This is really cool. I'm still struggling to find a good replacement for my use case. I almost exclusively watch youtube on my Nvidia Shield on SmartTube with sponsorblock.

I do use Jellyfin already and I see there is a Jellyfin plugin. Do you know if Jellyfin gets sponsorblock information as chapters? That would probably be an okay solution, even if it doesn't automatically skip them.

Yeah, I needed something similar and made a new target that checks whether the system can reach a common website like google

My current setup uses ~180W, which is a lot, but WAY better than my previous one, which was ~600W. Power is cheap where I live, so I'm not too worried about it.

180W homelab:

  • N6005 fanless mini PC running pfsense
  • mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN switch
  • TP-Link AP225 access point
  • Server running proxmox w/ AMD 5900X, RTX 3080, 128GB ECC RAM, LSI-9208i w/2x10TB drives, and dual SFP+ NIC

600W homelab:

  • Aruba 24-port PoE gigabit switch w/ 4xSFP+ ports
  • Dell R720xd fully kitted out w/ 12x 6TB drives, 2x 512GB SSD, 2x 32GB SD cards, 100-something GB RAM, 2x whatever the best CPU was for that unit
  • Dell R710 w/ 6x 6TB drives, 1x 256GB SSD, 100-something GB RAM, 2x whatever the best CPU was for that unit.
  • TP-Link AP225 access point

I loaded NixOS on a 2014 macbook air, copying over my config from my framework laptop (just switching the hardware config), and it just works. I think pretty much any modern linux distro will work fine.

Ah. Sorry for the misunderstanding. FreshRSS uses the Google Reader API to connect with apps, so you could get an RSS app and get notifications through that.

Since you're asking specifically about RSS, I recommend FreshRSS and RSS-Bridge. FreshRSS can filter by keyword to mark things as read automatically, and RSS-Bridge Can help with making RSS feeds for sites that don't have them. FreshRSS can do that, too, but only with XPath. RSS-Bridge has a few more tricks. Also, I recommend checking out Wallabag, a pocket alternative that can output your saved articles as RSS feeds.

Same. It's what drove me away and took me a week of free time to get back up and running on Arch. Manjaro makes me sick now.

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

OpenSUSE -> Ubuntu -> Windows for like a decade -> MacOS -> Arch -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Debian -> NixOS -> Nobara

Currently running NixOS on my laptop, Nobara on my Desktop, and Debian on my VMs under Proxmox.

I'll probably jump from Nobara to Bazzite as soon as I start to have problems.

I'm gradually settling on immutable distros.

It can work on CPU alone, but allows for GPU hardware acceleration.

[–] thejevans@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the Nvidia bug caused me A LOT of headache. I love Debian, but I really only use it as a server OS. On my workstations, I prefer to have easier compatibility with new hardware and software.

I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.

I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.
