I like to call it a significant career change.
I want to switch to jellyfin, I selfhost but I don’t want to open a port directly to my server. I don’t understand how everyone else figures this out and I’m apparently an idiot.
Also do people expect all who use my server to start a VPN each time? What if they leave it on and their other streaming services are using my bandwidth.
I don’t understand and I have looked it up but I don’t see a consensus.
They just put out a huge update for the shield. Mine still plays the vast majority of things perfectly, even hevc and 4k content. I am perfectly happy with my shield pro. I’d buy one again if the current one shits the bed.
What are my other options? Apple TV and what else? Everything else is ad ridden underpowered and lacking licenses to play media.
There are dozens of us!
I’ve had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it’s still a pain!
Otherwise I’m enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.
I don’t have experience with any readers until recently. Did some research and went with. Kobo colour. It has met expectations and I’m using it with no issue.
I wanted physical buttons.
I didn’t want an Amazon device.
I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.
Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.
If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it’s the topic, or my mood, or life.
Enjoy tng again!
My server is exactly as I need. Basically 1 year old now. This year I really want to do vlans to control the network more than an off the shelf router. I work in tech and still am struggling because all I know is meraki bullshit and that’s not priced for the typical home user.
I’ll need a few AP’s and a switch and firewall. I don’t know what to get or what to buy and each research session ends with more options than I started with. Anyway that’s my goal. I’ll get there eventually.
I get that it’s always been like that, it just shouldn’t be. Whether you believe it’s okay or not is totally an opinion and it’s fine. I’ve used sync alone for as long as it’s been around basically.
Just switched recently to Thunder. It’s a bit slower but has a lot of options. Its working fine… And this is from a person who has been many times over the years and is currently paying for sync.
Sync is more reddit than reddit was. And is my Lemmy experience up until a few days ago.
I’m sure it’ll be fun and I’m always glad to have more trek.
Two things concern me, first every person we’ve met previously from section 31 has been an asshole. Intentional writing to make them them an organization working against the ideals of the federation. Will that make it harder for me to like the characters or their missions? I am unsure if I want to relate better to them.
The second is that universe ending stuff has little emotional impact on me, it’s unimaginable to me especially with the CGI required to visualize it. Episodes always hits me harder when it’s a planet, a species, a special person or some mystery to be discovered.
Low heat alone will help a ton like you said, high heat seems to ruin everything and it’s just not needed unless unless it’s towels maybe.
I knew that fabric softener would stop towel absorption but I never thought about dryer sheets too. I thought those were just antistatic.
Also the “deli sites” typo made me laugh.
DON’T DATE ROBOTS!
This is an incredible write up and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
I’ve used both platforms, and had fun with both. I barely use either for posting though, and more for trying to follow topics I like, as I do on Lemmy.
Anything to stop ending my Google searches in “reddit”.
Yep sorry I wasn’t specific and thank you for clarifying. Auto forward so like I want my girlfriend to receive all my Walmart+ emails which doesn’t let you have accounts like Amazon. So I forward all emails. Had to keep my Gmail to just make it easy. I’m sure there’s a more complicated setup but it’s Walmart… I just need email to get to both of us about orders.
It’s like this because it’s secure, there’s was good reason they didn’t have this feature. But it’s inconvenient and I’m not using Proton because I’m a secret agent, I just to want to pay for a product instead of being the product.
Couldn’t forward emails until about a month ago.
Their drive app backs up only the computer it’s on and other computers cant access that backup. It’s like a sectioned off part. Or I can upload files that any of my devices can access.
Their calendar has some problems with compatibility of run into and it’s things that the person on either side can’t change. Not world ending but it’s really annoying.
They literally just added the ability to automatically add holidays to the calendar. And of course I had set it up about a month prior so I manually entered everything.
The proton drive app for your phone doesn’t automatically back up anything.
I’m not shitting on proton because I’m an active proton unlimited subscriber and I use a bunch of their services, but I also recognize the flaws and how it’s not as seamless as Google yet, which I don’t expect it to be.
I also wish they had some better Linux support in preaching to the choir with that.
Love their vpn and the netshield features. Email works great and I love knowing I can read an email and automatically have trackers blocked. Aliases are great but I use their simple login site free with my proton subscription too. So my point is I like them lots, but it’s not a complete Google replacement yet.
They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.
I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.
Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.
