By the upvotes it is clear that our readers agree with you, but I’m more than happy to go on record saying your philosophy is empirically invalidated by the fact that you are posting this.

I saw this reply coming… to say that we should protect kids — without explicitly calling out trans kids — does not water down their plight in any way. Please guys, let’s leave that kind of decisiveness to Reddit and focus on where we agree and not where we disagree.

How ‘bout we protect all kids?

I like iOS shortcuts. This week, I created an iOS shortcut to scan my Plex library. Now this may seem weird since there is an option to scan a library from the official Plex iOS app and there are also options to scan the library automatically or periodically. For various reasons (excuses), I didn’t like that the official app only lets you scan one library at a time and I have automatic/periodic scans turned off to avoid network drive access, so I created the shortcut to scan from my phone any time I felt like I wanted to trigger it.

1. Create a new iOS shortcut
2. Add the “Get contents of URL” action
3. Get your X-Plex-Token (see instructions on official website)
4. Set the URL in your action to: https://{ip_address}:{port}/library/sections/all/refresh?X-Plex-Token={plex_token}

You’re trying to make some kind of societal statement based on your upload speed?

1. I think this is the wrong sub for this content.
2. This video was terribly hard to get through but the thesis could be summarized as “tech folks want a country that enables them to do tech things and make more money”… ya, duh.
3. Clickbait

Was literally updating my filtered words just now. I use Voyager app on iOS and it can be done in the settings.

I tend to agree. Don’t blow this out of proportion. If you dig deep enough, you will not like the CEO of ANY company… so don’t let some comments from the CEO of Proton get you worked up.

I’ll be honest, this kinda feel like the wrong move. If correct information is the antiseptic to misinformation, wouldn’t X be the exact place you should be posting your journalism to?

Thanks for your … er… um… reply? I guess? For what seems like a response to a different question than the one asked?

Nice try… North Korea. j/k. IDK man, because I watched “The Undeclared War”. Give it a look.

Several other comments called me out for the same thing and you are right, I didn’t mean to imply that there are not domestic bad actors also.

It was not my intention to suggest there are not “domestic bad actors”. I live in America, and yes, that is a blanket term that we use to generalize countries that are antagonistic to “American values”. We have plenty of domestic bad actors. I was painting with too broad of a brush and that was my bad.

State-sponsored

In another comment I was accused of being a brainwashed American, so take this for what it is, but some posts — mostly of a political nature — just seem to defy any mainstream thinking across the spectrum. Looking at some user profiles when I come across these, it seems their post history is entire based around fueling arguments, with no agenda, other than breed discontent.

Your point is fair and I didn’t mean to imply that bad actors are purely foreign. There are plenty of domestic bad actors. Please excuse the “propaganda framing”.

This was my subjective opinion based on the kinds of discussions and posts I see.

I think what you’re looking for is what is sometimes called a “dns load balancer”. Offerings like Azure Traffic Manager or AWS Route 53 do this. You can set up health checks that the service will use to determine if one of your locations is down and then automatically update the DNS record to point to the other one. You can also get clever and do things that allow the DNS to resolve the IP of whichever of your servers is physically closer so you get the best performance. I’m not sure what options there are for selfhosting a DNS service like this, however, these services are extremely affordable – pennies – and run on very reliable infrastructure, which is what you want.

I don’t expect companies to be doing that much anymore.

Wait, what?!? I’m genuinely perplexed if you think that NASA funding comes only from Dems…

Because it’s not the money, it’s the autism.
