She’s the woman who kept the dream alive.

Do you reckon there’s a fraction out the back that isn’t 9/10, or did it never exist?

I’m wondering why it’s even a thing.

That sounds like a bit of a ride. I just selfhosted everything. There’s still things tied to my gmail, and probably always will be. However they’re not seeing the important stuff like medical, school, banking and services.

NGL; selfhosting is quite a commitment too. Especially for email. There are a lot of hoops to get trust as a server, and full text search took me years to get working right. Hosting a keepass database on a personal webserver is not as convenient, but there’s 100% control.

I inherently don’t trust any company that sells trust or privacy as a product. I’ll only fully trust open source software running on my own metal.

I wonder if anyone ever wrote an update aggregator that would find all package managers, containers and git repos and whatnot and just do all of them.

Some are a right pain to update, such as Nextcloud. Installing a monthly update should not feel like an enterprise prod deployment.

It’s kinda ironic that package managers have caused the exact problem that they are supposed to solve.

So, ChatGPT can’t match any function of a Casio wristwatch. I’m concerned that when it can, it will consume the power of microwaving a turkey just to tell a user what time it is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost money on the hardware. Remove their software and the revenue stream is severed from day one.

GrapheneOS and LineageOS don’t ship with any Google services at all, so Google’s policies shouldn’t affect them.

I’ve found the biggest bottleneck is bugs. If you catch a bug during development, it takes the least time to fix.

Catch a bug during PR, you need to fix the code, and the PR needs to happen again.

Catch a bug in QA, and you need to fix the code, do another PR, and get it tested again.

This pattern goes right through UAT, and god help you when a bug makes it to Prod.

There is nothing more time consuming than code that was written quickly.

I just peel it under running cold water. Fast and easy.

Ahh. That’s usually among the red stuff in dmesg. I glad to hear you solved it, but a failing hard drive is a pricey thing to endure these days.

This is no different to the meta pixel localhost listener exploit.

This is absurd. They know we can go all the way to the root servers, don’t they?

Just start listening to dubstep and you’ll stop noticing 😆.

Maybe run lm-sensors and make sure the CPU/GPU isn’t being thermothrottled? I’d usually look at dmesg and look for red stuff. Any hardware issues are usually pretty obvious.

Try other apps. If you youtube or VLC behaves the same, the problem may be outside of jellyfin. If not, it narrows it down.

If could even be the server not being able to transcode in realtime. Try watching a file known to already be in a suitable format. It should direct stream and be much less load on the server. I’ve seen server encode CPU saturation and it does kinda look the same as client decode stutter. If it’s the server, you’ll probably see the same stutter from another device such as a phone.

There’s a “minimal” install that gives you a bare desktop. The only thing I would consider bloatware is snapd.

Agreed. It’s an uphill optimization battle. We’re now in a world where you need 6GB RAM to chat on Discord while scrolling Facebook.

Ubuntu and its apps (particularly Firefox) are incredibly efficient and respects your hardware resources. I can write a web page with a 5MB RAM footprint. It’s when you open the New York Times that your swapfile gets face-slapped.

Funnily enough, an Ubuntu server will run on a half-eaten potato. I’ve got 16GB in mine, and I’m running servers for LAMP (Nextcloud and Wordpress), NTP, Samba, Mail, Jellyfin, tor, XMPP, CUPS and a few other things. It typically uses around 2GB at idle.

They’re keeping their options open in case they want to switch sides halfway through the war.

Neither have reported trackers on the Aurora store. But I would suspect it’s some kind of bloat. I’m sure it’s trivial to do an apk teardown and check the source code. I can’t be bothered though.

Headless. The word you’re looking for is “headless”.

I had a friend give me kanji learning cards and she had to write the pronunciation of each word for me. It had me stumped that similar kanji had no phonetic relationship.

I can sometimes read a kana word in under 30 seconds. I’m that bad. At least the symbols that look similar often sound similar too.

K-9 got rebranded to Thunderbird. I see Mozilla are releasing K-9 at the same time, but I’m unsure why. Thunderbird is double the size so there must be some kind of difference

I’ve found that I too had to keep Google Play Store because some apps complain if it goes missing. However I’ve blocked network access for it (something GrapheneOS can do) and it’s effectively cut off from the mothership.
