Yes, treating crypto as a way to invest is a scam. The vast majority of crypto and crypto-adjacent “projects” are scams.

We live in a world where payment providers have the power to force Etsy to delist vendors that sell sex toys to customers of a legal age, payment apps like Venmo or PayPal will permaban your account for selling NSFW art or products, and physical cash is being largely abandoned for cards and digital wallets. Surely you can see the benefits of a completely anonymous payment method?

To be clear, I vastly prefer cash, but there’s an obvious issue with trying to anonymously use cash to pay for something on the internet or to send money to someone who isn’t within easy driving distance.

Slam an Edge user agent up in there.

I grew up in Northern VA, and so many of my childhood friends still up there work in low to mid level jobs for the Federal government or doing IT grunt work for DoD contractor, and “lean Libertarian”.

Trying to figure out how they don’t realize that they’ll be the first to be culled after the political opposition is a complete mind fuck. Some of them claim the Libertarian label because they’re gay but otherwise Republican. Bro. Some of them claim the Libertarian label because they smoke weed but are otherwise Republican. Bro. Some of them claim the Libertarian label because they support reproductive rights but are otherwise Republican. Bro.

I’ve tried gently talking sense to a lot of these people for an over decade at this point. It’s slowly built to a point where I’m writing off friendships.

You should stop listening to whoever told you Debian is hard to set up or keep running immediately, and never go to them for advice, ever again, about anything.

If you can install Plex on Windows, Ubuntu, or MacOS you can install it on Debian. It’s not fucking Arch ffs.

Can you please explain how Ubuntu is more modern than Debian?

I’m just really flabbergasted that almost nobody has a non-docker option… like… it’s Linux, there has to be a good middle ground, right?

Bro. Debian. People here have said Debian. You’re talking about distros like you’re going to be using this machine to do your personal banking, gaming, or whatever else you use your daily driver pc for. This is a server that will run a service. You can install it on a headless machine if you want. If you don’t want Docker just install Debian and call it a day.

I mean if you want to try Ubuntu go ahead, but it’s just Debian with some extra shit slapped on top. If you want to try Arch going ahead, but it’s rolling and updates will bork your Plex. If you want to try Kali go ahead, but it’s just Debian with different extra shit slapped on top.

I’m not trying to be a dick, but I really don’t understand what kind of answer you’re looking for here.

My recommendation is to run your PMS on TempleOS.

Wtf? No I’m not defending anyone, are you serious? I’m just saying that the fucking newspaper headline is accurate and isn’t disparaging/insensitive to the victim in the situation.

Jesus fucking christ you are primed and ready to fucking go with your outrage. The article didn’t mention anything about the victim being a minor when they met, or about her being groomed. If that’s the case, yeah super fucked up, no shit. I literally opened the article after reading the post I responded to, read it, saw that it said the victim and Epstein were in a consensual relationship, then he raped her a year later.

If I’m missing context blame the article, not me dude.

You do realize that someone can rape their spouse/partner right? The article does state that they were romantically involved for a year prior to the rape, so ex would be appropriate here.

And his entire defense is “I never met up with her in person”. Yeah bro because you got fucking caught. This is not the defense you think it is.

He’s releasing this abysmal attempt at damage control because a former Twitch employee blasted the details on Twitter yesterday. I doubt the chat logs actually get leaked, although given the fact that he’s almost certainly downplaying the vileness of the I wish they would be.

I’ve noticed this happens when I click volume up or down repeatedly a lot of times in rapid succession instead of just holding the button down. It hasn’t happened to me since I’ve tried to be conscientious about it, but ymmv.

I’m just basing on the fact that two identical OLED panels, one in a 32” LG monitor without the app features and the other in a 55” LG Television with the app features, are about equivalently priced. I could be totally wrong though idk. It quacks like a duck getting fucked ¯\(ツ)/¯

Im sure they could pump out LED panels without spyware at pretty much the price they’re selling at now, sure. I have doubts they could produce OLED panels without the spyware garbage and keep them at an affordable price for someone making the median annual salary or lower in the US. You just have to look at OLED monitors to get a rough picture of this. A 34” OLED monitor sells for roughly the same price as a 48” OLED television.

I’m not trying to excuse television manufacturers at all here, it’s bullshit and I hate it, I just don’t have much choice if I want a TV. I just try to be as invaluable as possible to them after that. I don’t see what monopolies have to do with anything here though, there’s a huge of TV manufacturers, from Sony, LG, and Samsung down to bottom of the barrel Chinese brands like TCL and stuff.

Consumer protection laws that prevent data siphoning by TV manufacturers? Yes please. I’m just not sold on there being any antitrust/monopoly shenanigans going on.

While I get your point, the TV isn’t nice because of its app features. If it’s a nice TV it’s because of its display panel and features like upscaling, interpolation, etc., and it’s being subsidized by those built-in apps and tracking functionality.

By purchasing a nice TV, never using the built-in apps, and never connecting the TV to the Internet (or better yet connecting it to a segregated VLAN and dropping literally all traffic to/from the TV), you’re costing the company money on that TV set. Or probably more accurately you’re like the credit card user that maximizes their point rewards while paying off the balance every paycheck, you’re profiting off people who are in debt to their credit card company for whatever reason.

To be clear, I have a G series LG OLED that is not only in its own VLAN with no traffic allowed in or out, but I drop all DNS that isn’t coming from my pihole at the WAN port on my edge router, I watch stuff from a secondary device, and most everything I watch is pirated and streamed locally anyway, so I’m definitely subsidizing my entertainment with the privacy invasion of others. If I could get an OLED tv without any of the built in OS stuff I absolutely would, and would be willing to pay more for a SKU with that stuff stripped out, but afaik that’s just not possible.

RIP Red Storm Entertainment.
