If your HTPC supports HDMI-CEC, it will just pass-through the inputs from the TV remote, no additional ones required.

Same, then later learned about TAP being breached. No disclosure from the company itself though...

I'm a huge tech nerd that's currently employed as a Principal Engineer in DevOps. I really like solving problems - both strictly technical challenges as well as making developers' lives easier. Maybe I can fix yours as well?

I'm looking mainly for long-term employment possibilities.

> if given developer time continue to work.

well that's the root of the problem, no? there's no one who wants to maintain the complex lua written to make nginx cloud native. they were looking for maintainers for quite some time with no one stepping up

and I'm not surprised, their issue tracker always was full of very entitled people, so you would be doing a stressful/thankless job... for what exactly?

I recently discovered Pinchflat [1], which seems like an *arr-inspired web alternative, and works great for me - I just need to add the videos I want downloaded to a playlist and it picks them up. Also uses yt-dlp under the hood.

Also based in Portugal, big city, and had a shockingly different experience. Fights in the street over traffic violations, fights at the bus/train stops for cutting 3h+ long queues, people hauling multiple 5L bottles and emptying the stores...

I doubt everything would be as idyllic as you describe if the blackout went for longer.

I wasn't so lucky. KLM charged me twice for my ticket (probably because of connection issues when I was buying the ticket) and I wasn't able to get the money back from them because I was redirected between support and other departments, multiple times, and then getting ghosted...

Fortunately, I've used a debit card for the purchase, which made it possible to recover my funds by using chargeback.

FWIW, this wasn't always the case. I recall that BTRFS reliability was much different, say, 10–15 years ago. The post touched those ancient times as well, so that isn't that much of a stretch.

Around that time, SLES made btrfs their default filesystem. It caused so many problems for users that they reversed that decision almost immediately.

I've been thinking about it as well, as I wanted to upgrade mine, but I think I'll go with a Pinecil that costs 25$...
