>I have over 400 blu-rays specifically because I wanted to guarantee that I don't have to risk seeing ads in my media. Don't Blu-Rays and DVDs have unskippable ads built in, including the FBI notice?
With a reverse proxy, I don't see how this would work. The whole way the reverse proxy works is you use a subdomain name ("jellyfin.yourdomain.org") to access Jellyfin, rather than some other service on your server. The…
You've freed up 2 hours per dev per week so they can work on something else that might generate profit. Even if they goof off for an hour, that's another hour doing something useful that they weren't doing before.…

>Google's infrastructure is, IMO, a competitive advantage. The amount of vertical integration and scale is unparalleled. It's too bad they don't put this kind of thinking into their customer service.
It may seem "harsh", but this is simply the reality of using proprietary software. You don't have any control over it, and unless you stick with a particular version, it can change at any time (sometimes called a…

This isn't quite right either. It's "they gain less money than they might potentially gain if piracy weren't physically possible". If the piracy avenues didn't exist, how many people would actually pay full price to the…
That's a good question. When (if) we figure out how to practically travel at FTL speeds with a "warp drive", we might figure out the answer to this question too.

It's not a great way, admittedly, but there is a very high correlation between Republican voters and religiosity. Very high turnout for Republican candidates plus lots of active churches in an economically-poor area I…
I went to one of those too, before Covid. It was great. I went to another one with the same group, but for the similar game "Witch". Then came Covid, and the group disappeared and never re-appeared. :-(
I think it should be fairly easy to determine if atheists really are outsiders in parts of the US or if it's just perception: just look at voting results, and church attendance for any given area. I don't think it's…

>(Well, they should tell the manufacturers…) The manufacturer rating is likely a max allowable pressure rating.
Why not pick up one of these barely-used units for cheap then?
I'm not a gamer these days, but from what I've seen, the gamers like a different type of keyswitch than regular typists. Normal typists like a clicky keyswitch where it clicks with very little travel, and has plenty of…

You should check out Kubota stuff.
That calculator is wrong. Cycling people have been overinflating their tires for ages (as well as using too-narrow tires), with the assumption that the ground is perfectly smooth. Lower pressures yield higher efficiency…
You're overinflating your tires. A lower pressure will increase your speed and efficiency unless you're riding in a velodrome. Here's a video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r8f3w89XeM (watch out, there's a…
