One of those “democrat SLAMS Trump” headlines everyone always complains about.

Pinchflat isn’t being maintained and has a few annoying bugs already.

Someone was working on a “community maintained” fork that had a bunch of fixes and new features and were also working on a hard fork with even more features but then last week they abruptly overwrote the history of the repo so there’s nothing but a script to migrate back to the main pinchflat. They also deleted all the packages which means docker pull now errors if you have their version. Thankfully someone had a fork of that one saved but the person who saved the fork doesn’t have the programming skills to continue development so we’re back to it not being maintained.

Not the cheapest but Leolines and TomboyX have some swimwear to help you out with that.

These people declared war on Obama back in the day.

Star Trek governing bodies tend to include the founding species in their name so citizens of “The Klingon Empire” can be called “Klingons” regardless of whether or not they’re actually of the klingon species. The same doesn’t apply to any species like humans who are citizens of The Federation, unless you’re talking about the Mirror-universe Terrans who are citizens of The Terran Empire.

I’m using Tunarr which hooks up to a Jellyfin or Plex library and lets you customize channels and filler content (ads) with a bunch of different scheduling tools. Definitely a more heavyweight solution than those plugins but a lot more flexible.

You still have to find the filler content yourself but there’s plenty of playlists on YouTube and Tunarr also supports local libraries so you don’t need to clutter up your Jellyfin library with them.

Distance by road is probably longer than by plane as roads need to follow terrain instead of going straight from point A to point B, hence why the author felt it necessary to specify.

I was right, mazegills!

Thanks for indulging me.

They’re tough and woody so not many volunteers to try.

I know this isn’t !mycology@mander.xyz but I’m still sad there’s no pic of the gills/pores. Especially since these look like Gloeophyllum which have really cool gills.

Doctor Hiriluk was on to something.

I got started with jellyfin and never used Plex but there’s a bunch of rough edges:

• No apps on several smart tv/streaming stick stores, Vizio has an app for plex but not jellyfin so I would need to buy a new streaming device. Yes smart tvs spy on you but the alternatives people recommend either spy on you just as much or are expensive (Nvidia shield) and most of them still require side loading so it’s a major obstacle for sharing with anyone else.
• Casting from the mobile app won’t play at full resolution, you can get around this by using VLC as your player and casting from that but that causes it to frequently lose watch progress. Also stopping casting or playing the next episode doesn’t work properly with VLC and you need to rapidly mash “back” to get into the jellyfin app again and queue up a new episode.
• The current release of Jellyfin desktop won’t play audio for iptv streams, this is fixed in the dev branch but I have yet to find a build without other critical bugs so I’ll likely need to wait for the next release which currently has no target date.
• The browser version has spotty controller support that stops working constantly. When it does work it lacks any way to access context menus to mark shows as watched etc. If you’re using a flatpak browser to run it on steam deck or whatever, you’ll have codec and passthrough issues (Chrome is the only flatpak with decent codec support).
• Others have mentioned the security issues which you can bypass by putting authentik or something in front of it but then you can only share with people using browser.

Mycology is full of them which are mostly the result of genetic sequencing and the good old “where do you draw the line between species” question but a recent and high visibility one is the Collybia shift.

Before genetic testing, Collybia was a genus characterized by smallish pale-spored mushrooms with convex caps, no ring, and gills which are broadly attached to the stem (the simplest shape the average person would imagine for a mushroom), this became one of the classic “statures” of mushrooms “Collybioid”. As we sequenced Collybia species, they were slowly moved into other Collybioid genera like Collybiopsis and Gymnopus. Eventually this resulted in most of the Collybioid mushrooms being moved out of Collybia, leaving only the earliest-discovered mushrooms in the genus which were tiny parasitic mushrooms that weren’t really Collybioid at all.

Here’s an average “Collybioid” mushroom Gymnopus sp.

Then things got worse, a recent paper did a study on genus Clitocybe which is another genus which has a classic stature named after it, “Clitocyboid” which refers to smallish pale-spored, funnel-shaped, mushrooms with gills that run down the stem. This paper discovered that nearly everything we had been calling “Clitocybe” actually belonged in Collybia meaning that most mushrooms in Collybia are now Clitocyboid instead of Collybioid. This has resulted utter chaos which has some mycologists considering invoking the “common usage” rules in taxonomy to put the new Collybias back into Clitocybe to make things less confusing. This chaos has been compounded by the fact that iNaturalist has already accepted this name change, but only for the mushrooms explicitly studied in the paper and not their known relatives which has resulted in the Blewits being split between Collybia and Lepista (which itself was a recent name change from Clitocybe that everyone was still adjusting too).

Average nondescript Clitocyboid (no ID because these are nearly impossible):

A Blewit, AKA Clitocybe/Lepista/Collybia nuda:

The drawback to spaces is that people with vision issues or dyslexia lose the ability to make the code more readable in their IDE by adjusting tab size.

There are a bunch, some have the “eggs” attached with little strings to make them fling in different directions, some keep the eggs in jelly until they’re ready to be splashed out, some are weird little balls that burst open instead of cups with lids that pop off.

You usually find them on twigs, they’re hard to spot because they’re all pretty tiny.

Here’s some I haven’t seen mentioned yet. Live action:

• Man on the inside
• The Residence
• Interview with the Vampire

Adult Animation:

• Blue eye samurai
• Castlevania
• Pluto
• Pantheon
• Long Story Short
• Mononoke (I think only the movies are exclusive but the series is there too)

Kids/teen animation:

• Hilda
• Wallace and Gromit: vengeance most fowl
• Dead end paranormal park
• Kid Cosmic
• Kipo and the age of wonderbeasts

I can practically hear Cecil reading this in an overly cheerful tone on an episode of Welcome to Nightvale.

I wanted to get started without having to learn a bunch of Linux networking and docker stuff so I used this pre-built mediastack compose file.

Then I spent weeks fixing all the problems with it, upgrading the outdated packages that they pinned, sorting through the outdated/incomplete setup docs, and disabling the apps I don’t need (so many monitoring dashboards without config instructions). Now I know a bunch of Linux networking and docker stuff.

I’d still recommend mediastack as a reference just because it’s a good example of how to set up secure internet access (the diagrams of the network architecture are great) but their “full download vpn” config is overkill (most of this stuff doesn’t really need to be accessible from the Internet in the first place) and even their “mini download vpn” unnecessarily puts the Usenet download client (SABnzbd) in a VPN.

I’ve seen a few folks mention trash guides, while they’re great, their quality settings weren’t written for current hard drive prices so you might want to skip the part where you crank up all your preferred bitrates to the maximum.

One thing I added which is haven’t seen mentioned yet is Tunarr to create live tv channels for shows I like to have on in the background. It’s great when it works but it’s in active development so I frequently have issues with it. Thankfully the devs are responsive and helpful.

They said he didn’t have any justification that the ones he set before actually were necessary for national security. He’s actually got a possible justification this time, despite how nonsensical it is to use tariffs for this instead of sanctions.
