few days late here, but that pastebin had some really good feeds πŸ™ I noticed the OPML file was labeled FreshRSS and I also use FreshRSS. So I fixed up the feeds and configured FreshRSS to scrape the full articles (when possible) and bypass ads, tracking and paywalls.

I figured I'd pay it forward by sharing my revised OPML file.

I also included some of my other feeds that are related (if you or anyone else is interested).

Some of the feeds are created from scratch since a few if these sites don't offer RSS, so if the sites change their layout the configs may need to be adjusted a bit, but in my experience this rarely happens.

I had to replace some of the urls with publicly hosted versions of the front-ends I host locally and scrape, but feel free to change it up however you like.

as far as subtitles go, I've had good luck with Bazarr:

Dell offers their Precision lineup of laptops with an option to ship with Linux (ubuntu) instead of Windows. As far as mainstream, enterprise support and driver updates go, you can't get any bigger than Dell. Lots of good deals to be had on eBay for these machines too, they're built like tanks and driver issues are never a thing.

something like 95% stays local and is remote accessed via wireguard, The rest is stuff I need to host via a hostname with a trusted cert because apps I use require that or if I need to share links to files for work, school etc. For the external stuff I use Cloudflare tunnels just because I use DDNS and want to avoid/can't use port forwarding. works well for me.

oh overclocking is still a thing, I do that on my desktop, fan curves can be handled in the bios/uefi. I like good quality higher rpm fans for even desktop use because even at lower speeds they still push a ton of air and are a lot quieter than the cheaper fans on the market. still not absolutely silent, but they don't bother me. That's what headphones are for haha

fair enough, this is my strategy for desktop builds. Big fan of BeQuiet and Noctua, but I've heard good things of Artic as well

I hate that there is such a discrepancy between the amount of Linux server implementation and desktop usage. I'm hopeful for the future though, I've been noticing Linux has been getting more attention.

thanks, I'll check out photoGIMP. been trying desperately to make GIMP work as I wanna ditch Windows before they stop supporting 10, sooner if I can. I made the switch on everything else already.

For work I heavily rely on the Adobe creative suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro specifically). I maintain Linux servers (and develop for them) and maintain Linux desktops at both home and for work, but the lack of any alternatives to Photoshop specifically has resulted in me still daily driving Windows (VMs really hamper workflow with regards to GPU passthrough and although I've successfully set up Looking Glass on my workstation in the past, running 2 gpus isn't practical). Yes I've tried the alternatives and while Premiere Pro has usable alternatives, Photoshop does not. GIMP is incredible given that it is FOSS but the UI and feature set is almost unusable (for me at least).

oh definitley. I usually use 140mm when possible, but they’re harder to find on the cheap in the brushless offerings on eBay. My switches (all 1U) are a different story noise wise, but it is what it is.

 

Been running San Ace 120x38mm 0.8A fans for a few weeks now and have been super happy (they're not silent but that's fine since they're sitting in the furnace/HVAC closet in the basement). Just wondering if buying them 2nd hand was a smart move or not. The particular ones I got are rated for 70,000 hours of use and they were in good shape, but I've been wondering if anyone has had any die on them before, and if so after how long?
