Major version changes for any software from the OS right down to a simple notepad app should update as sequentially as possible (11>12>13>etc). Skipping over versions is just asking for trouble, as it’s rarely tested throughly.

It might work, but why risk it.

An example: if 12 makes a big database change but you skip over that version, 13 may not recognize the databases left by 11 because 12 had the code to recognize and reformat the old database while that code was seen as unnecessary and removed from 13.

Stuff like this is also why you can’t always revert to an older version while keeping the data/databases from the newer software.

That’s very subjective.

Both platforms have the option for mods to tell you exactly what you did wrong; and on both, sometimes they utilize that option sometimes they don’t.

It’s entirely up to the individual mods in each specific community.

Lemmy does generally tend to be a bit more open; just because it’s a growing platform looking to expand its userbase, so the mods make a bit more of an effort to create peace/understanding vs just ban hammering any problems into oblivion.

Reddits grown big enough that it can throw its weight around a bit carelessly and have less worry of the userbase collapsing.

No, no, no; We’re just giving Mercury a retro-grade.

I’m thinking maybe a C to C+ at best. I mean it’s kinda ‘retro’, but that’s definitely not the first description that comes to mind.

You probably should, but that doesn’t mean you do. It’s not like anyone makes you take a quiz to go wander around outside.

Plenty of people get themselves into trouble all the time exploring places/things they know nothing about.

Imagine being out exploring new islands, not realizing its low tide. You setup camp for the night on an island that’s relatively flat and close to current sea-level. Then while you’re sleeping the tide comes in and washes your whole camp out to sea…

Typical piracy requires you to search sources/indexers yourself, decide on the best search result for what you’re trying to download, pass that to your download client, then manually name and sort the downloaded files into media folders once the download completes.

The arr’s automate this entre process for several media types (movies, tv, music, etc), combining search results from dozens of indexers to make its decision on what to download.

Now, I open a webpage, search for a movie/show (results from imdb) and select an item I want to watch. ~15min later, that item has been found, downloaded, and sorted into my media folders where Emby/Jellyfin can display it to myself or friends.

Add on to this with Ombi, a requests platform that allows my friends+family to request media and have the arrs automatically grab it. Since setting that up a little over a year ago, it’s filled almost 400 requests (not including media I’ve grabbed/requested myself) without me having to manually manage requests ever.

Ontop of grabbing media on request, the arr’s also monitor the sources you’ve configured, watching for new uploads, and grabbing content that’s missing from your library but monitored for, such as: newly aired episodes, media that couldn’t be found earlier, or upgrades in quality for existing media (if configured/allowed to upgrade existing media).

Every time a new episode airs for a show I’ve added, it automatically grabs it for me. (currently 486 series monitored here)

That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.

That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.

Thanks again!

Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

Yeah, your home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.

It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.

Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.

I’m rather surprised by the disproportionate voting as well. I was just playing devils advocate tbh.

For the record, I’ve not voted either way on anything in this thread. I will say, you seem to be taking this far more seriously than perhaps you should. This isn’t the war room; it’s a throwaway convo with strangers about hypotheticals…

Are you suggesting someone starts WW3 by shooting Putin down? Because that’s what would happen.

Would it though? If you cut the head off the snake, will (can?) the body keep following its orders?

It’d definitely be chaos and there’s a good chance there would be some war. But I’m not so sure how much of that would be retaliation against the US vs an in-fighting power grab within Russia.

DNS-01 is in the pipeline at least, so hopefully we’ll see that bring wildcard certs along with it.

It’s nice to see this being integrated into nginx. I’ve been using ACME.sh for around a decade instead. It just triggers through a script on a crontab schedule grabbing a new cert via DNS-01 if necessary, then refreshing nginx to recognize the new file.

Medical science is insane sometimes

Did anyone call him out for this during the meeting?

There’s a public comment section, right? Straight up ask why he feels it’s appropriate be deciding matters of public saftey while actively endangering the public himself by distracted driving during this very meeting.

They work great until someone drops it and bends the frame. As soon as there’s misalignment it’s becomes frustrating garbage.

Working warehousing, I bought my own and tethered it to my push cart because every one in the building kept getting destroyed by other employees.

Marketing for the rapper, not for Tesla.

Until this; I’d never heard of that rapper, and this drove lots of people to at least find the song that supposedly led to the C&D/stranding(real or not).

And everyone is just like “that’s totally something they would do! Lol”… What?

Keep in mind pretty much everyone on this platform already hates Tesla and does not nor would they own a Tesla vehicle. There’s also a certain ‘you got what you deserve by buying that’ kind of attitude towards Tesla owners.

This is behaviour we expect from this shit company and it doesn’t directly effect any of us commenting on it. We just get to point and laugh (for now).

The discussion might be a little different if it was a less expected brand like IKD, Audi. But who’s to say for sure; there’s been a lot of ‘cattle’ behaviour lately.

almost nothing else…? Cmon OP, you’ve gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?
