  • but tried giving a neutral review.

    The issue isn’t giving it a neutral review. All reviews, if they aren’t shills, give neutral reviews.

    The issue is that James May bought that car with his own money. He said it’s his daily driver which is an endorsement even though he has nitpicks.

    So he literally handed money to Elon Musk and then had the audacity to say he wasn’t supporting Musk.

    Clarkson hasn’t been a climate change denier since 2019. But he still says individual change is useless.


  • I’m dismayed by car reviewers that cover the Tesla and make a passing comment on how they don’t support Musk.

    Like James May did a Tesla review saying, “I didn’t buy it to support Elon Musk.”

    That’s like being a T shirt reviewer, buying a T shirt from a Hitler Youth website, and then saying, “I don’t support Nazis. I bought this T shirt to support the garment workers and graphic artists who created the T shirt.”










  • Jellyfin but you not being able to follow a dead simple guide.

    The fact that others had the same problem without solution means it isn’t follow a dead simple guide. There are multiple guides. Just setting up docker means you have to already know to not use it and run podman. Because if you follow the online guides on docker’s own website, you end up with a docker gui and their AI assistant installed.

    And to think you were running a whole ass ISP…

    You are arguing that setting up an Internet server is as simple as it was 30 years ago. You are arguing for the sake of arguing.


  • Not at Cisco. With a Cisco. I ran a mid sized ISP in the 90’s until I was bought out by a cable company and retired. Although several of my employees went on to work at Cisco. I also had a few friends who were executives at Cisco because we all started at a company working for Vint Cerf and Bob Khan (they were the angel investors) back before most knew of the Internet.

    First it’s a VM because I’m not going mess around with stuff on bare metal. Create docker is a can of worms because you have to pick a reverse proxy software like nginx, traefik, caddy. Which means you need to understand all three to know which to pick. Then there’s setting up the certificate with the dns provider. So I got nginx working with a certificate but gave up after the VM running Jellyfin couldn’t see it. Googling showed someone on Reddit with the same problem but no answer other than others saying “works for me”






  • Often a sign of a growing clog. The door doesn’t unlock until the water sensor says there is no water. If the last bit of water is draining slowly, it can delay unlock.

    Three places to check a front loader:

    1. The rubber gasket for the door has small holes in the folds that get clogged.

    2. The lint/large item trap is getting full. Most washers have a little door you can open and pull that out for cleaning.

    3. Worst is there’s a ball in the drain hose at the bottom of the tub where the tub connects to the drain pump. It works as a check valve. It can get clogged. You need to get access to the motor area of the washer. Often massaging that ball in the hose is enough to let it drain. I’m fully aware of what this sounds like.
