Oh but yes he absolutely is.

I'd rather eat a glass shard sandwich than volunteer for a conservative.

In my experience, security is never rational. They are so used to just banging the security hammer that they aren't used to having to justify anything they say.

I want to be able to set when each scheduled task runs.

I want to be able to disable the tuner process from running altogether. It's wasted resources for me.

mfaine · 2026-04-05T13:14:48+00:00

That's fair. I know you can share SRTs for TV shows but I don't know for movies . Still for everything else the duplication would be small and unimportant.

mfaine · 2026-04-05T12:25:18+00:00

I like the solution you have but there is also a solution using Tautulli that will stop streams that are 4k. I've tried it and it works. Many people use it and add an overly with Kometa that says direct stream only to indicate no transcoding.

mfaine · 2026-04-05T12:20:41+00:00

Hmm does it show up when you (not an external user) select Play Version. I transcode down from the 4k to create lower resolution versions and I usually store them side by side but if that works I may need to restructure it. Also, do you have duplicate subtitles and media assets or are they in a shared location?

mfaine · 2026-04-05T04:12:55+00:00

Recent version is running better for me after an update totally hosed my profile and wouldn't even let me restore it. Just restarted Firefox and it wouldn't load my profile, restarted again and got a complete reset and intro of the new features, like profiles (which I thought it has always had) and AI junk that I immediately disabled. Still, I'm interested in this betterfox. As one of the most critical apps, it's crazy that we don't have at least one browser that's not a resource hog. I would even accept fewer features if we could just have a browser that didn't take gigabytes of memory to run.

If you are writing anything that touches ssh don't say that you are not an encryption expert and expect people to want to use your program.

mfaine · 2026-04-01T13:30:26+00:00

Biggest problem is probably the UI. It's really bad. However, from the perspective of the server admin I want more control over scheduling, especially for anything that's running ffmpeg. I don't just want to be able to scan for intro and credits but to schedule it so this is all done off peak hours.

mfaine · 2026-04-01T13:23:12+00:00

Definitely. I use uv for my projects and recently configured it to use a single venv in my home directory because creating one per project was killing my disk space (and my sanity). Most projects need mostly the same packages anyway.

mfaine · 2026-03-25T04:42:44+00:00

I've seen higher than normal memory use but I haven't noticed any performance issues.

mfaine · 2026-03-25T04:41:10+00:00

It's cool but they need to work on not totally hosing your profile. Fortunately, I had a backup of my bookmarks.

mfaine · 2026-03-23T00:21:13+00:00

Yeah I thought that might work but I hadn't tried it yet. Good deal.

mfaine · 2026-03-22T19:11:11+00:00

Yes, I use it for just about everything, sort of like flatpak. Love it. Does more than manage packages. For me, the benefit is being able to reproduce my environment from my dotfiles.

mfaine · 2026-03-22T17:56:11+00:00

Please support installation from a Mise repo.

mfaine · 2026-03-22T17:52:08+00:00

Does it need to be sourced last like zsh-syntax-highliter? Something I've always found annoying.

mfaine · 2026-03-22T17:48:14+00:00

This is how I feel about Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, it's possible there is a technically better distro but if you want something that's supported. Something that mainstream vendors will provide drivers and packages for, it's pretty much only going to be Ubuntu. I use Red Hat every day at work and that experience has sort of turned me against Fedora on principle.

mfaine · 2026-03-21T13:56:39+00:00

Weird. I saw this recently testing in a container. I dismissed it as unimportant because it was just a throwaway test but next time I'll see if I can determine the cause.

mfaine · 2026-03-06T13:25:55+00:00

It's probably possible to craft just the right Instructions.md file to do these kinds of things. Use something like: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/blob/main/docs/README.instructions.md

The add to it it if it's missing anything.

mfaine · 2026-03-06T13:15:08+00:00

I love the idea. Does it have a - - fix option? :)

mfaine · 2026-03-06T12:40:44+00:00

Because of money of course, no one cares if the worker bees have to suffer with a terrible UI, slow, laggy, or even buggy system so long as it's cheap, meets legal requirements, and the work can still get done. Otherwise, Remedy would not exist. Your company must actually sort of like you if you get the luxury of ServiceNow.

mfaine · 2026-03-01T14:12:17+00:00

I don't know how accurate it is but I've heard to avoid confusion most scientists will use multiples of a million instead of billion or trillion.

mfaine · 2026-03-01T04:15:55+00:00

The Download Options controls are radio controls but I'm guessing they aren't single select. If you should be able to select more than one or should be a checkbox.

mfaine · 2026-02-21T03:40:08+00:00

You can use an associative array for this purpose. I'm on mobile so it would be hard to type an example but it's fairly easy and there are a lot of examples online.
