If you want to give it a try again, get mpv and yt-dlp installed in your system then activate from Freetube settings the external player button, which you’ll be able to click from search or from a vid page

Fixing something for the first time. From then on I actually own whatever I fixed, and if I need to repeat the same fix it becomes a normal chore. But some things (un)fortunately require many different fixes, so I get to be proud of each one.

The trifecta, that’s immense

That sounds good to me, we use wireguard in the family when out and about to access my homeserver, but I’d love if Jellyfin could create ad-hoc tunnels, it’d make us feel safe enough sharing our libraries with friends, perhaps it will convince many Plex users too. What are funkwhale users doing to share their music for example?

The other commenter wrote about STUN servers (IP), I’ve seen that Syncthing uses them as well, together with discovery and relay servers. Would wireguard be used at any of this stages or standalone? Personally I have no idea, I’m just an observant user 😅

I’m not a security expert but my guts (and the many things I read about this stuff over many years) tell me that cheap highly marketed VPNs like Nord seek the less informed users that sign up because half of their favorite youtubers sent them there, the default M.O. is install the (proprietary) app. It might be possible to use them safely but it’s not what’s happening to 99% of the customers.

They operate in grey legal areas, there are many scandals over the years, they write in their TOS that they can change the terms themselves without notice, if you use their service, you agree at any time.

When I wrote that they do what they want w your network, this is what I’m referring to; idk about the “settings”, more like selling access to your residential line (perhaps to other VPN customers)

I haven’t used Plex in a decade and I use Jellyfin, what you’re describing sounds perfect. I read up a bit on STUN servers and it’s what Syncthing uses, but they also mantain discovery and relay servers (and anyone can host one and can be added to the public list). Security wise they seem to be doing fine?(I’m not an expert, just an informed user)

Idk what combo Jellyfin would benefit the most from; are relay servers needed? The workload is similar but probably higher on average, people stream more often than they do backups

Haha totally, I should have said processed food, it’s the most marketed.

We could also say ultra processed news now that I think about it: statistical data -> random blog article misinterprets the charts -> tweet w people not reading the sources -> screenshot goes around on facebook -> LLM regurgitates it -> TV news anchor says it with a straight face

I understand this but we have to realize that what makes Plex simpler is the fact that they are a network intermediary that does what it wants with your home networks; it’s like insisting that NordVPN is better than Mullvad

IMHO the only solution will be improving wireguard guis and stuff, Jellyfin is not lacking.

And spoonfed news, food…

I like you. I once pretended I’d never seen roman numerals in my life by reading each “letter” on some engraved stone aloud in front of my friends and some strangers, and this woman looked at me horrified :D

Right, so different boards, ssd chips, ram generations, even the displays make a difference since newer panels are more efficient on average. Absolutely inexcusable.

Btw among the W10 devices they even put an Intel “Y”, a cpu with 3.5-7W TDP 😂. I have one of those and it’s the worse computer I ever used, recently revived with CachyOS because thankfully it has the x86v3 instructions (=it’s not too old)

Lol and the one with W11 it’s an Intel Ultra, aka the ones made with the modern lithographies at TSMC (like the AMD Ryzens, Apple Ms, etc)

In addition to the complaint tablet from Nanni, researchers also found several similar tablets in a room of Ea-Nasir’s house. Each of these tablets were from a different buyer, and all listed their frustrations with the business practices of the infamous trader. This shows archaeologists that Ea-Nasir had a frequent trend of fraud and scamming buyers, securing his place as history’s first conman.

Wow. After reading the whole translated letter, he had several! What an assir

My KDE (both 5 and 6, just checked) also uses Meta+L, by default. On my KDE 5 Ctrl+Alt+L appears as custom but I don’t remember adding it, maybe they inverted the two.

Thanks :) here it is. Or search “origami letter”

I was kidding mostly but while travelling (no letters where I was staying) I did recently make, out of basically waste paper, an origami gift card holder I was proud of :) it opens up in the back and you can slide out the card. No tape, no glue. I can look for the website with instructions if you’re interested

I’m exclusively on Pinterest 100hours/week. (I forgot to close the tab with the image search for cool origami)

Keep using the Superflower my friend, and keep the Pico + Dell transformer as backup if the first fails. Maybe in a year or two you’ll find a great deal on a mobo+cpu combo that’s way more efficient and powerful anyway so all investments made now for a few watts will seem moot by then. Just my 2c.

Btw I also have an old Superflower but only 350W, and I recently got a used (barely) Seasonic Focus 550W in case I needed more wattage again (for multiple HDDs spinning up at boot or in case I bought a GPU again), also gold-rated. I was looking to get a Titanium or Platinum one but the price difference was still quite unjustifiable for my use case (idle server/NAS).

Another thing, I never bothered testing with a wattmeter (except the one on the UPS display) because I read that they’re a lot less accurate at the low wattages that we are discussing. Also the UPS alone causes some losses as well.

I don’t think a Platinum vs a Gold ATX rated PSU is going to make such a drastic difference on such low wattages, unless they’re made for low workloads. Efficiency is highest around half of the rated maximum load.

So something like a PicoPSU is likely more efficient, and if electricity is very expensive you could even make a return on that investment in 5-10years maybe…I wouldn’t worry too much about a 5-10W difference (unless the pc will be off-grid), at the same time a quality PSU will produce less heat and be more silent, will have a fanless mode built in, those are bigger advantages to me.
