Condoms prevents the spread of HIV.

You're quoting Wall Street (1987), but it's not clear whether you're in support of the sentiment or not. Plenty of people around here weren't born when that film came out.

People with the "wrong" political opinion have been surveilled for decades. It just took more work.

Which is protective in itself. Expensive surveillance will have to be more limited. Maybe of leaders of organisations rather than every supporter.

You had me until you started giving Tesla the thumbs-up, despite your caveat.

If that was one of those ELM327 dongles, yes they have 12V and are known to drain your battery. They're only meant for short diagnostic runs.

Wasn't the Hubble telescope a spare from the surveillance satellite program that they basically just turned towards space?

Not quite. It was developed using some shared technology from the KH-11. Very different optics and sensors, for sure, looking out into space is a lot different from looking at something a couple hundred miles away.

Definitely not clean room, quite the opposite.

Jellyfin 12 should be able to use a Plex media library using Plex naming conventions, no renaming required.

This will reduce the switching workload, and you can run both services at the same time whilst trying out Jellyfin.

Huh. I was able to run Plex alongside Jellyfin on my library no issues.

Just depends on what naming conventions you use.

For foolproof matching, adding Plex metadata in the style of "{tmdb-12345}" to the directory name would cause problems for Jellyfin, as they used to demand different formatting, for instance square brackets.

It has taken a years to convince the maintainers that this change is a good idea and not "letting Plex determine the future course of Jellyfin."

I always had this issue when working with Flash developers. A common mantra was "don't reimplement scrollbars unless you can implement all the features a scrollbar comes with." They always had to do more than five iterations and spent days on that scrollbar.
