All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

Stremio & Real Debrid is soooo much easier than the self hosted approach, and is a piece of piss to set up

You are dead on. That post absolutely fucking reeks of AI. I want to say if you can’t smell it a mile off you’re an absolute cretin, but there are probably millions of people who’ve never really spent much time with LLMs and would be easily fooled by this garbage

Did it work out of the box for you? Doesn’t load for me on either of my machines that have waydroid

Is that what libhoudini is? I heard of it, but don’t recall if I installed it

Anyone tried blendOS with microsoft surface?

Hi all, I have an old surface SP7 that I want to wipe and install linux on. I’ve been having fun playing with Waydroid on my other machine, but it is running Mint and the wayland implementation is not very mature. Obviously for a touch screen device being able to run android apps is really beneficial....

1111 OP ,

Thanks! I actually decided to give up on Blend and try Nobara, which integrates the required surface kernel changes out of the box. I chose the version with KDE Plasma 6 Wayland, and have had no bother getting Waydroid to run. I’m actually having a blast using a machine with full Android and full Linux functionailty

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...

Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...

K means 1000 by convention though, and 1080 is the closest to 1000

Anyone have experience with this? I just moved off windows to Linux and I haven’t settled on an Office replacement yet.

I have the exact same setup. How do you remap that button

Window snapping

Hey guys, I’ve been running Mint on my home computer for a little while now and I’m having a great time, however there’s one behaviour from Windows I’m missing. When you hit win + arrows to snap the currently focussed window to the left or right half of the screen, windows will present a dialogue to select a companion...

1111 OP ,

I’ve got this now, looks pretty cool, thanks! Gonna keep looking over the documentation, but I can’t quite see the particular behaviour I’m looking for. It has the snapping (and better options than Win10), but I want to be presented with the list of other available windows for snapping on the other side.

1111 OP ,

I’m not tied to anything at this stage, but I don’t have a lot of free time for trying different stuff. Can I install this DE alongside cinnamon, like I have with i3?

Should I just quit urban and social life for a rural and lonely life?

I’m majoring in CS related-field, and I used to have tons of passion for it and underlying tech, and worked as full stack dev, but my mind was very different in a good way (better at logical/cognitive demanding tasks, creative, productive, etc). Things happened, and I just can’t stand living in society, experiencing all this...

Networking Help

I just installed a mesh WiFi network in addition to my ISP-provided router that could barely reach upstairs. I had some locally hosted services set up as per Mediabox. All containers were set up with my machine IP(?) 192.xxx.x.xx and were working great inside my network, which is all I wanted to do while I’m learning. I...

1111 OP ,

Sure thing! I’ll answer everything as best I can.

The machine is a single laptop running Mint. All the docker containers are being served from this machine, and during this testing I was trying to access them all from that same machine. I observed the containers were up and running properly with docker stats cmd and I saw they were accessible over the original IP when using the ISP WiFi.

The access points are TP Link Deco, it’s 3 units, the first of which is connected via ethernet to my ISP provided router (Virgin Media Superhub). I believe they are WiFi meshing. I can’t tell too much more about how they work ‘under the hood’ as the setup was very… ‘consumer friendly’ and didn’t cover much technical detail

When I connect to this network and run ifconfig it looks like the IP changes in the last few digits. I thought if I used that IP with appropriate ports I might be able to view my servers, but that was not the case.

1111 OP ,

Hello! I for sure have a double NAT problem - after writing this post I went to connect my xbox to the new mesh WiFi and it told me this was the issue, but I had no idea how to fix it until all of the great advice on here. Your instructions were spot on and now everything is working as expected! :)

Do you have any thoughts on if I should stop the ISP router from broadcasting its 2.4 and 5GHz networks now? They seem redundant, but I saw that turning the router into modem mode will prevent me from using all it’s Ethernet ports :/

1111 OP ,

Yo! Based on some of the other answers this seems spot on. I guess the problem is that I was kinda running two routers, when really I wanted the mesh system to act as a series of access points for the original network. I don’t know - but I can confirm that turning the mesh system into ‘Access Point Mode’ fixed this issue for me

1111 OP ,

Hi!

The hostname thing is weird. I was able to navigate to the hostname in my browser which successfully showed the mediabox landing page (I believe this is ‘Homer’), but all the links on there were pointing to the machine IP. If I changed the address to be hostname:32400, maybe it would have worked, but I didn’t try that. I guess homer should route to a machine IP not a localhost so as when you land there from another device it properly routes to the machine which can serve the apps.

Aside: Do you (or anyone reading!) know how you do that thing where you alias your machine IP to an arbitrary name? I’m sure I did it once upon a time with ‘bonjour’(?), but I don’t recall any more than that.

Anyway, turning the deco’s onto access point mode solved everything :)

Regarding mediabox - there seems to be a few good projects like this, they are actually incredible and super helpful for a learning perspective. I started with YAMS which actually has miles better documentation and is super helpful for setting up the services. Mediabox seems to assume you know a bit more about how the *arrs work. It sets up the containers and the folder structures really nicely, but for a novice like myself it took some time to get all the applications configured.

It’s been a fun project though!

Ideas for self-hosted services

I’ve had a “home lab server” for a while now, it’s nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don’t know what to do with it… I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server… I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring...

Did you need steam to run the Valheim Server? We have it on xbox game pass and don’t want to buy it again

1111 ,

Can you tell us more about why you like this package?

1111 ,

Sweet! It looks cool. Do you use it for work? I manage to get enough info about my vehicle expenses from a finance app that scrapes my bank statements, which is enough of an overview for my requirements
