Sucks to be american. Sucks to live in america.

Why would anyone?

I found Big Clive is posting here. I’m sold, he is the only reason I use YT, so now I can cut that fucking shit off at the neck.

odysee.com

And I am going to check out peertube as well.

BrownianMotion, 20 days ago

For now, yes. You actually believe that will continue to be that way in 12 - 18 months?

The kids don’t care, they will just use CoCo Fun (most are using both apps anyway).

The only difference is that with Coco Fun, its America spying on your kids.

Came to say this. Here in the AU you cannot exclude certain things, this being one of them. They can write it all they like into the TOS, but cannot be enforced. There are many examples, but basically no TOS/Warranty/T&C can exclude or explicitly deny any rights you have or laws that protect you.

Similar to warranty here. Many companies like to put “limited liability” and 30 day warranty. But in AU, the warranty has to fall within our laws. (for example Samsung saying warranty on a $5000 TV is 2 years. Well in AU if the tv is that expensive, you have the right to claim warranty on manufacturing failure for at least 5 years.) Many items we buy here, have an “Australia only warranty amendment page” stuffed in the box!

If you are looking for a specific video, use DDG search, then click videos. No ad’s!

Obviously not useful if you’re just randomly browsing content.

yes, but did you enable an adblocker? I’m just saying it will work browsing via DDG. (oh, and I’m on PC. Don’t know if this would work on a phone).

You can do this with HAProxy already in opnsense. And yes you can route more than just HTTP. (when you are making the Backend rules, switch from Layer 7, to Layer 4. Only thing is that it will do TCP, but not UDP.

As you have posted, port forward cannot tell what the domain even is. (and the url alias is not used the way you are thinking).

I read about this, and you will have the ability to turn the ad’s off in settings.

They are optional. For now.

It’s in their docs. docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/…/index.html

Follow the pages one by one, (ie install php modules etc, edit settings, install apache2, edit settings, etc etc). Follow the recommendations (eg. PHP8.2, don’t try to use bleeding edge).

You’ll be running in no time, and have a properly updatable system using apt, and the nextcloud ./occ command.

I would recommend using Debian 12 over Ubuntu variants. There are other guides, like this: digitalocean.com/…/how-to-install-and-configure-n…But you may have to “convert” some of the Ubuntu specific stuff to Debian, but actually there is probably no difference (php module naming convention maybe? Is that still a problem today?)

Tbh, get a Brother printer for any OS. At least they don’t buy into the shitfuckery that HP and others do with ink and firmware updates.

I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and ‘one’) and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

BrownianMotion, 1 month ago

This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

“video games” were mechanical, and you interacted with targets by manipulating a metal spherical pixel using, hand eye coordination, timing and physics. You were rewarded with multiple “pixels” if you were good enough.

They cost 20c to play and you only got 3 lives.

BrownianMotion, 1 month ago

no such thing as a quarter in Oz. So 20c. But I remember watching the 20c games go from that to 40c, 50c and then $1. For games like KISS, and Playboy none the less! (Other 70’s style pinnies never got passed 50c because they were not popular enough, and newer ones were shadowing them in the 80’s.

Anyone still using LibreSSL and not OpenSSL, has only themselves to blame. Or their company or whoever is forcing it on them.

The only people that will really suffer from this is businesses. They will have to buy W11, and they will need to get supported hardware. However, businesses usually have rolling upgrades in place in the IT and have probably rolled out many already.

As for home users, with each newer generation, they become more tech savy. I can tell you now, this won’t affect as many people as you imagine.

• 1: W11 is free to download from M$. You can choose whether or not to buy a licence. W11 cracks already exist, M$ is still using key management services, so something like KMSpico still work. There are also tons of activator scripts on github (lol, since M$ owns this!).
• 2: Grab a copy of RUFUS. Use it to take the W11 image and remove all restrictions, and dump it to USB.
• 3: ???
• 4: Profit.

“obscure Emby”… You don’t get out much, do you.

Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn’t require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.

It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.

Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.

BrownianMotion, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

no. Jellyfin aims to be totally open source.

Emby is not, and the reason it works better. They pay the licenses for mp4 etc. earn it back from those who support, but it never was truly open source.

Jellyfin is open source, and that is the reason they have “problems” (licensing issues, that you have circumvent if you look hard enough).

For set and forget, Emby and Plex are the choices. Emby does not have a bullshit money making agenda, and is the better option - currently.

BrownianMotion, 2 months ago

Well, yeah true it started like that. But still Jellyfin followed the open source path. I’d expect that under the hood there would be very little left of what was Emby, it was just a starting point. (github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby , before they changed the licensing and removed any further work to the GPL 2 version).

Also Emby is at 4.8.1 now and has been making leaps and bounds in changes lately.

As I said, licensing was the issue for Emby, and the easiest solution was to change their license. It wasn’t just to make money, it was about being able to handle licenses from other software, such as Fraunhofer

$203M in one licenced transaction. Selling their data to Google. No one is falling for this shit.

Google have admitted it.

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/21/24079371/google-ai-gemini-generative-inaccurate-historical

What they are not admitting to (and never will) is that its their incompetence that allowed it.
