I do like a fancier coffee from time to time.

One cup at a time usually doesn't do it for me. I will typically make a 1.5L French press in the morning (for about 3 mugs worth). One gets drunk immediately and the other two go in a vacuum flask for later in the day.

Less accountability sure seems like it'll prevent scandals. Because there will be no way to find out that someone in government dropped $5K on hookers and blow...assuming that hookers and drug dealers provide receipts.

Points for imagination! That's somebody's next album cover.

 

I've seen most of the bands I care to see, but I would love to have seen Bad Religion in their prime in the early 90s.

 

This cover is a banger.

What this article didn't say was that Tod Maffin (the organizer) used to work for the CBC (where the article was written). He was a technology columnist for CBC radio. I actually met him a couple of times when he was on my side of the country (Nova Scotia).

I don't think this is true because Im not sure Section 31 even counts as Star Trek

" Breaking Bad - I had to force myself to watch 5 episodes. Just didn't get it.
" The Sopranos - I don't like mob stuff. I didn't like the godfather either.
" The Wire - this one surprised me because I generally like cop shows. Maybe I wasn't in the right frame of mind.

Damn it. This is one of my favourite bands. What's the protocol here, am I still allowed to like them? What if they get a new drummer?

Like the author of that article, I had never heard about Huginn until just now, but when IFTTT went down the shitter for me (around 2018) was about the same time I started using Home Assistant. I found that HA had every one of the service connections available that I used to use through IFTTT, so I naturally just re-implemented all of my flows as automations. HA has only added capabilities since those earlier days. It's not just for "home" automation.

If you're interested in more graphical representations of your automations, HA can have NodeRed as a plug-in.

If I could not just migrate to a new instance, but actually convert my existing (self-hosted, single-user) Mastodon instance to a GoToSocial instance, I would do it tomorrow. I don't want to lose the domain I picked for my Mastodon instance though.

I remember seeing somebody working on a project to convert the Mastodon database to a GTS database, so this may yet happen.

Edit: Found it. It was an issue in the GTS GitHub repo: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/128

I'm no international law expert but I don't think that follows the Geneva convention.

Weird. Do you think, and I'm just going to throw this out there, that there might be some correlation between the rate of vaccinations within a population and that population's resistance to disease?

This is a call for general testing of the next version of Navidrome. Don't do it if you don't feel like trying cutting edge software, things may break. Here are the steps to upgrade.

First things first: CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATABASE (navidrome.db*).

Upgrade to the BFR version:

Docker: use the label ghcr.io/navidrome/navidrome:pr-2709

Binaries for non-docker installations are available here - NOTE: Windows versions are not working at the moment.

Start Navidrome. It will automatically upgrade your database schema, and run a full scan. This may take a while, wait until it finishes.

Profit! If you find any issues, please report them here.

 

Is there any way to group zones together? I would like to define zones that are not necessarily circular in shape. I can accomplish what I want by overlapping several of them, but I really want to group them together and treat them as one zone. Is this possible?

I suppose I could probably script up a template trigger...

 

I recently added some files to my Jellyfin instance, and some of them had their metadata scraped incorrectly. This was no big deal, they weren't named very well. These files ended up being displayed in a "Season Unknown" season of the show. So I fixed the names, and the files' metadata was corrected automatically. However, the "Season Unknown" remained, with no media displaying in it. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Anyone have any ideas?
