Scanners have gotten better recently, meaning they can tell the difference between water and explosives, but these restrictions weren’t pulled out of thin air like many others.

There was a thwarted terrorist plot to use drink bottles to hold explosives.

Some Brits, especially young ones, are t-flapping as well now

Other comments seem not to mention the Real Debrid bit, so I’ll focus on that here:

Personally, I use my preferred debrid service to reduce the amount of stuff I need to store. You can mount the files you’ve got saved in your debrid using rclone with the webDAV creds that Real Debrid gives you.

You should probably use rogerfar’s rdt-client, even if you only use real Debrid to download torrents without using your own ip. It implements the qBittorrent API so you can point *arts at it as a download client. It’s got a couple of modes, so you can either have the files downloaded or symlinked from the mount discussed above.

Zerg from DebridMediaManager is something I’ve heard good things about, but i haven’t been able to try it as its source-available for a fee, which i disagree with.

And incidentally, this is likely coming to Jellyfin 10.9 through endrl’s mediasegments PR

My local MP came around yesterday to brag that he and the local Tory councillor have made plans to fix a pothole nearby.

The bar is so low it’s below the floor.

I don’t think people hate discord as a host for some communities, but there definitely is a growing rejection of it among FOSS contributors.

It sucks as a place to store knowledge. The search sucks, it’s not indexable by search engines, and requires an account to use. As another commenter on this post said, it combines the worst parts of IRC and webforums.

There are better ways to organise a FOSS project, and people are unhappy that some projects still choose discord.

One way is to use rclone to mount your Real Debrid link onto your server and run plex/Jellyfin using the remote media. That way all your clients talk to the server, so you’ve only got one connection to RD

RDT-client implements the qBittirrent api so you can point radar/sonar at it, and it will make symlinks from your mount to a structured media directory

Plex_debrid is a python script which is a standalone method to get media onto RD. It can take requests from your plex watchlist or ombi/overseerr and will search trackers to grab the release. As plex is less fussy about the file structure of your media, you can just point plex straight at your mount.
