Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • My combo is Jellyfin+Symfonium

    With Symfonium you can manually download playlists and favorites for offline, and/or have a “rolling cache” where the most frequent listens are automatically kept synced for offline listening.

    My collection is far too large to keep on my phone in its entirety, but with Symfonium I don’t need to, and if I’m ever caught without internet, I’ve still plenty to listen to.

    Jellyfin does not organize the music, it’s a way to browse and access it. For a nice client for desktop, look at Feishin.

    To actually organize the music, you want something like Picard.



  • Lots of good channel suggestions.

    But I would also nominate COSMOS.

    Both the original hosted by Carl Sagan, and the new series with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    For me, they brought the epicness of reality, scientific history, and the vastness of the universe, into focus in a way nothing else did.

    They made me feel a hopeful and powerful “humanity is fucking AWESOME, and can do INCREDIBLE things”. It’s not just informative. It lights a fire in you for the way humanity fights its way through the dark, using the scientific method as our guide.













  • But there are no hacks required to install it on old hardware.

    Yes there are.

    If you used rufus or ventoy, you’ve just applied them without knowing.

    Unmodified Windows 11 ISOs will refuse to install on any hardware with a CPU older than Ryzen 3000 or Intel 8000.

    In fact there are less hacks required to install / upgrade to windows 11 then there are to install any Linux distro.

    What?

    On the vast majority of systems, the vast majority of linux distros will install and run with zero “hacks” of any kind. Literally just boot the ISO as-is and have at it.

    genuine copy of windows will receive all and any updates

    No. On many machines, while windows will install just fine due to the modifications to the installer applied by rufus/ventoy, the yearly major version updates can fail catastrophically.

    A lot of hardware will update without issue, but there ABSOLUTELY is risk.

    Windows is just an os. As long as it is compiled for the correct CPU architecture, it is just as supported as any other hardware. The hardware is supported by individual drivers, normally provided by the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.

    You are confusing functional, and supported.

    Something can “technically still work” without being officially supported.

    Not being supported means Microsoft can make breaking changes in updates, because they made no promises your hardware would be accounted for in the future.

    Just because it works today, no longer means it will tomorrow.




  • I don’t think everyone should self-host. This person was certainly in over their head.

    Synology likes to pretend that it’s easy, but doing it right in the ways that make it actually superior to something like Google Drive, is not.

    It would be nice if everyone could know someone, who does run one.

    Why have a NAS per person, when you can have one per family, friend group, or workplace?

    Sadly that will lead to some people relying on hardware that WILL fail in ways that means lost data. Tons of small scale users does mean a lot of people who won’t quite know what they should know about how to do it.
