  • Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate

    +1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.

    I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears

    Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that

    Sometimes those little round keys for special cylinder locks and po boxes were the hardest to figure out.

    Yup! I keep my Ilco bible with me for just that reason. Also, three keys at once? Damn son.

    I never had brass splinters in my feet, but I’ve had plenty in my hands

    Looks like one of those assa a-xx high security commercial keys

    I thought the same

    It would be easier to steal keys off of someone’s desk or just pick the lock over stalking someone online, verifying you know their location irl, decoding a key from a picture, and then using that key at their work(?). Possible, but highly improbable. Like, if a YT streamer showed their house key and their address was public enough, yeah, that’s a risk. Some rando on Lemmy? Not so much

    Sorry sorry, professional interest here. I have to correct you, because I noticed you’re wrong in my field of expertise

    Broken key looks like an Assa or possibly a Medico, but I’m not familiar enough with the milling to say for sure. The blade is stamped so thin that I’d have to say it’s probably Assa. The small desk lock key is, I’m 95% sure, a y13 Yale key.

    Y11 is a more common small keyway, similar Master’s m1 padlock key, but the milling at the bow of the pictured key isn’t y11. Y1 is the classic Yale house key, comparable in size to Schlage’s SC1. These are, of course, all Ilco key numbers with original manufacturer brand names.
