I don’t hate LTT but they are mostly an entertainment channel nowadays, not a review channel.
Their reviews are focused on sponsored products, sometimes wrong and most of the time don’t go into much depth. Not to mention the countless ads, sponsorships and clickbait.
If somebody likes them, more power to them, but I don’t go to LTT when I need information about something.
I can’t speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what’s your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?
I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.
You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.
Sir, this is a /c/selfhosted.
Tesla has a full range of service utilities integrated right in the car (for free) while Hyundai charges you if you want to swap your brake pads.
Do you mean Zigbee in general or the ZBT-2?
In addition to these guys knowing what they are doing and pushing firmware updates straight through Home Assistant, every purchase also supports the Open Home Foundation.
I’m pretty sure you can achieve similar performance with cheaper dongles.
Yes, but that doesn’t help you with the large providers (Gmail, Outlook, …) unfortunately.
I finally moved my mail server from Hetzner to my homelab.
Pretty smooth sailing so far. For now I’m using Scaleway for outgoing mails since I can’t set a PTR record here but I might just try sending a few without PTR to see how other providers react.
Shoutout to EasyEffects, which has a nice UI and can make the worst microphone sound fantastic.
Self-hosting is trivial and everyone can do it.
Exposing services to the internet is not.
Just like everyone doing open heart surgery on dummies is fine, everyone self-hosting in their own network is fine. You can buy hardware right now that connects to power and wifi and you are self-hosting.
You will fail the yearly inspection here if there is too much rust on your brakes.
Also, at some point that rust will cause grooves in your brake rotor and they need to be replaced.
Oh come on, they added guidelines on how AI generated content has to be marked.
The alternative would be people committing their AI generated code anyway and just not telling anyone.
Not sure if it counts as “budget friendly” but the best and cheapest method right now to run decently sized models is a Strix Halo machine like the Bosgame M5 or the Framework Desktop.
Not only does it have 128GB of VRAM/RAM, it sips power at 10W idle and 120W full load.
It can run models like gpt-oss-120b or glm-4.5-air (Q4/Q6) at full context length and even larger models like glm-4.6, qwen3-235b, or minimax-m2 at Q3 quantization.
Running these models is otherwise not currently possible without putting 128GB of RAM in a server mainboard or paying the Nvidia tax to get a RTX 6000 Pro.
That explains things. Non-focused applications cannot read keystrokes on Wayland.
Since Discord is still running in X11, if you are on KDE you can enable one of these options as a workaround:
Hopefully Discord (or a wrapper for it) will eventually get proper global shortcut support, in which case you can set it right in the KDE shortcut settings.
I’m using the Discord Flatpak on Fedora Kinoite (Wayland/KDE) and have no such issue.
and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem.
NTFS now comes with Copilot integrated, automatically placing your files where you will never find them again.
The Matrix server is a normal Signal client that can encrypt/decrypt messages from your account.
Assuming you trust your server, no. I would not use it on a third party Matrix server.
Sure, I got all my Signal/Telegram chats synced to my Matrix server.
That explains why my Matrix <-> Signal bridge was complaining about being disconnected.
The Pi 5 lacks a H264 hardware encoder/decoder, making it unsuitable for most streaming/transcoding purposes.
