I think you need to look at the points above, where it lists the cases where VPN is recommended:

When VPNs are Needed Highly Restrictive Countries: China or Australia where internet access is heavily restricted ISP Throttling: If your ISP specifically throttles or blocks BitTorrent traffic Legal Requirements: If local laws require VPN use for P2P/BitTorrent activities

Not sure where you’re located, but in most of the USA, not using a VPN runs you the risk of at least getting a nastygram from your ISP. How much that means to you depends on how worried you are about getting your service disconnected or sued by the owner of whatever you’re seeding. For me personally, a VPN is a no-brainer.

ETA: I may have missed the subtler point of your post. I personally do not have my *arr apps behind a VPN, only my torrenting app. I think that is what the wiki is specifically addressing.

Yeah, its their online-only bank.

I have no idea why some banks can offer those CD-like rates while others offer virtually zero. Capital One 360 Savings and Ally have similar rates as well.

One that earns you more than the default 0.15% or so that you earn on most savings accounts.

You have to do a bit of hunting, but for example, I have an account with Citizens Access that earns 3.50% last time I checked. It’s not much, but it’s better than earning nothing on the emergency fund that I want to keep liquid and accessible.

I definitely parsed the headline wrong at first! But c’mon, even if you’ve never heard of the band, the second sentence of the article links to their webpage…

Easy peasy. Instead of making payments to your credit card, transfer the amount to a high yield savings account instead. Then use that savings account to pay your CC once per month. (Savings accounts typically have a limit on debits, but you can usually make as many deposits as you want.)

Enjoy the cashback AND a few bucks in interest AND having your checking account accurately reflect your “real” money at all times.

This is one of the great things about the *arrs. They will create a hardlink to the file in your media folder structure so that you can keep seeding and have a well organized/named media library without wasting storage.

Prior to that, I also just saved my torrents directly to my media library, and used the torrent manager to rename the local file properly. Same thing effectively, just a lil more work.

No, I wasn’t doing any pre-processing other than “properly” formatting the track name and folder structure. So I can’t really blame Jellyfin, because I know that tagging is part of the best process workflow. But I’ve just found Navidrome seems to be a little more hands off.

That’s why I specifically called out the phrase “free speech absolutist”.

In my experience the vast majority of people who truly do advocate for freedom of speech are willing/able to understand nuances such as the fact that your freedom of speech does not grant you immunity from the social consequences of unpopular speech. I.e., other people exercising their freedom to disagree or opt not to use their private platform to host your speech. The “absolutists” will unironically call that censorship, rather than recognize other people are not compelled to engage with their speech.

Without exception, “free speech absolutists” just want to say a specific brand of horrid shit themselves without social blowback. It never applies to free speech as a legal concept, and certainly never applies to speech they disagree with.

I’m not the person you were replying to, but the only issue I ever had using Jellyfin for music was that it seemed.a little finicky about matching artist/album when pulling down metadata, and I had to do more manual intervention.

The actual streaming functionality seemed perfectly fine, but I personally settled on Navidrome for music.

There are kind of two different questions here.

First of all yes, humans are pretty good at telling whether someone is looking them directly in the eyes or not. So if you were to ask someone directly whether you are looking in their eyes or some other part of the face, they would probably be right most of the time.

The second part is whether they would notice it consciously without bring asked. That’s a little trickier. I suspect if you were staring directly at some other part of their face, people might get self conscious (do I have a zit? Is my nose that huge?) But looking at a spot between their eyes, or shiftng your gaze periodically would probably fly under the radar.

I love Biscoff cookies, but had never had them outside of a snack on a plane either. First time I realized they sold them at stores was when my local Costco started carrying them in giant boxes, which is a little like being Sir Gallahad the Chaste, and stumbling into the castle Anthrax.

Aldi has a pretty goof knockoff version in normal size packages if you have problems with moderation 😉

But to answer your question, a long time ago, my wife and I did the “Love you”, “Love you too”, “Love you… three?” thing, and apparently got up to 5 before we decided it was silly. Many years later, “Love you five” is the normal response to “Love you”.
