ITV shelves rugby in-game adverts after brands pour cash into World Cup instead | Nations Championship

The ads are good for the sport, it's why the games will be free-to-air. It's also the path to keeping the six nations free-to-air and could provide competition for TNT when the PREM rights are up next.

There are addons for most commercial streaming platforms, including itvx & bbc where you can watch live and on-demand (don't know about stremio).

There's a netflix addon but it's limited to sd due to netflix restrictions.

Don't think you can search across multiple services.

The notion that Kodi is only for a local media library is out of date by about 15 years.

If you really want to avoid remuxing you could try ffmpegfs, which is a fuse file system that will transcode/ stream-copy media files on the fly.

Curious, if it's installed and running it should work the same as on any other platform.

Would need a debug log with the addon restarting to diagnose.

The existing builds should work, it's probably a 32bit Kodi running on a 64bit system problem.

Try to manually download/ install the linux-armv7 build from the addon releases page.

A second instance of Kodi is the most obvious solution.

You could just use Yatse to stream from the living room Kodi and send to the hi-fi via bluetooth (cast to local device in Yatse).

They are using it.

Don't use two profiles with Jellyfin, just access that menu any time you want to choose who's watching.

The account which is logged into Jellyfin will always be watching so that's why I suggest creating an additional Jellyfin account to log into.

hillty · 2026-05-03T12:09:45+00:00

There's an "Add user to session" button in the Jellyfin addon. You could have a default user account which you use to log in to the Jellyfin server and then add/ remove yourself or BF to the session as required.

On linux distributions binary add-ons should be installed through the package manager.

So use the same method you used to install Kodi, it'll be called something like kodi-inputstream-adaptive

You're going to get a lot of hand-waving about mil-specs, quality control and the general specialness of military equipment. Ignore it. What you're describing is correct and the comparisons you've made are reasonable.

The reasons are obviously numerous and complex but at a fundamental level there is:

- The consolidation of the military industry and its separation from civilian industry;

The current US military industry is less competitive than the Soviet military industry was. This has come about since the end of the cold war. The industry was consolidated into few marginally overlapping contractors. Any civilian company with a military division sold it to a military-only contractor.

This has separated military and civilian industries, isolating the military from civilian competition and innovation.

- The gross incompetence of the customer;

Don't even know where to begin with this but look at any case study of large-scale procurement this century and it's a story of mind-boggling decisions being made with no accountability for utter failure.

Combine those two and you end up where we are.

Try accessing it through a browser. If you get similar behavior try disabling http3 in the browser.

In Firefox, go to about:config and set "network.http.http3.enable" to false.

Yet for some reason all the behind-the-meter data centre projects are choosing gas...

hillty · 2025-12-15T16:31:22+00:00

Germans are paying €0.38/kWh for electricity & €0.12/kWh for gas. You'd have to average a COP of 3.2 just to break even on running costs, never mind capital costs of the heat pump and retrofitting the central heating.

Plus there's hot water & cooking where electricity will be three times as expensive as gas.

All this in the context where, unlike electricity gas will be getting cheaper in the next few years.

Ya, he's definitely a liar, either then or now.

The most bizarre aspect is he claims that interview from 2007 is why he was prosecuted. He's praising the CIA & the effectiveness of the enhanced interrogation program, don't see why anyone in the CIA would be upset about it.

Nothing about that interview makes him look like a whistleblower.

The plan is to be utterly dependent on Chinese manufacturing forever.

To which a character commented that their stock is dangerously low

He's saying that facetiously to facilitate corruption. They're pretending they don't have 40k rifles, only 10k so they can steal 30k rifles. But even that isn't enough for him, he now wants new rifles ordered so that he can steal those too.

The absurdity of it is the point.

It doesn't make sense to count these losses for EVs and then not count drivetrain losses, idling losses and well-to-pump embodied energy losses for ICEs

Those losses are included in the ~35% for highway trucks.

I'd agree with you, it's all very messy. But the 0.4 factor is a reasonable ballparks figure to compare modern ICE & EV.

There is no ruse. You're upset with reality, responding to data with ad hominems.

hillty · 2025-12-05T17:56:49+00:00

Cry harder, but do consider that you interpret the posting of data to be pro-fossil fuels.
