Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.

Yt-dlp still works thankfully.

Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.

Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.

A bit of a bummer after recently donating.

The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.

Yup. It’s easy to setup the tuner in JF. We use Plex and Jellyfin frontends without issue.

I can second this. Been running Ersatz for about 6 months now after getting endless frustration with Disque. Currently have 7 channels configured, upwards of 2 to 3 active at any given point.

One of the things that seems to help with not dropping streams as much is configuring it to treat your media shares as local to ersatz. I had tried mirroring my Disque setup with Plex managing the libraries via Plex Playlists and it was sloppy and dropped a lot between episodes/media.

Anyways, +1 for Ersatz.

TY!

Would you mind DM’ing me that link when you have some time?

Unfortunately my external users don’t have access to my jellyfin instance. Which is unfortunate because I enjoy it way more for Ersatz channels than I do Plex

Thank you for the suggestion! I could try and see if my user pool would give that a shot but, I have some pretty tech illiterate people using my services.

My partner has embraced overseer though so it’s been a win in the acceptance stack in that regard. . since they don’t use Discord

This looks great. Thanks for the link!

The amount of corporate environments running old builds, 3+ patches behind or pro/home versions would shock anybody with an inkling of security awareness.

If you’re going to run Windows as a business and especially if you’re going to rely on Defender, you gotta be on top of shit. Most are woefully far outside of that

They’re not withholding, this is a normal lifecycle for their OS’es (technically this one is already an extended deadline due to covid). The fact that Win10 had a 10 year life is the first time they have done so (LTS builds not withstanding). The amount of vulnerabilities and patching necessary to keep that husk going isn’t worth the squeeze to them.

Even Linux builds are lucky to reach 10 years of support on a given kernel.

Mint Life Cycle

Ubuntu Life Cycle

The OS being unsupported is a terrible idea. Especially is you’re relying on Defender for EDR… either switch OS’es or upgrade. There is no sense in running vulnerable devices. You’re only creating more attack surfaces. I sympathize with the user that can’t afford an upgrade, but they gotta aware and accountable of the consequence. Arch, btw

Intel U7 and 11 Home?!

Hell yeah, I’ve never been more disinterested in what will surely be a trash experience!

Sigh, have a nice day.

I haven’t driven the id.4, but our car has a visual indicator that shows the percentage of regenerative braking efficiency achieved when you at coming to a stop. Hitting 100% is significantly easier in my experience with my test sample of 1 vehicle using the single pedal option, like everything though, I’m sure it’s not the same across the board.

If you’re reading the brake lights on the car directly in front of you as an indicator to slow down, you have already lost the plot.

A competent driver is actively driving a minimum of half a mile ahead of themselves with more than adequate distance between the vehicle directly in front of them to allow a response to changing road conditions.

The car doesn’t suddenly decelerate unless the driver completely pulls their foot from the pedal. This sounds like a skill issue on both sides.

I drive exclusively in 1-pedal. It’s a pretty quick transition.

Probably easiest to make an analogy to the transition to analog sticks for gaming.

It was a bit difficult but, once you get the nuance, it’s pretty game changing.

Couldn’t agree more.

I have a Mach-E and drive exclusively in one pedal mode. With my car you can still use the brake if you want. But honestly once you adjust to it, it becomes very instinctive to let it accelerate and decelerate based on the traffic patterns around you.

Now, if someone’s doing some stupid shit in Seattle during rush hour traffic I end up using the brake more but for 95% of my daily driving I’m just using the one pedal.

It’s honestly more jarring going back to driving my truck with a traditional setup than it was adjusting to the one pedal setup.
