I straight up thought there was some shit on my phone screen

This works on some sites but not all in my experience. Nothing works on all 100% of the time. My method generally works on all sites I’ve found that use this script (which is an increasing number and definitely on all dotdash Meredith sites like this/seriouseats/thespruce/etc) but it doesn’t work 100% of the time. I don’t know why. But anything that can defeat it should be promoted and that’s definitely much easier, should be tried first

This is a new kind of Adblock detection that is being deployed on many blogs, some forums, and other websites and it’s the next generation. AdGuard or uBlock won’t save you because the way it works is outside the scope of those plugins.

There’s essentially JS that happens before the page render that checks for resolution with fingerprinting servers. If this does not occur you get the error message about html-load.com or content-loader.com or whatever that looks like malware intercepting the page.

If the page implements the JS poorly (eg the page renders before the checks come back) it’s easily defeated with ublock by just blocking element and selecting the overlay. Though the page usually isn’t fully rendered it’s enough to read the content. Reader mode can often work in this scenario too. But on more competent blogs with actual tech support (like seriouseats.com, fuck you kenji, like you don’t have enough money), it’s implemented more competently and the page won’t render at all prior to the checks coming back.

As a result a solution is to lie. It’s cumbersome but if you run adguard dns (or maybe pihole, if that can also do dns rewrites, not sure), you can rewrite the offending servers checked for fingerprinting you like:

api64.ipify.org
cdn.cookielaw.org
id5-sync.com
cdn.id5-sync.com
dotdash-meredith.solutions.cdn.optable.co
static.cloudflareinsights.com
html-load.com
content-loader.com

To a null route on your network for all subdomains. Somewhere run a docker and rewrite them to resolve to that docker, run nginx on that docker and basically just have it return 204 to all requests you funnel to it.

Now those sites run the JS, there is dns resolution, tls handshake, fetch and response, but no fingerprint or analytics. It’s not perfect, the error still occurs 1:5 tries, but closing tab and retrying almost always has the page render fine without issue.

Just keep in mind that some of these will break other sites (specifically cookielaw.org and lots of shitty shopping sites) especially if you do this lazily and just route to nothing instead of something that can return 204.

Fuck all advertisers, never turn Adblock off, steal all content, defeat any antiadblock measure, destroy the ad industry because they ruined the world

Oh right! In admin console under server>general at the bottom there is a section called “performance”. Under this the first entry is “parallel library scan tasks limit”. Increasing this can significantly improve performance here. If it’s empty it is auto selecting. To that point if you’re running jellyfin in a docker and only allow it access to one core that would seriously limit performance here. Screenshot below, I currently have it set to 2 because I’ve done the “big” scan and I don’t need my cpu hammered when jellyfin does library scans

Additionally an issue I ran into later: under playback>transcoding enable hardware transcoding must be checked. Trickplay task was taking literal months because even though I had configured igpu transcoding correctly this has to be enabled separately. UX stuff like this is where jellyfin needs more polish; I’m sure there’s debate about this but why would this not default to on once transcoding is enabled? Who knows. Maybe just oversight.

I got one eventually in a small city for doing the same. I didn’t bother fighting it because court would’ve taken all day and it was $20, which I assume is what they bank on, but I did want to go to court to have them clarify just what exact law did I break

I have a smart car and parked like that a few times years ago after seeing a picture like this and got a ticket eventually

$600 last month to run my heat pump. Can’t really disconnect it because it’s 30 degrees here rn. Awesome

Classic lib with internalized homophobia can’t wait to call people slurs because they’re on the wrong team

Were you also furious at minorities that voted for trump? Did you call them slurs

Interesting. I will say music is the weakest point of jellyfin db. Mine is currently good but I nuked my db for the new db style in 10.11 and created a new db, mainly bc of issues within music library. But this went back to like 10.9 and were probably from me fucking around in the db manually to try and override tags. I’ve since retagged my music as it was just the easier solution (artist ft artist got me all fucked up, I hated having 900 entries for like 1 artist who did frequent collabs)

This is the issue thread re the very long scanning after upgrading to 10.11

Edit: also one thing I learned from the db editing and again from the 10.11 migration is that the jellyfin db can get “stuck” in such a way that nothing I can find will overwrite db entries, even manually opening the db in an sql editor (which makes me think there are hard to find tables I could never track down but db stuff is not my forte so I dunno)

I found the link

“Library scans are expected to take (way) longer in 10.11 because we are now a) properly validating all existing data and b) properly applying concurrency limits. Usually only the first scan after the upgrade takes significantly longer because it will fix some data inconsistencies we can not repair while doing the initial migrations. Any subsequent scan should be faster but if you add a lot of new files it will still take longer than before because of the concurrency limit.”

