I think a Steam Deck is a better buy. It’s a little more pricy sure, but a lot more powerful and a LOT more games to pick from. And it docks great, I mostly play docked to my TV


Third Secretlab, it’s still pricy but far more affordable than HM, has all the lumbar support, and whilst it looks gamer-y it lacks the awful shoulders that makes it bad for you so it’s actually comfortable.

I had to WFH at my parents for 1 day the other week, couldn’t believe how bad my back pain got from 1 day in a crappy office chair. Their support was good too, my magnet head rest kept falling down so they sent me a brand new one



Lemmy.world sucks, it’s constantly down and they block communities people want to federate with, and leave communities federated people want blocked.


Firestick 4K is a cheap yet beasty device, and being Android you can install third party apps easily.

Plex/JellyFin, Kodi, Stremio. No need to spend so much on an AppleTV when the firestick is more than enough.

Also apps like SmartTubeNext and SoundTV.


I email ePubs to my kindle, I’m told Amazon automatically converts them, I’ve had 0 issues.

But calibre can convert them anyway.




Totally. My setup is on a NUC8i5BEH.

Handles 4K Plex like a dream, all the *arrs, multiple website services. I have about 50 or so containers and it doesn’t get close to full CPU usage.


Your best bet is finding the movie and subtitles seperatly. You can even automate finding subtitles with https://www.bazarr.media/



Yeah, 300-350MB h265 is great for anime. The 1GB+ are fine and all, but I’d rather save storage space.


I started on PiHole, but when I found AdGuard Home I tried it and it’s so much better. My group chat that self hosts ended up swapping too.

The interface is so much cleaner and easier to use, anecdotally it’s so much more reliable. And have more features built in from the get go.

Plus you can edit it without having to refresh Gravity like in PiHole. Nothing major but it saves me a few seconds of time.


I run everything in containers, so I rsync my entire docker directory to my NAS, which in turn backs it up to the cloud.


Yes, but I prioritise hard drive space over quality. There’s occasionally artifacting and whatnot, but I don’t have the space to download everything in super high quality.


I’d like to have the hard drive space for x264, but as I don’t I prioritise 265. If I do download 264 I then use tdarr to convert it to 265 myself.


I was using Jerboa, but recently moved to Thunder and enjoying it a lot more.

Although the Reddit Sync app Dev said he’s going to make Sync for Lemmy, so I’ll swap to that once it’s released.



Back in the day I used to just keep 2-3 fully charged spare batteries if I went out. No need for a battery pack to recharge if I can just quickly swap battery and get a days worth of charge instantly.


Finally got round to starting DDLC on my Steam Deck. Not too far in but I’m excited for it to get weird
