Ah, if you need to build a .NET project that makes sense

Nuget is a the .NET package manager. Like npm or pip, but for .NET projects.

If you needed it for a published application that strikes me as fairly strange.

It’s a checkbox in the installer, easy to miss. Has defaulted to off for a very long time now, basically ever since SSDs have been commonplace.

The default depends on your storage. It has defaulted to not load on startup for me any time I’ve installed it to an SSD.

Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.

I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.

Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.

My mistake then, it’s more vulnerable then I initially thought. I also don’t think it’s secure even if that weren’t true, just that it’s not worse than single factor passwords (which you also shouldn’t use of security is a concern).

If the fact that a 128-bit value when sent to your server can retrieve a single piece of media or user info then I have real bad news about what you can do with a typically much shorter password.

Is it ideal that you can retrieve streams or user info from Jellyfin if you know the ID of the entity you’re looking for? No, obviously not. But you need to authenticate to get those IDs in the first place, and there are fewer bits of entropy in most people’s passwords than there are in UUIDs.

Being able to get streams unauthenticated by guessing the correct UUID is arguably still better security than using passwords without 2FA.

I don’t really like Discord, but it supports message pinning, threaded conversation, as well as a full blown discussion forum option for community channels. Your complaints seem to be more about the moderation of that specific community than Discord itself.

OP doesn’t seem to have responded, so no, but that’s not the fault of the question.

Because of the XY problem. The problem OP is stating may not actually be the source of the issues OP is experiencing.

Finding out what OP is trying to do will better inform a solution and may make the stated problem irrelevant.

I work at a “Microsoft Shop” in a division that was a previously acquired software developer that used an entirely linux based dev stack.

That stack is still all linux and we basically have to do all our work in WSL. It’s a pain.

People find sunsets pretty. That doesn’t mean they’re heliosexual. Finding a thing aesthetically pleasing is distinct from being sexually or romantically attracted.

The canteen at the Costco near me just got rid of straws entirely and uses lids made to drink directly from. Seems like an obvious solution to something that’s barely a problem.

From the text it seems like a site only gets added to the navigation history if the user interacts with it.

It’s insane to me how stock prices are basically entirely disconnected from how a company is performing and are dictated by stock market buying and selling pressures.

You could pick literally any publicly traded company and make its stock price soar just by convincing enough people to buy it, with no relation whatsoever to how the company is performing or forecasted to perform. See: GameStop.

Nvidia tanked because a bunch of people sold Nvidia stock. Full stop. They may have been motivated by news of deepseek or whatever, but that’s not what moved the stock price. Had no one sold it would’ve stayed exactly where it was.

Frankly baffling that anyone can look at it and think “yes, this is how it should work and I don’t see any problems with it.”

Telling a Debian user that Mint isn’t the most up to date struck me as pretty funny.

i is still a value type, that never changes. Which highlights another issue I have with the explanation as provided. Using the word “reference” in a confusing way. Anonymous methods capture their enclosing scope, so i simply remains in-scope for all calls to those functions, and all those functions share the same enclosing scope. It never changes from being a value type.

I think the explanation they provide is a bit lacking as well. Defining an anonymous function doesn’t “create a reference” to any variables it uses, it captures the scope in which it was defined and retains existing references.

The WTF in the C# example seems to be that people don’t understand anonymous functions and closures?
