I was scrolling through mangadex and I feel like we can get some mileage on this non-sequitor.

I have jellyfin, qbittorrent, radarr, sonarr, prowlarr. I end up with copies of things I download in two places, media folder, and then in a radarr or sonarr subfolder. Radarr and sonarr are configured to have their own dirs. Jellyfin has media libraries for movies and shows pointing to those same subdirs. But qbittorrent has a default save dir of the media dir.

If I delete something in jellyfin, it gets deleted only from the subfolder, not the media folder.

I thought that radarr and sonarr would tell qbittorrent where to download to... and it would be their subdirs. So what is making the copy in media? And is there some reason I should have these extra copies?

I find it pretty annoying that the people who should be advocating for Libre software and culture are using proprietary license for their works.

Does anything that is truely free exists?

Firefox is a great alternative to Google Chrome

The game runs surprisingly well. You can download the DRM-free version of the game from BioMedia Project. The files are hosted with the permission of the LEGO Group. The only fix I did was enabling widescreen support with modern screen resolutions. The instructions for that are here.

Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew suffered a season-ending broken collarbone Sunday against the Broncos, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, confirming an NFL Network report.

Summary

The US is creating contingency plans for potential military deployments in Japan and the Philippines in case of a Taiwan crisis, according to Kyodo news.

A joint US-Japan operation plan, set for completion in December, includes deploying US Marines with HIMARS along Japan’s Nansei Islands near Taiwan, supported logistically by Japan’s military.

The US Army may also station long-range fire units in the Philippines.

This comes amid heightened tensions as China boosts military pressure on Taiwan, while the US strengthens regional alliances.

Don't know if this is really the right place for this, but I can't imagine trying to do this on windows! Not saying it couldn't be done, but I wouldn't know where to start

I got a new laptop with a backlit RGB keyboard, but no capslock, numlock indicators. I figured I could solve that by just setting the backlight of the key if capslock is enabled. I got that working, but that's boring.

While I was doing that I realised that I was baaaasically working with a 20x6 LED display sooooo...

Behold! Playing snake on my laptop!

Having said that, it could be adapted to other keyboards fairly easily:

Lithuanian officials, who in the past weeks have been probing alleged acts of sending incendiary devices on Western-bound cargo planes, stopped short of linking the crash with that investigation. "So far, there are no signs or evidence suggesting this was sabotage or a terrorist act," Lithuanian Defence Minister Laurynas Kasciunas told reporters, adding the probe to establish the cause could take "about a week".

According to the Lithuanian police, the plane, flying from the eastern German city of Leipzig, skidded several hundred metres, hitting the residential house which was set on fire, smaller buildings, and a car. The firefighters confirmed one person from the plane's four-member crew died in the crash that happened as the plane was due to land in Vilnius. Police later said the deceased person was Spanish, and that the remaining three crew members were Spanish, German and Lithuanian nationals.

German logistics company DHL said the cargo aircraft was operated by its partner SwiftAir and had made an "emergency landing" in Lithuania. "We can confirm that today, at approximately 4:30 am CET, a Swiftair aircraft, operated by a service partner on behalf of DHL, performed an emergency landing about one kilometre from VNO Airport (Vilnius, Lithuania) while en route from LEJ Airport (Leipzig, Germany) to VNO Airport," it said in a statement.

UK anti-terrorism police last month said they were investigating how a parcel burst into flames at a depot earlier this year, after a similar case in Germany blamed on Russia. The Lithuanian president's chief security advisor blamed Moscow for the incidents. "We know who the source of these operations is. It is Russian military intelligence," Kestutis Budrys told Ziniu radio earlier this month. "We cannot let this go unanswered as it will only escalate into the new kinds of actions," Budrys added.

Poland and Lithuania, both NATO members bordering Russia, are staunch allies of Ukraine, frequently warning about Russian-inspired sabotage on EU soil.

Summary

Donald Trump’s transition team has been barred from accessing federal agencies due to delays in signing standard ethics and transparency agreements, leaving Cabinet nominees without access to classified or non-public data.

This standoff hampers preparation for national security, workforce, and budget issues as the administration readies for the January 20 inauguration.

Concerns include safeguarding against threats like conflicts abroad and domestic crises, such as avian flu.

The delays also risk derailing nominee confirmations, with scrutiny over FBI background checks and controversies involving key picks like Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.
