I couldn't figure out watchtower. I just made a script to pull and restart and scheduled it to run daily at midnight.

One of the gen 9 pokemon games. I think violet?

I was out with my wife's family coordinating with my brother by text trying to get it downloaded.

ITT: People who don't know as much as me.

All they killed was the branding. The Chromecast with Google TV was such a far cry from an OG Chromecast that it was stupid for them to have the same name.

OG Chromecast could only cast and did not have a remote. The CCwGT did still support casting, but also had a remote and a real UI.

The TV streamer is just the CCwGT in a fancy shell with probably a more powerful processor. I'll bet money that it still supports casting, and can only do pretty much exactly what the CCwGT could do.

You can install LineageOS on one of the models of Chromecast for Android TV.

It did email really well. And it had the best VPN. Didn't like the calendar or drive Didn't touch the password manager.

As a userbase grows, companies have 2 options to make it more competitive.

More services Lower prices

And no company chooses the later.

And that's how you get bloat

Drop a link to a few places people ask tech questions and I will do my part to contribute

I stopped using Brave when and because of crypto bs.

I stopped using proton a few months ago because the price was just too high and my need too small. I needed a reasonably priced family plan for email on my domain, not another cloud drive.

I think this decision will hurt them as others come to this conclusion

For sure.

At some point, your services could easily warrent it. If you learn it early, it makes it much easier to organize your services and share them with others if you decide to.

Also, if you do decide to use a domain name, you probably won't be able to use it internally to your network. If you use Adguard, you can use DNS rewrite to only direct your traffic to your server when you're in your network.

Also, personally, I use nginx, but I'm more than happy to give you any advice on setup or reverse proxy.

 

I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.

Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?

 
 

I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

 

Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now
