0points··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
> Swedish here. The impression is common.

Swedish here, too.

Your impression is misguided. Maybe it's the norm in Stockholm, but 80% of the population live elsewhere. We do use cash and nobody thinks its suspicious to pay with cash, stop making stuff up.

0points··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
> people under 60 that uses cash are considered, if not criminal, at least suspicious, like they have something to hide

You are spewing complete nonsense.

Here's some perfectly normal stuff I use cash for in sweden on the regular:

- flea markets

- strawberry stand by the road

- unmanned vegetable shop has a cash bin and a pay-for-what-you-take sign

> It's usually not said out loud, but cash is often considered to be dirty and criminal

As a swede, your statement is outlandish and false.

We use cash all of the time.

> The answer is likely wordpress, because its default wp_hash algorithm is still MD5.

That's only true if you ignore all the details.

As usual, you cannot make a coherent understanding on just about any subject by reading headlines alone. Life would have taught you by now that the devil is in the details.

WP uses salt and multiple rounds of hashing, fully mitigating the md5 collisions being topic of discussion here.

So no, wp doesn't "use md5" in the sense that they would be vulnerable to this type of attack.

Still use mc in 2025 :-)

Nope, that didn't happen.

Nobody got arrested for discussing emulation.

0points··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
The EU article #8 of human rights [1] is deliberately loosely defined, both sounding nice at the first glance, while allowing for Chat Control style surveillance.

    Article 8 – Right to respect for private and family life

    1. Everyone has the right to respect for his
    private and family life, his home and his
    correspondence.

    2. There shall be no interference by a public
    authority with the exercise of this right except
    such as is in accordance with the law and is
    necessary in a democratic society in the interests
    of national security, public safety or the economic 
    well-being of the country, for the prevention of
    disorder or crime, for the protection of health or
    morals, or for the protection of the rights and
    freedoms of others.

0points··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
> What is so surprising to us who know history is that the Irish are supporting the colonizers. Jews are in their homeland. It's the Arabs who are colonizers.

You are being dishonest or severely brainwashed.

Ethnic groups doesn't have homelands, people born under a nation state [2] have homelands.

Israel was founded in 1948. You already know this.

One of the most elusive big companies today, imo.

0points··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
The sooner you stop seeing this as a "right vs left" debate and start seeing it as a human catastrophe, the sooner you will start to understand why some people take issue in what Israel is currently doing.

> there being no real story.

Ok, dude. I cannot educate you if you actively refuse to follow the news.

0points··on Ireland will not participate in Eurovision if Israel takes part
For those of us who dabble in history, it's not far fetched to see why the Irish people isn't sympathetic towards an occupying force.

It seems they no longer care if their actions make the general public sympathetic to this cause, which is rather troubling for a bystander.
0points··on Germany is not supporting ChatControl – blocking minority secured
It's always just a delay until the next round with these guys.

Chat control has already been voted down more than once in the past.

They will keep at it until they succeed [1]. The playbook was copied from the tobacco & oil industry and perfected by hollywood.

0points··on Show HN: Term.everything – Run any GUI app in the terminal
> Windows had Wayland support before most distros! Rather surprising.

WSL had non-accelerated wayland support at one point in time.

Was it before "most distros"?

I don't understand what you think that amounts to.

Wayland support in Linux-land typically means that the software supports running in your wayland compositor.

Windows famously is not a wayland compositor, no matter how much you try to bend reality.

Arm doesn't build operating systems. But you already knew that. So your post is merely troll bait.

All output from the LLM is by definition hallucinations, so this should meme the famous PS3 crypto:

You can also manually match each movie from the jellyfin frontend, but the issue with going this path is that if you need to rebuild your jellyfin instance for some reason, you would need to redo all of this manual matching.

So, the recommended path is to clean up the media files:

That's hilarious.

That modder who had to pay 2M sold drm circumvention kits for the Switch. That's a pretty clear case.

You pretending that saying "emulator" on a forum qualifies just makes you a extra special snowflake.

Then you must either:

a) be running an ancient plex version, before they rolled all of that crap out.

b) edited your home screen to remove all of those "plex offers".

0points··on Plex Security Incident
You need to sometimes suffix the folder/file name with {imdb-tt1234} to make it match the correct movie/show.

This is the same deal with Plex tho, although I found plex internal metadata engine to auto-match better than jellyfin currently does.

You can help here though. Just come to https://www.themoviedb.org/ and help us add metadata.

> First is subtitle support is quite limited in comparison.

I always watch with subtitles, but haven't noticed worse support in jellyfin vs plex, really. Granted, I mostly use srt/ssa (text based subtitles).

> Second is the lack of skipping.

You just need to install the intro skipper plugin :)

You brute forced a random argon2 hashed password using cheap compute in 17 hours?

Granted the suggested defaults for argon2 is like ~0.1 second per verification on a rather beefy CPU, in 17h that's about 620 000 guesses.

Your cheap compute would likely perform worse.

That is beyond improbable. You are making it up.

0points··on Plex Security Incident
sha* is a horrible choice for storing passwords. It's intended use is for verifying data integrity.

You should be using the solutions readily available instead of trying to reinventing the wheel, or avoid this subject altogether if you can't be bothered to educate yourself as to why.

This has been a decades-long issue, and it blows my mind how people in IT still didn't get the memo.

Use argon2, scrypt or even bcrypt who all are designed for keeping passwords secure with regards to brute force cracking.

> what do you like the most about jellyfin

- Not selling off my watching history to third parties. This is a privacy disaster still about to blow up. Expect holders of large plex libraries with pirated content to be lined up in court in the near future.

- Decentralized.

- Not parasiting on FOSS such as ffmpeg. Plex famously took everything from ffmpeg and gave nothing back, while making lots of money in the process.

Wouldn't be the first time a LLM confuses multiple people and mixing up details like this.

I also went the filtering route.

Thanks to atom/rss, it's a evening job at most.

I made a self-censor app that simply scrubs feeds from certain controversial content.
