    Super cool. I love how baseball tends to be easily represented through text.

    "But they will", "They do, but they don't know", "They do, indirectly" I don't get these comments.

    So exactly as we "modern" people are to the Amish, yet the Amish persist in its way of life.

    Some have expressed the opinion in this forum that the future of software lies in programs that are created and adapted at runtime, using genAI. I don't know how far we are from th…

    Yes, I'm surprised no one else has commented on this. Some regulations require that at least some backups be located in the same country or region.

    No numbers provided, but from TFA: >In Slovenia, this has resulted in so-called "fuel tourism", as drivers from neighbouring countries, particularly Austria, take advantage of the …

    One of the best open-source tools out there. I'm a frequent user of Plex, Jellyfin, Tunarr, local music files, etc. I use it weekly to extract subtitles, trim videos, convert music…

    For me, the best solution is a mixed one. My Plex has a curated list of tv shows and movies. Then I have Tunarr for "live" channels from own my selection. Best of both worlds.

    Let's be honest: People have no problem polluting elsewhere as long as they can consume the final product without suffering the consequences. TFA isn't important to the people of C…

    Perhaps the whole cybersecurity theatre is just that, a charade. The frenzy for these tools proves it. IoT was apparently so boring that the main concern was security. AI is so muc…

    Super cool. Installed. It would be great if the f and b keys for moving between navigation elements circle back to the first element once reached its end.
