Plex, but they’re getting big brothery. They do support relay through their own server.

jellyfin + cloudflare tunnel. Still big brothery, but less, pretty easy and not against their tos

Syncthing only works because it’s bursty. Once you start trying to run sustained data over it, people will run out of capacity pretty quickly.

Something could probably be done DHT/Torrent style. All the listeners share in the transfers, but the availability might be dicey.

For me, it’s Jellyfin + Tailscale. I always connect home and play from my media server and if TS ever gives me any lip, i’ll change over to headscale or just wireguard.

The US has little to no advanced manufacturing these days and there are birth rate issues thousands of miles away from places where it does happen.

Honey, break out the arc net adapters. It’s going to be a long night.

Getting the machine running was cake, getting online through dialup after that was the real pain :)

Mobile device flashing is a fucking alien world. Samsung products are not good for it, especially in the US.

The alt OS’s are mainly built against ancient hardware, and the SKUs that work are so limited that they’re not particularly cheap on the used market.

The best thing you can do is go fairphone or pixel and specifically get one of the models that is directly claimed as supported.

If you can’t get it to work, find the OS forums and hop in, someone will bend over backward to help you out if you’re nice about it.

Ehh, big bucks and job security can be quite an afridesiac. Just have to make sure to stay clean and presentable, and share some leisure activities that your potential mates will enjoy.

I just did a 2012 mac book air, well ‘just’ was probably 2023… but i digress

Ubuntu went straight on, just works, runs quickly. I’d have done debian which is more my go to, but I wanted to get the maximum level of community support and I think ubuntu has that.

basic instructions:

There were a couple of fights:

I wanted to swap the function and alt buttons to match my linux pc’s, which was a special problem, because the FN key has its own special controller. There’s a page and a utility for it somewhere on the internet that lets you reprogram it. I doubt you’d want that though, since you’re already used to the layout.

The runtime on battery was awful, but it was a 4GB ancient Air. Out of the gate, I got a max of 2 hours, and OSX was getting 6-8 hours.

I installed TLP, twisted the governors WAY down, got it up to 4 hours while still usable. It still runs better in 4GB than OSX, just not as long.

Honestly, the Mac hardware is kinda rough for Linux. I run it on Lenovos and Dells and get 90+% of their normal battery life.

But it does work on Mac and runs quite well, even with very little RAM. I will say, you still need to throttle down that processor or they get a bit toasty :)

Your average company is woefully prepared to deal with ewaste. If you sell it, there are legal and financial ramifications. Assuming you could make at most a couple hundred on a box, the labor to take it someplace, deal with finance, deal with legal, deal with returns for anything that goes doa in the move. The best you can do is sell or give it to a wholesaler who will give you near nothing for it to shoulder the risk.

Whenever possible, I release old hardware to end users. Refresh it, let them give it to their kids/family/whatever.

To this day, individuals are making their own fake borders when they can’t seem to get their own borders created

no worries, sometimes people need the /s, context online isn’t always the same for everyone

I hope they dont’ get that far.

was /s

Well, Portalnd won’t fight back, we need step 7 somehow…

We are should be better than this goddammit!

I don’t mind the config.

I don’t mind most of the features.

I dislike them trying to use timers to get rid of cron

I like it’s logging for linux on the desktop if I lose some logs becuas of space that’s what i’d do anyway

I don’t like it’s logging for servers, those logs are necessary and need to be preserved.

journalctl -f is pretty cool

journalctl -fu is pretty cool

The federal government has too much internal power and influence

It gets messy when the administration ignores the rule of law and owns the judiciary enough to make it legal.

sometimes ya need that /s

They in cahoots More like they’re mobilizing to counteract Android’s killing of AOSP.

work on most phones

A lot of the world can hardly get an unlockable phone.

It is, at best, another draw on the Uno pile. Then we just hope we didn’t buy the “Oops all Hitler’s” set.
