I guess you are saying you only run Kodi? Yes it is Kodi with the jellyfin plugin talking to a jellyfin server that is the source of the few woes I have with it. Honestly it works really well, but when something is wrong I would say due to the UI it’s beyond most non-technical people to sort it out easily.
I mean, it’s free and it does work, so I won’t complain, but I wouldn’t push this on any but my most technical friends.
Doing my part to make this a good post, cause it was.
I use Kodi with the jellyfin plugin, but I can’t recommend that for ‘normies’ because the interface is not simple, and I still have glitches with it.
I’m also looking for a solution like yours, but wanted you to have that feedback.
Easy way to not worry about getting shadow banned - don’t be an asshole.
Didn’t you just post about this the other day? Stop it.
My mom let me figure it out for myself. I wanted to go to mass with grandma so she let me.
I quickly figured out the nonsensical nature of what I was seeing. When I found out I had to do a bunch of extra shit before I could get in line for Jeezits, I lost all remaining interest.
Been an atheist since. Probably was around age 12.
Every time I come back from a trip my cats are allowed to have their way with my emptied luggage for one day. Then it gets cleaned and put away. They love it.
I just double checked and yes, April 3rd did in fact come right after the 2nd this year.
They are such wonderful, unique companions! I’ve had almost a dozen cats in my decades of life, and every one had a distinct personality.
I have two 15 year old sisters and they are both magical.
One is a sassy, clever girl who craves more human interaction than she will admit. She begs for anything I’m eating like a dog, and has an insatiable curiosity. She is very loving once she knows you, but is extremely wary of strangers.
Her sister is dumb as a box of rocks and the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. She will only eat cat food or canned tuna. No interest in chicken, beef, dairy, nothing. She adopted my nose as a kitten and still has a fascination with excessively licking it, 15 years later. She is curious only about her next boring ass meal or my current lap location. She is instant friends with any human that walks through the door.
They both came from the same litter. 😂
I’ve had a lot of cats and loved them all but these two are special.
Ok I’ve watched it twice and I just want to know one thing. What the fuck?
I for one am not willing to feed a milk-bone addiction, no matter how good a boy he is.
Wendy’s puts your order in a cake now?
These gimmicks are getting to be a bit much.
Gotta disagree, for home use at least. I have found it to be the opposite of a nightmare.
Moving my home routing and firewall to a VM saved me hours, and hours, and hours of time in the long run. I have a pretty complex home network and firewall setup with multiple public IPs, multiple outbound gateways, and multiple inbound and outbound VPN setups for various purposes. I’m also one of those loons that does outbound firewall with deny by default on my network, except the isolated guest VLAN. With a complex setup like that, being in a VM means it’s so easy to tweak stuff safely and roll back if you mess something up or it just doesn’t work the way you expected. Turns what would be a long outage rebuilding from scratch into a 30 second outage while you roll back the VM. And being able to snapshot your setup for backup is incredibly useful when your software doesn’t behave properly (looking at you, PFsense).
All that said, I run redundant, synced hypervisors which takes care of a lot of the risk. A person who is not well versed in hypervisor management might not be a good fit for this setup, but if you have any kind of experience with VM management (or want to), I think it’s the way to go.
I’ve been doing it for probably 8 years now without any major issues related to being a VM. In fact, that made recovery extremely easy the two times my PFsense VM shot itself in the head. Just load the backup of the VM taken the day before and off to the races. After switching to OPNsense a couple years ago I haven’t had a single issue.
These days I run two identically spec’d hypervisors that constantly sync all my VMs to each other over 10GB NICs, so even a hardware failure won’t take out my routing. That is something to consider if you don’t have redundant hypervisors. Not really any different than if your physical router died, just something to plan for.
In the last 25 years working with approximately 700 servers that used RAID 5 I saw two of them lose an entire volume. Once was due to a malfunctioning HP RAID controller, and the other was due to a second disk dying while the rebuild from the first failure was still ongoing. There turned out to be a systemic problem with that drive model’s firmware which almost certainly contributed.
So in my experience it’s rare but it definitely does happen.
It can get worse. About 20 years ago the company I was at had an EMC tech yank the wrong power supply from a Symmetrix rack, where the other supply had earlier in the day caught fire! We lost that entire rack’s data (customer’s personal email accounts) due to data corruption. It was probably around 300 10k SCSI disks in that rack, a multimillion dollar expense at the time, and we had to restore all of it from tape over many, many days. Really, really sucked.
We also call them crunchies! And wet food is soggies.
Lap. Where she screams to be about every 20 minutes or so.
I have one that likes to do this to heavy plastic or vinyl. She doesn’t eat any, just puts little tooth holes everywhere.
I imagine it’s like popping bubble wrap for her.
Today I woke up to a bag of cough drops spilled all over the kitchen floor after I foolishly left the open bag on the counter and she had her way with it last night. And my shower curtain looks like it ate a frag grenade at some point.
They are still debugging the bot.
