Airsonic Advanced and DSUB on Android are pretty good options since DSUB has advanced local caching options.

I aquire my music then run it through Picard for tagging which places it into my NAS where it is mounted to airsonic and jellyfin containers for consumption.

The jellyfin apps have gotten a lot better and I find myself using feishin and finamp more often lately.

This is only possible if you get your phone from the carrier, right? They wouldn’t be able to differentiate if you were using an unlocked phone you got from Google or Amazon?

Lenovo X1 carbon is what you are looking for. I got one (10th Gen) and slapped fedora on it and it’s been absolutely awesome.

Battery life could be better, but I haven’t tweaked it.

Good luck finding a quality new laptop with Linux support that also has a rj45 port. Framework might be an option though. But I just use a gigabit Ethernet usb3 adapter and it works fine

I don’t disagree with the sentiment here, the world is fucked and unchecked crony capitalism is the problem. The rich get richer and the rest of us barely get by. Also fuck Huffman for ruining the only social media platform I’d used consistently for over a decade.

That said, Huffman’s salary is not even close to the number reported here. He makes something like $350k in a year (still a wildly high salary, no one person needs to make that much in a single year!), this “compensation” is closely tied to his equity in Reddit and it’s predicted value when the company goes public.

Most CEOs are compensated in this way and I think it’s not exactly a bad way to do it (partially for employees but mostly for investors). This value is tied to performance, so if the CEO does stupid shit and ruins the company, it directly affects his compensation. This can be a good thing if that CEO makes good business decisions, which can lead to more jobs and more stability for the workers. I realize this is not always the case, but that’s the general idea.

It still sucks, and I still think no individual should make more money than is needed to live comfortably, but it’s not like he’s raking in 193 million every year like it seems from this tweet.

I’m not sure I would want my ip address being tied to the activity of a large amount of strangers who want to hide their IP address. Seems like a good way to get a visit from the friendly neighborhood black van.

We are the same. Piracy has been my longest running hobby, and now I self host all the stuff that pirates for me. I use docker containers running on my Ubuntu server.

Also games, especially retro handhelds.

Nice to see someone out there with such similar interests! 🤜🤛

A large format (12 inch) tablet running Linux with stylus and external monitor support

I buy some physical books, but mostly either borrow from the library or for some rare stuff I aquire backup copies from various places online.

If there is a graphical element to a book, like an atlas, or even books like “House Of Leaves” or “pallbearers club” where the ebook is inferior due to the formatting and typesetting, I’ll buy the physical copy.

Recently I’ve been buying really premium versions of books I reread like the deluxe slipcase of LotR and other tolkien stuff (histories box set is next on my list) and the Akira box set. These are things I read every couple of years so I just like to have and hold the really nice stuff.

I also usually like to get physical copies of RPG books because it’s faster to use at the table and I don’t get distracted by a tablet. The physical version of Mork Borg (and feretory + heretic) is in itself a work of art.

Cool. Cool cool cool. Glad we’ve got this turd as speaker 🫠

A bunch of ai garbage and also some ads please! Maybe collect info about me and sell it to marketing corporations while you’re there.

100% if that country is in northern Europe. Hard nope if it’s in South America.

I’d buy a ticket tomorrow if there was a job for me in a Scandinavian country and I didn’t need to speak the language immediately.

Is there a tracker that gets most switch games? I used to use nsw2u, but lately most games area direct DL and not torrent. IPThads some of the games, but many of the ones I’m looking for are missing.

I love my x1 from lenovo. No bloat at all and excellent customer service. I broke a USB port and they sent a guy to my house to fix it.

But fuck it, let’s all just return to the office anyways. Amirite? SMH

Fuck yes. This!

God damn this is the most real thing I’ve read in years.

So for a cheat code, check out “ansible-nas” on github. It will do all the heavy lifting for you.

I would not recommend swapping out major components without doing a new install. Linux installation is quite simple these days, so back up your configs and put them in place in the new installation.

If you run things in containers, these kinds of issues are not as relevant. You can run jellyfin in docker the same on any host and pass the GPU through for xcoding.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s enough info to answer your question specifically.

Love that channel! I bought some of his prints and 2 of his shirts from his shop. Pretty affordable vs many other YouTube artists!

I’m not doing links because I’m lazy, but I watch a lot of YouTube and these are my favorites:

Ordinary Things - funny smarmy British dude explains ordinary things. Once a month or so, very high effort stuff.

That Chapter - funny sarcastic Irish guy explains true crime things. Twice a week on a good week. Also high effort research

Internet Comment Etiquette - this is not for you. Don’t watch it. You’ve been warned.

LGR - the best legacy youtuber talks about the best legacy tech.

Patrick Willems - funny American guy explains movie stuff.

The Crafsman Steady Craftin - funny puppet man does crafts. This is the most high effort channel on YouTube.
