@b3ll @caseyliss Actually yeah - NAS auto-move / rename events vs Plex scanning would be my first guess, and something that's bitten me before too

@wizard Honest to god, this is one of the best reasons for ditching GApps

I found a phone I *like*, it is re*pair*able, and it works the way I damn well *want* it to - right up until the Google Play Services system requirements get so damn high the device slows to a crawl

Dropping Google means finding something I like, and getting to keep it for several years

Problem: My Invidious instance keeps 504'ing due to too many open files

"Solution": Bump the restart interval to every 10 minutes instead of every 30

@MissingThePt The Italian Olympic village ran out of condoms in three days,

...and we're assuming they're going to *fight* each other?

@nycki Hell, as a big fan of Matrix, even I will point out it's far from perfect

But the alternative is currently boiling the frog for requiring ID, *immediately* after having their chain of custody breached for that very information, which makes the choice fairly straightforward

Shoutout to the BC government using a public, non-fancy (read: accessible) website for posting updates about the bridge replacement

It's not Twitter, and I'm debating emailing them directly to tell them just how I feel about this

Just realized I treat cellphones like my dad treats his car, where being repairable, easy to work on, and with cheap parts are the primary concerns

@leshiaaimee Not quite really old, but "Soylent green is people!" never actually appears in the book

Reading the older book actually *kept* me from that moment in this case

@ptrc @sarna I'll take "Things that definitely should have gone in the original post" for $500

@N33R Poor fucker even said "pls do not try to dox me"

Then had his identity revealed by the US government

And somehow I'm completely unsurprised 4chan is better about respecting users' wishes

@grishka And honestly, this might just be the exact balance I consider reasonable for things like this

CLI tools that are *powerful*. Tucked away by default, but easy to use and enable if you want

The option to remove guardrails that, in absolute numbers, lots of people maybe *should* have, but with no other penalty or nags if you tell your device to do things your way

Guardrails are fine, IMO. The ability to turn them off, however, is a requirement that's not always respected

@grishka Re: threat model, most normal people will impatiently click through whatever makes the prompt shut up and let them do what they want with the app [0]

This isn't *great* on the most intimate devices we own

So on balance, this feels fine - a reasonable default for normal people, an option for people to opt-out, and a "Fuckin' stop that" command hidden behind a CLI tool non-geeks won't touch

[0] So I hear, though I'll have to find some non-computer geeks to ask

@grishka @chewbacca Which is exactly what I wanted the last few days too

Maybe this is nice for the average consumer, but if I have an app installed, with permissions granted, it's because I want it there. If I didn't, I'd have adb disable'd or uninstalled it on setup
