I really try to move to Jellyfin, but there’s always some papercuts that block me. Tried it last weekend again, and:

• It just can’t find most of my movies in the NAS share. They never appear in the library.
• The music player cannot play all my files. DSF files are transcoded to AAC. Also finamp streams AAC and not Opus, and uses more data than Plexamp did.

I also tried Navidrome for music. Weirdly it had hiccups playing some files, and DSF was again a problem.

I really want to get out from Plex, but I use Plexamp so much and it handles my huge music library really well it’s hard to switch :(

I actually went to read older posts one day. They are actually much better compared to the more recent posts. Now it’s just trolls and shitposting.

LWN is where it’s at for Linux discussion.

Have you considered other distros? I’ve had lots of success with the immutable fedora variants, which offer great stability and NVIDIA drivers in the base system. If you need apt, you create a new Debian container in the box buddy and make that container be your default when opening a terminal.

Gnome variant: https://projectbluefin.io/

KDE variant: https://getaurora.dev/

Gaming variant: https://bazzite.gg/

They are all the same distro with different desktop setup and default apps. You can install one of them and seamlessly switch to another one without losing any data.

You should maybe read about the use cases for deduplication before using it. Here’s one recent article:

If you mostly store legit Blu-ray rips, the answer is probably no, you should not use zfs deduplication.

Yeah… So I’m in Berlin, and in Germany the internet operators finally are building fiber everywhere. The provider who lays the fiber to our street is Deutsche Telekom, and they promise to pay everything: laying the fiber, bringing it to our house and bringing the fiber to every apartment for a two year monopoly on fiber internet after which it’s up for competition using their cables. What needs to happen next is our landlord (a Swiss company) and house management company to agree on these guys to come in, put little fiber dividers to every floor and drill a hole to the walls so we get the fiber cable to our apartment.

Of course this being Germany, they are very slow on agreeing on that, we might need to go to court and for sure we need to talk to our neighbors who own their apartments to push them a bit. I’d expect us to get the connection maybe before end of 2025. But eventually it will happen…

I am doing exactly the same as what the OP is doing. In addition to that, I will unify my beelink mini PC proxmox server and our old Intel atom NAS into one rack server with AMD EPYC, proxmox and truenas in a VM.

I sure hope our landlord and the Internet operator can agree on the operator finally bringing fiber cables to all apartments. Then I would have fast enough uplink to my homelab.

Graphene only works on Pixel phones. Graphene is more private and secure, but might be too many issues for people who do not care about such things that much. Lineage has better support for different phone models, and you can make it just like a normal Android OS, that just happens to provide updates for your phone years after the manufacturer stops sending them.

Neither of them is better than the other, it’s just about your priorities. Get Graphene if you have a Pixel and you value privacy and are willing to tinker with it a bit if some apps don’t work.

Not a sysadmin, but a programmer. My work machines have been:

• 2003-2008 Windows 7
• 2008-2011 Ubuntu
• 2011-2019 Arch
• 2019-2024 NixOS

Probably going to keep using NixOS. This is a very cool OS.

Yeah, I’m also one of these people silently enjoying systemd and wayland. Every now and then there’s fuzz on one of these. I shrug, and move on still enjoying both of them.

A big monitor with 100% AdobeRGB is going to be very very expensive. And if you want it to be 65", you just can’t find them…

And it is a monitor, meant to be watched from a close distance. It will not be such a great experience for movies and such.

That is correct.

The winning strategy for us who do not want to gamble but save some extra for our retirement is to stop looking at the daily values, and invest the same amount monthly to a low cost ETF, such as VUAA.

Now, the S&P 500 has been coming up about seven percent yearly if you look into it for a longer period of time. Repeating the monthly investment until you retire is a good way to get enough to retire comfortably.

128 GB here which runs out if I compile the complete project at work with -j32. And this sucks because 128 GB right now means the RAM cannot run super fast, meaning it is a bottleneck to any modern Ryzen…

A random hacker news comment. I’m in EU, where this kind of tracking is not legal, so I cannot validate…

If it is a Samsung tv, they have been automatically connecting to any open wifi, maybe your neighbor has one. And there goes the data.

Avoid Samsung.

I run invidious at home on my proxmox server. The server is available everywhere with tailscale, so I can use it even when travelling. If Google ever blocks this, nobody at home can watch youtube anymore…

Yeah. He is pretty horrible. What surprised me though is his daughter’s film company has a pretty solid track record on quality movies and tv series:

But yeah, Larry Elison sucks…

In my experience, nix works exceptionally well with Rust. Python and JavaScript are nastier, especially if the libraries use C extensions.

Zenarmor ftw.

Musl can be a bit annoying compilation target sometimes. Usually it works but I’ve debugged bugs a few times that were due to musl target.

I prefer my distro with glibc…
