Yeah, they actually said the quiet part out loud.

Existing Lifetime Plex Pass memberships are unaffected by the upcoming price hike; if you already locked in your sub at a lower rate, you won’t have to pay any additional fees, and your service isn’t changing

For now.

It’d be mildly annoying to have to switch to Jellyfin, or some other option, but I have no qualms ditching Plex if it turns to crap. Don’t ever give into the sink cost fallacy.

I definitely fall into the new subtype though the emotional dysregulation also crosses over with autism.

Pretty inspiring that she’s achieved so much despite her chronic health conditions. It’s also refreshing to see honesty about needing to properly rest to avoid burnout. Too often we see gung-ho statements from people about pushing through and remaining busy.

Seems to be the all time low sales price. Finally picking this up for myself.

Apologies everyone. Having been made aware of Mudfish’s background and ties to Russia, both through financing and original HQ, I’m now no longer buying this for moral reasons.

AT is dysfunctional, but this is going to be much much worse. With few exceptions, Councillors and Local Board representatives have no expertise in transport.

Can pretty much guarantee that any future investments are going to be based on who screams the loudest.

What all this does is accelerate the day when AI becomes worthless.

It was always worthless. Or, at least, it was always worthless thinking that LLMs were a substitute for reasoning AI, which is what it appears many people have been suckered into.

Seems like it would have been cheaper, easier, and better pr to just simplify settings or have them in more logical categories, but what would I know.

Very simply, how long before bed do vape or smoke up?

I’d been successfully treating my insomnia with flower for 2 years but recently when I’ve used it I either haven’t been able to get to sleep or stay asleep for more than a few hours. Normally I’d vape an hour or 45 mins before bed and that would knock me out. Now I find that my mind starts racing around the hour mark.

Mainly wondering how many people use it and then hop straight into bed.

I’ve tried swapping strains, tolerance breaks of a few weeks, and even zopiclone isn’t all that effective right now on the nights I don’t vape.

My wife had to explain to me that pickles were pickled cucumbers and there wasn’t a pickle tree.

I was 30 something years old.

I'm running Fedora 41 KDE and had what appeared to be an issue with the system not loading to desktop from the GUI login screen. I am getting a black screen with just the cursor and nothing else. I can get a terminal window going on TTY3-6 to reboot and doing so would load into the desktop pretty much instantly.

Turns out that there's actually a process causing total boot time from power on to exceed 6 minutes. Boot log is viewable here https://paste.centos.org/view/raw/8846c1ec

Using systemd-analyze blame I can see that smartd.service is causing 3 minutes of that boot time. From a quick search it seems like it might be doing a full SMART test of my 3 SSDs on the first boot of the day.

Does anyone know how to disable this at boot? There doesn't appear to be a conf file in /etc/ and smartmontools isn't installed.

edit with solution

Thanks @just_another_person@lemmy.world and @notanapple@lemm.ee for correctly pointing out that fedora was struggling to mount a drive.

I checked fstab and there was no entry for the drive. mtab showed that it was mounted even though the drive wasn’t listed. I tried to find a way to have the drive ignored at boot but the only results that came up involved setting udev rules and those results were more than a decade old.

In the end I found the drive listed in /dev/. Using

rm nvmeXnXpX

I deleted the two partition entries and it now boots perfectly AND the drive is now listed correctly in the desktop and accessible.

But it also created public sector boards (or “joint ventures”) where chief executives from various agencies meet and discuss issues and provide advice to a single Government minister.

If it sounds a bit wishy-washy that’s because it clearly is. Its stated goal was to tackle major underlying problems facing the country. How’s that working out for us?

I get that this is a right wing columnist and he’s paid to be anti, but come on. Companies always decry silos and that’s exactly what this was set up to overcome when dealing with “wicked” problems, of which NZ has many.

The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased.

Yes the notably socialist empire of Bloomberg, used by communist stock traders around the world, is biased against the totally rational and very cool Trump economic “plan”.

Maybe adopting failed economic policies from the 1920s (and older) isn’t a winning formula?
