I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there’s always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

• It just can’t find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
• The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it’s hard to switch :(

I also didn’t like it for years. I used a tiling window manager (first i3, then sway), but tried the new plasma 6 and really liked it. Dolphin file manager was the thing that converted me.

And Magit

Super easy to use and the guest distro just works. Minimal interface which looks nice, but misses some features such as network settings.

Qemu is great though. Linux virtualization is the best in class. Basically the whole Internet runs on top of KVM. Boxes is just a UI on top of KVM.

Fedora is awesome. I use the immutable version Kinoite, and it’s fork with non-free extras Aurora. Dev container is with Arch just because there are a ton of packages. All the GUI apps from Flathub.

I need to add KDE to this mix. What a wonderful desktop it is. Like what Windows should be but is not.

Yep. You need to pay for the patent with certain codecs, that’s why operating systems with a company behind them usually do not distribute them. Same with a few Linux distros, such as Fedora.

You can install them and the packages for your os are freely available. Just not from the company making the product in the fear of patent trolls.

Opnsense. Been running it in my router with all the treats for years. Updates frequently and easily. You can do things like tailscale, wireguard, traffic shaping, or adblock in the firewall level pretty easily with it.

Awesome project.

You should maybe read about the use cases for deduplication before using it. Here’s one recent article:

If you mostly store legit Blu-ray rips, the answer is probably no, you should not use zfs deduplication.

I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.

I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.

Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

Neither of them is better than the other, it’s just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don’t work.

Properly investing takes a lot of time and your big lump of money is not protected if the bank goes under. But yes, that is the best strategy.

This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I’m just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It’s important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.

It will haunt me forever sadly…

I’m not the one who’s so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins Never did I wanna be here again And I don’t remember why I came

Depends. For example in Finland the filing is done for you every year by the tax authorities and tax is deducted every month from your salary. Once a year you get either money back or need to pay more if your work situation changes during the year. You can also correct them by saying “hey I paid this bus card” etc. and get money back.

In Germany it works about the same, except they charge you quite a lot more every month. Here you do not have to file, but if you do you usually get a lot of money back. Filing is more complex than in Finland, so you might want to have a tax advisor to do it for you.

In Germany you’ll get a fine and lose points from your license if you show a middle finger. Even if you’re riding a bike out walking (if you have a license)…

You still need to file every year. An advisor at least here in Germany can do both countries, but you pay a premium for that.

That guy in the corner meme here…

Yeah. Although what if half of the country is intolerant? What then? Divide the country into two?

Been watching a movie per day for quite a long time now. There are many great ones. Just watch all the genres from all over the world and from different decades, you’ll find them.