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15070

From the thread for people with more realistic media libraries like yours (5-20tb) the initial scan is more like a few hours. However, if you’re like me and hoard shit expect it to potentially take days

Do you have music? I don’t know this for sure but I also wonder if music collections slow things down. My music collection is pretty massive (like 40% of my storage) and it’s a shitload of files to index.

Thankfully I don’t put my books in jellyfin because my ebook/manga library is also pretty massive. If the apocalypse occurs I’m set for the 2-3 days I’d have power after the end of times

I honestly found it much better to create a new db for 10.11 vs migrating. Both took about the same amount of time but the fresh db has no issues and the migrated db has some hiccups like you described (and some others). Main downside is you lose watch status

10.11 first library scan will take AGES because of the new db changes or something. My library is huge (~100tb of media) and it took days. Subsequent scans are much faster, like 10-12 minutes on 10th gen Xeon (roughly i5 equivalent) for a full library scan.

part of it is just music moving forward, part of it is music becoming less about musicianship due to decreasing music education. Part of what makes certain genres like jazz have a stronger appreciation is when you’ve spent at least some time studying music composition and theory so you can appreciate the technical mastery being displayed.

This doesn’t discount music that doesn’t play to those more technical aspects or imply that genres and artists within those spaces are bad or not as good, but it’s more a commentary on the declining quality of educational access in the west. The liberal arts are dead and your kid will be taught the bare minimum to make them a peon that can maximize earnings for a capitalist pig. Culture in decline

Wikipedia has major process issues that make it unreliable especially in the long term. Editors are given a ton of power to wield, the process of giving them power is not something the laymen is involved in, once they have power it’s fairly entrenched and hard to remove, and bias absolutely occurs. For the most part the bias is tempered but it is seen more heavily in articles like Gaza, Crimea/Ukraine, Venezuela, war on terror, Autism, transgender issues, war crimes of Japan, articles related to colonalism, articles related to big tech controversies, etc.

It’s something they desperately need to address because the right wing nutjobs are gunning for them and are very well funded. They 100% are going to try to put people into the editorial process or convert people who are already there to swing bias (if this hasn’t happened already). The right wing has managed to do this with the us government, they can and will do it to Wikipedia

They asked me to look over the policy with them, which I did.

When you enter a store you are tacitly consenting to see products, obviously. What purpose does a store hold otherwise? But the walls don’t need to be plastered with advertisements for you to figure out that cereal is available to purchase.

Similarly in the point of a service like the daycare: if I look this up I am consenting. A service having a webpage isn’t an inherent problem. But when they can encroach on other actions that is breaching consent. When they can appear in unrelated web searches, in related websearches but priority ranking that’s not necessarily warranted, on unrelated or tangentially related websites, on walls in unrelated or tangentially related stores, as videos before unrelated or tangentially videos, etc. now they are the digital equivalent of litter. When they are in a newspaper, the unsolicited junk mail that keeps usps alive, etc they’re actual litter.

A directory is not the same as advertisement. It’s utilitarian and does not destroy everything it touches. But your shitty ad brain can’t conceptualize how this could ever work. You probably work for some company that does advertising bullshit and need to justify keeping some form of modern the unethical modern advertising machine around

Sometimes I miss old forums where content was brought back up by simply posting within the topic (though that lead to the annoying and incessant “bump? bump? bump?” posts on threads people wouldn’t let die, i guess).

Post voting is understandable as an alternative but it just leads to so much vanity as a result. Sites like this and reddit have so many dorks that are like “my fake internet points… how could you”. If it matters that much to you just shitpost all the time and you’ll get those numbers up
