Dude I wish USA had this.

If I’m going for Ryzen 8 core first Gen, can I find that in a dell optiplex or Lenovo thinkstation? Or should I search something else?

I could get by with 2 HD bays – it is more because I would like to use RAID if possible, and have an easier time to upgrade to larger capabilities as time goes on.

I’ve also just appreciated larger cases with more room – with small cases sometimes it’s hard to work in there.

Internal redundancy would be nice to have with a file server, but probably not necessary if I can have redundancy with regular backups instead.

Thanks for the ideas!

The only XMPP I ever knew how to use was Gmail Chat, and they shuttered it, so I don’t know how to use XMPP anymore or how to talk to anyone on it.

Signal is just easier.

I’ve never seen it before – ty stranger :)

Cool, so this puts yt-dlp on Kodi and downloads videos before watching them. Hopefully this works better for older hardware than the YouTube plugin, which I think has to use more computationally expensive methods to stream from YouTube directly with the cat and mouse game between yt and them.

Do you know, does it keep the video files it downloads, or does it delete them automatically?

How do you get sponsorblock to integrate? You’re talking about anxdpanic’s YouTube addon right? https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases

I think maybe YouTube a/b tests us so it works better for some people. For me it often crashes, I assume due to overheating on my raspi 4.

YouTube support is unfortunately spotty, via the YouTube addon that they are in a constant cat and mouse game with Google. It often makes my pi overheat because of the nonsense it has to do.

I wish libreelec could launch a browser with Firefox, ublock, and sponsorblock

Damn that’s a bad joke

I’m curious if Meta could do this with their apps, can other apps do something similar?

Is this the same as BtrFS?

Link? Edit: I’m dumb.

I was initially very concerned that you were trying to install a 13+ year old version of Ubuntu, 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). Now I just feel old.

It seems reasonable until the very end where they are supporting the fascist party., and it’s not even accurate. Republicans are absolutely not regulating tech. At least Democrats had Lina Kahn, who the Republicans fired.

When one political party is conservative and the other one is literally authoritarian I have zero sympathy for anyone supporting them.

Supporting his choices and the Republican party at large is the problematic part. I don’t care if he loves Trump or not.

“Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills fora vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”

Disagree, it completely reads as a tweet supporting trump, and the “official response” that was later contracted by a more moderate official response definitely felt like a rant.

I’ve been watching Proton since then and they’ve very much backed away from the ceo’s pro-Trump pro-Republican position, so I’ve continued to use their services, but mostly because I’ve already invested time and money into using them. But they lost my trust and I have not recommended them in the same way I used it before this happened.

I do not perfectly manage my email inbox, and I’ve become absolutely dependent on their automatic Priority / Updates / Promotions etc. Classifications, as well as their features that surface important emails, or things you might want to respond to that you forgot…

Like most things, it’s not so black and white as Louis paints it. What products you buy and use absolutely is a political choice, but perfection isn’t the goal. No one has to be a “perfect” consumer to avoid the low hanging fruit like Chick-fil-A or today’s Tesla if those are important issues to you.

I wish I could find episode 4 of jandrewedits to post here but they’ve been disappearing… https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEHOdH4QhcF1kgZo8nYz9zJUvoNfn_Hry
