I understand the convenience, but I don’t like it. All my data is on someone else’s computer, and I have to enable activity trackers for the privilege of accessing my data? Heck nah.

Not sure what the use case is here but Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) works great.

Unrelated but the additional padding at the bottom of each page is an unexpected QOL feature I didn’t know I needed.

Actionscript, my beloved

But Oracle will be leading towards an “offer” to overlook earlier unlicensed software if they agree to sign up to the new subscription model, Biggs said.

So…Oracle is just adopting the mafia mentality to accomplish this? Yeesh.

The tshirt looks really cool

No prob! I think Ars Technica had the best writeup imo: https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/04/what-we-know-about-the-xz-utils-backdoor-that-almost-infected-the-world/

In a nutshell, a backdoor was intentionally planted by a malicious actor in xz Utils, an open-source data compression utility widely used in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. This discovery was made by Andres Freund, a developer and engineer working on Microsoft’s PostgreSQL offerings. He was troubleshooting performance problems on a Debian system. Specifically, SSH logins were consuming excessive CPU cycles and generating errors with Valgrind, a memory debugging tool. Through sheer luck and Freund’s careful eye, he eventually discovered that these issues were the result of updates made to xz Utils. Upon closer inspection, he found that updates to xz Utils were the result of a maliciously inserted backdoor. The backdoor, present in xz Utils versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, manipulated the sshd executable, allowing anyone with a predetermined encryption key to upload and execute arbitrary code on affected devices.

I look forward to celebrating the death of “AAA” games and the rise of independent studios.

Easy to get caught in a perpetual loop with steps 4 and 5

I’m aware, patiently waiting for Jellyfin lol. I didn’t enjoy emby at all so Plex was the best “out of the box” solution for my use case

I prefer Plex for its stupid simple “press here to share your library with your family remotely.” And before the Jellyfin folks have an aneurysm, yes I know I can “jUsT uSe a ReVeRsE pRoXy” but I’m a busy guy and frankly lazy. So if Jellyfin wants wide adoption, it needs to make library sharing stupid simple.

Gonna use this next time someone suggests using excel as a database

Not to view code

But what if something is wrong with it? 🤔

This might help: https://libredirect.github.io/

Oh wow, how have I not heard of this? This was a major hurdle for me with Jellyfin, I’ll definitely check this out
