Sean McDermott: "Somebody needs to step up" in Von Miller's absence
  • I'm guessing this is due to Miller choking his pregnant girlfriend last year amongst other things. Not the first time that these two have been at it, and the girlfriend has dropped the charges each time after calling the cops. Great player, not a great look, seems like a pretty toxic relationship from the various police visits needed to intervene when things spiral out of control.

  • [Discussion] What do you think about the longer wait times between seasons and fewer episodes per season format of modern TV?
  • Agreed, and the main reason for 26 episodes per season was to get a show for rerun syndication as quickly as possible which needs 100 total episodes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_episodes

    This caused a lot of high stress during filming to be able to to produce that many episodes in such little time.

    With streaming, companies like Netflix and HBO/Max are no longer looking to sydicate, so they can produce at their own pace a bit more. It sucks for the audience that is used to more shows, but I rather have a bunch of mini series that have a beginning, middle and end, than dragged out abominations like The Walking Dead. Shows like Breaking Bad that have both have always been very rare.

    Really good first person insight into how hard it is to make it on an NFL team while having to train during COVID year, getting cut from multiple teams, going on IR multiple times.

    > Lindstrom and a 4th round pick. Pens retain $1.3 million, Canadiens and Red Wings pay $2.3 million each. Contract has 2 remaining years. Seems like a relatively even trade of a veteran presence for a young defensman.

    > There is a good article from Max Bultman regarding several red Wings Prospects. It sounds like Pellikka still has a way to go but Johannson may be closer to pushing for a roster spot. I'm also trying to crosspost this into the NHL community since it seems to be pretty quiet in team communities during the summer.

    How do I Create a Post in Two Communities?

    I'm trying to figure out how to create a post that shows up in more than one community. There is a pull down menu to select one community but it doesn't seem like more than one can be selected. I think that I've seen other people do it. I've searched for it but haven't found an answer. The join lemmy intro website does not seem mention it either. on https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html . Is there a Lemmy posting tips and tricks summary somewhere other than the RTFM option?

    Backup Storage Options for storage RAID Arrays that are More Tolerant To Hardware Failures?

    I'm looking at different options for getting a NAS/RAID array system that is tolerant to not just hard drive failures but also to hardware/firmware and board failures. I've utilized a RAID array in the past that was built into the motherboard, which resulted in the motherboard failing and me having to ebay another one to get the RAID array back up and running. Then I bought a NAS 2 bay drive that was only compatible with drives up to 1.5TB. I've also used external drives for backup since I've been burned by hardware/firmware/software issues related to RAID arrays. Are there are any PCI RAID cards, NAS boxes or software RAID or other options where the hard drives would still be readable by other RAID cards if the boards failed? Maybe a software RAID solution? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Jellyfin Subtitle Issues on Roku

    I have been using Jellyfin on Android and Windows viewing DVD movies that were converted with Handbrake into M4V files in H.265 format. The foreign subtitles and closed captions have always been embedded and passed through by handbrake, and I've never had any issues playing the subtitles over th years with VLC/KODI/Plex etc. Even On Windows or android Jellyfin clients I've had no issues. My parents only use Roku however, and the only way I've been able to get the subtitles working for them is by creating a separate .srt file in the folder that has the video. I've tried .ass files using subtitle edit program without success. Do I need to reencode all my movies with subtitles and extract them as srt files for them to work on Roku? Or is there a better way to to get them working on Jellyfin Roku? Also, is there a format other than srt that is compatible with Jellyfin Roku?

    Lions trade with the Jets for WR Denzel Mims

    Apparently they're swapping a 6th and a 7th round pick for the former 2020 2nd round pick. The QB situation was a shitshow in NY for awhile now so hopefully Mims has the talent to take someone's spot. There are plenty of opportunities after Jones and Sun God for the first couple months of the season.

    Awesome interview. I never knew Holmes was in a car wreck that caused a stroke, paralysis and he was in a coma for awhile! He's lucky to be alive!

    Dylan Larkin Stats Compared to Alex DeBrincat since 2020

    Looking at stats alone, DeBrincat is likely to get around a similar contract as Larkin around $8.5 million. Is he worth the huge contract for the Red Wings?
