ffmpeg and rsync are heavy candidates for me

piracy is the only ethical consumption under capitalism

aren’t ladybugs invasive :(

take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.

cult of the lamb and dave the diver are two of my go tos. would recommend!

one note tho: if you notice your deck acting slower, consider unintstalling some games. SSD performance tanks as it nears capacity. it’s best to leave about 20% free. I personally don’t always follow that, but when it starts acting slow thats my first bet.

very neat! thanks!

can you go into detail on the boxes and your mods? interested in getting some of my family off of Roku for this reason

silent planet is the best christian band I’ve ever discovered. they just have incredibly correct takes so idc if they’re religious.

please drop that sauce recipe that sounds delightful

not the commenter your responding but yes with proper setup travel is no issue.

I’ve never tried to host in the cloud so I have no input on that, but locally + tailscale is very doable and pretty dead simple to setup and manage.

I would highly recommend the linuxserver.io docker image. with a modern cpu and the docker image, transcoding won’t be too much of an issue with most titles and only one or two users. my server has media only in hevc, so some clients need transcoding. my 3700k is perfectly fine with it.

if you want to expose it to a domain you gotta be a little more careful, reverse proxy + an external auth provider like authentik at minimum is what I would suggest. fail2ban and anubis are also great ideas.

I’m good, but thanks for doing this! people like you make the fediverse what it is :)

I wrote code today I know I will have to touch in 2 weeks. I’m already dreading it. that shits a mess.

my experience on this app has been way better since I set up an instance block for the tankie triad.

I had a sustainability class where the professor used AI to write the course syllabus, assignments, and feedback. a fucking sustainability class.

I contacted the office of the president about it at my university but nothing ever happened of it. academia in general has gone off the rails with AI recently. I used to assume those with doctorates we’re bright enough to avoid AI but evidently that’s not the case.

yeah same. got banned for a few and decided it was actually quite nice then set up an instance block for .ml.

real leftists aren’t bootlickers for anyone.

there’s a lot of people that hopped on the Linux train in the past few years. which is great, truly. but many of them don’t understand where it came from or what it was originally designed to solve. particularly on lemmy, people are pretty up in arms about their opinions of Linux all the time, so I would bet whichever comm was doing that is mainly the new heads. again, love that it’s getting mainstream recognition but I wish the combative attitude was at least tabled until they actually understand it.

the recent debate of systemd in here kind of drove home that a lot of people just parrot points without having their own thought out opinions.

“yes, they intentionally made it so a perfectly capable device can’t build apps for the app store, but that has nothing to do with ewaste!”

no idea why you’ve spent so much time trying to convince people in this thread the behavior that apple has been openly criticized and indeed sued over is somehow ok.

idk. I just graduated college with the laptop I bought in 8th grade. that thing is 9 years old at this point. I paid 550$ after convincing my parents to cover the extra 50$ I didn’t have cause I wanted the 1050ti version. I’m a computer science student and took a few mobile app dev classes. it never gave an issue and is still kicking.

I think for nearly 6 times what I paid in 2017, one should be entitled to use a device for as long as the hardware is able to keep going, regardless of brand. that macbook was hobbled by a companies arbitrary decisions. 7 years is apples typical support length, yes (it’s the same for iOS on iPhones) but the fact is that these devices are still perfectly capable of remaining useful, but apple gladly turns them all into ewaste to get people to buy new ones.

your point of it still being solid if it had Linux is kinda moot. the average user doesn’t know how to install Linux and that’s not what they paid 3000$ for.

I play old school runescape. the community is either the nicest queer people you’ve ever met or absolute incels and there really not any in between.

you don’t care or ask lol.

something tells me you and your social circle isn’t reflective of the queer people living in Australia. may be the fact that you consider respecting people to be “culture war crap”. grow up
