They are planning to use KVM under the hood in the future. But who cares when we have qemu and libvirt.

Another issue is that zwave isn’t available in all countries (or it is but uses incompatible frequencies) so it’s less useful outside the big markets.

That’s the point of this standard, at least in theory. Same with the older but still common ZigBee standard.

Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.

I’m going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.

This exactly, as long as your phone has at least one frequency band of the provider, then it will at least connect to their network and allow you to access data.

In the implementation in Australia, you actually will lose data access too if you’re blocked (wifi still works of course). That strikes me as kind of dumb, but I guess they don’t want to give the impression that it’s supported at all, since the whole thing is about emergency calling access.

It’s not just the bands. You could have all of the needed bands and still be blocked (and you could me missing one and just get a warning).

…I withdraw my question.

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes that same rib twice in succession yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we, to believe that this is some sort of a, a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

My secret shame.

I mostly agree but I think we could maintain a lifestyle that is near Western levels, but done more efficiently. It wouldn’t be the same lifestyle, but it would be a good one.

I.e.

• dense, walkable neighbourhoods with mixed-use zoning
• trains, trams and electric buses instead of cars
• any job that can be done from home should be mandatory to do from home
• minimal to no meat consumption, especially emissions intensive meat like beef
• economic incentives and disincentives to minimise energy consumption and waste
• circular economies that re-use and recycle most things
• 100% renewable energy production (and eventually, green manufacturing).

Although even with that, it would be an easier job if there is some level of population decline, but I don’t think any encouragement is needed (societies where women are highly educated tend to have declining birth rates).

Jellyfin

Use the desktop client or jellyfin-mpv-shim and you’ll get HEVC support and superior image quality.

The road isn’t a better option but issues with grass in residential areas:

• Tree roots and other trip hazards
• People parking their 5 giant SUVs and pickup trucks on them (this can happen on sidewalks too, but it’s often worse)
• Dog shit that is less visible
• Road design is usually more hostile when there aren’t sidewalks since they don’t even consider the existence of pedestrians
• Sometimes it’s not grass so much as mud, particularly when flooding has occurred recently (which has gotten more common as climate change has advanced).
• Running on a sidewalk (or road) is better for reducing injury despite grass feeling softer (since it’s more uneven).

And on the larger sidewalks you can ride bikes on them relatively safely.

Can you imagine a world without influencers?

Owned by a man that is trying to elect Donald Trump, who is famously opposed to renewable energy.

Yes. See: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/specify-target-feature-update-version-in-windows-11.3811/

Or try InControl if you can’t get the above to work.

In Rand McNally, people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people!

But yes, Im pretty sure my little server I use explicitly for jellyfin will be fine

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t use Linux for that. You can make some arguments against Linux on the desktop (although I don’t agree) but Linux as a server has been clearly superior for a long time.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

It helps that it gives actual sources, so you can verify them. But yeah, not helpful if all of the sources end up being AI posts.

Can any of these work without some idiotic third-party account?

If you’re just talking about WMR devices (and not VR in general), then no, they don’t require an account. The Reverb G2 is the most supported by Monado (and has the best hardware), but I’d try to get the V2 revision. And the cable is a common failure point, so could be an issue with a used purchase.
