  • What do you hate about linux?

    Jump

  • I've got a bunch of old dvds and bluerays I'm ripping to my NAS. Automatic Ripping Machine works great... when it works. I've given up and now I'm using VLC.

  • What are some cool things to put on a 32gb flashdrive?

    Jump

  • Ventoy? Linux live iso files aren't too big less than 5Gb each. You could toss on a handful of utilities like memcheck, clonezilla, and a hdd eraser. Then a few isos of distros you want to try. Adding and removing isos is a breeze with ventoy.

  • I recently began hating devices and how each distro does it slightly differently. /dev is the worst. I plug in a usb, look for it under /dev/usb, not there, oh it's /dev/serial I suppose that makes sense. Plug in a different usb, not in either, no by-path or by-id, oh, I can only find it by the bus... but that path changes each time I plug it in, and that's the only place I can find it. Permissions are black magic on devices. I've been root and can't open a cdrom, get permission denied. Other times I can give a user 777 and it seems like they have it all, but still can't open that drive. Everytime I reboot my coral usb changes bus paths and breaks my frigate docker, but I can't find any stable path to it. Fought for days trying to get proxmox to forward a cdrom drive to a container then a vm. Went through half a dozen tutorials and threads of people getting it working and I couldn't. Spin up my laptop and do it bare metal, and STILL can't get it to work. VLC can play the disk just fine, but not the docker container. Switch to ubuntu instead of my arch distro, and boom everything works.... most of the time. Other times I have to do a ritual of removing the database, logs, reboot, start the container, unplug usb, plug in usb, and then it works.

  • Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified

  • Ugh, how could I forget?

  • I want to see a seamless roaming standard so a grandma can buy a random brand's wifi extender, plug it in, connect it to her ISP router's wifi and have the same ssid through the house. No needing to jump to NANA-SWIFI-EXT.

  • Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery

    Jump

  • I would happily dedicate a corner of my garage for a big sodium ion battery.

    Also, fun fact they can charge and discharge faster than lithium ion. Also, their chemistry doesn't lead to spontaneous combustion. Perfect for a house backup.

  • Freedom To Buy: GOG NSFW Giveaway.

    Jump

  • Plenty of these games are awesome and not NSFW. Diablo 1, warcraft 1 & 2, several ultima games, elder scrolls 2 & arena, styx, etc.

  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Terrible game honestly

    • Use Random New Ability once and only once
    • Skip Cutscene

    It plays more like a visual novel than the kind of games I typically like.

  • How can I create a joke Linux Distro similar to what Hannah Montana Linux was?

    Jump

  • Back in college we had a project that was this. Most of us used Linux From Scratch, a few of us used gentoo, having played with arch since, you could use that too.

  • Server access from China

    Jump

  • From what I've read if you use a VPN it's pretty simple to get past the great firewall of china. It's also only technically illegal, and not really punished.

  • 6G mobile could divide the world

  • 6G mobile could divide the world

    Jump

  • Tldr: different countries wanna do 6g differently. Actually a big problem is the big beautiful bill that just passed in the US. Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off. But it's already a global standard. If us cell cariers buy it up and use it to make faster 6g cell speeds (short distance very high speed). That's going to fragment standards globally.

    Cell carriers don't currently use anywhere near all their spectrum they already own.

  • Is there anything torrent-like, decentralized way of finding new stuff ?

    Jump

  • Jellyseer will kinda do that. But only for tv/movies in your jellyfin library.

  • Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box

    Jump

  • I have had several firetvs which I really can't recommend anymore. I don't mind roku with jellyfin client and an adblocker like pihole except the garbage "daily trivia" options that pop up on the sidebar that you have to hide once a week is annoying. Currently use an Nvidia shield with a custom launcher isn't a terrible experience, except for the fact that I have to reboot it all the time because it's glitchy as shit and it was overpriced.

    I'm tempted to next try the NUC with that fancy KDE big picture mode I saw get a facelift recently.

    Oh, and tried one of those virus ridden chineese android boxes. Also do not recommend.

  • Sonarr - How to troubleshoot fake downloads

    Jump

  • Not every download client supports blocking filetypes. Here's how I solved it:

    You can add cleanuperr to your *.arr stack. It will listen to your queues and if something gets stuck, like .arj files, it'll remove them, blocklist them, and maybe re-search? I'm not sure.

    You can also change your settings in sonarr to not do any rss sync searches with your public indexers. This stops sonarr from seaching those indexers automatically for the next release. I've notices most of that garbage pops up before the official release, then gets drowned out by the real stuff after the release. If you leave the auto/interactive search enabled, you can just click the auto search button for the episode the day after it comes out. You likely won't pick up any garbage this way.

    I wrote a script that spam reports these, and I run it when I'm feeling frustrated with a something, but nothing I've spam reported with the script has gotten taken down yet. So, that sucks too.

  • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • Hello

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • Home Assistant? Maybe a homepage like Heimdall or some other dashboard? Maybe Uptime Kuma to notify you when your services go down? Definately a pihole or adguard home. Biggest quality of life improvement. It's the biggest thing my wife notices and approves of. She audibly groans in disgust when she leaves the LAN on her cellphone and sees all the ads and garbage that had previously been blocked. My pihole dashboard show 70% of the requests are blocked on my LAN. And everything works great.

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • Garuda - all the benefits of arch with an easy installer. And it's prettier (in my opinion) than EndeavorOS. Gaming is pretty great.
