I’m looking for a way to watch recent Nebula plus videos. I only have two short videos that I am looking to watch and I don’t think that justifies the cost of a subscription, though I would gladly pay 50p for each video.
So I recently went through all of this headache. I started really wanting hotswap that didn’t look like it was from the 90’s. I also needed like 8 drives capacity which rules a lot of the popular cases out.
I thought about it for a while and I don’t really touch the drives at all on any of my previous Nas builds so that meant I didn’t need hotswap.
Eventually I decided that rather than try to hide the case away I would make it a feature of my living room and I went with the tower 500 and I really love it and everyone that has gone over has mentioned how cool it looks
I recently started using Kodi for my linux distro collection, but some videos look terrible in comparison to when played in VLC. See attached picture with screengrabs from VLC and Kodi of the same frame in an MKV 1080p h.265 file. What could be the issue? I didn’t change any video settings in either
It’s interesting but I’ve not had any performance issues running Kodi on anything from a fire tv to a Chromecast to windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I don’t run a ton of plugins but the ones I do work almost flawlessly most of the time.
I will say that a couple of years ago I moved to using the jf server connected to Kodi and that seems to be the best of every world. I get the Kodi interface (jf didn’t have themes and it is still really unintuitive to me) and I get a single repository for my multiple clients.
All of this is to say that perhaps Kodi isn’t as bad as you think it is just because you had some issues with your install.
Could this be because you’ve set the forwarded address to be insecure in the reverse proxy essentially doing SSL termination at the reverse proxy? To test this theory, set the destination local address to also use https not just http
I’m using a Sony BRAVIA TV equipped with Google TV. A Pioneer Elite home theater system is plugged in to the ARC-enabled HDMI port. When I try to adjust the volume with the TV remote, the receiver only changes the volume within a range that isn’t perfectly consistent; usually displaying around -45 dB at minimum to -30 dB at...
I have a Bravia XR65X95K and a Denon receiver. I’ve got it set so that I control everything with the Sony remote. There is a little lag when changing the volume but it’s always in sync if that makes sense. I’m not at home but I can show my settings later if that helps. Maybe post yours and I can tell you what’s different.

The way the author just degrades using email at all isn’t doing him any favours imo. Sometimes there are restrictions and certain technologies need to be used. Let’s say that I need to use email but need someone to verify that it’s me sending the email. PGP is an easy-ish way of doing that. It’s trivial to make an SMTP server to send an email as anyone you want and have that email go through down filters. If it isn’t signed though, which is much harder to forge, the other user knows I didn’t send the email.
Just to be clear, I’m not advocating for PGP, I don’t use PGP, I could care less if email disappears. I just think the bias is detrimental to the article
