No, usually this is done behind closed doors and away from the press.

The suddenness of the firing, and the bridge-burning language (basically "he lied to us") rather than any sort of soft exit, suggests that it must be something in the "other" bucke…

The anti-snitching culture within this community seems to rival that of even the mafia. Perhaps that's why it's been called "the gay mafia" in the past...

CNLohr made a similar project three years before that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=aqqEYz38ens I know this stuff is dystopic, but I personally find it really cool. That said, I als…

This guy built a 32-bit RISC-V CPU in Terraria: https://youtube.com/watch?v=zXPiqk0-zDY

Yeah, rather than take a reputational hit, they've now got a reputation for paying ransoms to hackers. They will now be targeted by more hackers wanting ransoms.

It seems like the only post on here is a link to this post on HN. Well played, I suppose.... this is indeed recursive.

Thanks for the depressing reminder.

(I once saw a Google result for Stackoverflow that included a username in it. I never saw it again or investigated it further, though.) I don't know what's going on with archive.is…

I get a rate limit error when I click the text input (I'm on a VPN).

Yeah, I've heard of it and it looks great. But it also means I need to maintain a media server (which costs me time and money, and is also a potential liability in terms of copyrig…

When I used a Chromecast, I was fond of an even more direct method. On my laptop I ran a Node CLI called "peercast" [0] with a single argument (a magnet link), and it streamed a vi…

Apparently the overarching goal of Jellyfin is to always be able to "direct play" (no transcoding), but whether or not that's possible depends on each file and the client device. T…

I'm not certain, but I think it will avoid transcoding for certain "Web-native" formats that your client device can already play. For example, if you download an mp4 then you shoul…

I run it on my laptop, and when I want to watch a new episode of a TV show, or a movie, I search for it on 1337x.to, find the mp4 with the most seeders, copy the magnet link, paste…

Alternatively: don't have Plex accounts in the first place. Distribute the software in such a way that it can be deployed silently and independently of any connection to the compan…

If you're pirating content, you should retain complete control and security over your setup. How does Infuse enforce its yearly license cost? There must be some telemetry at the ve…

They didn't walk away from it. They were blocked from making the acquisition.

I've never understood why Plex phones home or why Plex the company has any insight at all into what's running on your Plex installation. I was never able to look past that, so I ne…

> Assuming there is a buyer waiting to take ARM private seems pretty unlikely. The whole premise of this comment thread is that ARM made more by selling 10% of its stock on a publi…

Oh my bad, you're right. I was thinking of WebM, which iOS Safari does not support. https://caniuse.com/webm

Maybe an iOS issue? I know Safari doesn't support WebP, so if Messenger is using a WebView on iOS then maybe that's why.
