Yes your browser tracks all of this, movement, hover, clicks etc. It’s how pages are able to respond to various mouse gestures.

Having query logging enabled on a production database is bonkers. The duplicate deletes are too but query logging is intended for troubleshooting only. It kills performance.

Yea they’re internal. That’s normal for a fully loaded 2u storage server. Some even have 2-4 extra disk slots in the rear to cram in a few more.

I concur and it just gets worse the more hardware you have in them. 256G of memory and 24 disks? Might as well go have lunch while it boots.

The fall of newspapers led us down the path of click bait, low quality, ad driven “news”. Very few newspapers survived the transition to digital because suddenly nobody wanted to pay for access to something they could get online for free. Those that did survive mostly exist in a much smaller form with low funding and reduced quality.

Personally, I’m excited to see it becoming more common for people to subscribe to news services again. I just wish there was more diversity and competition available like there was in the past but I’m hopeful we’ll get there as more people seem to be opening back up to paying for high quality publications.

High quality journalism can’t exist without paid subscribers but there are still ways to access it for those who can’t afford it, visiting a local library for example.

Those features are what bring in revenue and I don’t blame them for trying to be profitable. You can only get so far on lifetime subscriptions.

As long as they don’t abandon the core product so I can continue using it as the awesome media server that it is I have no complaints. They can add all the additional features they want.

DVR, commercial skip, intro and credit detection, plexpy etc… are all awesome features which have been added in the last 5 years or so and enhance the core product.
