Sweden having fewer than 1% black people

Sorry, where are you getting your statistics from? The 1800s?

I don’t abuse alcohol. I love alcohol, so why would I abuse it?

Don’t these crawlers save some kind of metadata before fully committing it to their databases? It’d surely be able to see that a specific domain served just garbage (and/or that it’s so “basic”), and then blacklist/purge the data? Or are the AO crawlers even dumber than I’d imagine?

Unless you have somehow managed to get the source code, no, Plex is not free software unfortunately!

Plex Inc has a central auth server, and your media server automatically creates a dynamic hostname for connecting to your server’s IP. And if the user can’t reach the server directly for some reason (NAT for example), Plex has a “relay server” that works as a proxy, but your quality gets reduced to like 320p or something.

So if Plex Inc shut down their auth servers suddenly (or have downtime, which happened a couple years ago), you won’t be able to do much. It’s possible to bypass the central auth, but no one does it, because such auto-discovery is one of Plex’s benefits – user logs in on their app, and it shows all their possible servers. But otherwise, it’s self-hosted.

You can disable most of that stuff on Plex. But yeah, Jellyfin is nicer anyways as it’s free software.

I kinda like it, but only in the way “we’re at some kind of holiday resort”. I’d go crazy after a few weeks.

Think like this: for our sooo beloved politicians and legal systems, everything in life is seen as a transaction. Due to the fact that I’ve paid my “private copying tax” or whatever you want to call it, I therefore have the right to make private copies and share them with limited groups of people. If they want to restrict those rights that I have paid for, they would “need” to remove the tax – but they will never do that because it’s tons of free money.

But if they did get rid of the tax, there’s no longer that “transaction”, and therefore there’s nothing hindering them from criminalizing private copying. Sweden is already USA’s lapdog in all other regards, so you can bet it’d be repealed quickly.

I don’t support copyright laws either, nor follow them, but I can appreciate how it’s currently set up here, simply because it would otherwise become much much worse. At least here, normal people can do what they want without worrying about getting a legally binding order to pay 700€+ in damages like the Germans get.

No, it’s ackshully a private copying levy. I get what you mean, but it’s a “good” thing, because otherwise 12 § upphovsrättslagen probably wouldn’t exist anymore:

Var och en får för privat bruk framställa ett eller några få exemplar av offentliggjorda verk. Såvitt gäller litterära verk i skriftlig form får exemplarframställningen dock endast avse begränsade delar av verk eller sådana verk av begränsat omfång. Exemplaren får inte användas för andra ändamål än privat bruk.

Private copying levy. In Sweden, it’s called privatkopieringsersättning.

The state’s slogan is “Live Free or Die”, but they get so concerned about signage?

Google’s maps are decent and can also be downloaded to be offline…? But yeah, it seems like it’s a nice alternative, especially if you want to be free from Google’s grips.

But that’s all part of the same argument. If it was -f or -ff that’d make sense. Duplicate parameters are usually ignored in like all other programs I can think of.

How does the mail come in tho bro? Or is your mail server just a client machine?

Do you have a “spammy” TLD?

That guy isn’t an experienced weirdo-sysadmin if he doesn’t have ^L in his muscle memory.

All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money.

How do you come to that conclusion from their blocking of commercial VPNs? Sure, of course they want your telemetry as well, but it’s mainly due to the copyright owners/distribution agreements.

Your parents have root or what?

Probably is actually a “crime” for most building codes. International Residential Code for example states that “a minimum distance of 15” is required from the centerline of a toilet to any bath fixture, wall, or other obstacle"
