I dunno…
There’s a transcoding bug in the Android TV version of the Jellyfin client where transcoding a video with 7.1 audio breaks playback. Even with a Pull Request out there that fixes it (by matching the behavior of other Jellyfin clients), the issue got closed as “not planned”. The continued suggestion continues to be “just force everything to play in stereo”.
I don’t have unlimited bandwidth, so plenty of my stuff gets transcoded in Plex. I can’t, in good, conscience, switch my friends & family (most of who use Android TV) over to Jellyfin.

Rockstar knows how to get that double dip more than anyone else.
Mostly Docker.
Portainer and plugging Docker Compose XML into Portainer stacks makes Docker stupid-simple. (personally speaking as a stupid person that does this)
Cloudflare tunnels for stuff people other than you might want to access.
Tailscale if it’s only you.
Reverse proxy & port forwarding for sharing media over Jellyfin without violating the Cloudflare Tunnel ToS.

The UI is mind-bogglingly bad and slow.
The remote is also absolutely terrible and unintuitive. The keys that feel like they should be the arrow keys… aren’t. So even simple navigation through menus is painful.

Luckily I realized that I could Cloudflare-tunnel my Portainer UI out to a long random-nonsense subdomain name.
That allowed me to fix it (and then immediately kill the tunnel – not a fan of exposing Portainer to the internet).
Adding this device this also appeared to fix my https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn container that recently died. (And not simply giving it elevated privileges, as was previously recommended)

It appears that these issues all originate from an update to runc (which is used by containerd): https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/11078
EDIT: My suggestion probably doesn’t work for your use-case, but I’ll leave it for anyone else…
I use this to only tunnel the ports I actually need: https://github.com/DigitallyRefined/docker-wireguard-tunnel
My CGNAT’ed home PC is the client, and my public-facing Oracle Cloud instance is the server.
I’ve tried and failed miserably to use the “official” Wireguard container. Once I start reading suggestions to modify iptables outside of Docker, I know I’m in trouble.
So brave.
I’m just thinking something as simple as the app triggering an event that unlatches a compartment that corresponds to that specific time. “It’s 12:00. Open the compartment with all the 12:00 meds.” You’d probably have to include multi-day support, too (I fill dad’s meds a month at a time in this - https://a.co/d/cRw0e93 )
That same event could do things like trigger a visual or audio alarm, too.
My goal would be to make it as hands-off as possible for him. He already finds ways to “cheat” the daily dispensers he has now.
EDIT: Look up Pyxis or Omnicell Dispensers for examples of unlatching compartments. We use these pretty extensively in hospitals.
EDIT 2: Here’s a good example (starting around 2:00) showing how the individual compartments unlatch: https://youtu.be/bPJSbexZNC4?t=120
Pharmacist here, struggling to find a way to keep my dad on schedule with his Parkinson’s meds.
Adding an option for webhooks at scheduled dispense times would open up some cool opportunities for nerds like us to create automated dispensing units.
Good thing Sony doesn’t even have a launcher. But hey, we’re still all mad. Because internet.
PC gamers only care about account linking when it’s Sony.
If you don’t trust…
- The Associated Presss (citing US Intelligence),
- CNN (citing Microsoft), and
- NPR (citing “an Israeli watchdog group” – okay, I’ll give you this one),
…then who do you trust?
It almost sounds like you’re brushing off any media report as “a mouthpiece”, and only believing random anonymous posts on the Internet.
Isn’t it common knowledge that there is an Iranian state-sposored social media campaign doing the exact same thing for the other side?
Social Media is the best thing that has ever happened for Iran, Russia, & China in terms of expanding the reach of propaganda.
I’ve always used Transmission, since there’s a Docker container I use that bakes in your VPN-of-choice & a killswitch.

That said, it looks like it hasn’t been updated in over a year… I wonder if there’s anything else out there that does the same thing as this. (EDIT: Yes. Google brings up plenty of choices.)
