How did you set them up with Plex?
I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.
Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…
Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…
It was about a year ago so maybe it’s improved since then. One specific hiccup I recall with Mint that I didn’t have with Bazzite was getting acceleration in a browser. I’m certainly not recommending Nvidia users avoid Mint!
As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.
But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.
Yes a little bit if you have an Nvidia card, and Bazzite has the option to boot right into a Steam Deck like interface which is great for controller gamers.
To be clear Mint is a totally fine choice too, but for gaming and especially for a total Linux newbie Bazzite is the choice.
Bazzite 100%. It’s the best out of the box gaming distro, and bonus points for immutability (not that your friend needs to know what that is).
I would like to see 8K for movies in cinema, especially for remasters/digitizations from existing film negatives and archival purposes.
While I wouldn’t say no to it, 8K on a TV under 75" is not going to add much value to the average consumer.
I upvoted you, but I do feel it’s only a matter of time before the open source community outpaces Apple as well. Just a few short years ago the “year of the Linux desktop” was a joke. Now for many, Linux is unquestionably the better option.
Imagine having the option to be-exactly-like-MacOS-if-you-want-but-aren’t-forced-to (basically what’s happened with Linux and Windows this year). It would be game over for Apple, at least from a software perspective.
Zorin is a good OS but IMO it’s a little too simplistic for most people who know what an operating system is.
But as the video gets at, the question of “when will Linux be better than Windows” is solidly “today”. MacOS is probably still “better” for someone fully invested in the Apple ecosystem. But Linux is not far behind that either.
Thank goodness, the fan has a mind of it’s own sometimes.
I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?
wow 9/11 changed everything
Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄
We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.
Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.
If I was the tyrant king of Lemmy I would force all communities to do this
I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.
It’s my understanding that anything doing this would also need to also emulate Chromecast, since the “cast” buttons inside the Amazon Prime/Netflix/Spotify/etc apps uses the proprietary Chromecast protocol.
Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.
We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.
I also just want to add the batteries in most of those zigbee buttons last on the order of years
