  • What do you do with your old iPad mini?

    Jump

  • Hot take, but If it's old and/or no longer useful to you, then I would consider selling or trading it in. Apple products hold value better than a lot of other electronics in the same category and you might as well just take the cash and put it towards other homelab upgrades

  • I used to have a bunch of scattered markdown & txt files containing disparate notes which quickly became unmanageable. Now I run wiki.js (using the linuxserver image) and document everything in there. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done 🤷‍♂️

    GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension

  • Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750

    Jump

  • It's just a matter of time before they convert the "Lifetime Pass" to a subscription. Absolutely nothing prevents them from following the Adobe playbook and declaring that they'll be dropping support/updates for the "lifetime edition". Future feature updates & security fixes will then be gated behind a $29.99 monthly subscription

  • Self-hostable projects that are just for fun?

  • Using the igdb integration with romm is optional and doesn’t overtly degrade the ux

  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Plex is a series C for-profit company and is 100% beholden to its investors who expect a handsome return on investment; the enshittification & price hikes are literally guaranteed to continue. Existing users can, and should expect to be squeezed for profits until they have nothing left to give
