This is what it’s about, isn’t it? 😆

Ah, yea, that seems more like something that wasn’t intended for breaks.

Definitely disruptive.

Oxygen has an interesting plot, similar, but not it.

I think the prison angle in this film wasn’t the main premise. Just how a technology was used.

There was an eye drop that delivered a drug or something that could…do something to your brain.

Uggh, wish I could remember more.

Similar style, but that was a mini-series (for lack of a better description).

This was a movie (IIRC), and she was held in a prison in her mind (so she thought), I can’t remember the details. Futuristic, but not very far into the future.

There was another movie around this idea very recently, maybe a couple years ago. Can’t remember the name though.

Young woman in isolation, think she helped create the system, maybe was on Netflix like 4 years ago?

I don’t mind those breaks… It feels like going to the next chapter in a book.

But actual ads, yea, not for a service that costs.

Though this whole thing is funny - they collect even more user data than they did with cable or broadcast, and now want to show you ads too.

Can’t wait to finish my media server setup.

Killer album, really shows their musical chops. I’ve listened to it so many times.

It’s reminiscent of Medeski, Martin and Wood.

Bad faith, for sure, made very clear in the last 20 years.

Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?

Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).

You later move on to attacking the person, rather than the argument (more sophistry).

You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.

DDOS can happen just from a script hammering on an exposed port trying to brute force credentials.

What?

I’ve popped up a web server and within a day had so many hits on the router (thousands per minute) that performance tanked.

Yea, no, any exposed service will get hammered. Frankly I’m surprised that machine I setup didn’t get hacked.

Interestingly (I just found this out) Android permits 1 VPN connection per user profile.

So I run a VPN in my regular profile, and found my work profile wasn’t using it. So I installed Tailscale there, and it works only in the work profile, while my regular VPN only works in my main profile.

If always assumed VPN config was a system-wide thing.

Wow, that’s pretty out there.

Yea, pizza places have gotten out of hand in recent years.

Adding a delivery fee (which doesn’t go to the driver) from locations that only do delivery.

How about fuck you and your delivery fee. Which is why I refuse to have pizza delivered any more. Plus they invariably get lost, though we’re a few hundred yards from their store.

Little Seizures sells the same pizza for half the price, or less, than Papa John’s, before those fees are tacked on.

I’ve tested converting DVDs at different resolutions, and playing them on a 60" screen sitting 6’ away.

720 is just fine. I really can’t tell a difference between 720 and 1080, usually. Surprisingly.

Static IP address and Dynamic DNS can expose your network to attackers on the internet. With Holesail, you expose only the port you choose.

Er, wut? If you’re exposing a port, then your public IP is being used, as a port is a subset of an IP interface. So even Holesail uses the public IP in some way…thats how the internet works. Unless they’re only making outbound connections, which isn’t a new idea at all - Hamachi was doing it 20 years ago.

This sounds like FUD to me - of course your public IP is used, whether static or dynamic. How do they supposedly mitigate this risk?

There’s nothing on the home page saying how it works, or how it’s different than current solutions.

I’m intrigued to see a new tool in this space, but this one is starting off leaving a bad taste. Even Tailscale admits they use Wireguard, and even have a comparison between Wireguard and Tailscale that’s pretty honest (though they focus on what Tailscale adds).

Being open and transparent is a minimum today - anything less and it’s not worth the time for a second look.

These magnetic attachments hint at functionalities similar to Apple’s MagSafe,

Or perhaps, Motos concept that was in production 10 years ago?

Last I checked Magsafe did nothing like this, only charging/connecting.

My takeaway: jetflix developed a model that worked. Just need to replicate that many times.

Would probably work well for sharing with family /friends.

Guess we’d need to qualify it with more in our personal libraries that we actually want to watch. Lol

piracy run by a couple random schmucks has an infinitely better service AND content selection than the top 4 corporate streaming services combined"

FTFY 😁
