I’d go for Jellyfin over Plex myself.

just a couple of years… yeah…

Switch pro worked without any tweaks as well.

I use kde6+Wayland. I do like the simplicity of Cinnamon, but it runs games slower than kde, even though mangohud claims they run at the same speed. For example, in Cinnamon it’ll say 60fps when it’s clearly in the 30s-40s, and kde actually runs the same thing at 60fps. This is with every tweak i could find, and yes, including turning on the setting to turn off compositing during games.

Kde6 is still quite buggy at times, but I’m really enjoying Wayland’s smoother general behavior over x11, even with x11 stuff like wine/proton. This is on arch + AMD rx 6600 xt. I used old gnome 2, then mate, then Cinnamon for years, but if KDE can clean itself up a little bit (no judgment tho, i get it) it may be my permanent DE. Generally when i go to report a bug, it’s already reported by someone else…

I generally do this on my NAS, combined with nightly and bi-weekly backups, plus a 6-mo safety backup, to a backup drive. Also, basic off-site nightly backups for important stuff. If I worked on really important stuff that required lots of versioning, though, I’d probably go with a versioning system instead of inserting the date.

There’s a dozen apps for it, but I wouldn’t trust them to do a perfect job. At a bare minimum, you’d probably need to keep said app up to date at all times, and it’d need to be one that runs in the background or runs on every boot or something.

I find it funny, actually. For years, I used DOS, exclusively command line-based, on a 286 and when I got a new 486 computer in the early 90s I was so excited to get Windows 3.1 on it. Decades later, I find myself hating Windows and going back to Linux and often a command line. As far as I’m concerned, the closest thing to the last usable version of Windows was 7, and it still kinda sucked.

searxng is awesome. Meta search of as many or as few engines as you want with no bullshit.

My favorite general image viewer is nomacs.

I don’t go to theaters enough to see entire audiences laughing, but I laughed…

I laughed uncontrollably at the climax/ending of Dark City at a friend’s birthday party. It was his favorite movie at the time. He wasn’t amused. I think the fact that he took the movie SO seriously, and that it ended in such an embarrassing schlocky way, was just too much for my poor system.

Also laughed my way through most of the first Fast and the Furious movie, in the theater. At the time, it seemed like an amazing absurdist comedy, but these days it’d be very tamely dumb. Lots of people probably think of it as some sort of classic or some shit now.

Finally, nobody in the theater laughed once at Down Periscope. IMDB has it at 6.2, but… nobody laughed. We walked out after giving up 30min in. edit: it was a different spoof movie from almost the same time that I’m thinking of, McHales Navy. Sorry for slandering you, Down Periscope, I’m sure you’re amazing.

It’s bad, but is it as bad as in movies/tv where people look into a microscope and see little viruses multiplying, or even worse, DNA double-helices floating around? Maybe it is…

I stopped watching after The Force Awakens, and this makes me even more sure of my decision.

“DNA” rotating the wrong way never fails to mildly irritate me.

There are plenty of those, depending on the location. Is it one of the Elodea species maybe?

I guess an AOSP-based rom, if one exists for your phone?

Less relaxing if you know that it has actual goals. There’s no actual repercussions if you fail, you just don’t get patted on the back as much. If you have that perfectionistic, completionist attitude, there’s still a tiny bit of stress. I wish the game had 0 expectations, but it’s still mostly relaxing.

Made a script/cron job to auto dl new videos from my favorite channels with ytdlp and then they are hosted through jellyfin. Archived forever, ad free, accessible to me from anywhere.

Reply to old reply, sorry. Technically blocking the IP isn’t perfect either. In theory, as long as it has the wifi credentials, and your wifi has access to the internet, your TV will be able to access the internet if it really wants to. All it’d have to do is ignore the IP assignment or fake/change a MAC address during DHCP. I don’t know why a “legit” TV would do this, but if you get some unbranded Chinese thing, or if any wifi device wants to be malicious, it can bypass DHCP+IP filters very easily.

I don’t want to give anything away for people, so I’ll just say that I never really appreciated the climax/ending part. It was pretty good up until that. I actually couldn’t help but start laughing the first time I saw it, which I doubt was the intended reaction. Basically the movie turns into schlock.

The house was built 7 years ago, so maybe the plumbers just threw on whatever they had in their van. Do you know what the crimped method/area is called on this thing? Is there a specific term for it?
