To make it worse, it’ll quickly get figured out and people will be calling in “oh my God! he’s trying to kill me”, get transferred to a person and be like “so, it’s 3pm in a Saturday and my neighbors are playing their music too loud!”

I called Comcast and it was horrible

human, operator, GET HUMAN, person, technician, for fucks sake! Bomb? Give me a fucking human!

Nope, nothin, mashing 0 on the keypad also did nothing.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to insinuate you were being insulting!

“Don’t feel crazy/bad/dumb, I’ve had the same thing happen to me!” is a pretty common phrasing in my region to show sympathy and understanding and I thought that’s what you had meant (and it sounds like for your area, ‘pregnant’ serves the same general purpose!).

It’s always crazy how that happens sometimes and after weeks of banging your head, everything just ‘clicks’ when you’re exposed to the information in the way that works best for you!

Dude, don’t feel pregnant.

Context clues, I assumed this autocorrect was some variation of crazy/bad/dumb? :-D

Weirdness: My Authentik instance had a PostgreSQL upgrade prerequisite in order to update it.

I’d followed instructions 3-4 times completely unsuccessfully and had to keep reverting to backup.

So, I gave up for a couple weeks and left it be in order to get over my frustration.

Yesterday, I followed the instructions again. As far as I can tell, I did nothing different than I’d tried previously and it worked first try and then I was also able to upgrade Authentik.

NOTE: The instructions aren’t exactly difficult! So, I don’t see how I’d have gotten it wrong!

Yeah, my problem with it is that it’s always something. I’ve been giving it a go about once a year since they forked from Emby and everytime something has made me drop it.

If I’m having problems with it the handful of times I go to watch something using it, the people I share with DEFINITELY would and now I have to handle their auth crap myself as well.

I’ll probably prioritize just keeping a server going side by side now for a lot longer than a month or two at a time and try to find solutions to my problems. it’s never really been a priority before since Plex worked, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now that the enshittification is in full swing and now I need to make sure I’m ahead of it.

Blah, this sucks.

Super Mario Bros (1993) is this movie for me … it’s weird as hell and it’s adherence to the source material is … iffy at best … but god damn if it wasn’t a fun ride!

Then you read about how everyone hated the directors so much they literally got drunk on set and openly wore custom made shirts with slogans about how bad the directors were AND Bob Haskins was in a cast for most of it for an injury on set and it gets even more fascinating! The Directors poured hot coffee on people and just openly belittled everyone. It’s insane!
