Strange that Alcohol is called Spirits...

As director of the New River Health Association Black Lung Clinic, Emery’s seen guys as young as 45 getting double lung transplants as disease rates soar among miners forced to dig through more rock filled with deadly silica to reach the remaining coal — far worse than the dust their grandfathers inhaled. A rule approved last year by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration would cut the federal limit for allowable respirable crystalline silica dust exposure by half to help protect miners of all types nationwide from the current driving force of black lung and other illnesses.

But, now, it’s in jeopardy amid other Trump administration cutbacks and proposals targeting workers’ health and safety guardrails: Stuck in a politically charged environment that promotes industry, with lawmakers arguing to change it and the federal agency that wrote the rule not pushing to enforce it. Some angry retired miners with black lung are fighting back, demanding that President Donald Trump honor promises he made to the people who voted him in.

I certainly hope the November skies don't turn gloomy.

TL;DR: Stop running a Jellyfin server. MPV can directly play anything from your NAS, stream YouTube ad-free, handle literally every codec, and is infinitely customizable. It's like vim for video.

Why I ditched my Jellyfin setup

I used to run Jellyfin on my NAS. Transcoding, web interface, the works. Then I realized... why am I running a whole server stack when MPV can just directly play files from my NAS with zero setup?

What MPV Actually Is

MPV is a command-line video player that plays literally everything. But it's way more than that - it's a video engine you can build workflows around.

The Basics That Blow Minds

Direct NAS streaming (zero server needed):

mpv smb://192.168.1.100/media/movies/whatever.mkv
mpv nfs://nas.local/shows/season1/*

No transcoding. No server. No web interface overhead. Just direct file access with perfect quality and zero latency.

YouTube (and 1000+ sites) with ZERO ads:

brew install yt-dlp
mpv "https://youtube.com/watch?v..."

That's it. Ad-free YouTube in your video player with all your custom keybinds. Works with Twitch, Vimeo, Twitter, Reddit, literally hundreds of sites via yt-dlp.

Play entire directories:

mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/BreakingBad/Season1/*

Boom. Instant binge session. Space bar skips to next episode. No library scanning, no metadata scraping, just files.

Workflows That Changed My Life

1. The "Watch Anywhere" Setup

Mount your NAS shares in Finder (or /etc/fstab for auto-mount). Now MPV treats your entire media library like local files. Add this to your shell config:

alias play="mpv"
alias tv="mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/"
alias movies="mpv /Volumes/NAS/movies/"

2. YouTube as Your Streaming Service

alias yt="mpv"
alias ytm="mpv --no-video"  # audio only for music

Now:

• yt "youtube-url" = instant ad-free playback
• ytm "youtube-playlist" = whole playlists as audio
• Keep your YouTube history/recommendations in browser, watch in MPV

3. Picture-in-Picture for Anything

Add ontop=yes to config, resize window small = instant PiP for any video source while you work. Works with live streams, security cameras, whatever.

4. The "No Plex Shares Needed" Share

Send someone an SMB/NFS share to your media. They install MPV. They can now browse and play your media library like it's local. No Plex accounts, no streaming limits, no transcoding quality loss.

5. Live Stream Monitoring

mpv http://192.168.1.50:8080/stream.m3u8

Home security cameras, baby monitors, anything streaming HLS/RTMP = instant monitoring with keybind controls.

Customization That Makes Jellyfin Look Basic

Scripts That Make It Insane

MPV supports Lua/JS scripts. Drop them in ~/.config/mpv/scripts/ and they just work.

Must-have scripts:

1. sponsorblock - Auto-skips YouTube sponsors/intros/outros

   curl -o ~/.config/mpv/scripts/sponsorblock.lua \
     https://raw.githubusercontent.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock/master/sponsorblock.lua
   

2. quality-menu - Change YouTube quality on the fly

3. autosubsync - Auto-fixes subtitle timing

4. playlistmanager - Visual playlist editor

5. mpv-discordRPC - Show what you're watching on Discord

Advanced Workflows

Watch Parties (Syncplay)

Install syncplay, point it at MPV, now you and friends watch your NAS content together in perfect sync. No Plex share limits, no quality loss.

Audio Streaming

ytm "youtube-playlist-url"
# or
mpv --no-video /Volumes/NAS/music/*

No GUI needed. Terminal command plays audio, you use keybinds (k=pause, j/l=skip, etc). Or just minimize and use as background music player.

