Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate

+1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.

I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears

Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that

Then why are there so many beans and jeans on my front page?

There’s this classic

I understood this reference

Fellas it’s been good to know ya

Either that or Nature Valley crunchy granola bars.

(Dwarf bread is probably based on hard tack, a puck of dense biscuit eaten by sailors in the far off days of long ahead. A bread so dense it would make US Southerners weep, and explains the lack of teeth on sailing ships far better than scurvy)

Amazing, and thank you for summoning me

It is highly likely this was the inspiration for the Scone of Stone, but I’m not aware of Sir Terry talking about it. The wiki editors certainly see a connection tho, and I think it’s a fair assumption to make that this is the thing and the whole of the thing

So i know (hope) this is satire. I’m also aware that people latch on to dumb things and propagate them, like Flat Earth and the like. So I’ll clarify that with a 2% morality rate there were literally dead bodies stacking up in the streets in NYC.

The only reason the right wing propaganda machine was successful in misinforming rural areas was because the administrations efforts to reduce/slow the spread of COVID, haphazard as it was, turned out to be successful in preventing mass deaths like that seen in NYC. And it was a close thing.

The thing is people are so goddamned gullible, so credulous of their media of choice, that a 30% mortality rate would only fuel more dumbshittery

Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.

Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.

I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I’ve had plenty in my hands

Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys

I thought the same

It would be easier to steal keys off of someone’s desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that’s a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you’re wrong in my field of expertise

Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I’m not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I’d have to say it’s probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I’m 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master’s m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn’t y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage’s SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.

How they do rise up

Something I find delightful is how Terry Pratchett worked this event into his novel Night Watch. Of course the Glorious Revolution of the Twenty-Fifth of May is inspired by many public revolts to oppressive rule, not the least of which is the June Rebellion in Paris in 1832. But it’s also no accident that some of the villains of the story work for the Cable Street Particulars, an enforcement arm of the fascist ruling Patrician.

Yes, and I love your username

Joshua Dean had a memory keen

He was strong and he ran every day

But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too

At 46, he was sent on his way

Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama

And he took a lot of pride in his work

He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly

And now he’s over his head in the dirt

You can know a lot

You can know a little

But whatever you know

Just don’t blow the whistle

I’m not sure, I’m using documents produced by a larger org. The message I get if i try to edit the locked parts is:

The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

Btw i tried using Google docs on these Word files and the formatting broke in all kinds of terrible ways.

I know the idea here is to maintain consistent branding among the franchises. Anything sent back to the parent org needs to be in docx format, with no changes to the locked elements. If that can be done with a FOSS program, great! Local use has more leeway, but broken formatting is a nonstarter

One of the organizations I work with uses Word docs with locked fields. How does only office do with that style of chestnut?
