I'd vote for this man to be president on the basis of his wardrobe alone.

A few months back I just opted out of google fi and that worked. Seems google's motto is more of the "Do be evil" variant these days.

With every passing day I come to regret more and more my ability to read.

I just canceled my youtube premium account after about 7 years of constant membership.

The recent price increase was crap. The service I receive hasn't improved - actually with their shitty compression even on "4k" videos my enjoyment has really decreased.

But, the big driver were ads. With premium I didn't see ads, instead I was increasingly bombarded with "words from our sponsor" all over videos.

Anyway, I recommend freetube. For now at least, it actually blocks all ads including sponsor blocks.

I won't pay a monthly fee to be google's advertising product.

I would never correct how someone pronounces gif, but...

  • Gin is a tasty drink.
  • Gerunds are verbal nouns.
  • Gentrification is a trend in urban environments.
  • Gifs are poorly optimized internet clips with controversy surrounding their pronunciation.

I'm disappointed to only now discover this content exists and has been absent from my life so far.

Are you running these in docker? If so read on otherwise this probably won't help you.

I encountered a similar problem with my Sonarr/Radarr setup and Prolwarr indexer. I would have no results in sonarr/radarr but would have results when searching directly in prowlarr. Ultimately I discovered it was a dns issue.

I had a custom domain setup to access my sonarr/radarr services (eg., sonarr[.]mydomain[.]com). When I'd search through either sonarr or radarr the program would ping Prowlarr, but prowlarr would send the results back to the internal docker ip and not through to my custom domain. So I was seeing no results. My solution was to just access sonarr/radarr with their designated ips and ports rather than my custom domain.

Hope you are able to figure it out.

VPN using Librewolf user checking in. This post got nothing on me.

I run arch exclusively and find gaming to be pretty seamless and enjoyable, but it does require some config. This is mostly because arch makes no assumptions so dependencies installed by default on other systems are likely not present unless you installed them.

I suggest running Lutris since it handles wine prefixes. Wine prefixes essentially do the work of keeping your individual game installs compartmentalized so each game has all the required dependencies to run properly.

Regardless of whether you use Lutris, the maintainers of that software have good documentation on installing wine and its dependencies here. The guide has a section for Arch and is particularly helpful for ensuring you have all appropriate vulkan or nvidia drivers and driver dependencies installed.

Best of luck if you decide to go down the arch path!

For me it concerns the intersection of privacy and piracy (and ownership).

My conceptions of ownership: I give money and receive a product in return. That ends my relationship with the seller.

But, increasingly (or almost exclusively on online marketplaces) businesses expect we will pay them for, essentially, the privilege of becoming their products. They control digital media as a means to record every action and behavior about us, the users, in order to bundle and sell our information to data brokers and other ad partners.

So, essentially, if buying something does not give me full ownership (possession of media) and is simply a means for a business to spy on me and harvest my data by controlling that media, then I'll pirate.

It's unethical and dangerous to use a transaction to spy on customers.

Pay: ESRB facial recognition + Denuvo system monitor + custom launcher with system privileges + game

Pirate: game

This type of stuff only punishes paying customers.

Person who does lots of stats checking in. That's a good question. We usually refer to Sigma (1-sigma, 2-sigma... 6-sigma) as the probability that an observation could occur by random chance.

The probability of 6-sigma occurring by random chance is about 1:1-billion.

So you're definitely right to characterize it as an outlier. In terms of sea-ice this means that based on our observations of ice extent recorded going back to 1989 (based on the image) it is extremely unlikely we would expect to observe a sea ice extent so far below the norm suggesting something else (climate change) explains the deviation.
