Duck names have to stick together

Interesting! I wonder if the Eternity client doesn't show that? I have never noticed it at least. I am also in the habit of never looking at names though. Maybe it is good to be in the habit of remembering names because it humanizes the people on the other end or so?
I gotta get back into that and stardew! Thanks for reminding me! My switch has been in storage since I moved
Eh, it is a con when there are problems, service problems, bugs, etc...
My instance have had a few of them and for a while our 1 admin was unavailable.
It is difficult or impossible to get it resolve because there is no contact point, nobody hired to fix issues that need immediate triage, etc... which can result in longer outages or bugs on specific instances.
I'm not complaining. This is a fantastic service that is being offered completely free from actual altruistic incentives, unlike corporations. There are a few downsides though.
Yeah, for cars, energy density is the name of the game. We honestly don't need more output power and Tesla is not one to care about safety lol.
But indeed for grid storage, those chemistries are much more useful where energy density is less critical.
I did for.the last year and a half. It has yet to block a single sponsor while the Firefox sponsorblock works fine lol.
It also, for the past few weeks, now has a "report problem" banner at the start of every video. Might look at an alternative.
For desktop, Firefox + ublock origin has yet to have me see a single ad.
Well to be fair, subtitles are often messed up on the open source one, but OH BOY you haven't seen the state of Belgian streaming apps.
Casting doesn't work on most, subtitles only work on 1/3 with some reality shows having burned in subs, tapping the screen in logical places to play/pause doesn't work (like the giant play button in the middle of the screen when paused), one of them literally doesn't even have a search function.
Ads are ridiculous, 10+ ads every 10 minutes. Not to mention that if you scrub at all instead of just forward/back, automatic ad break plays. Recently played just stopped being broken and giving wrong episodes. It is an absolute mess.
Get rid of the cable and add heat
The problem with adding high bandwidth wifi is that it adds quite a bit of heat to a device. That's why high bandwidth wifi 6e devices and 10 gigabit Ethernet devices get quite warm. Many cameras already have a lot of heat problems because video sensors and processing already generates quite a bit of heat. Wireless always generates more heat than wired due to much higher amplification, transmit power, and demodulation requirements.
Tried it, much more... tuned... than jellyfin in this specific area haha. It can grab thumbnails, covers, etc... and do a lot of preview generation. It is quite sophisticated surprisingly!
That is not feasible for many/most people.
Upload speeds of the average person make general internet use while connected to a home VPN much worse. For example, my mobile nework is at least 10x faster than my home network upload speed if I am in a place with 5g. I'd much rather connect to my paid VPN provider where the speed difference is barely noticable.
Not to mention even if people are using a VPS, it might be very far away and severely impact speeds.
Everything you want is definitely possible for the budget.
I used an old I5 laptop with 4GB of RAM for a year or two. If you need a lot of storage, an old HDD will be fine usually. A raspberry pi 4 or 5 will be slower, but would still work, but if Norway prices are anything like belgium, an old I7 laptop sips power and will save money in electric costs
A few tips:
-
Run nextcloud all-in-one or spend some time optimizing nextcloud. It will help performance a lot
-
Unless you are a serious photographer, use Immich, 100%. Immich is a google photos replacement that has a bunch of good user features like accounts and good security and sharing that photoprism just doesn't. Photoprism is really geared towards professional photographers.
-
transmission + wireguard container for a VPN is the way to go ...
-
radarr/sonarr/lidarr & prowlarr are good to use with transmission
Oh wow, thanks!
