  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • CableMatters 102101

    And on Amazon; don't think it's widely available anywhere else, unfortunately.

    Ignore any commentary about Windows support, because unless something has changed recently, it has poor support on Windows and is missing most features. I have heard mixed things about whether it only supports Freesync on Linux rather than Freesync or VRR. Since my TV supports both and there doesn't appear to be a way to reliably differentiate between the two, I can't confirm either way.

  • I have one working from cablematters. It's slightly finicky (maybe driver issues) but supports HDR, vrr, and 4k@120hz.

  • The Newsom donors missing from Prop 50

    Jump

  • Prop 50 is going to pass comfortably so if anything this shows how little power these donors actually have. And I can see why individual donors don't want to tie their name to a gerrymandering bill, even if it's the right thing to do given the state of things.

  • I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against.

    Jump

  • yes but why would you?

    Mainly because you're required to use their distribution, or to build on Debian, which is not to everyone's liking.

    Of course that's an argument against proxmox, and not virt-manager and the like.

  • Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing?

    Jump

  • Primary goal: Navidrome as server combined with a VPN (tailscale is probably the easiest to setup but not technically self-hosted). Clients can be any that support the subsonic protocol. I personally use dsub2000 (android) + supersonic (Linux) but there are others. I'd start by testing it on your LAN to see if it's workable.

    Secondary goal: if you can get all 12 people to install Tailscale on all relevant devices then you can continue to use that. If not, you'll need to host navidrome (or an alternative) publically preferably with a reverse proxy for better security. You could alternatively try Tailscale funnel or some cloudflare solution to host navidrome.

  • Gadgetbridge data dashboard

    Jump

  • There's also endurain but it doesn't support gadget bridge integration yet (gadgetbridge needs to solve it on their end).

  • Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing?

    Jump

  • You sound like you want something more like navidrome which is closer to a private Spotify whereas Funkwhale is closer to a public social platform like Lemmy or Mastodon where you share music and follow others (or a little like a free bandcamp).

    You still need to solve the public access problem either way, however, as others have talked about.

  • TrueCrypt, what really happened?

    Jump

  • It was forked to veracrypt from memory. And LUKS was already widely available on Linux as alternative.

  • Can Linux save this tiny laptop from 2010

    Jump

  • This stream at least looks to be h264 only, which is more likely to be hardware decodable with older hardware than the vp9/av1 that Youtube usually uses.

  • Corporate Democrats Falsely Claim Medicare for All Is 'Unpopular' | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • This is also one of those policies where, even if it is something that is not universally popular at first, becomes so once it is entrenched. In Australia there was an ongoing battle with it but once it was embedded in society, it became political suicide to roll it back (although the conservatives have chipped away at it with some success).

    So the lesson is to just do the thing because it is obviously superior to the alternatives, and it will become popular quite quickly.

  • There's always plenty of money in the banana pillow stand.

  • Tempus v4.0.7 android subsonic client release

    Jump

  • Some subsonic clients also support Jellyfin servers, so that could be a useful addition here (although I'm happy with Navidrome myself).

  • Donald Trump got mad at the TV, so now stuff costs more

    Jump

  • And there were multiple other trials pending that were only abandoned because he was elected.

  • Dismissing Concerns of US Farmers, Trump Claims Argentina 'Dying' to Justify $40 Billion Bailout

    Jump

  • It's funny how badly it fell apart after glowing coverage from the American media earlier talking about how well it worked.

  • Trump is preparing a coup — the evidence is clear if you know where to look

    Jump

  • There might be an "open in browser" option that can workaround issues like this.

  • Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

    Jump

  • Perplexity is okay with more academic topics at the least, albeit pretty shallow (usually isn't that different to google). There might be a policy not to include encyclopedias, but it would be an improvement over SEO garbage for sure.

  • What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

    Jump

  • They tend to have free wifi too so are somewhat useful.
