  • In the US there is still a thing ad broadcast TV. Stick a TV antenna up in the air, free TV. Get a tuner card for PC and TV for your PC before streaming was ever a thing. Used it on my laptop when I traveled more. But with setting it up in jellyfin it works but is janky and needs polishing, and setting it up to download the TV guide is kinda a nightmare. With Plex life pass ( this is the feature that made me get it and dropping Comcast cable TV) it just works auto scans for channels and auto downloads TV guide, easy to flip throughout channels even my mom does it.


  • You seem passionate, go fight that good fight against skynet. But I guess some sarcasm falls victim to Poe’s law. You go do you I’m going to do me. As I said I do it feel better about my self as an irrational feeling human. Just like when you stub your toe on the side of the coach. Cussing and yelling doesn’t do any thing but it feels good. I’m not going to go out of my way to try and poison it. It’s all a little anecdote and the irrational side of me that I do and thought I’d share because I am acting like the meme. Haha funny right.


  • But when do I get to be the professor telling the AI to fuck off like the meme if I do it your way?

    Also I’m sure at this point all my conversion’s are being fed back in to train the next one. And yes I do know it has no memory or feelings or didn’t care and I’m sure Amazon cares about my feedback as much as Microsoft does. At this point like Microsoft I rather tell it to fuck off so the emotional creature that I am can feel better about myself without telling a real person to fuck off. Then do everything I can to avoid it and when the bean counter goes to the higher up and says no one is using it. Maybe just maybe they will see it as a waist of money and ditch it just like Facebook’s metaverse or whatever it was.





  • There have been many times when browsing amazon app that Rufas poped up with no prompt or anything, asking if I needed help and every time I tell it to F off and go delete its self ( fallowed by many minutes of me telling it how useless it is). I am sure if AI ever takes over I’ll be one of the first to be taken out as how brutal I treat it every time one pops up in my face. Playing Detroit become Human makes me feel bad but then I get over it quickly.


  • 3 Things stop from using jellyfin 100% of the time.

    1. TV tuner is janky and loading a guide for local channels is garbage. I like watching the morning local news and jellyfin just does not cut it.

    2. I want sub accounts. They used to have something similar but took it out for security reasons. I want to log all my TVs into one account but then have each user select their profile. So I can easily have a restricted profile for say kids then another for my parents then one for me then one for SO under the same roof. It will track each persons watched profile so when someone watches ahead it doesn’t mess with someone else’s.

    3. On the same note, controller/ HTPC remote configs feel janky. I know its there but its not a smooth and easy as Plex. This goes along with above for anyone who says just make another account. You try entering half decent passwords with small HTPC remotes or controllers. Every time you go to watch TV.

    If they could fix these things I would ditch Plex all the way. But as it stands I use Plex for my TV and jellyfin for my phones, tablets, PC.





  • You know when you make a sandwich or some buttered toast and you set the knife carefully on the edge of the sink. Well because you might decided to make another sandwich latter or your SO goes that looks good can I get one too. And bam your the hero because you now have one less knife to clean in the dishwasher.

    That is why I have so many tabs open. I know I probably won’t need most of them and it’s safe to close them. But oh dang do I feel like a hero when I get that itch for a video I want to watch and I don’t have to look through my history for next 20 minutes because, bam, its right their in that tab.




  • The article is about United States town and our laws here me being from the US. Maybe that is most of the heart of our difference of opinions. It sounds as though you are from Europe. And as I stated you are welcome to go elsewhere as you already are. If I happen to go over there I shall respect your laws and not record people. But me being here in the US I can very well record you in a public park I do not need your okay to do so, the news can also record you on the side of the street without your consent. As I’ve said I’m not sure I’m willing to give that right up. Insert typically American rally around the constitution and guns and fuck yeah team America bullshit.

    But its also the beauty of having different countries or with in the US each states has its own laws, as I or you can move to suit our own societal needs and wants without infringement on others. Well hopefully. Its not perfect but its all we got. Or possibly Democratically change said laws. Good luck changing the US constitution. I really suggest watching some of the channels I posted.

    I posted all that info ( you left off some of the public available info I listed) because it is public info and while I don’t know how making said cameras open to the public would make the world better. I’m sure someone smarter than me can find a way. Just like they found a way to make everything I listed great. Just like how the public makes Foss software great. If we make it, it should be public so the public can make sure it’s used for good not evil. It should not be held behind government closed doors. We shouldn’t be fearful of information. How long did they take to make GPS fully available to the public.

    I shall respect your right to privacy where you are from and I shall try my best to stop American imperialism ( free Palestine, fuck Israel and Slava Ukraini) infringement on that right. But I do ask you to not to infringe on my rights here afforded to me by my laws. Guns, fuck yeah. Though I do ask if this Orange wana be King overstays his term limit and doesn’t get the fuck out come 2028 I hope you come help us overthrow his pedo ass.

    Hope we can agree to disagree. With love stay safe out in this chaotic work. Edit world.



  • Sorry for long post I get not if you don’t read it. Have a blessed day anyways.

    Philosophy would tell us we are all actors and are wearing masks to hide who we really are. This is a joke to lighten the mood, wouldn’t want to fall victim to Poe’s law.

    First I am from the United States. If your from some where else I don’t know their laws sorry. Also I’m not a lawyer. I am just a hobbyist that likes public information. Shout out to DEFCON. Hell yeah.

