The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, PS5 controllers have the same issue. Slightly cheaper, but same exact shitty parts for the joystick. Going to try aftermarket (with serviceable parts) for my next one.

I don’t torrent much, but my NZB and torrent clients both get throttled on a schedule. I have no need for my automations to go fast or fill up my NAS overnight (slight hyperbole but I do often get 50MB/sec on well-hosted downloads, which is not sustainable in terms of storage cost.)

I pause during the day for work, low throttle (500KB/s) during non-work hours in morning and evening, and at night once we’re asleep a moderate cap (5MB/sec. ) I also have some mild traffic shaping QoS on the router so the kids streaming won’t affect my Zoom meetings, for example.

Things added manually go straight to the top of the queue, and sometimes I’ll un-throttle for a particular download that I’m waiting for.

Sure, but not all readers of the thread will be familiar.

I assume because Bitcoin has a public ledger and Monero doesn’t. Its more than that, but that’s the gist. Monero literally exists to offer additional privacy over Bitcoin.

No idea about those VPNs in particular, but I assume its a similar privacy issue, such as keeping logs…

That’s been going on since Blockbuster was a growth company. Like 20 years ago, for the TV (or maybe DVD, I forget which) release of Get Shorty, they 'shopped in an Oldsmobile Sillouette minivan as a product placement, replacing the original vehicle.

“Its the Cadillac of minivans.”

edit: Actually, the Olds was the one in the theatrical release, which got replaced with another make/model for TV. All the releases I can find so far include the Sillouette.

Sorry, best we can do is some unrelated ASCII art.

Big hello-fellow-kids energy.

My little B&W Brother laser printer (‘laser jet’ is an HP marketing term) is awesome. Its been a workhorse for over a decade with zero problems.

That’s a super tenuous connection. Having their name listed as a partner of a cyber alliance doesnt mean much.

Quad9 is entirely subject to Swiss privacy law, and the Swiss government extends that protection of the law to Quad9’s users throughout the world, regardless of citizenship or country of residence

They are not at all subject to City of London laws.

Got anything concrete or…?

Then don’t use the docker? I have had good luck with the standalone on my own server, as well as the .ova they provide (on proxmox.)

I probably ought to try the snap again but last time I tried, it for borked.

I use Joplin (hosted on my home Nextcloud server) and its very good, so far. I haven’t had it long. Nextcloud also has a native Notes app that is decent but not very featureful. Joplin works well for me, as I already had a Nextcloud instance.

• Pihole

• Sonarr

• Radarr

• Lidarr

• Notifiarr

• Sabzbd

• Nicotine+

• Kodi

• Plex

• Airsonic

• Nextcloud

• Joplin

• qbittorrent

Currently split between VMs and physicals. I’m refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.

Adding:

• proxmox

• podman/portainer

• unbound

• ngnx proxy mgr

• Solid server

• homepage

• matrix

• searxng

• some sort of mail stack, TBD

Github probably won’t shoot themselves their userbase in the dick quite as spectacularly as Sourceforge did, though.

An organ is just a collection of tissues. So yes, the brain is one such.

not with that attitude

Many pirates will pay for newsgroup access. People also pay for hard drive space, power for servers, hardware, etc. Pirating doesn’t mean people are never paying for anything. That said, I won’t pay for subtitles. I’ll just wait til the community figures something else out.

I’ve gotten some from Newegg that were only wrapped in bubble wrap.

You got the VIP treatment! I swore off NewEgg for 20 years because they packed 1200 CD-RWs poorly, which caused the product to be mostly ruined by jostling around in the box. They wanted me to pay return shipping or no refund at all for the useless product.

Good to hear they haven’t changed the shipping department.

Not everyone has to, though. I use one instance for a wide variety of resolutions, depending on the show and consumption model; including 360,480,720,1080, 2160 (HDR/10-bit). But I run Plex on a box with quicksync that is doing my transcoding for me.

So why have you chosen to run different instances?

Not sure about OP. Altice/Suddenlink doesn’t let you have access. The garbage modem/router/wifi combo they send out is locked down and they won’t give you access to the admin interface. Shitty comoany.

Okay. OP still shouldn’t use it for sharing media.

Have you looked at the size of most apps recently? 350mb is slightly on the big side, but nothing crazy.

Most guides are for the initial setup, so if you are not starting from scratch, YMMV.

This is the one that put me on the right track, but it’s for older version of Ubuntu, so it’s not exact step-by-step because it’s old.

https://bayton.org/docs/nextcloud/installing-nextcloud-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-with-redis-apcu-ssl-apache/

A more updated guide to the same basic setup, but i’ve never used it so I can’t vouch for whether it is accurate:

https://www.knthost.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-memory-caching-with-apcu-and-redis

(edit: I just checked and it is accurate, but it just hand-waves away the redis setup. which is not insignificant)

Here is the NC docs page.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/caching_configuration.html

Note: If you are short on RAM or want the simpler version for home/lan use, you can just set up APCu and get a decent performance boost. I got better performance with both: APCu for file locking along with redis for memcaching. But setting up both will be a bit more complicated to setup and maintain.

Six months ago, I was exactly where you are, but updating host OS, then updating Nextcloud to 27, and setting up memcaching worked great for me. Get everything updated before doing the setup, though, or you’ll break shit and have to troubleshoot.

It can be slow out of the box, but if you set up locking/memcaching (I use APCu+redis), it’s way faster.

I get not wanting to mess with it though. I was at that point until I got more free time. Now I have mine running smoothly, but I had to put in maybe 10 hours to iron out all the things, although that includes upgrading the host OS because it had gotten old. If I had a full time job, I’d probably just pay for a fully hosted NC.

It’s easy to install a different launcher. I’ve literally never seen an ad on my Shield…And the ads are the fault of Google TV, not the Shield.

My issues with the Shield are mostly the cost and then killing software features.

Same experience with darktable. It seems to do the basics, but the workflow is just so much more cumbersome.

Same. Back when most of us adopted it, Plex was really the only game in town of you wanted a wife and kids friendly setup.

A new shield is quite expensive… The Onn Google TV device from Walmart is $30 and does substantially the same things for most users. Or a Roku (whatever they call the cheap version) is pretty adequate if you’re not into the Google TV/android thing.

I mean… emby or jellyfin would be a better replacement for Plex.

But why not those? I bought a lifetime Plex Pass for $30 or something ages ago when the competition was garbage, so I already have a smoothly working setup for Plex. No reason to force my kids, their grandparents, etc, to a new interface for very little upside. Plex just works. I have tried the others and they’re okay, but nothing compelling enough to force the change.

you answered your own question.

One day of using lemmy and I realized that what I hate about reddit isn’t (only) the corporation that runs it, it’s the fucking obnoxious people. And … who is on Lemmy? The same people. It’s a vicious cycle.

I just use Firefox Nightly and whatever add-ons I need.

There will have to be a better solution to the cat and mouse game than just ublock filters. YouTube can change the pop-up faster than people can (easily) keep up. I got to watch one video but the next time I wanted to watch something, it didn’t work again.

Looking at you, Brave.
