You are correct, I’m on ESR apparently.

Looks like that’s coming in Firefox 117 (we’re at 115 currently).

what does it even matter. Just ignore it.

Society isn’t really good at knowing what it requires. And sometimes it’s better to be cautious. Also capitalism breaks down in certain markets, one of which is the “job market”.

Any market that involves a lot of players and little oversight will get manipulated like crazy, including the job market. Employers try to counter that, but in the end the people that are best at getting hired for a job get that job, not the people that are best at doing that job. How could it not be?

And that includes the jobs of the people that do the hiring. So it’s a market that’s rife with inefficiencies.

It’s not just that the person would be expensive. Systems like that require system specific knowledge. So it’s possible that it would take an outsider 3 months of study to get to the point where they can fix an issue properly in 5 minutes.

You can’t make a baby in 1 month with 9 mothers. Some tasks just have an upfront cost and SOME IT automation jobs are like that.

And yes, you can try and do bodge job after bodge job “just to keep it going”. And that works for some time. But eventually the small mistakes end up causing large outages. And then you need someone that can piece together how the small issues cause big outages.

Go with docker images and save your setup files/commands, so you can always redeploy on a NAS/new server later. Go with lscr.io/linuxserver images.

It probably took me a good 20 hours to setup. Then dozens more hours to get my existing library imported, but that’s just part of the process.

Initially it is time intensive, but it’s totally worth it. Make sure you make proper backups, so you don’t lose your work.

Some people just want lossless media.

And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

If you read it, it becomes clear that the issue is that Colorado wrote a stalking law that is in conflict with the first amendment. Something that can easily be corrected going forward, if it hasn’t been corrected already.

So he was convicted in Colorado, but the proof for that conviction was not good enough for a federal court.

That would make no sense, right? I mean I could get it if the admins put it private, but not with that specific message:

The sub is closed indefinitely and will not reopen.

Unless it was never changed, I guess.

It’s still an odd response if it’s admins.

• Set your sub to private: Now you get told to open it.
• Set your sub to NSFW: Now it gets set to private.

Seems contradictory. Not that that’s a reason for it not to be true of course.

Just change the rules of the sub to include NSFW and then set the whole sub to NSFW. Reddit doesn’t advertise on NSFW subreddits, so the sub is open, but you impact reddit’s bottom line.

I don’t see why not? Not the actual IPO, but as soon as there are shares on the market, you can short them.

IPO stocks can be sold short once they are trading on public markets

I’ve used that mechanism as a moderator intentionally.

Some subs just get a lot of low effort, low quality posts, by setting certain automated rules, you can filter out people that don’t read any submission instructions. In practice those are nearly always low effort.

A simple example is “set post flair to X before clicking on submit” and if they don’t do that, just autoremove the post and tell them why and to contact the mods if they disagree.

Anyone that cares will delete and resubmit correctly. Anyone that doesn’t really care will move on to something else.

I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.

@Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says “some moderators are addicted to power.”

Which is true. You are also right, most aren’t. But some are.

I always think about Ted Haggard when this comes up.