For GUI: IINA (Mac) is literally just MPV with a pretty interface and uses your MPV config.

Frame-by-Frame Analysis

Built-in keybinds (. and , in my config) step forward/back frame-by-frame. Perfect for animation analysis, sports breakdown, debugging video issues.

Automated Workflows

# Watch anything in clipboard
mpv $(pbpaste)

# Random episode
mpv "$(find /Volumes/NAS/shows -name "*.mkv" | shuf -n1)"

# Continue last watched (auto position restore)
mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/CurrentShow/*

Why This Beats Jellyfin For Me

Pros:

• Zero server maintenance
• No transcoding = perfect quality
• Plays literally any codec without setup
• Way faster (direct file access)
• Keyboard-driven workflow
• Works offline/online seamlessly
• Infinitely scriptable
• Cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows)

Cons:

• No pretty web UI (I consider this a pro)
• No user management (just use OS permissions)
• No watch tracking (unless you script it)
• No mobile app (VLC on phone + SMB works though)

Who This Is For

• You're comfortable with terminal/config files
• You want maximum quality (no transcoding ever)
• You prefer keyboard controls
• You value simplicity over features
• You already have a NAS/file server
• You want YouTube ad-free without browser extensions

Getting Started

# macOS
brew install mpv yt-dlp

# Linux
sudo apt install mpv yt-dlp

# Windows
scoop install mpv yt-dlp

Create config at:

• Mac/Linux: ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf
• Windows: %APPDATA%/mpv/mpv.conf

Mount your NAS shares, point MPV at files. Done.

Q: What about mobile? A: VLC on phone + SMB share to your NAS. Or just use MPV on desktop/laptop like a civilized person.

Sorry, running late again--slept in 😴

Still trucking through Fire Emblem Warriors myself, but I've also put some time into the Birdcage demo, and I've got to say I'm looking forward to seeing the full game one of these days!

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was convicted in September of attempting a coup following his 2022 electoral defeat and was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison.

The majority of justices on Brazil’s Supreme Court panel reviewing former President Jair Bolsonaro’s appeal rejected his request on Friday.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the case’s rapporteur, rejected all defense arguments, calling them “unfeasible,” and said there were no omissions in the sentencing. Justices Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin concurred with De Moraes. The vote of Justice Cármen Lúcia is still pending, but she is expected to align with the other panel members.

The panel has until Nov. 14 to submit their votes, and the decision won’t be finalized until then. Although unlikely, justices could change their votes before then.

with how prevalent pedophilia is in the owning classes, would earth have been free of most of the people who drive on climate change?

I'm thinking warmongerer Donald J. Trump, would some CEO from Exxon oil be gone too? Would Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs also be gone? Like how much of a better climate would we have gotten had Jeffrey Epsteins mansion literally blown up along with all the people who went to him to party?

So, I bring lunch to work every day. An iced tea, fiber brownie, fruit and an entree. I'd like to buy some kind of fruit in bulk and leave it in the fridge to have through the week so that I can't forget to pack it, and I always have fruit. I know a lot of fruit suffer bruises from being in the fridge as opposed to hanging in a bag. Any recommendations for something that will keep nicely?

When dolphins began washing up dead by the dozens on Lake Tefe in Brazil's Amazonas state, hydrologist Ayan Fleischmann was sent to find out why.

What he and his colleagues discovered was startling: a brutal drought and extreme heat wave that began in September 2023 had transformed the lake into a steaming cauldron. The lake's waters reached 41 degrees Celsius, or 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit

Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can't trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world.

A world where manual labor is no longer needed, where people can just exist as large mammals are meant to exist. Robots will handle it all and we can just do as we please... and the robots are going to be plentiful because once enough of the process of making a robot becomes automated, the cost of it will go to zero. But to get there it is going to require a ton of money... these robots are going to be way too expensive for people to actually buy them, so investors and governments will help out. The investors will eventually lose everything, but that will put us on the way to having everything we need to be created through completely automated systems.

Of course, there will still be jobs for those who really want them - or more likely, who want them and are good at them - or even more likely, who knows the right people... but if we can get our basic needs taken care of it night not fully end poverty but it would be a step in the right direction.

But, alas... It's Musk saying it so it's only to further enrich himself and won't actually happen.
