Extras are something I miss from modern movie distribution.

After finishing a movie you could watch the deleted scenes and behind the scenes and such. I rarely did the commentary watch of the movie but it was cool that it was there.

I’ll second moshidon. It gets bonus points for letting you see your followed hashtags. Or something like that. There’s something with hashtags that you can’t do in the web browser that you can do with apps. Moshidon does that thing.

“Know what you’re doing”

And

“Forwarded a port to jellyfin”

Surely has some overlap. You want to open other ports, you want to make sure permissions are properly set on the host machine… What else? HTTPS/SSL to avoid someone in the middle grabbing your password and accessing your media?

Regardless, I’ll look into tailscale. A VPN would have lots of other uses, as there are other applications I would like to use remotely that I don’t want to expose to the internet.

Why not? What precautions would you need to take before doing so?

I always wondered why it had double letters. Thank you!

I really like my electric leaf blower. It’s a lot of fun to just turn it on and watch all the leaves and dirt fly off the sidewalk so effortlessly. You just squeeze the trigger and it blows, you don’t need to pull a string or prime it or anything.

I enjoy it so much that the path to the front door is always clear, despite being under a tree that constantly drops leaves.

But leaf blowers don’t kill, and I don’t have vinyl stickers on my car bragging about my leaf blower. Or shirts stating it’s my legal right to own a leaf blower. It’s just a tool that I enjoy using.

Really toxic.

You’re right. Most of the issues with guns aren’t with someone who keeps one to protect themselves from a wild animal, it’s those who keep them to… those who have semi automatics and live in suburbia and fetishish the idea of someone?? breaking into their home so they can use their big, fancy, killing weapon??

Like… They have a perceived threat that’s never going to happen and yet they keep this murder tool under the guise of protection when it’s really just something they think is cool, but is also something that is more likely going to be fatal to themselves and their family than to an intruder.

100% this.

I was with you up until the “I would still get one for safely” part. We must clearly live in different kinds of areas, I’ve never felt the need to own one for any reason.

I’ve decided go big or go home.

I saw an OLED in person at my local big-box retailer, the LG 39GS95QE. A 39in ultrawide. The pixel density is pretty close to that of my existing LED monitors. I never was a fan of the curve until I saw it on an ultrawide; it only seems to make sense to me on an ultrawide.

They have it in 45in but that would be too big for my space, too big for my arm mount, and would reduce the PPI to something around 85? All those drawbacks don’t seem to be worth it for me as I do use my monitor for productivity more than gaming.

So that’s where I’m leaning now.

Beach? Alligators don’t like saltwater. They like lakes and rivers and such. Maybe he was swimming in a lake. Lakes wouldn’t have lifeguards.

Also, anyone in Florida knows you don’t swim in lakes. You treat all bodies of water as if they have a gator in them.

Granted, we’re talking about an idiot that would swim with alligators. So that part might be true, but a lot of this story is suspect to me.

IT’S AN LCD.

NOWHERE in the product description did it say it was an LCD. If you go to their product website and search “LCD” you get nothing. (If you search LED you also get nothing). They intentionally hid that information: https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/gaming/32-odyssey-g50d-qhd-fast-ips-180hz-1ms-displayhdr-400-gaming-monitor-ls32dg502enxza/

Even on amazon if you search “LED” you get a question and answer: *Q: How is this compared to led ? between love the ad very impressive from samsung A: Hello and thansk for the question Yes this monitor uses LED’s If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or via live chat on our website (www.samsung.com/ca/support).

The reason that it looks weird next to my LED monitors is because it’s an LCD.

And I’m just out of the return window. I’m so upset.

EDIT: Return window was extended because it was bought in December and the holidays are a thing. It’s GOING BACK!

I use Feeder on android, which just lives on my phone instead of on my server.

Would you say there are distinct advantages to self hosting an RSS reader? Most of the time when im browsing sites and reading it’s on my phone, not my desktop.

So I have a 3-monitor setup, all 1440p with the 32" in the center and 27" on the sides. I’ve tried scaling for the 32" monitor, but windows “pop” to scale when moving them from screen to screen. It’s really great that I can configure each display to scale independently, but the pop is… peculiar.

If my center were a 4K screen then maybe scaling would help? According the the PPI calculator my 27" screens are 108.79 PPI and a 34" 4K would be 137.68 PPI. Roughly 110 and 140, pretty distant from being doubles of each other.

That being said, I did find some scaling options that made my 27" screens much more comfortable on my eyes, so if I increase the scale a little more a 4K might work out.

Since posting I’ve grown more comfortable with the larger screen, still not fully decided on it though. I wish there were more stores where you could just WALK IN and LOOK at monitors. The big-box stores around me all have laptops, chromebooks… groceries…

100% this

All three are wall-mounted, and the new screen will be the center. But even if they all were self-standing monitors it would be pretty impractical to change my monitor configuration after ending work for the day.

Are OLEDs better now in terms of longevity? I don’t want to pay 3 or 4x the amount for a screen that’ll die in 5 years because I use it everyday.

I also hear a lot about burn-in and software to jitter pixels and whatnot.

Reading the comments here, seems like Samsung was a bad choice.

Exactly. I can scale individual programs but not everything scales nicely. I can scale the UI in system settings, but things will look funny unless it’s in even increments.

1440p makes everything small on a 27in. If I did a 4k on a 32in everything would be even smaller.
