Army of Darkness memes now?

I’d go for Jellyfin over Plex myself.

just a couple of years… yeah…

It won’t help with the poor lighting, onboard mic and insanely low bitrates though.

I generally do this on my NAS, combined with nightly and bi-weekly backups, plus a 6-mo safety backup, to a backup drive. Also, basic off-site nightly backups for important stuff. If I worked on really important stuff that required lots of versioning, though, I’d probably go with a versioning system instead of inserting the date.

There’s a dozen apps for it, but I wouldn’t trust them to do a perfect job. At a bare minimum, you’d probably need to keep said app up to date at all times, and it’d need to be one that runs in the background or runs on every boot or something.

I don’t go to theaters enough to see entire audiences laughing, but I laughed…

I laughed uncontrollably at the climax/ending of Dark City at a friend’s birthday party. It was his favorite movie at the time. He wasn’t amused. I think the fact that he took the movie SO seriously, and that it ended in such an embarrassing schlocky way, was just too much for my poor system.

Also laughed my way through most of the first Fast and the Furious movie, in the theater. At the time, it seemed like an amazing absurdist comedy, but these days it’d be very tamely dumb. Lots of people probably think of it as some sort of classic or some shit now.

Finally, nobody in the theater laughed once at Down Periscope. IMDB has it at 6.2, but… nobody laughed. We walked out after giving up 30min in. edit: it was a different spoof movie from almost the same time that I’m thinking of, McHales Navy. Sorry for slandering you, Down Periscope, I’m sure you’re amazing.

It’s bad, but is it as bad as in movies/tv where people look into a microscope and see little viruses multiplying, or even worse, DNA double-helices floating around? Maybe it is…

I stopped watching after The Force Awakens, and this makes me even more sure of my decision.

You mean Gabriel Knight?

There are plenty of those, depending on the location. Is it one of the Elodea species maybe?

I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?

Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.

I don’t want to give anything away for people, so I’ll just say that I never really appreciated the climax/ending part. It was pretty good up until that. I actually couldn’t help but start laughing the first time I saw it, which I doubt was the intended reaction. Basically the movie turns into schlock.

Oh… I thought this was satirical about gender or something. Not literally saying that those are the two best screws, because NOBODY IN THE WORLD THINKS THAT.

Never connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don’t do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.

That’s the plot of the old 90s pc game Alien Legacy.

I live near multiple major Boeing facilities and so a large percentage of the local population works there. Boeing, due to their hiring practices and sort of employee abuse and such, basically create (or attract) a creepy cult of weird psychotic narcissists, especially the white-collar workers. Not everyone that works there is like that, but the ones that work there for 20+ years almost always are. I have numerous relatives and know lots of other people who work there and they are all creepy, balding, extremely self-important and abusive people. Now other people may pipe in and say that they have a very different experience, but that’s been mine. Oh, and they all want everyone they come across to know that they work at Boeing. It’s a core part of their identity. They are desperate to impress everyone.

My most recent experience with long-term Boeing employees was my psychopath uncle-in-law seemingly tried to murder his wife when she decided to divorce him after 20 years of abuse, mostly because it would have looked bad at work and made it harder for him to make “executive”.

Honestly I relish in the lowering status of Boeing and its employees. It’s been a long time coming. They make some shitty jets these days, they have shitty business practices, there’s something clearly wrong with their corporate culture, and their cult of creeps have been a pain in everyone else’s asses for many years.

I guess that’s all a long way of saying that Boeing probably doesn’t even have to hire anyone to kill whistleblowers. I would not be shocked if a “good employee” took it upon themselves to do it.

Unless they kill the people that build them, there will be plenty of people who know about these places. If we get the point of actually needing bunkers those people (who know the ins and outs of the bunkers) will want in. Nobody will protect the rich who had them built, because their money and influence will become worthless and nobody actually likes them. At best, they will live a miserable, lonely existence until they die. At worst, they will be torn apart by the masses.

If the world ends, I want to die with everyone else.

Yeah I played S&M and Full Throttle probably once every couple months when I was a kid… how else can you recite every scene from the entire game?
