Too long to type, why it can't be .lan

With a free os: indefinitely

With a proprietary os: hope and pray the maker doesn't discontinue it tomorrow

But isn't the "alternatively sourced" a rip from Amazon prime?

But indeed on my Android tv if I use Amazon prime most of times it decides to use 720p with a low bitrate

I tried portainer and it was overkill for my usage, too much overhead and too many features that I don't need.

Right now I'm using ajenti 2, which shows memory and CPU usage for the docker containers in the web page

The problem about the "automatically adjust resolution and bitrate" can be done in two ways:

  1. Using a GPU to transcode the 4k video in real time (generally unavailable on VPS)

  2. Encoding the video in multiple resolutions and bitrates, using much more disk space

Both solutions are expensive on a VPS.

In this case when I need to share stuff in 4k 60 (basically never) I just host on YouTube unlisted and having Google foot the bill. Maybe think like this: the content really deserves to be 4k 60 fps? Home videos that I share with my family are downgraded to 720p as anyway they will watch it horizontal on a vertical screen

I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed "book" full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn't have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent

Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere

If it was worthless they wouldn't put a fucking 4g modem on all of them "for free" and siphoning all the telemetry away

The traffic and compute for this kind of application is very minimal, a cheap server can hold thousands and thousands of users.

It's the cellular connectivity that costs a lot, difficult to imagine that would be less than 50 cents a month

Ah you want to host a name server

That's the hardest thing ever to self host, can't just use the free name server service from the registrar or cloudflare?

IMHO even the most dedicated sysadmin wouldn't even think to self host that

I use technitium but it's like pihole, designed for a few concurrent users in a local network? Instead you want that anyone in the world can use your DNS?

But you would only attract bad actors, normal users won't use a random DNS server as it could redirect specific sites to phishing pages

LOL if it wasn't on the official website I'd have assumed it was a joke.

Would you:

  1. Subscribe to Netflix for watching the first season
  2. Then subscribe to prime video and then subscribe again to a specific channel to watch season 2
  3. Cancel that useless extra subscription to the prime video optional paid channel to watch seasons 3-9
  4. Subscribe again to that channel to watch seasons 10-16
  5. Subscribe to Hulu to watch seasons 17-19
  6. Subscribe to the Roku channel to watch seasons 20-22
  7. Hope that they don't alter the licensing deals during your view or you gonna subscribe to something else

Or... Just click on "get all missing episodes" on sonarr?

I have the feeling it's just a "cover my ass" situation, in this way when they receive legal requests they can redirect them to the trash can

While it's possible that it's developed in Russia because there are so many smart devs and engineers, it would be stupid to actually make the product in a country without the supply chain and they would need to smuggle everything from abroad and back for shipping to the rest of the world. And getting payments from the distributors

IMHO it's actually made in an unnamed Chinese factory and in Russia there's just a shell company (if at all)
