Because I’m forced to use a Mac at work. So to avoid their terrible UI, I use the terminal for most of the things. Then switching back to Linux is relatively easy.

Also it is faster in most cases and it’s keyboard-first.

Most of the time I use Bluetooth headphones, but when I’m in the mood to listen to some good quality music, I switch to wired headphones… Probably a few times per month and only at home.

It is not even a joke. Every time we cross the border between the Netherlands and Belgium in a car, we laugh about how distinct it is.

issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint,...

I see a lot of people recommend it. Is it really good? I’ve made my setup with proton but I’m not really happy with connection speed and seeding.

Good to know. For me torrenting is the only case

This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I’m moving tomorrow😁

8tomat8 ,

It does. What concerns me is the sign “up to 2TB”. And I don’t understand if it is a limitation of preinstalled os or hardware.

Google is keeping their services free for long enough, so people start believing it’s supposed to be like that. At the same moment they keep paying for their music streaming, cloud storage and the rest…

This data is translated into money through the ads, and people are trying to block it aggressively. Which part of that is not free?

280 it’s not from YouTube, but the entire corp, right?

Also revenue is not the profit. The cost for maintaining video streaming is enormous, especially if this size. Only traffic itself can easily eat half of YouTube’s revenue.

PS Don’t get me wrong, I think Google is a typical corp with no feelings. But I’m surprised how people not complain about Spotify, Tidal, DropBox, etc…

Debian was the reason, why I’ve started distro hopping, in the first place

Good server OS for Jellyfin

I want to make a server for hosting media through Jellyfin, and maybe some Nextcloud functionality. I prefer to use containers, but something like TrueNAS’ extensions/plugins sound good as well. This is my first server, so I don’t know what to choose. My possible options are:...

From your list, I would go with Debian. Fedora is amazing but doesn’t have LTS, so you’ll need to update it manually quite often. You can use a script for automatic updates, but I rarely had it working smoothly. Ubuntu is just a joke with repository hell. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but grandma or a child for the desktop, because of its simplicity. TrueNAS never tried…🤷

I would also look into Alpine and some Arch-based distros.

And yes, use containers, this will save you time eventually.

The only real requirement you have for the Jellyfin server is ffmpeg… But this thing runs everywhere

Even France is there

I bought their subscription just to watch it… A month after they decided to remove it. It was the main reason for me to set up my home media server with torrent. They’ve got what they wanted, I pay pirates instead of then

Oh man, you have some serious AI here!

I’ve just finished my setup with Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent and nzb360. I’ve paid 120€ for proton vpn for 2 years, 200€ for m2 ssd for 4tb and a few bucks for domain to access my setup from anywhere. Also, I have a 1gb internet connection for 65€ pm…

So, I’m willing to pay… I don’t want to spend all this time configuring scripts and integrations(though it was fun 😁)… But paying for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and not being able to watch everything I want, simply makes me angry and miserable.

Duck them all. Arrrrr

8tomat8 ,

Is it done SaaS or do you have your private setup? Also what about the speed? I stream 20gb files over wi-fi and can experience issues with stream lag time to time

8tomat8 ,

Well… it is a quote powerful wifi6 device and I get problems only with files 30gb+. My question was mostly about the internet connection affect in this case

8tomat8 ,

Are you living in the US by any chance?

BoJack, is it you?
