I just finished watching this German produced Netflix film and it was completely awful. If you are looking forward to this film, go watch it first if you want and skip my little review below....
In Libreelec I am using Jellyfin for Kodi. I have enabled force transcoding. I would like the subtitles in Jellyfin to be burned into the video with no exceptions. There’s an option to disable subtitle extraction on the fly but this doesn’t burn in the subtitles
You can use a tool like Handbrake or ffmpeg to burn titles directly into your videos, but you’d have to re-encode the files. Perhaps not what you actually have in mind?
I want to host a small game server for friends and myself in my home but doesn’t want to open up the firewall. Any tunneling solutions supports UDP? Thnaks.
You might try ZeroTier. You’ll each need a tiny client app, but its super easy to install and setup, and extremely secure. Free to use with up to 25 devices.
I purchased a Pixel 7 for my wife specifically to install Lineage OS 21, replacing a Samsung Galaxy which hasn’t received updates for years. She hates changing phones, but I sold her on a Pixel + Lineage so she can keep the phone as long as possible, still receiving OS updates....
I imagine all plastics will be out of the question. I’m wondering about what ways food packaging might become regulated to upcycling in the domestic or even commercial space. Assuming energy remains a $ scarce $ commodity I don’t imagine recycling glass will be super practical as a replacement. Do we move to more unpackaged...
Sadly, the dems are more like the centrist party, which is why the repubs keep pulling the US further to the right. Would be great if the republicans self-destructed from within like they seem to trying to do, opening a void for actual libs to go against the dems. A person can dream, anyway!
Hey guys, I have a macbook pro 2019 (intel architecture) that my company gave me for work (I do software development). They allow me to work on linux if I want to, and recent developments at the company have made me more inclined....
I run kubuntu on a 2012 Intel i5 MBP and it runs like a champ. everything works perfectly, including mic, speakers, webcam… even minor details like the hardware buttons to turn brightness and volume up/down worked straight out of the box with no fuss.
I used to make clocks with the platters and give them to friends and family. Michael’s used to sell inexpensive clock mechanisms that looked really cool against the platter background. I haven’t seen them lately, but I’m sure someone sells them online.
I just inherited a handful of Samsung Series 7 Slate PCs that I’d like to rebuild to be as “tablet-like” as possible for a few non-technical friends and family. They power up but arrived with non-functional Windows 7 installs. They’re Intel Core i5s with 4G RAM and 128G SSDs, so they should run pretty well under any...
hmm, anything Google is usually not my first choice, but thanks for the suggestion! If I’m not happy with other options I might give chrome a shot anyway. Thanks!
Hi there, do you know if there is a way to disable laugh tracks from sitcoms? I really would like to rewatch some shows like King of Queens but I can’t bear the constant laughing in the background. Cheers
Check out the Chocolatey package manager for Windows. It makes updates for all our common packages available through git/yum/brew easily installed/updated on Windows. PowerShell will never be anywhere near as nice as sitting at a proper linux terminal, but Chocolatey makes the Windows experience slightly more bearable when you need to use it.
Is it one that you just use and works just fine? Or one that has proven to be reliable and responsible if they do a mistake and only want to satisfy you as a customer?
That said, there are a number of folks rightfully concerned about the sheer mass of information Cliudflare has access to through their Content Delivery Network (their primary service). This raises potential privacy concerns, especially for self-hosters, who tend to prefer not to rely too heavily on any one large company. However, you don’t actually have to use their CDN service to make use of their minimally-priced Registrar functionality, and personally I really appreciate the services they offer. Their free tier is really impressive, and incredibly useful.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

+1 for pihole! Stupid easy for linux geeks to setup and maintain, but probably a pretty hard sell for the more general public. A cloud service like NextDNS might be more appropriate for average Joes. I can’t speak to AdGuard since I don’t use it, but I know that name gets mentioned frequently in privacy circles - favorably, I think…
I discovered and installed it a long time ago, but it won’t run on my SO’s old phone and I haven’t been able to convince anyone else I know to help me test it. So, I love the concept but can’t vouch for its usability. Widespread user adoption is always an issue with mew privacy or security tech.
I got far enough on pixelfed.social to confirm my email address, now I just get a blank blue screen. Not an encouraging first impression. Perhaps I tried to join during a media-caused mad rush or something?
