Electrician here as well, I just seeing it getting caught on pull cans and metal boxes more frequently than my normal hands lol

If it was that hot for that long, there’s a good chance the glue in the cones let loose. It’s probably safe to say they’re toast, hopefully they can be swapped easily.

I’d be leery about posting anything on any platform, especially one that has even your email or other personal info attached to it. Even on a random day that I go browse ahem the other place, I don’t really comment anymore. I don’t even have my email tied to that account, but I don’t trust spez’s greedy little pig boy ass, and I’m doing my damn best to fly under the radar while they build their databases. Nor would I trust MS, Google, or even Apple to not be tracking every thought and action online for resistance monitoring.

Iirc Jellyfin isn’t exactly intended to be operated outside of your home network like Plex is. There are workarounds of course, but the onus is on the user to secure it.

Ah, they’re that kind of evil.

Probably just not supporting a US-based company

Did it ever occur to you that people can have a mix of views that don’t fully conform to one ideology or another? It’s a spectrum, not riding the fence. Like politics, not everything is a team sport.

I paid for the lifetime pass maybe, 10 years ago? I dunno, it’s been a very long time. It’s still my primary. I’ve been trialing Jellyfin, but there are still enough quirks that my wife (non-techie at all) won’t put up with, so yeah. That, and Plex makes it too easy to share outside my house, not sure where Jellyfin is at with it. I appreciate Jellyfin for what it is though, it has a lot of potential.

Yup, them “shadow profiles” will become sentient one day

Now imagine if stem cell research hadn’t been skewered 20 years ago.

Touche

More for tracking you as you move around stores

Funny, I never experience this issue on my Linux install.

I think you need a different hardware solution entirely. If your goal is satellite, get a dedicated satellite box and feed it directly to you air gapped TV, and switch HDMI like the olden days.

No android box that supports streaming (with associated DRM and therefore bullshit) will offer true privacy. If you don’t care about streaming and want to integrate satellite into your own selfhosted content, try mini PC with an openELEC variant that supports multiple input, or use an AVR to feed multiple sources into it.

Not sure if this was on purpose, but it seemed quite appropriate

Nor is my 2010 Jeep, or my 2020 Ram, though I had to search for a long time to find a truck that didn’t have any form of internet connectivity, and I’ve got Bluetooth firewalled for good measure.

Oh boy, gotta kiss the ring

What’s this recent political drama?

Good luck with that.
