I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
Hi! I have a suggestion: Stop doing whatever you're doing. Go hug a fluffy kitty instead!

Only about 7 days until Clacton is given the chance to make the funniest thing in politics anywhere happen. (Well, this USA American thinks it'd be funny.)
Farage losing to a bin (excuse me, "the establishment") would be the funniest outcome ever. Funnier even than that time Scotland's winds tested if Trump's comb-over was a toupee.
(I know Binface likely won't win, but really Farage lost 3 weeks ago.)
