I imagine the largest mobile phone operating system on the planet has a few more downloads than one of the several available package managers for the comparatively very small desktop Linux audience, yeah. This is the Linux community, not the Android or Google community, so I’m not sure what you’re yapping away about or why.

edit: i wanted to know how many devices run android and according to this it’s three billion so you’re wrong anyway lmao

I was using Radarr/Sonarr to download files via qBittorrent and then hardlink them to an organized directory for Jellyfin, but I set up my container volume mappings incorrectly and it was only copying the files over, not hardlinking them. When I realized this, I fixed the volume mappings and ended up using fclones to deduplicate the existing files and it was amazing. It did exactly what I needed it to and it did it fast. Highly recommend fclones.

I’ve used it on Windows as well, but I’ve had much more trouble there since I like to write the output to a file first to double check it before catting the information back into fclones to actually deduplicate the files it found. I think running everything as admin works but I don’t remember.

They’re broken for me as well. They’re missing the https:// at the beginning, which I think is the problem. Here are the links:

If not then there’s always Navidrome which is built specifically for music. Haven’t used it myself but lots of people seem to love it.

I like Jellyfin for my media server, including music.

On Android I use Symfonium (works with Jellyfin as well as other backends). Nothing comes close to this app imo.

On desktop I use Feishin which serves me well (Jellyfin only afaik). It’s not perfect and it does have a bug where adding an album to queue will actually add all albums with that exact name to queue (even from different artists), but that issue is being tracked on GitHub and otherwise I run into few issues.

That looks like WizTree which is what I use

In case nobody has mentioned Asahi Linux yet, I’ll bring it up. I haven’t used it, but I have a friend who does.

Asahi Linux is a project and community with the goal of porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, starting with the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.

Our goal is not just to make Linux run on these machines but to polish it to the point where it can be used as a daily OS. Doing this requires a tremendous amount of work, as Apple Silicon is an entirely undocumented platform.

Asahi Linux is developed by a thriving community of free and open source software developers.

I believe they have a Fedora-based distro that should be solid for daily use, but again I haven’t used this myself.

They misinterpreted “metaverse platform, mozilla.social” as a single item in the list, not as two items.

For anyone who isn’t aware, Mozilla has a thing called Mozilla Hubs that could be considered a metaverse product

I recommend against gogs. It’s missing lots of features that I expected and I ended up switching to gitea anyways. Gitea works well for everything I need and forgejo is a fork of gitea that I might switch to in the future.

Yes, but to block fake news you need the max setting, which also blocks social media

If you’d prefer, of course, you could block social media without blocking fake news, because priorities

Golang v1.0 was released in March of 2012. Not sure I would consider it a new language.

I don’t think this lends enough credit to how centralized the music industry is and the role that plays. If you want the world’s music catalogue, you need contracts with like three companies. That level of centralization makes it straightforward to get a music catalogue going with basically everything someone might want to listen to, but it also severely hampers your ability to do anything those three companies don’t want. If anyone’s wondering why Spotify is pushing podcasts so hard, it’s because that’s the only way for them to get out from under the thumb of the few music megacorps that they have to license from to stay relevant. Spotify needs a revenue stream less dependent on the big three and it sees podcasts as its way out.

I’m sure music files being smaller and easier to pirate helped light a fire under the ass of the music industry to modernize, but that isn’t the only factor at play here and I don’t even think it’s one of the main ones. If I recall correctly, Spotify is the company who went to the music labels asking for a contract. In order to show that the tech works, they had to pirate the initial catalogue until they had deals with music labels to license the music. Spotify brought their streaming vision to the music industry, not the other way around.

I believe Netflix had a good catalogue at first because every other company was sleeping on the streaming boom that Netflix was ahead of the curve on. Netflix could get good streaming license deals because nobody really cared about this little company they’d never heard of. As soon as everyone realized what was up, they scrambled to copy Netflix and pulled their libraries to fracture the streaming space.

From the start, the music industry knew what Spotify was and could be and knew how to use their leverage to keep themselves on top (Spotify isn’t functionally allowed to be their own license for music creators, for example). I don’t think the movie streaming space realized what Netflix was until it blew up.

I don’t think the problem is that movie/tv hasn’t “figured it out.” The music space would be just as fractured if it wasn’t as centrally organized. I think the problem is that the industries are just structured really differently, so they played out really differently.

To be clear, I’m not defending the music or movie/tv industry. I just think the situations are more nuanced than “music freaked out and got their shit together and movie/tv hasn’t yet.”

If your Plex server was hosted on Hetzner and only stopped working very recently, this is probably what happened.

Few reasons. First, the United States is huge. Texas alone is twice the size of Germany. Second, the U.S. has three main power grids. The left half, the right half, and Texas. It’s a little more complex than that, but the important part is that Texas is on its own. Third, Texas hates people. They let companies deregulate to hell and back, even at the expense of its residents.

The combination of being on its own power grid, deregulating that power grid and the companies that maintain it, and not taking proper precautions to protect its residents all leads to a less-than-reliable power grid when it gets hit with any non-standard weather. Texas especially needs to prepare for climate change, but things could definitely be going better…

Kopia actually has a GUI option too! I use it all the time! I pair it with a docker webdav server running on my server pc across the room.

I didn’t read fancy as meaning “good movies I like” my bad. I thought it was just a modifier to sweet spot meant to spice up the sentence oops

7–20gb for a 1080p movie? Only my 4k movies are allowed to burn that much space. Most of my 1080p movies are under 5gb (usually under 3). I think the only 1080p movie I have at that size is Jiang Ziya: Legend of Deification (2020) at ~11gb, and that’s only because I haven’t found a dual audio version in HEVC/AV1.

Edit: For context, I watch on a 1440p monitor with headphones that simulate 7.1 surround sound (Logitech G Pro X Wireless). A LOT of my 1080p movies are RARBG’s 2gb 5.1 releases. Incredible quality for how tiny the files are. Actual magic.
