Can someone explain why this would be even slightly useful to anyone?

How does one type without a and z?

It works great for a closed group of people, all on one instance. Another data point that federation is hard.

For me, switching from chrone to ff around 3 years it felt the opposite. Ff opens so much faster. Also scrolling is way smoother.

Woah, you are old. I use nixos btw

Giving them access to Jellyfin is not fully "copying" a movie, it is just access to streaming (they can download, but that's on them).

Overall, this makes little sense anymore and I feel that limiting data sharing is hard to conceptualize, let alone prevent with regulation.

All responses are saying "it is illegal". But is it more illegal than pirating a movie for yourself only? Would it still be illegal if you would have paid for the movie? In that case it seems like lending the dvd to a friend...

Can you expand on this wild claim? The whole point of containers is isolation so what you are saying is that containers fail at that all the time?

I wouldn't say that Linux & Gimp are objectively better, but they sure are better in the long run, since you plop "gimp" into a nix configuration and never have to deal with installation and cracking.

I use rathole for this purpose. Works great, minimal, great performance.

My house was built in 1939. Initial installation of ecectric cables consisted of a wire in a sleeve filled over with concrete. That was all replaced with proper tubing and isolation, but these few outlets do not have ground.

 

I know that the answer is yes, I should, but outlets near the setup are not grounded (even though they look like they are) and I don't want to have wires running though my living room.

The real question is what are potential problems ? Occasional system reboots? Permanent damage to PSU? Permanent damage to other components?

What's DRM in this context? Surely linux kernel doesn't do digital rights management?

I use planka, which feels exactly like what trello used to feel: fast & simple. It does not have an app though.

 

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?
