Sure, but Microsoft has since contributed a lot to Linux and other open source projects. That’s not me saying “oh they’ve changed!”, that’s me saying they’ve made it significantly harder on themselves to bring legal action against because they’ve publicly endorsed and supported the project for so long.

Whatever legal arguments they tried in the past that failed are even weaker now.

Another recommendation for tdarr, set it up in January and let it transcode away, going to h265 for all my media - saved me over 40TB of space so far and I haven’t noticed a massive drop In quality or had any playback issues.

Wow, guess the Saudis overpaid with that $1billion, they must be kicking themselves

Yeah honestly either solution is a solid one

The guy above you gives great advice. Set up SWAG, then the only ports you’re exposing are 443.

Once you have that set up, look at adding something like authelia. This will give you 2FA on top of those apps meaning even if someone guesses the password and the URL to access them, they still won’t be able to.

The rights to search sure are, but it’s more like Google happens to be the one paying it right now. It could be Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone.

Mozilla definitely needs to diversity better here, but the implication that they’re “funded by google” is completely misleading.

I dont know much about the primary developers of Lemmy,

With respect, maybe you shouldn’t be commenting on what’s going on behind the scenes. They are good developers but they’re not good leaders or shepherds of such a big project. They need to hand over stewardship to someone that can be trusted.

Google pays them to be the default search engine, they’re not funded by Google.

We desperately need a company like Mozilla to take the reigns of something like Lemmy. The original developers are far too biased and short sighted to see the bigger picture, it needs to be an independent group that promotes more open source development.

Sabnzbd is probably the best choice of download client, fyi.

Hey sorry I’m late, but thanks for your response to my original question above. I’m sorry such shit things have happened to you but I hope things get better <3

What’s the weirdest thing that’s happened to you since coming out as trans?

Let’s find the benchmark for making the questions weird.

Yeah if it was just a switch I’d be fine, but for gateway/firewall options it’s a bit of a bugger unless I want a 1U device

I wish they had more 2.5G or even SPF+ options in this range. I’m lucky enough to have a >1gigabit home connection but router options are surprisingly limited if I want that full connection speed going to my server

I think you’re missing the point I’m getting at. The Linux challenge was specifically a gaming challenge, or at least gaming was a significant part of the challenge and while yes, gaming has indeed come a long way in recent years (and the stream deck is helping drive that further), it still has as long way to go.

You need to separate the “what’s doable” fun “what works out of the box”, it’s the latter that can fall down for most people and the second you have to open as terminal, you’ve lost the audience that we’re talking about.

I’m going to bet your 80 year old gran isn’t playing AAA games and streaming on her Linux PC.

I thought the Linux gaming pc challenge was fair. You have to remember that most users are not technical at all and that’s where Linux falls down.

The only thing I disagreed with him majorly on was his complaint about the GitHub interface not downloading files you click on by default. I get where he’s coming from as a non-dev, it’s jarring and confusing but as a developer that’s the last thing you’d want. His complaint about GitHub’s interface really should have been directed at all those people using GitHub as a place to store files. But that’s so intrinsic to Linux, it’s hard to get away from yet it’s something that does prevent Linux from appealing to the mainstream.

Don’t get me started on the reliance upon the terminal and bash scripts to achieve anything. I cringe every time someone says “just go here and copy/paste these commands”, not just because it’s unintuitive but because it’s also a major security risk. Not that windows is innocent of this either but it’s much more common in Linux.

A lot of people complain about the clickbait headlines or that he’s hamming it up for the camera. He does get a lot of hate.

I personally find him entertaining and I like most of the other presenters. I don’t mind the clickbait headlines because they’re all clickbait, it’s like a running joke itself.

I know this will get hate, but I still enjoy LTT.

Yeah, it’s very powerful, it just needs a bit of a UX refresh.
