I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I’m trying to do right now.

I didn’t get the one with Bluetooth or WiFi or whatever. Just turn it on and set temp. But yea it isn’t the cheapest.

I have the https://fellowproducts.com/products/stagg-ekg-electric-pour-over-kettle and love it, works great and it’s the best looking kettle I’ve seen.

Anybody used this yet? Will this be the btrfs killer I’ve been hearing it might be?

I recently rebuilt my home server using containers instead of (qemu/KVM) VMs and I notice a performance benefit in some areas. Although I just use systemd-nspawn containers rather than docker as I don’t really see the need to install 3rd party software for a feature already installed on my OS.

I handle snapshots by using btrfs. Works great

Alacritty for me

I’m not going to argue that xmpp shouldn’t be the defacto Foss social/chat network based on merit, it definitely has merit. But in reality, it had its shot and it did not take off. Now, in 2023, Matrix is our best shot at an open, Foss, decentralized chat protocol taking off.

Any arguments that xmpp evangelists will try to come back at this statement with do not matter. I’m sorry, it is just a fact, the clock isn’t turning back. Matrix may not be perfect for everybody, but it’s pretty damn great, and it has the momentum right now. Let’s please not screw this up with the typical fragmentation the open source community regularly has.

Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it. Sometimes I hate it at first then grow to love it. Radiohead is a great example of change that I love. First album was mediocre rock, second was much better rock, third was one of the best albums of all time layered… space rock? Then the biggest shift of all to Kid A. Over and over again.

David Bowie is another example of successfully changing sound over and over.

Beastie Boys went from a hardcore band to hip hop.

I know there are examples of bands where I didn’t like the change but I guess I remember the ones I like more. Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins are two bands that got worse over time, although they didn’t change their sound up quite as much as the above mentioned.

Birds nest is amazing, one of the best for traditional wings. My favorite wing spot in Chicago is Crisp, though those aren’t your traditional buffalo wings. Try it anyway.

Pronounced it as a soft g in my head the first time I read it, and years later the creator said it was meant to be a soft g, so I feel validated.

When you create an image format, name it whatever you want and if it’s any good and I use it, I’ll call it what you want

It’d be great if this was easily installable outside of gnome. I’d love an easy way to do this on sway or hyprland. Unless there already is a way?

When deciding between the two I went with Netbird as it is fully self hostable and entirely opensourcen. Also, kernel wireguard support. There were a couple of bugs with some updates but I spoke with the devs over Matrix and got them all resolved. Works fantastic!

Ha I was just listening to the Linux Unplugged podcast and the guy was just complaining about this same thing

There is an android app. I haven’t needed to use it yet though, mobile isn’t my particular use case for this. But it should work fine.

I’ve been using secret option 3- netbird. Kernel wireguard support, completely self hostable, and very active development.

ZFS on file server, fully luks encrypted btrfs on desktop, and probably ext4 or whatever is default on the buntus for laptop and work desktop.

ZFS on freenas/truenas has been rock solid for 10+ year raid. I love working with btrfs snapshots and the ease of adding drives on demand to expand. I don’t think much about ext4 on those systems.

I haven’t been able to subscribe to any community hosted by lemmy.ml for quite awhile. When I click subscribe it just says subscription pending. I figured it was because of their server load at first, but since it’s still happening I’m not so sure. Anybody else having this issue?

Decrypto!
