When I first used Jellyfin, the official Docker image didn’t have AMD video acceleration working out of the box and the LinuxServer one did.

LinuxServer images often solve problems and work out of the box better than the official option.

I think I’m right in saying they have a standardised and reliable option for running as a none-root user too.

I’d laugh but that sounds like 8 kids had their lives ruined by some idiots.

Talking to hotel staff. About networking. Yeah… uh… Good luck!

MTU 1280 fixes all MTU problems, at a cost to performance.

Amiga Stunt Car Racer remains the best racing game of all time for me. It even had linkup multiplayer (I think…)

How long has your number been on the no-call list? We have a similar thing in the UK but it takes ages to have an effect. Months to a year.

I deal with the issue by wasting as much of the scam callers time as I can. It seems to be the best way to get my number removed.

I usually say “I’m Mr Smith’s personal assistant, this sounds like something he should discuss with you. Please hold the line.” And then stick them on mute and forget about it.

With the right words and intonation you can get some of them to stay on the line for AGES.

Yeah right, you’re telling me they aren’t all Farage arse lickers, one and all? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.

Why aren’t they angry with the tories and Farage then? They’ve shaped our economy into a state that’s dependent on immigration while simultaneously destroying all our public services.

We have some lovely concentration camps in Rwanda, already paid for. I hear it’s totally safe over there. Maybe we could use them?

The Russian military has hundreds of helicopters and, so far, has lost just a hundred or so to Ukrainian action.

Odd use of “only”. Based on that sentence alone, they’ve lost between 10% and 90%, which sounds like a lot…

This is a soft-left wing newspaper that’s generally quite critical of the police. The numbers of convictions amd sackings are quite interesting. I think there’s a lot of room for improvement but we’re starting from a MUCH better place than the US or even Aus.

The 70% increase in convictions does not mean there’s an increase in Police bad actors. It’s an increase in pursuing convictions against them.

The only one of those I’m familiar with is Menenez and the officers genuinely believed he had explosives. It was a fucked up situation and I do think they probably should have suffered more consequences. But honestly there’s room for a little nuance.

British cops are not routinely armed so shooting generally is a LOT rarer.

I guarantee you that his career in the police is over. It’ll be interesting to find out more about the context, there’s clearly already been a lot of violence happening to the cops before the video starts. I’m certainly expecting criminal prosecution against him.

Yes. This is the UK. The officer is fucked. Exactly how fucked depends on the context which we don’t really have yet.

Just for context, this is in the UK so the officer WILL be prosecuted and punished accordingly.

It is worth noting that other officers at the scene had a broken nose and other injuries before this happened. It doesn’t excuse what he does but there’s certainly a lot more to the story here.
