I use services on high ports and only open 443 and 80 open just for renewal, and I'd rather not leave those open the whole time. I haven't been able to find a way to get NPM to interact with Let's Encrypt using other ports.

Comment on Can VLC or some other Windows program shuffle through a playlist without ever repeating a file, while also storing that state for future sessions? in ~tech
gco I believe (But am not 100% sure) that you should be able to get what you need with Kodi. It supports smart video playlist which can be shuffled and folders as well.

It will remember where in the video you were when you skip them. Just not sure about the playlist lasting between sessions but I would guess it does.

gco I'm very conflicted about this. It is good, but I much prefer Nils in Amaranthe, so seeing this song come out is making me nervous.I'm very conflicted about this. It is good, but I much prefer Nils in Amaranthe, so seeing this song come out is making me nervous.

Comment on Unique 0-click deanonymization attack targeting Signal, Discord and hundreds of platform in ~comp

While I think the author is trying to make it look worse than it is, there's likely cases as he mentions that a journalist for instance does not want it known that they're in a specific country/region.
It's also interesting to learn of the jump from a theoretical attack (As you mentioned we know about these things) to actually executing it.

It baffles me how the part I dislike most about these games is what actually makes it attractive to many people.

I think some things that contribute to feeling this way is that some of those games are actually longer, and they're more of something to do to keep entertained, kind of like putting on the TV and watching whatever is on. Whereas the shorter games were much more interesting and tailored experiences. Another way to look at it from my personal perspective is that I tend to tolerate alright games hoping they get good, and get really invested in good games so I tend to go through them relatively quick.

Up until recently Australia had a long standing right leaning government that kept pushing dated policies (Supporting fossil fuels and the like). While the current government leaves a lot to be desired, it's a step in the right direction.
The job market is not too bad if you're in IT, just be aware that you'll likely get a pay cut coming here, though the quality of life tends to be pretty good in exchange.

I don't understand - these services are aggregators of other people's content and let's be honest, only have to build a competent media player one time.
Why the subscription? While I fully understand that Adobe kicked off this new evil timeline of permanent rentals, I don't fully understand how this applies for something as simple as a media player.In the case of Podcast Addict the developer is always making sure the app works in new Android releases as well as build new features and add quality of life improvements. While you may be happy with just a very basic player, I personally feel the work the dev puts into the app is worth the price of the subscription (Though that's from someone that mainly uses their phone as a podcast player).

Maybe it was more of an immersion factor for me, not that I tend to create complex or interesting bases when playing these type of games.

Thanks for posting! Just yesterday I was going through task management services and everything required an account and would sync. I just wanted something either offline or that I can self-host and Vikunja looks good!