    Yes, the first amendment of the constitution gives Anyone/everyone the right to record in PUBLIC. If this is not the case than please site law? This has been proven many times in Court. It is also what gives police the plain view doctrine. You are afforded the same right to film bad cops doing fucked up stuff and things ( fuck yeah Otto( https://youtube.com/@ottothewatchdog ).If a cop can see it in public they can act upon it with no need for a warrant. It is up to you to hide your drugs or identity or what ever from plain view in public. It is not my duty to turn my back. Freedom is scary deal with it. Shout out to the civil rights lawyer. https://youtube.com/@thecivilrightslawyer

    You chastises me for telling you are free to go somewhere else yet in the next sentence wish to restrict my rights and my hobby in a public space because you don’t wish to be recorded. If I was in a public park recording the trees or birds or the sick looking car in the parking lot, I should have the right to do so and not be hindered by you because you don’t want me to. Because you walked into a public park. I don’t wish to restricte you in any way. You are welcome to stand by me as I record the birds. But if you don’t like it you are free to walk away and go to another park. You wish to stop me altogether because now I’m the “problematic person”. How would you deal with this guy in your park? Shout out to Jeff Gray! https://youtu.be/UOTNJQdNRMo

    I would much rather have the right (and balls) to do what this guy does to keep our government in check. Than to be denied the right to film in public because you or anyones feeling about privacy. Shout out to LIA. https://youtu.be/Wb_9J4Rs18E

    You are also not as private as you think you are. Well maybe you are. I don’t know what steps you put into place to keep yourself private, but your problem to hide it not mine to turn my back. I can go to the city and pull information about any property/land , taxes, leans, fines, restrictions, history of ownership… If you own a car I can write down the license plate number and go pull records about the car. If your a public employee I can FOIA you salary and discipline record. If you stepped into a government building that had cameras I can FOIA the recording. If you have a business i can pull the license information. Your phone number might be listed on a white pages website. You can take steps to hide this info but you have to do it not me. You may not be as private as you think you are. Freedom is scary deal with it.

    We all use public available information everyday ( like it or not )and its not all bad. Some of it can be of great use and make life better for everyone.

    Have you used google street view. Its amazing, I’m poor at directions and being able to see where I’m going before I get there is great. I hate that Google hold this information but ecstatic that they make it public. Did Google ask for your permission before it drove by where you live? ( I think only Germany requires permission before google does this.)

    Most States ( haven’t been to every states site) have a Department of transit website. That has cameras you can pull up to look at traffic and road conditions. Google uses this public information to help you and everyone else for their morning commute or whatever, same with your local news. I use it to look at road conditions so I don’t have to rely on Google or my local news. Public information is amazing.

    Did you know NOAA ( https://www.noaa.gov/ )and NWS (https://www.weather.gov/ ) make their information public and if you have looked at the weather forcast they have probably got some if not all their info from them. Also you yourself can download their images directly from the satellites they have.
    https://youtu.be/cjClTnZ4Xh4 Public info is so fucking cool. No matter what anyone says.

    Did you know you can view and monitor the most of the world’s shipping traffic? https://globalfishingwatch.org/map Public information is how we get cool stories like this. https://youtu.be/2tuS1LLOcsI

    The same goes for air traffic. This is how we know billionaire’s use their jet to get morning coffee in Paris and polluted thousands of more CO2 than you in your morning commute. https://www.flightradar24.com/

    I very much disliked reality TV. It is almost as scripted as any other written show out there. You know what I love though. Body cam footage from police officers. Also courtroom footage. These are things I do not wish to go away because someone demands to keep their privacy when they step into a public space. It is also how we can keep our government in check. Check out.

    And many many more. All of which may be restricted if filming in public was restricted.

    If you think I have a god complex because I like to listen to police scanners or watch traffic cameras or any other public available information. Well I guess I’m okay with that because you are also welcome to they same information. Let’s all (everyone) go be gods together and use the information for the betterment of society.

    Public information can be amazing and make the world a better place for everyone. If these cameras go up I want them to be accessible to everyone. Like the article said the judge ruled. I would be happy with not having them at all. As I stated I am conflicted about the whole thing. I am not for law enforcement having unrestricted access to them. I’m also not for companies selling the data for whatever personnel gain they can get. If they exist I want them open for unrestricted public use like say GPS. Now if that isn’t some commy leftist shit I don’t know what is. (Joke about my instance I’m from). But I’ll be alright without them as well. As I said I’m conflicted and don’t know where the line should be. I don’t think anyone really does.

    Sorry for long post. I’m sure no one will read. Can I get more downvotes? Or a good discussion?




  • This is why I am conflicted. I don’t know where the line should be. I don’t know if anyone does. But like many things in life it is a balancing act with pro’s and con’s on either side.

    I know very well that cameras offent don’t do much if anything. The place I work has had cars broken into the cop’s looked at the video of it happening and them going yup it happened don’t know who it is so can’t really do shit.

    I mainly look at my cameras as a notification system. Like I said I know what’s happening on my property as it happens rather than after the fact. I also practice the 2nd amendment, now. ( a liberal with a gun what will happen next)

    I’m guessing your in the US but if not ignore. The first amendment gives the right to record in public for news, everyone has the right to record and disseminate that info for the public. Would it be any different than someone with a photographic memory writing or drawing everything and disseminating that info to the public as news? The 4th amendment gives the right to be secured in your persons and things but if display it for me to see its not my duty to turn away, its yours to hide it. If you willing give the cops your info its your falt not theirs for violation of your 4th amendment right.

    While uncomfortable, annoying and leads to people living in the basement with tinfoil over their windows, I would rather have the right to stand outside ice facilities, court houses, and public official houses on a public sidewalk, with a camera, protesting. Than deny any citizens a camera because someone was uncomfortable they where being filmed. Privacy in public isn’t a right but filming in public is. ( so we can hold our government accountable for the things they do.)

    Edit. I trust random Joe Blow with a camera more than any state.
