I do this, but with keepass (keepass on all devices and then sync with nextcloud). Saved my butt a few times, I can go into the file history and pull an old version of the keepass db out of it, and then keepass has a merge feature, so I can pull the old file out, and merge with current to find missing records.

Anyway… backups good.

worldcat lists the institutions with this book https://search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you’ll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn’t have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.

I received a notification to use Door Dash yesterday, to order food… while I was cooking soup.

Alison also made a compilation of all the tik-toks of people reacting to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNa-8tFoUxs which I think adds a fair amount of humor (but I’m sure some people will feel this is beeting a dead horse)

Right, only one side of the connection needs an open port (and most clients will let that be either seed or leech side)… this is why having an open port on your end is useful if you’re downloading, since you can download from seeders that don’t have an open port.

If you want the instances to sync, you just need to sync the directory. (I currently use nextcloud sync for this, but in the past I used synching and before that btsync)

If they dont try to modify the files at the same time (with sync delay) there won’t be any issues. If they do grow out of sync, you can fix pretty easily with db repair.

the mastodon spam that’s mostly died down… we’ll see how that ends up. we saw similar things where admins got told to turn on approvals for all new accounts… which isn’t super scalable.

Anyway, Fediverse is finally important enough to send spam to, we’ll see how well devs can make solutions for spam on a federated platform.

But yeah generally agree, there’s no conspiracy here, it’s just fighting spam is hard… and having an account with X amount of Karma is hard for a bot to pull off (without leaving a really obvious paper trail of bots upvoting each other)

Something like that is probably technically possible, but you’d need to do a bunch of work.

Plex Plugins can’t provide media sources anymore, so you need to do the trick plex_debrid is doing where you add stub sources to the plex server library and serve the files from a virtual filesystem.

You might be able to re-use the plex_debrid code but use youtube-dl instead of rclone

When the program aired originally, VH1/Viacom would have bought time-limited, media-specific licenses (i.e. you can play my song on cable tv on this program for 5 years if you give me $x dollars flat fee.)

If they wanted to release the thing again on a different medium (say internet streaming, or DVD) they’d need to find who owns the rights (it could have changed if the rights were bought or whole companies were bought or whatever) then they need to pay them all more money, for a DVD they could offer like .25 cents per $15 DVD sale or whatever, but for streaming that’s a monthly subscription so the royalties all need to be re-evaluated (for ad-supported)

Anyway, paying lawyers/accountants to sort it all out is an expense in and of itself, (in the like 10s of thousands of dollars range) for like maybe 100s or 1000s of dollars in revenue, and it just doesn’t pencil out.
