You’d download legit trial versions of adobe shit and use GenP to disable the trial and call home functionalities. Brilliant bit of kit before I moved to Linux.

ai is the new stack overflow which is the new copying someone else’s work which is the new reading the manual

It’s surprising how slow open source is on replicating Roku. So many manufacturers could be using Linux to bypass androidTV and RokuOS bullshit. I suppose AndroidTV is good enough even despite that.

Private trackers usually have a request mechanism that you can use. I currently use seedpool and digitalcore which let you request media after you’ve spent enough time seeding media

bring back calling sysadmins “webmasters” sounds way more mystical and ethereal

MergerFS and SnapRAID could be good for you. It’s not immediate parity like with ZFS RAID (You run a regular cronjob to calculate RAID parity) but it supports mismatched drive sizes, expansion of the pool at any time, and some other features that should be good for a media server where live parity isn’t critical.

Proxmox and TrueNAS are nice because they help manage ZFS and other remote management within a nice UI but really you can just use Debian with SSH and do the same stuff. DietPi has a few nice utilities on top of Debian (DDNS manager and CLI fstab utilities, for example)but not super necessary.

Personally I use TrueNAS but I also used DietPi/Debian for years and both have benefits and it really matters what your workflow is. OMV supports everything you want too (incouding SnapRAID) but takes extra setup which put me off.

Docker or LXC containers won’t hurt your performance btw. There’s supposedly some tiny overhead but both are designed to use the basic Linux system as much as possible: they’re way faster than on WSL. For hardware acceleration it’ll be deferred to the GPU for most things and there’s lots of documentation to set it up. The best thing about docker is that every application is kept separate to eachother - updates can be done incrementally and rollbacks are possible too!

Appflowy is a self-hostable notion replacement that’s a bit more mature than this project atm. I hope this can spur some more development away from Notion though, I’m not a fan of the always-online element

rocketchat seems decent

I never got solvarr to work sadly but your mileage may vary. I ended up stalking /r/opensignups til decent trackers came through for my media

all of them if you’re willing to compile it from source, or commit to running some of the kernel on pen and paper

The UK is pretty bad for tenants rights but they do force landlords to putting deposits into special accounts that have legal protections for the tenant, and if said landlord tries to avoid it you can usually easily win back a multiple value of your deposit with little the landlord can do.

Landlords regularly take the piss with claiming exorbitant amounts for “damages” which is harder to contest, and many of us just accept a few deductions even knowing they will just pocket it.

we’ve joined two squads together, both full stack, but for app and web platforms. its fucking chaos

pi zero for streaming is insane not gonna lie. What sort of resolution do you stream it at?

A decently newish phone would blow even a pi 5 out of the water I bet. Modern GPU drivers from snapdragon or mediatek plus core designs that arent 7 years old out of the factory would be a godsend for low-watt homelabbers

my friends complaining that my plex server because I left my phone on the bus and it ran out of charge

I just memorise the IPs lmao. then again I only have 1 or 2 hosts up on my network ever

and this is called being agile

Congrats! and besides, if you decide you like a different media player later you’re still free to spin it up and point it to the same media drives, plex/jelly/emby/whatever don’t modify your files. I’ve even seen some use Jellyfin and Plex.

Enjoy the rabbit hole !

These are usually installed as core Google apps on Android, and most flavours have them hidden since they’re really just background daemons/libraries.

Gf had the same happen on her Huawei P30 which clearly wasn’t set up to have the apps hidden by default.

If youre degoogling obvs not what you wanna have on your device but technically they shouldn’t be doing much on their own.

because the comic says it’s better, duh

Is there a thing where you can link these to other trackers to make it available to more leechers?
