The man who owes Nintendo $14m: Gary Bowser and gaming’s most infamous piracy case
  • It's not illegal to modify a gun, it's illegal to modify a gun into a gun that meets certain criteria to then become illegal. The crime isn't modification of the gun, the crime is the possession of a (now) illegal gun.

  • No, in your case the crime isn't the fact that you modified the rifle, the crime is that you modified it into an illegal version of the rifle. The crime is possession of a full auto rifle.

    If I take a rifle that was setup for one caliber and modify it so it can shoot a different caliber, that's not illegal.

  • yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license... did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don't need a pilot "under current contract" you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.

  • I think what you want is either plex or Jellyfin which will give you a nice UI to browse your already downloaded files.

    Now how do you browse new releases and figure out what you want to download? I just setup https://overseerr.dev/ to go along with sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget, transmission... it's a lot of different services but they all work well together. Now to look for new movies, I or my family goes to Overseerr to request downloads, then plex to watch.

  • How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers?
  • I had a coworker come to me with an "issue" he learned about. It was wrong and it wasn't really an issue and the it came out that he got it from ChatGPT and didn't really know what he was talking about, nor could he cite an actual source.

    I've also played around with it and it's given me straight up wrong answers. I don't think it's really worth it.

    It's just predictive text, it's not really AI.

  • Cancelled Dropbox
  • If you are looking for FOSS, I highly recommend joplin. It's simple but works well. I used it for many years until recently I switched to Obsidian. I dislike that Obsidian isn't FOSS but I'm using the free tier and the community plugins really make it so much more powerful than Joplin. They both store things in Markdown so I'm not locked down to their ecosystem which I think is a requirement for any note taking app.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • I did, I couldn't seem to get it to work. Mobius just didn't seem to be able to connect to the obsidian app folder. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong but this would be ideal for me because I already had syncthing syncing to my NAS as well. Maybe I'll revisit it at some point.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • Nice, last night I self-hosted a couchdb server and setup https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync

    So far it's working well though I had forgot to set the encryption key on one device which caused it to try and sync the encrypted version so I had a bunch of conflicts to resolve. Once that was sorted though, it's been working well and I can sync stuff to my iPad now. We'll see long term how it works.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • I haven't, I'll have to check it out. I have an iPad but need to figure out a good way to sync notes without paying $10/month. (The iPad doesn't working with Syncthing or google drive :( )

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • I'd recommend just using whatever cloud backup tool you have access to (Dropbox, google drive, whatever Microsoft's thing is, iCloud) or setup something like Syncthing. I use Syncthing and sync it to my NAS which seems to be working well so far.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • I've been using Syncthing to sync my notes... it doesn't work on my iPad (because of the way the iPad file permissions work) but I'm able to sync between my phone and my personal computer and work computer. (I also have Syncthing running on my NAS so it's automatically backed up!!)

    Syncthing doesn't cost anything. You could also use dropbox or google drive or whatever so you don't have to pay. I agree, it's a pretty steep fee for what it is.

  • Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?
  • So I have a folder called people/ that contains a note per person that I work with. (I have a template that helps create what I'm about to describe for each person too so creating one of these people notes is as simple as typing their name). In there I have what you'd expect, name, email, position along with maybe some personal notes I want to remember about them but then I have a dataview table that lists all the meetings I've had with them since I started taking notes.

    To do this, it's a simple dataview table in the person note and then I also have a meetings/ folder where I add my meetings. In there, I just have an attendee's section where I put people's names (just using the [[name]] notation) and obsidian links them and the meeting will show up in the table.

    I can also add todo items right in this meeting template and using the tasks plugin, I can create a list of tasks that it pulls in from all my other notes. So I have a daily journal note and this has a list of all my uncompleted tasks. (Again, all this is templated so I just have to open today's journal entry to see these things)

    And to top it all off, it's all in just plain text markdown files so I'm not locked into some proprietary format.

  • Looking to try obsidian, but the sync seems expensive. Do you pay for sync, or are there other alternatives?
  • I currently use Syncthing and it works with the exception of syncing to my iPad (and I imagine iPhone but I have an Android)... need to figure out something else for that. I did see someone somewhere mention CouchDB combined with https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync so I might try that and see if it works.

    So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated...

    Then recently, I went down a youtube rabbit hole watching videos of how people use Obsidian... OMG 🤯

    Now I have 2x Vaults, one for work and one personal. Dataview, templater, quickadd, periodic notes have just changed everything. Now I have documents for each person at work with their basic info and then when I make a meeting, I can just tag them which then updates a dataview table that shows what meetings I've been in with them.

    Tasks allows me to just create a bunch of todos in random notes and then I can create a table to show all my undone tasks.

    I mean, why did I wait so long? I've been using it for about 10 days now and it's been such a game changer. Sorry Joplin.
