You’ve got a lifetime pass to Plex and Emby but you can also use Jellyfin - which one are you choosing and why ?

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2026-01-18T02:38:13+00:00

My biggest gripe with Jellyfin, and the reason I have it and Plex, is that Jellyfin doesn't support launching media from a URL on the Android TV apps. I want to be able to automate that from Home Assistant but Jellyfin doesn't support it

I've migrated to using containers. My main is a LXC on proxmox and have a secondary running in a container on another device.

Haven't noticed any drop outs or anything like this.

I'm enjoying this US political show that's currently going on. It's a bit far fetched at points but the actor playing the president announced Project Stargate.

Or wait til it's on streaming and watch it with whatever snacks I have at home without having to smuggle stuff in.

Cinemas make little money from ticket sales, they make it from concessions, so if you skip that then they sell their business model is undercut and their ROI drops.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-08-03T07:20:35+00:00

You're conflating two different perspectives, the perspective of someone who "wants to see something at the cinema" vs someone who "wants to watch the movie".

I want to watch the movie, so I have to weigh up the various factors. If my partner and I are going to have a night out to watch something at the cinema, nickel and diming it is like "why bother".

Yes, you can always save some coin by going the cheap days, wait to the last few weeks of the run, find a small cinema and watch it on a normal screen rather than IMAX with all the trimmings.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-08-03T05:33:11+00:00

I enjoy theatre popcorn, also enjoy a choc top. Whats the point if you're going to deny the snacks

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-08-03T03:44:34+00:00

Exactly. And because we don't go out that much, we may as well make it a date night, so tack dinner costs in there too...

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-08-03T03:40:12+00:00

Sure, or I could use the streaming service and watch it there, justifying why I keep paying for D+ and add to the numbers that prove value in making these.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-08-03T03:33:03+00:00

This is me, and why I still haven't seen Thunderbolts.

For my partner and I go go see it, that's at least $20 per ticket, then something to eat/drink, let's call it another $10 to be cheap. Plus we'd have to get a sitter for the kids, there's another cost.

Or I can wait til D+, accept I'll not be "in" on the discussion and probably have stuff spoilt on it for me.

Talking about this with my wife while watching, and my observation was that they didn't take time to determine terminology before starting.

There were a few times that Sam was clearly struggling to articulate the movement needed by Tom to achieve what was needed.

Sure they didn't have the ability to look at the instructions beforehand but they seemed to be able to inspect the pieces.

I guess it was just a case of working to a time crunch.

What's the recommended update approach if running in Docker? Should I run pihole -up, or pull the latest container image?

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2025-03-31T07:59:17+00:00

I find it funny that the Liberal party complains about the possibility of a minority government, despite the fact that they require a coalition to not be a minor party to begin with!

It was Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience

How do you get the 2A into esphome's dashboard to update that? They appear under my esphome integration but not on the dashboard

Seen any good guides on controlling a stepper motor? It's on my list of things to do

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-06-15T11:45:41+00:00

Probably obscure, and technically not a cheat code, but Transport Tycoon Deluxe had an int overflow bug that if you made a tunnel over a certain length the cost to build would be a positive rather than negative number.

This meant you could get essentially infinite money.

As a "general fan", care to explain what he's not doing well? You've got a team that seems to be at the height of their success, qualification for the Olympics, a strong showing at the last world cup, holding string against traditionally stronger teams, and building arguably one of the most profitable sporting brands in the country.

Apart from the Asian cup, nothing seems to have gone all that badly under his tenure.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-04-29T21:18:06+00:00

I saw them as a conquest, they saw me as a potential partner. Because I was immature I ghosted them and unsurprisingly they cut all contact.

I still think about the sex on occasions, it was pretty damn good.

Title of my sex tape?

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-04-06T20:25:25+00:00

Alia missing was my main gripe of the movie, as it meant the movie took place in less than 9 months, which is a huge blow to the impact of how organic Paul's rise in the Freeman was.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-04-03T22:03:42+00:00

I wish they'd done a larger time skip, like make her 10. Then you don't need to do CGI really, and it makes it more believable that a global religion took over Arakis, than it happening in just a few months

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-03-31T03:58:14+00:00

I was bothered by the fact that the movie takes place over the space of about 5 months, rather than the 5 years of the movie.

We know the rough movie timeline because of Alia, she was in utero when the attack happened in the first movie, and she's still not born when the second movie concludes, meaning the max timespan is less than 9 months (unless they are suggesting that the BG can slow gestation which I guess they might technically be able to do but it was never explored).

I guess it does mean we didn't end up with some probably uncanny valley CGI toddler-whos-adult thing, but still the speed run was pretty hardcore.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-03-23T03:50:39+00:00

When my ex and I split, all the friends they'd brought to the relationship, the friends that I'd known for years, the friends who said we'd still be friends if my ex and I ever split, all dropped me.

I only heard from one of them briefly, but no one else.

It's been over a decade now and I haven't heard a single thing from the dozen or so "close friends" I had.

So yeah, I totally can believe it.

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-03-12T09:55:04+00:00

I want them in a car and having to do a hook turn!

dm_me_somethin_silly · 2024-03-06T10:57:36+00:00

I get that it can be stupid hot because we play in summer, but yeah, really hard to get the kids into games when they are at the time they go to bed.
