Aren’t the networking features just toggles in the settings already? I remember seeing several of the mentioned features in there.

I’d say it depends on what your hardware supports for encoding and for playback.

Best quality at small size = AV1

Good with decent support = h265

Best support = h264

I haven’t used any of the 3, but from a look over them superfile looks a lot more user friendly and has a nicer overall look.

Edit; the install process is rough though, complains about missing glibc but searching for that package in apt doesn’t show anything promising. It also seems to require some kind of third party font that isn’t included? I gave up lol that’s too much for me to deal with.

It’s definitely a big learning curve with how complex installing things on linux is haha, I’m still used to windows just open the exe installer and that’s it.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I mean there’s that, but it’s a lot of work for a dev too.

I would rather Linux just be able to detect what’s missing and install it for me. In the case of a lot of missing components, what it says is missing will be named completely different from the package you need to install which makes it really hard.

It was always nice with windows installers because they would come with the needed components, or windows would just prompt to install them automatically.

I guess that’s essentially what Flatpak solves!

Nonetheless, as a Linux user, you are encouraged to build directly from source.

Yeah screw that lol, I want my OS to just work and be easy to use with minimal fuss.

What’s wrong with the built in windows firewall? It works well, has a GUI to add rules, etc… You don’t even need to touch it on a default setup for most people.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I haven’t had that happen unless my gateway or DHCP server changes, but on a server wouldn’t adding the rules to both public and private profiles solve that too?

Generally to depend on a container it needs to be in the same compose project, so if you move gluetun into the one with qbittorrent it should work fine.

Intel Quicksync would do it, no need for a dedicated GPU.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yes hence no need for a dedicated GPU

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I didn’t say CPU? Quicksync is Intels dedicated hardware transcoder in the iGPU.

No good hardware acceleration for video.

Iirc if you pay for it the main thing is selective sync

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Syncthing keeps folders in sync between multiple devices, it doesn’t have any concept of users since it’s not designed for that.

You want Nextcloud or similar ‘google drive’ replacement if you want to share individual files and folders with specific users easily.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Well each share can choose which devices it shows up for, so you don’t really need users in that sense. But also if you run it under another user account it will have its own clean profile too.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Definitely worth using specific versions on your docker images if you’re doing automatic updates.

traefik:mimolette for example should keep you on 2.x versions while still getting patches and bug fixes.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I mean same, I say it’s worth using but I don’t do it either haha.

Everything is backed up every night, so if something breaks to the point of data loss I just fix it after.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I wouldn’t worry about a specific number of cores, as that doesn’t translate at all to CPU performance. Instead look at single thread performance.

So something with a Core i5-7500 on ebay for example, should be able to get one in your price range after buying more RAM.

Around $10/TB for used stuff which is what I run in everything.

Drives are going to fail at some point, regardless if new or used. So I’m not worried about used drives, I test them with a full write/read run initially, and have backups in place.

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Yup, data loss happens at some point, either hardware failure, software bugs, or just plain old user error.

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices

They have a dedicated set of servers your devices and app are connecting to, that’s what home assistant is essentially replacing.

It’s not just app > device, it’s app > server > device.

What is it? I looked up rofi but that’s even more confusing. Maybe a screenshot or two would help in the readme?

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

That’s neat but how is it related to bitwarden? That’s where I’m stumped.

Simple fix on KDE wayland for windows to remember their last position (imgur.com)

Thanks to /u/azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works for mentioning KDE window rules. In KDE, we can add rules for windows so that they behave in specific ways. One rule that can be added is the position: remember rule, and it’s possible to make that rule apply to all windows by removing the match field. This way, closing and reopening...

Why on earth isn’t this the default behavior lol, who is out there wanting their windows to just open up randomly.
