> It'll be a very slow decay

Two ways. Gradually and then suddenly.

I’m still salty that their last app platform rewrite dropped Watch Together as a supported feature. Server still supports it, browser clients still support it, as well as the older Plex apps if you were prescient enough to turn off automatic app updates and manually keep refusing to update the Plex app.

This is a feature I use multiple times per week with friends who live states away. I can’t believe they just dropped it.

Jellyfin have that feature now working well. Presumably this is the one where if you pause to go to the bathroom it pauses for the other person too and doesn't go out of sync even if one connection has slow internet for example.

Yeah, that was one of features that made me try Plex a long time ago.

And that's why these days, I run Jellyfin on a VPS for watch parties (similar situation as yours), while sticking with Plex for family use.

Reportedly the xz supply chain compromise was first noticed by someone who reported his SSH connections took an extra 500 milliseconds.

That's a point well-taken, both non-obvious and relevant, but I'm still triggered by what I can only describe as dishonesty in the phrase quoted by GP. How can one "not understand" how other developers who clearly run (as most developers do) significantly faster hardware are not having the same issue? Unless one actively doesn't want to understand.

I pushed my first crate this weekend. You can `cargo install tailpipe` on macOS and Linux (and maybe Windows, haven’t tested there yet) and get a locally-hostable SSH server that plays back asciinema recordings to clients.

`ssh -p4242 tailpipe.clee.sh` for a quick demo without installing anything. Requires any valid RSA or ED25519 key.

Ah neat idea!

Thanks! I kind of stole the concept from the Takedown.com site that was set up to document how Kevin Mitnick was caught. Looks like the telnet servers are up again: telnet://kevin-on-demand.takedown.com:4001/ is an example of the original that made me think “it sure would be cool to be able to make custom recordings like that and play them back, but over SSH instead of telnet because who even has telnet installed anymore?”

Any word on availability for that 12-core ARM mainboard? Also for the record I’d really love a Snapdragon X2 (or later) option someday…

It's a third party mainboard right?

https://metacomputing.io/products/metacomputing-aipc?variant...

And anyway the performance of this CIX chip is really bad compared to the Snapdragon X2 or current x86 chips. Jeff Geerling has geekbench results here:

I didn’t realize they were selling it on another site, thanks for the link! (Framework has the RISC-V board on their shop, so I was expecting to see the MetaComputing one there too.)

And yeah… what I really want is some Oryon cores in a Framework 13 motherboard.

They do offer blank keycaps, no labels, as an option…

I’m not @nrp but I think I can safely answer this one:

> 1/ will there be a 15 inches version ? ( I’m not getting any younger I like bigger screens )

They make a Framework 16, so a Framework 16 Pro now suddenly seems like a possibility, but I don’t think they’re going to make a 15-inch when they have the 16.

Framework 16 is way too bulky. I would like a laptop with a similar form-factor to ThinkPad P1.

But Thinkpad P1 is 15.6"? That's very close to the Framework 16.

Thinkpad P1: W 361.8mm x D 245.7mm x H 18.4mm

Framework 16: W 356.58mm x D 270.00mm x H 17.95mm

The Framework 13 roughly matches 14" laptops from other manufacturers. It's really a 13.5", and has a taller aspect ratio than typical.

Hey Gajesh! I sent you an email with some of the teething problems I ran into trying to get started as a provider. Hope it didn't end up in your spam folder!

> Subtitle settings turn off between episodes

There is actually a way to fix this! Log in and navigate to: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/account

On this page, scroll down past the Security section to Audio & Subtitle Settings under Settings, and edit the account-wide language settings there.

One caveat; any movies or shows you’ve already watched with subtitles not enabled will still have subtitles not enabled.

So when will you port MacOS X to the Wii U? Two more CPU cores and 2GB of RAM instead of 88MB!

That would be a surprisingly cheap way to get a decent "vintage" Mac system considering the cheap resale on WiiUs.

Where are you finding cheap WiiUs? I've wanted to pick one up for a while and find them to be exorbitantly expensive, especially the controllers.

The gamepads often cost more than the console itself, because they're region locked and you can't use the console without one.

There is an attempt to clone the functionality of the gamepad ongoing that's somewhat usable: https://github.com/vanilla-wiiu/vanilla

I saw console-only Wii Us in Book Off in Japan for ~US$30.
