Ah, an evergreen meme.

Same. The headline is journalistic malpractice at best. Joss was murdered by a homophobic terrorist.

Before spending all that money talking to another doctor, talk with a lawyer who knows healthcare related law. If your full time job has an employee assistance program, it may cover a consultation with a lawyer. A lawyer will be able to tell you what rights you have at a federal, state, and local level, and should know if there is a process to compel the hospital to restrict your records.

The mayor is an elected official, the governor can’t just fire him. The fact the US DOJ was investigating and probably going to prosecute likely led to any state investigation being ended, due to federal investigations taking precedence.

I’d say just don’t engage with it at all.

If someone talks about it, pretend ignorance. Like total ignorance of any aspect of the stories.

Or, if someone mentions it, just say you don’t give bigots money.

Editing to expand: by pirating you are perpetuating the cultural impact. The majority of people pay for access to this media, and by engaging with it you make it more costly for other people to skip it.

What could possibly give them that impression?

Oh. Oh wow. Okay, that makes sense.

Got kids? Percy Jackson (and the other Rick Riordan written) series are great. Older kids? Get them reading chuck wendig or Margaret Killjoy.

Introduce yourself to Kafka and Marquez and Butler and Morrison and so many other great great writers who make JK Rowling look like the utter hack she is.

But you’d possibly be making life better for people in general, depending on which politicians you chose to destroy (and in what way you destroyed them.)

To be fair, the LotR trilogy is 3 movies at ~3.5 hours, which is 10.5 hours—close enough to 11 hours.

Now, if you’re not getting character development and world building in much less time than that, it’s either a problem with execution or expectations.

 

I’m a noob with sourdough and I have been having a hard time getting information on how to maintain a consistent amount of starter. Is it generally appropriate to discard half and replace that half with fresh flour and water?

Related, is “discard” in any meaningful way different from the starter itself, or are the recipes for discard scones/crackers/whatever just labeled that because you aren’t using the starter for rise?

 

I started reading this book by Gabor Maté, a doctor who has ADHD. In just the first chapter, I felt seen in a way that I have never experienced with any therapist or psychiatrist I have consulted in almost 47 years.

Over 7,000 students see their lunch debts wiped after $1 million donation

Over 7,000 students in Georgia with unpaid lunch balances are getting a helping hand following a $1 million initiative from the Arby's Foundation, the nonprofit announced Thursday.

 

I installed Jellyfin on an iMac running Fedora 39/Gnome and it was running more or less without any issues. However, I wanted to have the iMac on a VPN which would prevent accessing content indexed by Jellyfin elsewhere. So I installed Ubuntu on an old Mac Mini that I had, planning to make it a NAS box as well as host Jellyfin. The install there did not go well at all, I got the error "The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty."

I found a post on github where a user created the directory listed in the error and then copied from /usr/share/jellyfin/web/ and when I did that the startup went further but then it threw the error "Kestrel failed to start! This is most likely due to an invalid address or port bind - correct your bind configuration in network.xml and try again."

I could not find a clear answer as to where the "network.xml" file is located, and I couldn't find any files that seemed to have the contents that were expected in network.xml. I put that aside for another day, considering a different distro if there are any others that are better with jellyfin than Ubuntu.

Today I was going to watch something that had been working on the Fedora box, and it would not play. I checked systemctl and jellyfin was not running. I tried launching it from the terminal and I got the same "server is expected to host the web client" error I had before.

Has anyone else run into these issues? Is there any better documentation out there than what is on the jellyfin site? Any help is much appreciated.

 

I installed Fedora 39 on an old iMac I had with a fusion drive (128GB SSD +1TB spinning disk.)

Fedora is installed on the SSD, and I want to use the spinning disk as a media drive. Problem is, it does not mount by default, so I figure I need to edit /etc/fstab to have it mount at startup.

I’m at work so I SSH into the iMac and get the UUID for the disk and then open fstab in vi, enter the new line with the uuid, directory I want the drive mounted in (/media), the filesystem (ext4) and the options. Try to write and quit, get an error the file is readonly. Try to set the file to noreadonly, write fails again. Try :wq! and get the error the file cannot be opened to write.

Exit vi, ls -la and see the file is read-only.

sudo chmod 644 fstab, put in password. ls -la shows file is still read only. lsattr fstab, immutable flag is not set.

Is this happening because I’m on SSH, or is there some other issue?
