I really like the infuse jellyfin setup. Only two things that bugs me are 1: Choosing a movie and then cast member wont show all shows/movies for that casr member, only the cached ones. No big deal but a bit of a petpeeve. 2: And I think this might not be solvable from Jellyfin but more than one version/quality of a tv show episode shows up as a seperate show episode and not version of the same episode. Might not be a Jellyfin issue since InFuse cant handle that in stand alone either. Havent tried the jellyfin clients to see the difference there.

Back then there were only linear tv and no social media. I know in my social circles back then in Sweden it was even trendy to read and lots of discussions between friends and even during family events between the teenagers about books. So yes it was a totally different landscape back then.

Never tried it myself but this article as well as a couple of posts mentions it should be possible on a Mac if Find My is active on the Mac. https://www.soundguys.com/how-to-set-up-find-my-airpods-6213...

Reminds me of these that instead of actually heat or cool you just make you feel warmer or colder. https://embrlabs.com/

Was trying to configure a network bridge for a vm just the other day from cli. The guide (for Ubuntu which I was also using) was using nmcli (Network Manager), tried it and command not found, back to searching and was nudged to systemd networking by stackoverflow which didnt work either. Turns out that my system was using Netplan. Three different systems to handle networking, really? Ok, chatgpt convert this nmcli command to netplan, sure here you go just put this in your netplan config file and apply config. Ends up with a botched network config on a headless system.

He never got the car back, don’t know if it was picked apart or they managed to send it abroad. The security footage from the garage caught it on video so that’s how they knew that they went through the headlights.

I remember seeing a french documentary about the french criminal world many many years ago, there they showed a professional car thief using a device bought from Russia that he plugged into the ODB2 port. Once plugged in it reset the car and it could be started with a blank key. A co-workers friend got his Audi RS4 stolen from a public garage with the thiefs using the technique described in the article and that was probably 6-8 years ago so it’s far from new but maybe more widespread now.

Ask HN: How do you document and organize your scribbles/files?

blowfish721 — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 12:39:37 +0000

Hi everyone! I have this problem that I always end up with tabs and tabs of scribbles, copy-pastes, documentation etc in Sublime text. It starts off organized but ends up in a sort of chaos with little time to go through most of it and organize, tag and structure it. Tried different tools such as notepads (Sublime etc), OneNote and so on but it usually ends up the same in some degree. What tools are you using to make sure chaos doesn’t ensure? In a perfect world I would love a personal ChatGPT that I could feed the notes into and receive them back in an ordered, sorted and structured way but unless I can self host it I can’t trust it since notes contain budiness stuff as well.
