Not a single original film broke the box office top 15 in 2024


in reply to TheImpressiveX

I'm going through my watch list of original films from 2024. It certainly doesn't look like a quality problem.

The Substance, Cuckoo, A Real Pain, Heretic, The Piano Lesson, The Wild Robot (does being based on a book count?), Conclave, Here, Thelma, Your Monster, Oddity, Strange Darling, Hundreds of Beavers, Blink Twice, Rebel Ridge, Didi, Kinds of Kindness, Wildcat, In a Violent Nature, I Saw the TV Glow, Civil War, Sasquach Sunset, Love Lies Bleeding, Monkey Man, Riddle of Fire, Lisa Frankenstein, Orion and the Dark, and Drugstore June.

Yeah in my top ten list (of which only one I saw at home rather than in theaters), the only movies that were based on existing IP were Dune Part Two, The Wild Robot, and Godzilla Minus One.


A simple bash script that allows the user to visually explore their file system.


Hey everyone. I thought someone might enjoy my simple bash script that I use to go through my fs.

It requires eza, fzf, and zoxide. I use eza and zoxide as my main to-go vanilla replacements, but I'm sure vanilla ls and cd will work too!

I use nnn for file management.

It doens't have a preview pane by default, but I don't need it most of the time, so I just use the plugin for it when I need it.

Also supports quite a few other kinds of plugins and features like bookmarking.

Keep it up. A competitor to watch would be the broot project


How are you dealing with the UK's Online Safety Act, that comes into effect this March?


"Companies will have three months from when the guidance is finalised to carry out risk assessments and make relevant changes to safeguard users.........."Platforms are supposed to remove illegal content like promoting or facilitating suicide, self-harm, and child sexual abuse."


This is already impacting futurology.today - one of the Mods is British, and because of this law doesn't feel comfortable continuing. As they have back-end expertise with hosting, if they go, we may have to shut down the whole site.

How easy is it to block British IP addresses? Would that be enough to circumvent any legal issues, if no one else involved in running the site is British and it is hosted somewhere else in the world?

The admins are hopeful at the moment that we will be able to comply without too much trouble

Thanks, we'll keep track of what they are doing.

Solar powered server rack


Has anyone gotten their server rack to run off solar power.

I got the idea after seeing the Anker solix systems on sale at costco and thought what if I could get one of those to power my server rack and have a few rigid solar panels on the roof to charge the battery up during the day and run the server partially during the night off the battery, but switch over to grid power when it runs dry?

Curious if anyone has any experience with that, I'm not looking to do my whole house just my server rack for now, from my limited tracking of my rack it looks like it uses 8kwh a day so it seems possible.
Searching online it looks like there are much cheaper battery options than anker

‘Secure’ for whom? You mean it can’t be controlled by a narrow cabal so the findings can be strip-mined for profit of said cabal?

Science can be open, industry can be secure. The latter tends to bend the former to its will, in most capitalism based systems, though.

OpenPilot è un sistema di assistenza alla guida avanzato e open source che funziona su oltre 275 modelli di auto


Attualmente, openpilot svolge le funzioni di Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) e Automated Lane Centering (ALC). openpilot è in grado di accelerare, frenare automaticamente per gli altri veicoli e sterzare per seguire la strada/la corsia.

Quando openpilot è abilitato, un sistema di monitoraggio del conducente lo sorveglia e si assicura che sia sempre attento e pronto a prendere il controllo.


Se utilizzate correttamente, queste funzioni riducono il carico di lavoro del conducente e possono rendere i lunghi viaggi rilassanti anziché noiosi.

Which Linux tool or command is surprisingly simple, powerful, and yet underrated?"


Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?

This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.

For example I'm surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.

Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.

Where can this variant of coreutils be found? This is the first time I have heard of it.

I submitted it to f-droid, but it takes a month or two to get up there. You can add the izzyondroid repo to your f-droid client if you want this, and updates to all other apps a lot faster.
