Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
  • But sometimes the only option is the one that I'll need to encode so it plays everywhere.

    I've tried to balance it out so I get pretty good quality most of the time. But it skews towards whatever "just works" the most. I want to minimize having to find stuff manually myself or investigating why plex refuses to play something.

    And I'm not a quality absolutist as long is it's good enough.

  • Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
  • Another option is to add tdarr to your *arr stack and have it automatically convert any problematic audio/video streams into ones your devices can handle.

    I have it set to encode truehd(?) audio since none of my devices support it and it also ensures there's a video stream that my roku device can play since it's a bit pickier than my smart tv

  • Film companies demand names of Reddit users who discussed piracy in 2011
  • I think many people just couldn't care less about pirating and believe the companies can't figure out who they are. For example, I discuss pirating stuff pretty openly on my reddit account. But every single comment I make, I consciously make sure to not reveal enough for people to dox me.

    I also don't have Facebook which is how most people figure out identities.

    "Hmm, they're an underwater welder from a specific small town and they have three sons. Well this is the only Facebook profile that matches that so I bet it's this person" type of thing.

  • The Zuck suck is in full swing.
  • Personally, I just found out about the Brave one. Giving that a try and it seems pretty good so far. Has an AI summarize at the top of the results which worked pretty well when I searched for a news item an hour ago.

  • What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
  • My cats like to look out our bedroom window in the morning. We have smart blinds. So I use an Ikea motion sensor to tell when one of my cats goes near our bedroom blinds and one of the blinds then opens just enough for them to look outside.

    Another is we have indoor security cameras to spy on said cats when we're away. But when we come home, I use Home Assistant to turn the cameras to face the wall and when we leave, it turns the cameras to face the rooms.

  • Wow! It actually makes sense!
  • It actually is the best for displaying all-number dates to people as well because no one in their right mind will ever do yyyy-dd-mm.

    So if you see the year first, you know the format. When the year is last and you see a date like 03-02-2023, you have to take into account the nationality of the author to know if it's March 2nd or February 3rd.

    But 2023-02-03 it becomes clear that it's February 3rd.

  • Sunken boat killing hundreds overshadowed by Titan submersible coverage
  • Yeah, the titanic situation involved submarines, suspense, radar, underwater drones, etc.

    The suspense was key, too. A race against the clock of oxygen running out. What happens if the drone finds them, but can't free them? Stuff like that made it a very unique story.

    So of course people are more interested in that one.
