That’s great, I didn’t know it was per service. Definitely going to set up Jellyfin now. Thank you!

Cornyn spent his credibility backing Trump and this is what he has to show for it. This is why anyone backing Trump as a political calculus, from old-school GOP to MAGA drum-beaters, are tragically deluded.

Trump is an arch narcissist. He’s never ever going to be satisfied. Your only - only - reliable move is to fully surrender your entire agency to Trump. Any other “compromise” is temporary and Trump will keep moving the goalposts further no matter what you do, with no loyalty, replacing you with someone more sycophantic the moment he finds them. The only move is not to play.

But gosh, that’s too hard for all of these conservatives. They all think they’re smart enough to be the exception, that they’re just going to play along and get what they want, that it’s definitely going to be different for them this time.

The 25-page IRS memorandum was given to top Treasury officials last month but it’s unclear if it ever made it to the DOJ. The memo stated that Trump’s lawsuit was filed two years too late. Federal statute requires that people suing the IRS for unfairly released tax information must do so within two years of the infraction. Trump claimed not to have known about the tax information leak until January 2024, but the memo notes that Alina Habba—one of Trump’s personal lawyers–was present at the trial of IRS leaker Charles Littlejohn in October 2023. Trump did not file a complaint until January 2026, over two years later.

Just making to crystal clear for everyone: a statute of limitations defense, where there is incontrovertible evidence that there is no delay in discovery of the cause of action, is about as bulletproof of a legal defense as you can get.

So two things

1. This shows that Trump’s case was frivolous and meritless to any first-year law student, much less the “top lawyers” at the DOJ that assessed this. Trump and his lawyer should be sanctioned at the very least.
2. Because the DOJ is agreeing to settle this, Todd Blanche and any other lawyers who had to approve the settlement should now have criminal liability for conspiracy to defraud the US government. Because Trump is in control of the DOJ, if it can be shown he was involved in the settlement from the DOJ’s side (which seems almost certain), he should be part of the same criminal conspiracy.

Oh, that’s great. But just to be clear, when it’s toggled on, that means all traffic on that device is getting routed back through the host Tailscale client (not just Plex), right?

How many Watergates deep are we now?

It would be fine if Plex wasn’t hooked on VC capital and needed to make the line go up constantly. Most self-hosters like me have zero interest in what they are funding with subscriptions.

How does it work on TVs? You start Tailscale on the TV, and have to toggle it every time you use Jellyfin?

Hey, if you know another way for a rocket’s thermal shield to not only cost nothing but to pay you, I’d like to hear it!

Sounds like someone is thinking about the 2028 primaries.

If only we had some evidence of whether she actually would support this in the general election, instead of reverting to bland right-acceptable talking points!

I saw this suggestion, and it’s pretty smart - This may be what I try next, next time I have the energy for it.

The amount from other articles is $1.776 Billion, presumably because it’s a special number that makes the blatant theft of taxpayer funds go down easier to right-wing morons.

It never had any measurable relation to the supposed reason for it and it’s just roughly the amount Trump thought he could get away with stealing, after anchoring public awareness to the $10 billion demand.

Thank you, that’s a novel idea. Have you noticed any spikes, lag, or it’s just rock solid?

Thank you. Seeing a theme here with ethernet. I do wish there was a reliable wifi solution, but I guess that’s more than technology can deliver right now.

There are multiple layers of reinforcement - it’s tied up in their religion, personal identity, friend groups.

They have doubts but like any cult, when your life is essentially founded on zealous dogma, even if you have a large amount of cognitive dissonance over what you and the cult are doing, you can’t reject it because rejecting it means rejecting your family, your friends, and your own identity, and likely also making enemies of everyone who comprises your support group.

It’s part of why, as satisfying as it is, I can’t really be on board with just telling ex-MAGA “you did this to yourself” and to go eat a penis. All that does is isolate them and make them likelier to relapse into the cult, the only welcoming group available to them.

Imagine being so rich and entitled that you demand everyone else in the country spend $1 billion to build a facility that will (just partially) give you medical attention.

Now imagine being elected to represent the people who the rich guy wants to pay for that, and spending your term not representing those peoples’ interests but instead finding new ways to justify giving the already rich guy their money.

Now imagine being the voters living paycheck to paycheck and seeing both of these things, and being like, “Well, at least it isn’t Kamala.”

At this point my head hurts and I can’t imagine any more for some reason.

Can I ask for those of you who have been using Sunshine (and specifically Moonlight) without issue - is there some part of your setup that you upgraded or had to troubleshoot specifically to get it to work well?

I have tried it on 802.11ax and with my Steam Deck, same household & router & network, and playing anything that requires a modicum of reaction timing was frustrating and inconsistent. I mean, 10ms or so of lag is playable, and 20ms could be in a pinch, but I was feeling rubberbanding into 50+, lag spikes, etc.

Yes, and I know it’s obvious, but the reason for the difference is that China’s leader is not a demented psychopath who decides he wants whatever the last person he spoke with told him to want. So they kind of have the upper-hand in the negotiation.

The articles are doing a disservice by treating DOJ and Trump’s actions to “settle” the “case” (quotations since neither is legitimate) as if it was already done. No, Trump is still trying to do it. It’s a common tactic of Trump’s team to act lawlessly and make people feel powerless and resigned that it’s already done. This particular criminal looting is not beyond intervention yet.

It least it seems, this needs to be approved by a judge who has not yet ruled on the requests to dismiss the case (and thereby allow the settlement to proceed):

Nearly 100 Democrats in the House of Representatives signed onto a legal brief urging a judge to block what they described as an unprecedented resolution that they said would unjustly enrich people close to the president with taxpayer dollars and open the door to meritless claims of political persecution. … Trump’s attorneys suggested in their court filing seeking to dismiss the case that the resolution would not be reviewable by a judge. But a group of 93 members of Congress filed a brief teeing up a challenge. … Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, an advocacy group that filed an earlier brief, said in response to the dismissal: “This case was always a sham, and another ploy by the President to access taxpayer funds to line his pockets.”

The headlines basically are saying, this is a deal, it’s done. The last quote above suggests there is a “dismissal” but elsewhere clearly implies the dismissal request is pending. A reader may feel like this already happened and therefore there’s nothing they can do about it. And indeed, it may happen. But the judge already said she is looking at the conflict of interest issue:

Kathleen Williams, the judge heading the case, had assigned a group of attorneys to determine whether there was a conflict in the case since, as sitting president, he was suing “entities whose decisions are subject to his direction.”

P retty good feeling about canceling Netflix.

I can’t remember the last time I saw something worthwhile.

R eally, it’s just cookie-cutter junk that they are clearly making to check a box.

A nd for what purpose?

T o just keep us watching show after show rather than do something productive.

E ven when I find a show with a premise I like, it’s so padded with filler I don’t even know why I watch it.

I just think they’ve forgotten the purpose they served, which is provide a service more convenient than downloading.

T hat’s what I think anyway.

Yeah, I don’t know if it’s just the same Democrat consultants every presidential election, but the last three elections they’ve always, always reverted to, “The election is three months away but you’ve already won, so for the love of god don’t do anything inspiring to our base because that might upset Republicans and make them attack us more. In fact, just put all your energy into getting Republican votes.”
