They didn’t say in the message what they are moving me to, just that it’s $6 more per line so another $18 per month… This after they ended the autopay discount unless you gave them direct access to your bank account (and for me that would mean losing the phone insurance provided by MC world).

… From Goodwill or checking them out from the library right?

I do… Usually I bond them with a deadly gas first though (salt).

What’s weird about titanium dioxide?

I haven’t had any issues with it being behind NginX, but I have heard about people having issues (I’m just lucky I guess).

I thought they ended the reduced home internet program.

Yeah, I’m a bit pissed that the military plan is changing. Bill for me is going up around $20.

Yep, as far as I’m aware, it’s the only way to use a separate IdP with the official apps.

I honestly need to learn your ways and sell the rack of stuff in my basement. Right now I’ve got an old R720XD with 12 spinning metal drives and 2 SSDs, then another old Intel box the local government used for VOIP (I’ve only got 7 spinng rust and 1 SSD in there), then the R610 that I use for homeassistant and a few VMs…

I’ve also got a smaller desktop for jellyfin/Plex and an old MicroServer (gen8) for a firewall…

I could 100% save some power I just need to learn what I actually need.

I quit buying consoles after I bought the Destiny edition PS4, it came with Destiny (awesome), but right after I got it they released an expansion so everyone was playing stuff I couldn’t. I honestly thought it was going to come with something like a season pass or something.

I’ve been using B for so long it’s just muscle memory at this point. No real reason beyond my NCO saying it was the right way.

Yeah, natively Jellyfin supports LDAP (1st party plug-in anyway), which means I can use my personal IdP to centrally manage accounts and it works across all their apps I’ve tried (as oppose to the OIDC plugin which seems to still break their apps).

Which authentication method are you wanting for it? I wouldn’t call myself an expert but my job stuck senior in front of my title a few years back.

This is all I could see in reading mode (a little more than where it faded to nothing)…

Cops Keep Getting Arrested for Using Flock to Stalk People Jason Koebler 2 - 3 minutes

For months during the summer of 2024, Jarmarus Brown, an Orange City, Florida police officer, ran his ex-girlfriend’s license plate through the Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) system lookup database at least 69 times. He searched for the license plate belonging to her mom at least 24 times, and searched for the license plate belonging to her dad at least 15 times. Brown’s searches were happening so often, and were so commonplace, that even one of his colleagues noticed Brown researching his ex-girlfriend’s whereabouts while the law enforcement officers sat in their police cruisers, according to court records obtained by 404 Media.

“While they were sitting there, Officer [Shadrich] King noticed Jarmarus was on the Flock system and a license plate reader image of [Brown’s ex-girlfriend] was on the screen,” a police affidavit about Brown’s behavior obtained by 404 Media reads. “Officer King said he mentioned to Jarmarus that he needed to stop running her vehicle in that system because he could get in trouble. Jarmarus responded saying that he knew that, and he was going to stop.” Flock’s automated license plate readers document every car that drives past them, creating a broad network of people’s movements around the country. Police can then look up license plates to learn where a specific car and, by extension, person, has traveled over time.

I’m just about your age and have been in IT for a long time… I feel pretty done with it and just need 918 more days until I’m fully vested for retirement. Granted I cannot afford to retire at all but I grew up in abandoned houses, literally poor enough that I didn’t attend school as that just caused a stream of visits from child services so I’m hoping to be able to buy a piece of property when we sell our house.

I know I’m in a “better” place than I was growing up but I don’t know how many more 3 hour meetings with Microsoft engineers where they give me AI slop I can stand.

A lot of stores keep track of which aisles you spend more time in, that information is then shared with their “partners” (ad networks). By the time you made it home, they had already shared that you bought bits and that your device spent a while looking at cabinet hardware.

They don’t make boots like they used too. My boots from back then (just over 20 years old now) are still in great shape, Bates made some rock solid boots back then (either that or all the polishing in basic made them invincible).

As long as they understand those electricians and plumbers should be charging them 5-10x what they are charging now. If their AI can’t do it, it’s gone from blue collar to bespoke work.

Well you definitely can’t let it leave after hitting you, it’s got to remain at the scene to exchange insurance information. Hit and runs should be treated the same as a delivery driver hitting someone then leaving the scene.

If you use an adhesive bandage, you can position it so it doesn’t get glue on the lens (if you ever actually use it).
