Being with people without an activity is weird for a long time, you need to REALLY know them to do that.

Not at the same scale as mobile traffic

Bluetooth by definition doesn’t go much past 10-20 meters

I bought a Venta LW25 and couldn’t be happier. Simple and functional, good old German engineering

Yea, it’s been broken for weeks. You can’t search for new artists at all.

It got sorta fixed a while ago and now I can search for artists, but adding them doesn’t work. Their metadata server crapped out months ago and they’ve been fixing it ever since, should be done soonish. Or not.

Fixed Lidarr: https://github.com/blampe/hearring-aid

And Radarr: https://github.com/blampe/rreading-glasses

Basically they replace the broken closed source metadata server for both with a working one.

The author is also in talks with Readarr to take over the project.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Best 70-ish euro I spent over a decade ago

It tries to do everything.

Think of a thing you want to do in Linux and there is a systemd plugin for it. It’s not the unix way

Every single tool that downloads from YouTube is just a yt-dlp wrapper 😀

But hey, at least universities aren’t woke anymore, right? /s

And on Unraid you can add individual docker containers to the tailnet too.

So you can just go ssh <container> on any device in the Tailnet and it’ll connect

Because I can have 3 phones, 2 tablets, 3 computers and 4 server on the same Tailnet in 15 minutes when starting from scratch

Your tech illiterate grandma can set it up. It’s that easy.

Then you can just go with Tailscale, it’s 100% turnkey and just works. Even better when combined with NextDNS

I have an Arzopa too, works as a second monitor for my laptop when travelling

Also bought a cheap small AliExpress dock for the Switch so I can use it as a display when playing on the go

I’ve been running Jellyfin just for the metadata on the same library as Plex.

If Plex goes full evil at some point, I can just shut it down and switch to Jellyfin.

But for the time being the UX on Plex is so much better I can’t be arsed to switch. Especially since I got my Lifetime Pass like a decade ago for 79€ or something. I’ve got more than my moneys worth for it.

You do know what caused the Hetzner thing?

People were literally farming Plex in there. They bought a 2-4TB server in the auction and installed Plex and a content farm setup to feed it fresh content.

Then they sold access to the server until it was at capacity. GOTO 10

At one point Hetzner went “fuck this” and just banned Plex altogether. We can’t have nice things because some people are dipshits professionally.

This.

I just set up Plex for my mom on her bargain bin cheapo android TV. It had the plex app right there and it’ll play without transcoding.

Can’t do that with Jellyfin.

NixOS doesn’t have a curve, it’s a fucking wall 😆

I don’t want to “just” drag and drop anything, it’s 2025.

I want to have a service that keeps track of what books I have read/listened and what’s my location in them.

Then I can plug into that service on multiple different devices and the state is automatically shared between them. I can pick up any computer with a browser and keep listening where I left the book on my phone.
