you should probably ask what’s your favorite sci-fi story instead of book. Some people prefer games or movies, and even people like me who enjoy reading might just not have read enough sci-fi to pick a favorite book (I for example have mostly only read Asimov).

Haha, yeah, drink it however you want it, I find it absurd that people think there’s a right way to enjoy food/drinks. I drink Mate in the exact same circumstances, tea is not enough but I don’t feel like coffee. I’m just letting you know that the name of what you’re drinking is Mate cocido, which has very different taste from what most people are thinking when they talk about mate, it’s still a very popular drink too.

But that would make a mate cocido, which has a very different taste.
