I drove to Italy to a gamestop to buy two and two links. My first and last time in a gamestop!

Oh wow! Switzerland! How did you get so big!?

Thanks other me. I know me when I see me.

Impossible.

I’ve never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.

This kinda kills the value proposition of a deck. Its a good machine, but struggles with high end titles. Were the performance or battery life better, I’d have overlooked the price but its still the same machine. A more powerful successor would fit this price point, not the original machine.

As long as alternatives or similar products exist at current prices, the deck will be a hard sell.

My use cases are:

• Connect from multiple devices on the same home network (with the application)
• Connect from a phone device on the internet (with the application)
• Connect from some PC’s and devices on the internet (with the application and from web browser)

For home networked devices, I don’t care about security that much. I try to lock it down on the router level and by using VLANs for less secure devices. I connect via IP directly (or .local domain).

Jellyfin runs under its own user with read access to a media library.

For devices on the internet, I have jellyfin exposed on a specific url path of my domain - through a reverse proxy all through 443. A bit of security through obscurity here. I’m proxied through cloudflare on the DNS side with very restrictive IP rules.
I think this is enough for the security flaws jellyfin does have. I’d sleep better at night if it had client certificate support, but Its not a big deal imo. If security flaws allowing remote code execution are found, I’ll shut it down and allow access through wireguard only and lose access from some devices on the internet where I cant use VPNs. Not a bit deal either.

I did and expected to find an image in the article. See, had I posted this on lemmy, I’d have posted an article closer to the source, with the photos. I assumed others would do the same. I assume too much, sorry.

Why no photo?
Seems like a photo of a pipe dislodging black sludge next to a photo of a tesla factory in a news page would instill a better sense of “evil corporation” to me.

Two extremes here. Debian is slow to update while arch is bleeding edge.

I avoid containerized desktop apps (snap, flatpak) so I couldn’t run Debian as a daily driver. You’d want to use the latest FireFox and their repo’s release is old. You you can get it from flatpak, but I don’t want to do that. Running on recent (<1y) hardware will also be problematic. I guess you could keep on adding 3rd party repos to your install, though some post from debian forums always stuck with me: “Debian is only what is released + whats in the official repo. Install anything else and you’re not running debian anymore.”. Its a whacky OS and I love it, but daily drive it only on my server.

Arch puts everything on their repo straight away. And if its not there, you’re downloading code from AUR and building it yourself. I actually appreciate this since it complies with the philosophy that you can’t really trust your applications unless you read the source and build it yourself. Awesome, but the general public shouldn’t be doing this… I don’t mind applications being distributed in binary form. I am able to trust linux community maintained repositories. Arch is for the geeks imo.

I found Fedora to be a good middle ground, since it gets package updates straight away while still maintaining fixed OS releases. No need for snap or flatpaks since their repo has everything and is updated. Its also widely supported by software vendors (just like debian). Id go with it as a recommendation, but still note that its philosophy is free software only and this can potentially mean tinkering with additional stuff from RPM fusion, especially if you dance with nvidia and watch videos encoded with non free codecs.

It takes a bit of time to find the right distro and that is the biggest obstacle to linux imo.

Its not a weed if its useful. It may just be a little “unwanted at the moment”.

How useful is this in the grand scheme of things if the applications themselves don’t have a 10ft UI? I guess you’d need to limit yourself and find apps specifically made to be shown on a TV… within a repository that caters desktop apps. Blending TV’s and desktops is hard…

My bank account and accomplishments say I’m 25. Check & mate.

Lady, have I got news for you…

I don’t game as much as I used to, but for the games I do play, I’m not seeing many (or any) problems. Video encoding with ffmpeg through nvenc works fine too.
Current issues I’m having are 3d acceleration in KVM under Wayland. Apparently it only works with nouveau? Not a deal breaker in any sense, just the latest observation.

It may have been a donation. Donating your body to science can result in you becoming a classroom skeleton, or blown up in the sky with a rocket. If you’re lucky enough, they put you in a field and let your body rot, while observing the process. You don’t really get a say in it, but cadavers are used for all sorts of things.

Weird they didn’t do this from the start.

Disregard that. I read something wrong… apparently it was about the store only and is old news.

I recently (a year ago) bought my first portable PS system, a Vita. Fantastic console, thriving ‘underground’ community. Just caught the tail end of all its online services working before they’ll be shut down this year.

Indian accent: “Alright mam, when you install this app, I will contact you tomorrow and we can proceed with the transfer. For security reasons, don’t tell anyone you received this call.”
