I didn't say it was, I'm just answering the dude's question

It's a joke. I think it's a bug or something

This is better than last.fm because it can scrobble your listens up to an hour before you play them.

Some basic questions about Linux in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The official Proton client or Open VPN with Proton credentials?

Some basic questions about Linux in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (6 children)

Great explanation. Quick follow up question.

One thing I necessarily will want to install is Proton VPN*. Per their website,

Our app officially supports the latest stable Ubuntu LTS version running the GNOME desktop environment. It should work on most distributions based on Ubuntu, but we haven’t tested them and therefore do not officially support them.

This makes it sound like it will only work on gnome DE and implies it won't work on Ubuntu with KDE (for example)

*ok, so I'm also aware that you can use Proton VPN through open vpn somehow but for the purposes of my understanding of distribution vs DE, let's just ignore that for now.

I have installed and used Ubuntu in the past. Now I'm exploring a project that uses a raspberry pi and I'm running into terms that I don't know how to distinguish between.

This article is conflating terms that I need help distinguishing between. The other commenter mentioned that Ubuntu is a type of Debian but this article lists Debian and Ubuntu as distributions.

Awesome. Thank you. So I understand why a debian package wouldn't work on Fedora, but are there Kubuntu packages that wouldn't work on Lubuntu? Otherwise is there "Kedora" and "Ludora"?

Some basic questions about Linux (sh.itjust.works)
 

Can someone point me to a helpful beginners resource explaining some Linux basics? Like what is the difference between "distro", which is what, like Ubuntu, fedora, Debian (? Or is that a category of distro?) And desktop environment which is what, KDE, Lubuntu, gnome? Like I don't even know I have these categories right let alone understand why I'd pick one over another and what practical effects it will have- which apps will I/won't I be able to install, etc...

I'm not expecting anyone to answer these questions for me, but if you could point me to something already written, I'd appreciate it.

How to remotely access a Raspberry Pi? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

What OS is it running?

And what about when a service stops or crashes and you can't access through the app or front end? Or updates, either for the OS itself and for all of the services it's running? Do you SSH in every time you need to do any of that?

Go it!

This is shaping up to be a much harder project than I thought

How to remotely access a Raspberry Pi? (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I have a Synology server that I have a good deal of experience with, so this post will be through that lens.

What I'd like to do is set up a Raspberry Pi exclusively for pirating. So Qbittorrent and Proton VPN to get started, later Radarr, Lidarr, etc. I don't think I'll have a problem getting the Pi up and running, but I'd like to run it like my server, tucked away somewhere without a monitor or peripherals.

How do I access it? For my Synology box, I just put in a browser the local ip port 5000 and I have a whole desktop right there. But when I google about how I'd access a Pi, everything points to using SSH. I know a lot of people have Pis set up like this and surely they can't be administering the whole thing through CLI, right? How do I get a similar setup to my Synology such that I can just get a desktop interface in a browser?

How long should I expect a NAS to last? (sh.itjust.works)
 

First off, I'd normally ask this question on a datahoarding forum, but this one is way more active than those and I'm sure there's considerable overlap.

So I have a Synology DS218+ that I got in 2020. So it's a 6 year old model by now but only 4 into its service. There's absolutely no reason to believe it'll start failing anytime soon, and it's completely reliable. I'm just succession planning.

I'm looking forward to my next NAS, wondering if I should get the new version of the same model again (whenever that is) or expand to a 4 bay.

The drives are 14 TB shucked easy stores, for what it's worth, and not even half full.

What are your thoughts?

Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there's some other way to make it work. I don't see why it wouldn't work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.

I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....
