I don’t recall having to create an account for this one

I bought red dead redemption 2 on sale, didn’t pay attention to those things, saw it demanded I create an account to play it, I closed it and refunded it.

Fuck this practice.

Good luck on that job search.

Yup. It’s all shitty these days. Just ☠️🏴‍☠️

“agile development”, “AI generated code”, “early release”, “corporate greed”.

I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2

Sun thing for me was absolutely terrible. If I recall correctly, huge pain in the ass because I vlan off my wifi and had to mess with policies for discovery. I found the app would often freeze and lock up, glitch, etc. And this was on two different phones.

I thought with this for years. It’s unreliable and buggy on Android and iPhone. I caved and paid for some photo sync app and it’s been super stable.

That or folder sync on Android. Then feed into immich or photosphere.

I spent many nights running diff and comparing sources and destinations and md5sums and so on

How naive

Incorrect. It’s by mac address. And an OUI table lookup.

I didn’t read your entire post (sorry it was long 😅) but have you heard of lorawan? It’s a low powered long distance mesh network technology. I believe that’s what the helium project uses.

Yup. Bs headline.

Have the lifetime since like 2012, every time a post like this surfaces I wonder if the contents of it are finally going to force my hand to use jellyfin instead

As an android user I almost have no choice since I know too many people who are daft and refuse to change to signal. I have like 7 chat apps on my phone because of different people.

Ah yes, it’s true. I don’t use recommendations. People send me videos or I see them on here and go from there. Old school.

I don’t have this problem on mobile. I use pipepipe and don’t sign in. No shorts. Simple list for subscriptions without signing in. Easily transfers to new phones. No ads.

The best are those websites with 4 ads at once and at least one of them is a video as that auto plays.

Jokes on them, I just close and abandon the article. Fuck that.

Microsoft rapes us every day.

Definitely. I use home assistant but I found a lot of things require enabling integrations with other platforms. They’re bricks if that platform decides they are.
